Men's Issues Therapists in Broomfield, CO

I'd like to offer you a warm welcome to my practice, Unstuck Therapy. I know that life's challenges can often get in our way causing us to get stuck in our relationships, our jobs, our choices, and even our own heads. However, I also know that each of us has the ability to live a fulfilling and meaningful life. I have had the privilege of helping people find joy and contentment and I am happy to provide you with the tools that can help you get unstuck!

I support clients using experiential and somatic approaches to mobilize root emotional content that cannot be accessed or moved through traditional talk therapy. I have substantial experience in working with trauma, grief, and depression. I work with men's issues and facilitate workshops and retreats. I have also worked as a therapist in addiction treatment and recovery. I began working in the field of therapy and counseling in 2006 as a Wilderness Therapy guide for teens and young adults doing intensive healing and transformation work in a group setting.

The ideal client for my practice is someone who is invested in helping themselves get better, but finds their self stuck and in need a new approach. Often times, I refer this as "wanting to want to get better." This is when we have lost momentum in motivation, but still hold on to the idea that if something comes along that would work, the individual would engage it. I believe in partnering with the client to develop a plan that works for THEM. We always begin with the end in mind; determining what success means for the client and measuring out when counseling will be complete.

Let’s admit it, life is hard, and with these difficulties come suffering. Seeking counseling for this suffering is sometimes a very scary and difficult endeavor. I admire your bravery in seeking help, and pride myself on providing a non-judgmental, accepting, and comfortable space to explore and work on these struggles together. I approach therapy through a person-centered approach. This simply means- therapy is for you. We will work together on exploring what you want out of therapy, what you need each session, and what is and isn’t working for you.

Do you or someone in your family struggle to communicate? Have you found that there has been withdrawing and isolating in the home? Does there seem to be a wall when it comes to understanding yourself or someone else? It can be so difficult to get on the same page and begin the healing process in these types of situations. I specialize in working with individuals and couples, and I am passionate about coming alongside of people as they seek to find healing, satisfaction, and meaning in life and their relationships.

I have practicing in the mental health fields since 1995. I have been a licensed professional counselor since 2007. I have been practicing in private practice since 2012. I will give you my professional guidance, wisdom, insight and understanding of mental health issues. I will provide a sacred, unconditional and comfortable space. I will assist in being a guide through your struggles and journeys in this life. As a client, You will explore your life with me and may learn that there is more to your life than your current understanding, struggles, experiences, beliefs, views, ideas of yourself and masks that you wear.

Lost? Struggling? Hurt? Counseling isn't about losing and admitting defeat; its about gaining new directions and renewed strength. I help men and women who are stuck and ready to move onward. I don't judge or condemn your past decisions; I help you create new and healthy actions. Counseling is a place where you get the support you need to make sense of the chaos that has been going on so that you can see the direction to where you want your life to go!

Finding a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist. Many sex addicts and their partners say they have been to therapy, but it has not been helpful….until they have begun therapy with a CSAT(Certified Sex Addiction Therapist) trained therapist. Founded by  Dr. Patrick Carnes, the CSAT® program was developed after years of extensive experience and research in the field of addiction therapy now an industry standard in addiction. The dynamics of behavioral, or process, addictions are complex; so much so that mental health professionals must take an entirely different approach to even begin the process of understanding addiction and recovery.

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.

Life is difficult and, yes there is hope. Perhaps you have tried different approaches to find what you're looking for and yet nothing seems to have helped fill in that "gap" or that something that missing in your heart. I invite you to follow that thread; what in your heart that feels stuck? Consider even what comes up for you as I ask you that question? That internal struggle is good, it shows you're asking good questions and that you deep down know there's something more to be found.

It's time to make a lasting change, to get real and heal. Your life is too important. I help individuals unravel the complex stories of their lives. Life is full of twists and turns that pull us from our center, creating overwhelm and distress. Limiting beliefs picked up from childhood color our responses to loved ones and ourselves. We engage in behaviors that are disconnected from the person we really want to be. This feels awful.

My clients are often looking for something beyond skills, strategies and a diagnosis. I work best with people who are looking to really sort out what's going on in their lives, and who are interested in potent and lasting change. I also work specifically with people who are increasingly concerned about environmental issues or experience climate anxiety, grief or other feelings associated with environmental issues. As an avid outdoorsman and a Cross Country Ski instructor on weekends, I also frequently work with individuals from the climbing, skiing, mountaineering and other outdoor recreation communities.

Each stage of life presents us with its own distinct set of challenges and obstacles. I believe that when we learn how to properly direct our energies to meet and then overcome these challenges in our own unique way, we develop and mature towards greater well-being, growth, wholeness, and the freedom to be who we are. Sometimes it can feel too overwhelming, confusing, or painful to undertake such trials alone. Fortunately, it doesn’t have to be that way. Seeking support is an act of courage and the first step towards creating the life you deserve.

I help children, adolescents, and adults overcome challenges and traumatic events that shape their development, self esteem, and interpersonal relationships. I utilize a psychodynamic, client centered treatment approach to address each individual's educational, occupational and interpersonal goals. My specialties include child and adolescent development, couple's communication and parenting, separation and divorce, and the treatment of complex trauma.

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.

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.

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.

I have spent the last 28 years working with children, adolescents, adults, and couples cultivating a treatment approach that aides in creating quick, long lasting, permanent change. This has led me down a path of studying the neurobiology of the brain and using treatment methods including Brainspotting, Mindfulness, Psycho-Neuro-Immunology and the Neuro-Psychology of the brain. I teach both nationally and internationally on these treatment interventions. Ask about my intensives.
