Therapists in Broomfield, CO

Are you struggling with the unexpected twists and turns of life? Need a quiet place to talk things over? It is not always easy to seek therapy but it shows that you want to make a change and grow. We can work together to figure out what is standing in your way of being your best self. There is tremendous value in talking and exploring what is and is not working in your life. It is often the first step towards feeling better and will help you feel more in control of your path. I look forward to hearing your story and helping you get to a place where you feel more confident and grounded.

On the outside, you look super successful, likely the poster child for how things “ought to be”. You went to a good school, have a rewarding career and maybe got married and had some amazing kids. You have done what you expected would make you FEEL accomplished, grateful, and happy. Except that you don’t. Lately, coloring inside the lines isn’t giving you the same ‘HIT’ it used to. Instead, you are wondering “Whose rules are these anyway and why do I need to keep following them?” The gap between what is expected and how you truly feel inside keeps growing wider. You're tired- and feeling alone, disillusioned, and conned.

Anxiety, insecurity, anger, and depression get in the way of success and even more than that- they get in the way of you being happy with yourself and your life. Freeing yourself of these issues gives you the opportunity to experience life in a new way that improves your life, relationships, and your performance at work/school. Therapy can help you with these issues and you can begin to enjoy life again.

By now you may feel like you've tried everything. Perhaps your home has become a battleground, filled with fights that repeat over and over without any progress. Maybe you feel like you have hit a wall with your partner and aren’t sure how to move forward, or maybe you feel stuck, watching from the sidelines as your child navigates the many challenges of adolescence. Taking action can help resolve these feelings of helplessness and taking the initiative to seek treatment is the first step forward. If you or your child is struggling to live a fulfilling life—or even struggling to make it through the day—it’s time to seek help.

We follow many paths in life in a continuous flow, yet if we hit a log jam it can be impossible to move at all. Activities of daily life become stressful, relationships tense, work, too hard. Our inner critic quickly points out flaws, and we can begin to doubt our abilities. Anxiety and depression, stop us. Then illness or pain start to come, and pushing beyond our limits leads to emotional despair or “chronic” health issues. Eventually we wonder how we got here, and how or if, we can get back to our flow, yet we don’t know where to begin. If this is you, don’t give up, or give in.

Finding a therapist can feel daunting and overwhelming—it's such an important choice! That's why I do my best to create an experience for my clients that is warm, welcoming, authentic, and trusting. Part of why I decided to become a therapist is because of how important I believe our relationships are to our well-being. While relationships can sometimes be sources of immense distress, pain, confusion, and loneliness, I also believe that when they are healthy and safe, they have the ability to soothe, comfort, and generate powerful change.

As a multicultural woman, I not only have personal experience with historical trauma, intergenerational trauma, and women's issues, I also specialize in grief and loss, sexual assault/violence, suicidality, relationship issues, transitional difficulties, depression, anxiety, identity formation, and more. With experience serving ages 12-adult, I aim to create a safe space to explore an array of different obstacles within the human experience to leave my clients feeling empowered and heard. My clients come to me looking for reprieve from mental aguish, and in true acceptance of the self, we venture there together.

Are you experiencing anxiety and/or other symptoms from a trauma or change in life circumstance? Perhaps you’re a new Mom or are adding another kiddo to your family. I have spent the past 9 years counseling; I have also supervised other counselors in training and I teach / use both trauma-focused cognitive behavior therapy and solution-focused brief therapy, to help get to the heart of the issue and make lasting change, efficiently. I also recently have been trained in EMDR. I will listen without judgement and create a safe space where you can openly share and develop trust, and we will work collaboratively to set goals together.

Are you struggling with navigating a complex or “toxic” relationship? Despite advice to leave, you feel unable to make a decision? Through exploring past family patterns and attachment styles we’ll illuminate the barriers blocking your relationship growth. I equip clients with new communication tools, incorporating Nonviolent Communication (NVC) and help clients tune into their own inner voice (using Somatic mind/body work). We experientially practice these skills together in a safe, nonjudgmental environment. Additionally, I am an experienced career counselor and guide clients through career transitions and finding fulfillment.

Hi, I'm Gina Gardner-Wood, LCSW. I am the practice owner of Hope and Healing Therapy. Many of us experience feelings of anxiety, depression and hopelessness, as well as triggers surrounding a traumatic event or history of trauma. You don't have to suffer alone! As a trained trauma therapist, I utilize Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, which is an extensively researched, extremely effective psychotherapy method proven to help people recover from trauma and other distressing events.

Is Addiction hurting you or your loved ones? Struggling with anxiety, depression, procrastination, conflict? Or do you just need to feel listened to? I've been in the Addiction and Mental Health field for over 15 years. I'm a Licensed Addiction Counselor, Mental Health specialist, Victim Advocate/Victim Services Provider, specializing in trauma and recovery from abuse and violence, and Behavioral Health for individuals and couples/families.

My approach to therapy is primarily Cognitive Behavioral. Strong evidence supports the effectiveness of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for helping individuals with a wide range of problems, including Depression, Anxiety and ADHD. I also incorporate the use of other therapeutic approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment, Relational, Interpersonal and Psychodynamic Therapy. My initial goal is to create a safe therapeutic environment. I work with clients to reach an agreement on the goals. As therapy proceeds, we will evaluate progress toward those goals and work together to make therapy as effective for you as possible.

Is Addiction owning your life? Struggling with chaos, anger, and drama? Or do you just need to get unstuck? If you want to get to the truth, if you are ready to rip away the security blanket, I will help you get to your true self and learn to accept your flaws and adjust your lifestyle. Everyone deserves the chance to live a successful life. I have a Bachelor's and Master's in Psychology and Clinical Counseling from Regis University. I'm a Certified Addiction Specialist (CAC III) since 2000 and in the addiction field for over 22 years, working in the most intensive of environments. If you are ready, I can help. No more excuses.

Our approach utilizes the biopsychosocial approach to evaluation and treatment; this means we strive to understand the biological, psychological, and social factors that influence the health and wellness of our clients. Our services are often referred to as "behavioral medicine" or "medical psychology;" this is due to taking a holistic approach in our treatment considering the whole person - physical, mental, emotional, and social. We often work collaboratively with other professions such as primary care physicians, occupational therapists, social workers, chaplains, and others who are important to one's individual network of care.

“My anxiety and depression are at an all time high.” “School, friends, and relationships all feel out of control and I need someone to talk to.” “I cannot believe I relapsed again...” “My inner struggles are affecting my ability to live my life to the fullest.” If any of these thoughts resonate with you, know that you're not alone. I'm here to offer support and guidance on your journey toward healing and growth.

I welcome you to a safe and nurturing space to embark on your therapeutic journey at your own pace. With a profound passion for facilitating transformative healing and mental health, I collaborate with clients to identify and move through the unique challenges that prohibit them from living their fullest, most authentic lives. I firmly believe healing is not a one-size-fits-all process. With a diverse skill set, and wide array of therapeutic modalities, sessions are tailored to meet the unique needs of each client who walks through my door.

"The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I change." (Carl Rogers) I am interested in blending the evidenced-based practices of Western psychotherapy with the wisdom and compassion of Eastern psychology. No matter the issue at hand, therapy first aims at bringing more openness, clarity, and non-judgement to the parts of ourselves that cause fear and trepidation. When we shine light into our shadow, we often find deeper meaning and understanding of ourselves and the world around us. From this space of fearlessness, we can begin to do the work to heal and make profound change in our life.
