Therapists in Denver County, CO

Welcome! I’m glad you’ve decided to reach out for counseling, as I know it can often be a difficult step to take. I look forward to getting to know you as you explore what brought you here. I have over 20 years of experience in the mental health field working with individuals of all age ranges. I enjoy working with individuals and couples and utilize a person-centered approach, where I meet each individual where they are at on their journey towards wellness. I believe in the mind-body connection and the importance of using a holistic approach to building resilience and meeting life’s challenges.

I specialize in trauma, depression, anxiety, and addictions. I'm a real human, and I'll treat you like one. You'll probably cry a bit, laugh a bit more, and feel heard and understood along the way. You'll leave therapy more equipped to manage the crap life can throw at you, and you'll be better able to enjoy your life.

Hello! My name is Kaela. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate in Colorado with 3 years of experience working with adults. Additionally, I received my master’s degree in mental health counseling. This has given me a wealth of knowledge on how to provide supportive and individualized treatment to support individuals. I have a passion for working with clients who identify as BIPOC and have military backgrounds, as well as clients who are experiencing grief, struggles with their moods, or coping with trauma.

I enjoy working with individuals struggling with anxiety, perinatal/postpartum issues, trauma, life transitions, and emerging adults. I also specialize in treating female veterans who have experienced sexual trauma while serving in the military. I love working with individuals who are motivated to work toward a healthier and more fulfilling life. I believe in a collaborative approach that helps you build up positives rather than focusing just on negatives. I work hard to connect with my clients and help them know they don’t have to go through hardships alone.

If you've ever felt like the systems we live in have sapped you of your joy and vitality, you're in good company. Many of us suffer, undeservedly, because our economic, political, and social conditions are out of alignment with basic human wellbeing. In my counseling practice, I seek to help clients reconnect with their intrinsic sense of wellbeing that has been obscured or stolen by these conditions.

You're not sure when it started or why, but something feels off. You feel the pressure building as you try to balance the things that take your time and energy in life. You want to feel lively, humorous, joyful, and light, but it doesn't feel available to you. Maybe you've learned to approach life with grit and determination, appearing confident and self-sufficient on the outside, but feeling unfulfilled, unsupported, and disconnected in the inside.

I'm passionate about walking alongside people who have a sense that, "Maybe, just maybe, it doesn't have to always be this way." Whether it's feeling stuck in the same relational dynamics, holding beliefs and ideas about yourself, others, and the world that no longer seem helpful, or wanting to figure out what it might look like to be a more healthy, whole, and honest person---many of us often have a desire for life to look different, but we might not be sure how to get there. I view therapy as a process that can help us discover more about where we've been, who we are becoming, and how we want to live.

My approach is to help people recover from anxiety, trauma, PTSD, depression, grief and loss, eating disorders, adoption issues, perfectionism, difficult family relationship dynamics and feeling "not enough" no matter how hard you try. I know that taking the first step is big, and you've probably already been working really hard to manage things yourself. Let's work together in a productive way and get your life going in the direction that you want. Contact me for a free 15 minute consultation to discuss what you need.

I work collaboratively with people to help them create the lives they want -- in their relationships, families, recreation and work. This process of exploration and discovery is inspiring and taps into hopes, dreams and imagination through story and re-connecting and remembering memories and experiences of connection and joy in their lives. Clients who benefit most from working with me are usually bright, creative and interested in freeing themselves from the constraints of family, social and cultural expectations that have become internalized and held as truths. This is a way of finding your way home ... to where your heart is.

Hello and welcome! You have found a good fit if you are looking to learn new and effective ways to manage anxiety, stress and overwhelm, if you are a parent who has discovered that you need extra support to parent the way you desire and/or if you feel that issues from your past are preventing you from living the life you want. Additionally, you may be looking to work on better communication with beloved people in your life and/or have a highly sensitive personality, also known as sensory processing sensitivity. I am absolutely passionate about these areas and have fine-tuned my skills to support those with these needs.

There are times in life when one needs backup. Do not "go-it-alone" when it comes to life's challenges, but let me assist you on your path. The only constant in life is change and they come with personal, relational, and professional adjustments. Navigating the changes can be smoother with a trained professional behind you. We all have blind spots, even in the things we are best at doing. So trained perspective can help us discover them and tap into our inner wisdom to make our own decisions.

My approach to therapy allows clients the emotional space to examine situations without identifying as the problem themselves. It creates key exploratory distance between self and guilt or shame allowing for curiosity rather than judgment. I strive to elicit an experience that is empowering and illuminating. This is useful if you are seeking resources as a member of a couple or family where fear of blame is a common threat. The parents of my adolescent and young adult clients are relieved to work with someone who sees their unique loved one rather than diagnostics or labels.

I have been in general practice for 25 years plus with a speciality in alcohol/ drug counseling and interventions. I conduct a 6 week co-dependency education and therapy program for family members and friends of drug addicts.Other therapy issues that i can treat are; depression, anxiety disorders, grief and loss, self esteem, parenting issues, post tramatic stress disorder, gay and lesbian issues and career issues. I accept most major insurance carriers as well as self pays. I treat individuals, couples, children/adolescents and families.

We all have unique experiences that shape our perspectives. I believe that through self-awareness and vulnerability, we can all grow to become more resilient and confident individuals. As a licensed clinical therapist, I will guide you through the therapeutic process and empower you with the skills to feel more in control in your life. I’ll help you build a toolbox of coping strategies to find what works best for you. I have a client-centered, collaborative style that draws techniques from a variety of therapy modalities including (but not limited to): CBT, Psychodynamic, DBT, Solution-focused, Strength-based, and Play Therapy.

As a sports counselor and former athlete, I specialize in improving mental health and providing emotional support for athletes as well as addressing the challenges of life and how they are connected to hardships related to sport. You might be navigating the difficulties of youth sport, balancing life as a collegiate or high school student-athlete, or facing the unique trials of an olympian or professional athlete. I’m here to help process your story while working with you through the many challenges that life and athletics has in store.

Have you experienced trauma or a series of stressful events? Are you so anxious you struggle to enjoy your life? Do you startle or cry easily? Do you wonder who you really are because you are so burned out? Has your sleep changed for the worse? Do you have upsetting nightmares? You’re starting to think you might need to talk to someone. You wonder if life can be better and you wonder where to start.

Great therapy results stem from a strong, trusting connection with an experienced therapist. I have been treating children, families, couples, and individual adults in my therapy practice for 25 years. I have developed a practice that focuses on a person's strengths, bringing awareness to life and family history, its influences, and the coping skills used then and now. If you want support finding answers in a confidential, constructive, and balanced approach, I am here for that.

I work with adolescents and adults around issues of trauma (EMDR), anxiety, gender identity, chronic illness and depression. I think of therapy as training for your brain. With me, you will have the chance to talk it out, learn about your brain, develop new tools, and build new behaviors and beliefs. My goal is to create a safe, judgment-free environment for you to grow.

Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, anxious, and unsure of yourself? Are you trying to gain your footing after a recent life transition? Are you curious about how your past is influencing your present? Is your inner critic in overdrive during this season of life, telling you to "stop being so sensitive!" This is where I come in! You don't have to do this alone.
