Aetna Therapists in Broomfield, CO

I am passionate about helping individuals, specifically adolescents and young adults navigating the challenges of life. When working with me you can expect an approach that is collaborative, compassionate, integrative, and strengths-based. Therapy will be guided by your unique and individual needs. My goal is to create a safe and welcoming environment where people can experience healing and change. I often practice from a person-centered approach and can vary depending on my client’s specific needs.

Not afraid of humor as well as difficult feelings, I work with people who want to get back in touch with what's most important to them to feel more connected to themselves and others. I love helping people identify their "Why bother?" such as "Why bother with trying to work less, exercise more, drink or vape less, or feel difficult feelings more?" Negative thinking, anxiety, and increased drinking and other behaviors can be invitations to re-evaluate if you're pursuing the kind of life you desire. I'm here to help you get to the root of concerns, clarify your values, understand the purpose of barriers, and celebrate progress!

Our mission is to make getting mental health care the norm. And while we know that going to therapy and being vulnerable with someone you just met can seem scary, we do everything we can to make each session as comfortable and fun as possible. We aim to walk along this journey with you and provide you with a safe place to talk, decompress, and heal.

I see therapy as such a gift to oneself when trying to make sense of one's identity, relationships, and purpose in this world. My clinical focus is on helping people cope with depression, anxiety, and stress during life transitions to remind my clients of their strengths and how these strengths can help them not only cope, but also celebrate these new chapters in their lives. I have extensive experience in health related issues, acculturation stressors, and on parenting stressors. I strive to create a space of safety that helps my clients feel heard and understood. I am bilingual (Spanish) and bicultural (Ecuadorian descent).

In a world that is moving so incredibly fast, do you find that it's difficult to slow down? As a clinical psychologist, I focus on utilizing mindfulness cognitive-behavioral techniques with a variety of individuals of all ages to help in learning to slow your brain down and to accept and surrender to life's challenges. I have 18 years experience working with those who are suffering from depression, anxiety, anger management, grief, attention, and behavioral issues. You are not alone. You can find support and guidance in taking control of your own thoughts and feelings. Check out my professional website www.drlisatempleton.com

Is the pain of your past making it difficult to live in the present? Have you lost a sense of safety in your life? Do you struggle with getting hijacked by feelings of shame, anxiety, anger, or sadness? Are your relationships suffering and you wonder how you will ever learn to trust again? Are you a parent and feel "stuck" in how to connect with your child and set kind and firm limits that will nurture healthy development? Are you paralyzed by fears of being abandoned or repeating the patterns of harm in current relationships that you experienced as a child? If your answer to any of these questions is yes, then you are not alone.

So happy to be back ! We all have what I call some ‘holes in the soul’ : hurts, regrets, anger from unmet needs that have occurred or resurfaced. If we go too much in the past, we are depressed; if too much in the future, we are anxious. Improving the quality of our lives is not just in ‘surviving’, but in working to move beyond it to LIVE, with better coping skills & relatedness, more awareness, yet balanced and at peace. It's SO about nurturance, trust, & connection !

Life does not always go according to plan. We experience many things that are outside of our control, but they leave a lasting impact on us as human beings. Life is a journey that is not meant to be walked alone, but instead in relationships and with vulnerability and openness. Therapy is an opportunity to build skills and resources to process and navigate life's everyday challenges. Asking for help and finding someone to share your burden with is a great show of strength and courage! For the quickest response please visit my web page and fill out a contact form.
