Therapists in Denver, CO

I am a founding partner of Cognitive Behavior Therapy Associates of Denver (CBT Denver), which is dedicated to providing cutting edge treatments for mood and anxiety disorders. I practice evidence-based treatments including cognitive-behavior therapy, mindfulness-based therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, EMDR, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I am passionate about helping people with depression and anxiety and have many years of experience, including teaching and supervising others in the field. I provide compassionate treatment of the highest quality with a warm and engaging approach. I have extensive experience with panic, post-traumatic stress, social anxiety, insomnia, relationship problems, and depressive disorders.

Existential confusion, feelings of dread, unconscious repetition of patterns, angst, ennui, despair. Ideally, you're interested in generating a sense of inner stability, a beachhead of calm in the middle of the chaos that the mind can produce when unbalanced and disconnected from its harmony and natural balance.

Hello! My name is Maureen Costello and I am so glad you have taken the first (& sometimes the most difficult) step by searching for support. I graduated from CU Denver with a Masters degrees in Counseling Psychology. In our work, I believe you are the expert of your own experience. I hope to support you in identifying and achieving therapeutic goals for short or long term therapy. I offer a virtual therapeutic space where people you can access individual therapy from the comfort of your own home.

Life can be difficult at times. Every so often people need a safe environment to express their worries and frustrations. I enjoy working with adults and young adults to help alleviate anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. I see a client's full potential and hold onto that vision for them until they can begin to see it for themselves. I will challenge you in various ways to help increase your self-esteem and view yourself in a more positive light.

I can help you with depression and anxiety and relationship difficulties. I work to help people move forward when they feel stuck in unhealthy patterns of feelings and behaviors. My belief is that we all have within us the capacity to flourish if the obstacles to doing that are identified and removed. I like to work with people who are committed to their healing and prepared to risk changing in order to thrive. I have experience helping clients heal from childhood trauma, from grief and loss of all kinds, from constant worry, and from persistent negative ideas about themselves. My approach is collaborative and interactive.

Accepting New Clients! My primary focus is working with young adults who are struggling with the challenges of emerging into adulthood while also battling depression, anxiety, mood instability, and other such symptomology. However, I also work with all ages of adults. My approach is to assist clients with developing insight into themselves and their surroundings while increasing coping and life skills through Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) & Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which decrease these symptoms and increase quality of life.

I work with couples and individuals who are struggling to overcome habitual patterns of behavior that are preventing them from experiencing a satisfying connection with each other and themselves. If you and your partner have experienced betrayal, addiction issues or have simply allowed your relationship to become stagnant, I can help you find your way back to a secure and fulfilling bond. I use a blend of therapeutic techniques including Brainspotting to help you first understand and then have a new experience of yourself and your partner.

I have felt the hardships of relationships, the struggles of marriage, and know the building and maintaining of a family can be overwhelming at times. I provide a safe space to explore and process those feelings. Life is messy, and what you bring in is what we work with. Being a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I have the skills and training to support you and your loved ones. Working with me, you will find freedom from trapped thoughts, experiences, and beliefs about yourself. I love planting seeds of hope, assisting in learning, and witnessing clients find empowerment.

I specialize in working with adults and adolescents who struggle with body image distress, disordered eating, and substance abuse/misuse. Individuals who suffer from disordered eating and addiction tend to also experience high levels of shame, self-criticism, perfectionism, anxiety, depression, and history of trauma which all perpetuate the illness. Addiction and eating disorders are not disorders of lacking control, but disorders of unmet needs.

I believe that counseling is a journey that allows you, often for the first time, the opportunity to be fully seen. It is through this safe relationship that you can reveal your entire self, including the parts of you that hold the most shame. This brave dive into the deep, painful parts of yourself can allow you to gain compassion for your own humanness and begin to heal.

If you feel stuck or alone in your experience or relationship, I will listen, learn, and truly be there with you. I am a white, Queer, and gender fluid trauma and relationship therapist and veteran that is passionate about celebrating, affirming, and supporting the 2SLGBTQ+ community. I believe that our relationship in therapy provides a unique, powerful setting to experience emotions, connect to the body, share and reauthor stories, and explore the path of healing within us and within our relationships.

Is worry, sadness, low energy, or feeling bad about yourself getting in the way of having the life you want? Do distressing experiences from your past affect your current relationships, job, or happiness? Have you been in therapy before but didn't end up feeling better? You don't need to suffer alone with these problems. I can help.

I often hear parents say things such as “I love my child but I’m not enjoying being around them anymore” or “I can’t get any alone time because my child always needs to be with me”. Do you ever wish there was a manual for parenting? Have you tried everything but nothing seems to work to manage their behavior or anxiety? Does your child have a chronic health condition that is becoming overwhelming to manage? Maybe parenting is confusing and no longer feels fulfilling. You’re in the right place. You’ve already taken a step toward feeling confident in parenting and managing the challenges of life.

I enjoy working with clients who wish to take an active part in their journey towards healing. My goal is to develop a safe, therapeutic environment so that you can feel most comfortable to engage in your treatment. While symptom reduction is often a primary concern, collaboratively, we will work to regain your agency and help you to live the life you want to live. I treat a variety of mental health issues and focus on tailoring treatment based on the specific needs that you have. I coordinate your care with your medical providers to leverage the work we do to promote your overall wellness.

I am a child therapist at Anxiety Solutions of Denver specializing in the treatment of anxiety disorders and OCD. Most of the children and families I come into contact with have found the lack of available anxiety and OCD specialists discouraging. To add to their frustration, the lack of anxiety and OCD specialists who specifically work with children is even more apparent. I not only find a sense of fulfillment in providing effective treatment to those in need, but also feel lucky to be able to facilitate optimism and security with my clients in knowing they are in competent hands.

There are times in all of our lives that we need someone to talk to. Counseling can be a powerful resource in dealing with past hurts, trauma's, processing important life decisions, relationships and so much more. No matter what it is, you deserve to have someone walk with you in the journey of life. It is my belief that we are made up of mind, body and spirit and that we all desire to move towards being the best version of ourselves.
