I have a background in mental health issues in the
elderly
population, too.
When stressed, those who've experienced trauma can have intensification of symptoms (sleep issues, isolation, crying, anxiety, sadness, hopelessness). This can be indicative of PTSD. Instead of "what's wrong with you?" let's ask "what happened to you?" Fortunately, there are evidenced-based treatments to help you heal from life's wounds. If you've been struggling, reach out to talk with me about your potential for healing. My work/training focuses on trauma work; I can create a unique treatment plan tailored for your walk towards wellness. A healthy life awaits you. Recover. Regain. Relive.

I am a licensed clinical social worker since 2010. I received my masters degree from Newman University in Colorado Springs. My personal difficulties taught me to be compassionate to myself and others. Asking questions instead of telling someone who they are is a tangible tool that leads to listening to our own truth instead of feeling okay only if someone else says we are. It can be difficult work, and the rewards are tremendous as we unwind the trauma to see the gifts hidden by the hurts. The journey from trauma to trust is a leap of faith. This is why I identify with the Phoenix as a way to come thru the ashes and move forward.

In this age of narcissism, many are feeling isolated and alienated from others, causing us to reassess relationships and personal choices. Many are disillusioned, anxious and depressed due to unwanted life experiences that threaten our sense of security and obstruct a path to happiness. Some are embracing their neurodiversity. Psychotherapy can enhance insight and create opportunity to build skills and re-new confidence needed to discover solutions to personal challenges. At Personal Path, we design services to help empower you to make authentic, self- directed changes that align with personal needs, values and aspirations.

In my thirty years of practicing clinical psychology, I have helped a significant number of individuals and families looking for relief and clarity from painful personal challenges in their relationships, or just with themselves. A singular mental health issue--whether it be depression, addiction, eating disorder or PTSD-ultimately affects and limits productive relationships with those around us. Recovery is possible. Using an eclectic form of psychodynamic, hypnosis and cognitive behavioral techniques, I work both individually and in a supportive group environment.

You have a unique story. Your LIFE has meaning. Your story shapes your thoughts, words, feelings and behaviors. If life isn't working out the way you'd hoped, is it time to challenge yourself? Learn to reshape your thoughts, refocus your words, experience new feelings and intentionally choose different behaviors . . . so you can rewrite the rest of your story. Anxiety, depression, divorce, blended families, trauma, PTSD, life transitions; sexual, physical and emotional abuse; sexual addiction, marriage enrichment, women's issues, grief and loss; military life, career changes, sending young adults into new beginnings . . . all can seem overwhelming.

I have always had a genuine interest in the uniqueness and well-being of others. I believe that we can all grow from the situations we have experienced. Whether that experience be divorce, abuse, addiction, or trauma of some sort. Our brains and bodies have a way of healing themselves through processing. Certain experiences can cause us to feel alone, anxious, sad, depressed, unmotivated, angry, violated, exposed, and at times emotionally unstable. Here in therapy I walk the journey with you as we work through emotions, gain insight, and create more beneficial perspectives. I provide a space of safety, understanding, and compassion.

David Stephens
Psychologist, PsyD
Hope.Relief.Freedom. Life has gotten progressively more difficult over the last few years. People of all ages are struggling with fatigue, discouragement, despair, and even hopelessness. All of these things result in poor performance in regulating emotions and navigating relationships, controlling behavior (especially for kids and teenagers), focusing your attention and concentration, jobs and careers, sports, academics, and daily life. Despite what you've heard, and maybe come to believe, you and your kids can put all those life "performance difficulties" behind you and thrive in a way you perhaps have never imagined.
