Elders (65+) Therapists in Broomfield, CO

Thank you for your interest in my practice! I am a licensed clinical psychologist in private practice, serving clients in the Boulder and Denver areas. I am a Colorado native returning home after working in Seattle for 12 years. I work with adolescents and adults struggling with a variety of challenges including (but not limited to) depression, anxiety, chronic illness/pain, stress management, relationship problems, adjustment disorders, and trauma. I provide evidence-based treatments in a warm, client-centered environment.

Have you been dealing with the consequences of childhood trauma? Are you sometimes hijacked by emotions like rage, panic, despair or shame? Are dissociative episodes disrupting your daily life? Are your relationships challenged by dysregulated emotions? I work with those of us who are living with dissociative disorders - DID, DDNOS, BPD, DP/DR and autoimmune disorders. Research shows a direct link from childhood trauma to adulthood dissociative & auto-immune disorders. Your nervous system holds the keys to your recovery! I offer a first session for no charge.

Are you feeling overwhelmed and having difficulty managing stress? Are you looking for additional support for you or a loved one? Perhaps you are experiencing a life transition and want to work through challenges, past or present. In therapy, we will work together to discover next steps, identify your strengths, and create regulation skills to increase connection to yourself and others. I provide a safe, welcoming, and compassionate environment where you can explore your true, authentic self and start your healing process.

Hi there! I am so glad you’re here. As a counselor, I am passionate about serving my community however I best can. I hold my master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Northern Colorado. I pull from a variety of experiencing in working in the mental health care industry including working with adults with developmental/intellectual disabilities, adolescents in school settings, adult and adolescent inpatient treatment, mental health and the outdoors, corrections counseling, private practice, group counseling for transgender adolescents, and more.

Are you experiencing a heartbreak, trauma or painful loss? Did your plans for life suddenly and unexpectedly change? Are you navigating a setback and feeling overwhelmed or stuck? You’re not alone in this and I can help! Hello, I’m Andrea with Bold Living Counseling and I’m so glad you’re here! I'm passionate about boldly empowering you to live your best life in this season of life. I believe in infusing hope and focusing on the possibilities of positive change and transformation. Let's tap into your strengths and resilience to find a renewed expectancy for good things to happen.

I work especially with people who struggle with their intimate and social relationships, who suffer from anxiety, depression, grief and loss, self-harm, insomnia, chronic pain, or chronic illness, or with those who need more support, more positivity, help starting a career, or a better process of coping in their life due to a stressful moment or transition. I see clients of all ages, as well as couples and families.

I promote improvement in my client's quality of life related to moods, relationships & sense of purpose. I approach clients where they are in their lives, relationships & moods in a manner that is accepting and encouraging. I believe people are their own best resource for understanding their present state, how they have arrived there, & having resilience to heal & move toward their goals. When clients are very stuck in negative moods, behaviors & relational patterns, I help them engage these through mindfulness, emotionally-focused & trauma healing therapies, which are based on understanding natural processes of healing & growth.

My ideal client is someone that is ready to make the changes needed to achieve their therapeutic goals. The answers they need already exist inside of them.

I am a Colorado Licensed Clinical Psychologist. I currently work in private practice providing emotional health services to clients of all social backgrounds, ethnicities, gender orientations, religious/spiritual affiliations, and countries of origin.I most appreciate working with intelligent, highly motivated clients. In addition to clinical work, I enjoy teaching, giving presentations, conducting research, and completing assessments.

As a therapist I believe in creating a calm space that allows for processing and growth. This in addition to addressing any underlying barriers to one's full potential in a way that respects where a person is right in the moment. Also I strive for a space that is mindful of honoring social, cultural, economic and spiritual differences and likenesses that focus on growth.

I work in a general practice setting and have helped a wide variety of clients with a wide variety of issues. In addition, I volunteer as a Court Appointed Special Advocate for abused and neglected children and am certified as a Child and Family Investigator. Whether you are an individual, a couple, or a family needing assistance with problem issues, I would like to hear from you. Together we can find options to solve your problem issues and move you forward in your life.

While I am interested in working with a wide variety of individuals and issues, I have two main areas of expertise. First, I am passionate about working with young people searching for insight into difficult life circumstances. I have experience across the spectrum working with gifted children and adolescents, as well as justice-involved youth, LGBTQ individuals, and youth across cultures. I also provide intelligence and learning disability assessments.

I am a clear-headed, wide-awake listener. I create a safe environment where we can name your strengths, hear your worries, and learn what helps your heart feel happy, open, and flexible. I create the same in-depth invitation for couples and family members. With over 30 years counseling and educating adults, couples, families and groups, I believe in healing through laughter as well as tears, learning about all areas where we can find support and appreciation for you.

One of my favorite quotes from a movie is "if something gets in your way, turn." On the mountain top ready to ski down a "K12," and the best advice a friend gives is "turn." Changing your life's trajectory takes work, but when done effectively and efficiently you will see the path behind you in a different light and the path before you on new ground. As of April 2020, I am doing telehealth (video) appointments and will continue until notified that in-person, maskless, sessions are permitted. I have found that telehealth sessions are just as effective as in-person sessions.

You want to be loved and experience pleasure, but getting there can be difficult. Many of my clients find that a lot of areas in their relationships and life are going well, and that can make the stuck areas all the more frustrating. You might have found googling (as I like to call "WebMDing) or searching for solutions yourself only make things worse, feel more awkward or get you even more into your head. While you may feel like a failure, or broken, or like it's all your fault, you have only done your best with what you know, which is all we can do. And, that's where working with me comes in!

Are you tired, burned out, stressed all the time, lack motivation for the simplest things? If so, I can help. Together we can identify the patterns you have been stuck in that no longer work. My clients often come to me when they are at their wits end with their children, their parents, their partners and are looking for a way forward. I can coach and guide you with tools and skills to make better choices for your life so you can feel happy again. If you are struggling to set or hold limits with people, lets work together to improve this. If you are experiencing postpartum symptoms, lets talk so you can start to feel well again.

I work with people that want to understand themselves better and overcome whatever is stopping them from being their best. This could be addiction, anxiety, depression, trauma, or something that you haven't put a name to yet. Whatever it is, we will work together to gain a deeper insight into you and your unique story. We will develop healthy coping skills and tools, and process through hurts and wounds that are stopping you from living the life you want.

I have clients that come to therapy for a wide range of issues. Most often, client goals begin with relief from pain, sadness, guilt, shame, confusion, and often many other symptom(s) prior to the onset of seeking therapy. I have found that many clients who seek therapy are surprised to learn how past relates to present and how one can influence their future. I am passionate about keeping the therapeutic relationship collaborative and empathic and always striving to include hope and perseverance.

Are you struggling with depression, low self-esteem, or challenging life situations? Are you in the LGBTQ community and having trouble with relationships, family issues, or the coming out process? There are times that we all need support, direction, and someone to walk along side us. I can help you learn to not fear your unwanted emotions and instead to face them, and the situations in your life, head on. It takes a tremendous amount of courage to reach out for help. Contact me today and let's work together to fully understand where your pain is coming from.
