Teen Therapists in Lodo, Denver, CO

Do you feel overwhelmed by stress and have difficulty controlling anxious or negative thoughts? Do you find that you put everyone else's needs before your own and feel burnt out trying to be perfect? I can help you manage symptoms that might be disrupting your life, uncover the root causes of anxiety and depression, and take back control of your thoughts and emotions. I specialize in working with adolescent girls and women around issues including anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, sexual assault, self-esteem, body image, grief, life transitions, and boundaries.

Hey there, I'm Elena, a queer, sex-positive therapist specializing in working with LGBTQIA+ and non-monogamous clients. At Arcana Counseling, I welcome adolescent (age 12+) and adult individuals and relationship configurations of all kinds. Whether you're struggling with mental health or relationship issues, moving through a difficult life transition, seeking coping or communication skills, or continuing on your journey of self-discovery, you don't have to do it alone. Wherever you are on your path, I will meet you there and support you every step of the way as we work collaboratively toward your goals.

My practice is limited to assessment and evaluation, primarily with clients involved in the legal system for some reason. Adolescent age youth and adults are the specialty age groups, in part because adolescents and young adults tend to be involved with the legal system in criminal matters more frequently. My background includes clinical work with adolescents in the Denver Metro area and throughout Colorado. It also includes administrative and clinical work with forensically involved adults. Parents facing termination of parental rights and parents disputing custody structure make up the remainder of my focus and experience.

Do you live with that constant, seemingly hopeless battle against an inner monster or dark shadows of the past? It’s so hard to get out of bed each morning because it feels like nothing will get better. Those overwhelming, and sometimes scary, thoughts or memories that run through your head leave you feeling sad, worried, or lost. They cause difficulty in your closest relationships because it feels like no one understands what you're going through. Sometimes these experiences may come up and you find tears in your eyes, your heart starts to pound, or your body begins to shake.

You’re tired of always feeling like you’re supposed to be perfect - maybe you gave up on that a long time ago and now feel like a disappointment, maybe you’re constantly exhausted trying to meet everyone else’s expectations and you’re wondering when you get to meet your own. You’re overwhelmed and don’t know how to do it on your own anymore. You’re ready to figure out who YOU want to be, how YOU want to live, and how to set those boundaries with everyone in your life. You’re ready to feel the joy in life and know that you can weather any storm.

Sometimes being who you are is stressful. Queer folks have a lot weighing on them these days. It can be difficult to find the firm ground you need. So here you are, taking the first step. Whether it’s you or your teen , our work together will focus on healing, and finding joy among the chaos. Choosing to change and no longer choosing to stay the same is such an important step. Maybe you are uncertain of where to go next. I hear that. Therapy offers a space for you to talk about how and where you want your life to go.

Hello! Are you feeling stuck, depressed, or anxious and seeking guidance? I am here to help you process your experiences, understand your relationships, and develop a positive sense of self. I will meet you where you are at and provide unconditional support and acceptance.

I am a counseling and sport psychologist, meaning I was trained as a general psychologist and thus can work with individuals with a variety of mental health needs. I also specialize in working with athletes and athletics personnel on both mental health and performance concerns. I can work with individuals, teams, coaches, in both individual/group formats.

Have you ever felt like you’ve experienced things in your life that make you feel alone, as if others can’t possibly understand? Have you been overwhelmed by your trauma to the point it has severely impacted your mental health – specifically depression and anxiety? Your choices and behaviors are all deep-rooted in issues of the past? Do you just need a better way to cope? If you struggle with any of the above questions, I may be a perfect match for you.

I'm passionate about bringing a sense of meaning and satisfaction into peoples lives. That is why I became a counselor and opened my private practice. I've been blessed to watch people change their minds and change their lives. I have seen clients change and grow, overcome challenges and find genuine happiness and satisfaction in their lives. I believe in living your best life through healing and wholeness. I am here to support you in moving beyond trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, stress and becoming the amazing person you are meant to be!

Throughout my time as a professional, I have grown to understand the vitalness surrounding connecting childhood learnings and patterns to problems currently arising within the client’s world. I believe we can't change our current problems if we don't know what is driving the behavior or thought process to begin with. Starting at the source and establishing patterns and connections is vital in healing, growing, and creating new behavior and thinking. I often utilize DBT, CBT, attachment theory, and family systems models within the therapy space. Let's talk about your childhood!

I specialize in working with adolescents, young adults, and their families. I’m here to empower you in increasing self-awareness, improving your ability to truly feel and release emotions, and learning how to attune to both yourself and others. I meet each person with an open and nonjudgmental presence while blending together different modalities including emotionally focused therapy (EFT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and the brain-body relational therapy of brainspotting (BSP). I integrate the approaches that best fit the needs of the person(s) in front of me.

All Services available online via video conferencing! I specialize in working with individuals struggling with weight loss and weight management. I provide an alternative strategy to weight loss based on cognitive therapy that allows people to change their life and their relationship with food, instead of just dieting.

Welcome! My approach to therapy is collaborative and relational. I work to support clients in developing an increasingly complex and embodied understanding of themselves in the context of the relationships and systems that they interact with. Through our work together, clients can expect to uncover habitual patterns of behavior that interfere with living the life they want, and over time to experience an increased sense of choice and flexibility in their actions. I aim to support individuals in developing a greater sense of comfort with themselves, and an increased ability to cope with the inevitable challenges that life offers.

Do you "have it all together" on the outside, but on the inside, feel like you are falling apart? Perhaps you find yourself looking ahead to the next milestone or achievement–graduating college, landing a high-paying job, getting married–thinking it will bring you happiness…only to be let down when you get there and it still feels like something is missing. You are not alone. I specialize in working with driven, highly-motivated emerging adults who are struggling with anxiety, perfectionism, and self-doubt.
