Therapists in Southeast Boulder, Boulder, CO

Can't fall sleep or wake up tossing and turning far too early? Summit Behavioral Sleep Medicine uses the principles of behavioral sleep medicine to address adult and pediatric insomnia. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) has been identified as the first line of treatment for chronic insomnia by both the National Institutes of Health and the British Association for Psychopharmacology. Our behavioral interventions can also help you optimize use of your CPAP machine to correct abnormal breathing patterns.

I offer an authentic presence and relate to each individual, couple, family and group with heartfelt acceptance, wisdom, and power. My work is centered on building genuine connection, developing somatic awareness, and exchanging honest presence. I offer diverse resources, tools and interventions, including the creative arts, movement, talk-therapy, psycho-education, mindfulness and a safe space to be in relationship. I honor that not everyone learns and heals with the same approach and have a deep respect for the non-verbal realms, for the spiritual world and for the neurology, biology and sociology of making change and achieving optimal wellness.

It takes courage to seek help. I believe that every person can benefit from self-reflection and developing more effective ways to cope with the difficult parts of life. I strive to create collaborative therapeutic relationships with my clients with respect for each person's autonomy and strength. I aim to meet clients where they're at with empathy and compassion. I have experience and feel competent working with people facing various mental health struggles, including anxiety and depression, as well as those wanting support as they navigate life transitions and/or difficulties in both monogamous and non-monogamous relationships.

My approach to health and well-being is rooted in the belief that we have within us the capacity to live satisfying, engaged and meaningful lives. But often we find ourselves in unhealthy and isolating patterns, resulting in anxiety, depression, addictions, and conflictual relationship with those we love and work with. I help people get to the core root of what is holding them back and transform limiting patterns so they can live a happy, healthy life. My style is direct, supportive and creative, integrating the healing power of humor, horses and the great outdoors!

Dr. Deborah Rutt Phd, LCSW, CDWF is a one-of-a kind psychotherapist steeped in both Western and Eastern traditions. With a doctorate in interpersonal communication and change, Deborah helps clients identify their unique strengths, uncover perspectives and new tools for practical and profound change --- for mental health, well-being and to live and love authentically. Deborah enjoys bringing her expertise to enhance relationships of any kind. She is certified facilitator of The Daring Way™ approach to living whole-heartedly, based on the research by Brené Brown Phd, LMSW. Here are some issues that move clients to work with Deborah:

I support the intrinsic health inside each client, work with the factors that get in the way of the expression of that health, and create a compassionate space in which clients can explore, understand, and transform their lives. Clients can be successful and accomplished, just starting their adult life, or questioning the path they have been on and unsure where they will go next. Emotional challenges, relationship frustrations, and stresses can be clues about what is important, and point to areas for acceptance and growth that may be ripe to explore.

My practice is focused on the integration of grief and experiences into your life by using person-centered, humanistic, existential, and contemporary counseling theories serving individuals, families and groups. I grew up in a family of funeral directors and have many life experiences of loss, transitions, and resiliency. I have also lived in recovery for 36+ years. I can also be reached at www.betterhelp.com/halene-phelps. I am available by telehealth.

INTEGRATIVE AND HOLISTIC PSYCHOTHERAPY - My approach is collaborative, interactive and holistic. I am interested in helping you to not only achieve your goals, but to provide lifelong tools for experiencing greater balance and fulfillment and to help you resolve past circumstances that impede living life to its fullest. I bring a diverse training in multiple modalities to our work together including EMDR, Brain-spotting, and Mindfulness and I integrate these with traditional cognitive-behavioral and psychodynamic approaches for optimal healing. I offer Mindfulness Meditation classes to further deepen personal growth and healing.

Transformation only happens in relationship. The absence of a relational home for transformation generally leads to superficial temporary changes. We make ourselves stuck by building walls of protection around us, which probably made perfect sense at the time. However, walls of protection eventually become walls of constriction. These walls lead us to the illusion of having no choices in our situation, to the belief that life is happening to us, instead of what is true, that we are living our lives and making choices of how we live life.

My expertise comes from over 26 years of experience as a licensed professional helping individuals navigate changes in their lives, deal with traumatic events, and cope with the difficulties of day to day life. Sometimes our worries and sadness can feel consuming. In my practice the goal of treatment is to help minimize feelings of anxiety, sadness and pain so that you can work towards a more satisfying and productive life. I enjoy working with children and teens as well as adults, catering my approach to the individual needs of the client.

Do you struggle with motivation, decision-making, shame/guilt or direction? Are you feeling overwhelmed or anxious? Do you struggle with substance abuse? Are you going through transition and struggling to find your own genuine direction? Are you nervous to ask for help? Are you concerned therapy won't be effective? Beginning treatment is a big decision and finding an effective and compassionate therapist that can ease your transition into therapy is very important. I have a warm, genuine and direct approach and believe you will find our work together will be deeply effective and the results positive and lasting.

By now it is obvious to me that we-humans are both individuals and parts of our social systems: our families, friends, sexual identities, gender identities, racial identities, class identities, spiritual and political creeds. Some of these influences are conscious, but much of them are unconscious. The unconscious can be a source of inspiration, or it can be the source of painful repetition. My clients are working to expand their awareness of the systems they are embedded in, and work through the obstacles and restrictions to living their lives with purpose.

I utilize a client-centered foundation balanced with evidence-based practices. It is with purposeful intention that I tailor treatment to each client and am grateful for the opportunity to walk alongside you on the path to wellness. Utilizing genuineness, I seek to foster a safe and empowering environment where a strong therapeutic relationship is formed. My background is working with adults and youth with a variety of clinical concerns, especially depression, anxiety, and trauma-related distress. Additionally, my doctoral degree in Clinical-Community Psychology provides the ability to collaborate with clients to examine the impact of the multiple systemic environments in one's life.

Most likely you're not looking for a therapist because you feel so awesome you want to pay someone to talk about it. I know that certainly wasn't the case for me - I first sought therapy because I was in a ton of pain (and not the physical kind). If that sounds familiar, first off, welcome. Second, although suffering is difficult, sometimes it is the only thing that can motivate us to make the positive changes necessary for true happiness. Although it might be external circumstances that caused you to start looking for a therapist, it is the internal work that sets us free.

I know that children and teens have strengths along with concerning risk factors that may need attention. If you or your family members are experiencing difficulty with your relationships because of communication and problem-solving problems, please consider evidence-based individual or episodic family therapy. Research shows lasting results when parents and youth learn ways to enhance one another's relational skill-building together. I specialize in helping clients find ways to work through risks such as substance abuse, aggression, anxiety, mood swings, trauma, loss and grief, and school issues.

Our badass team helps clients reclaim the joy in their relationships, schooling and careers and go from struggling to thriving. Our clients go from faking their way and just getting through the day to becoming the shining authentic beings they are meant to be. Perhaps you have survived, now it is time to shine. We have an amazing team of folks ranging from clinical interns to senior therapists, but we all specialize in helping clients dive deep and share tools that allow clients to sustain measurable and meaningful change. We accept CCHA Medicaid which is often the state Medicaid assigned to Jeffco and Boulder Counties.

Courage, compassion and creativity are within each of us: It is my honor to support you to connect with real tools and skills that you can use in every aspect of your life; work, family, friendships, and love relationships. I work best with someone who is cautiously optimistic about their journey and who is willing to build a strong, supportive path to journey toward their goals. You don't have to be confident when we start...but I believe you will be before we're through. We will partner together to help you achieve balance, hope, strength and recovery!
