Adoption Therapists in Park Hill, Denver, CO

I have been in practice for over 30 years. I specialize in working with adolescent females, and LGBTQIA-identified clients and their families who are often times involved in the juvenile justice system and child welfare. I also work with female and LGBTQIA military personnel and veterans. Working with these systems has afforded me the opportunity to build my skills so that I am very proficient in many areas, such as trauma and PTSD, adoption, permanency, military personnel, and addiction concerns. I work from a strength-based, solution-focused perspective and utilize cognitive behavioral therapy and experiential treatment models.

As we journey through this path call life, we experience a lot. We deal with some good things and some not-so-good things. It is those things we experience where we come away with scars, scrapes, and bruises (physically and emotionally). Oftentimes we wish those things had not happened and we wonder how do we get through them. Those are the things that will bring you to TJ’S Healing Space: A Space to Heal. It will be a place you can come to work on those issues of life. You will be supported in your journey to heal in the areas you desire."Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced".JB

My passion has always been to help people, in multiple capacities. I allow a safe space for people to vent, process and work through a variety of life struggles. I specialize in trauma informed care, strength-based therapy and CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy). I have extensive experience working with foster youth, LGBTQ youth and underprivileged communities. Reaching out for help can be scary, but the road to healing is not far away.

Are you ready to take control over your life and embark on the journey of getting to know the deeper depths of who you are? Are you currently having challenging behaviors with your child? Is your child currently having a hard time with peer relationships and emotional regulation? Are you tired of living in the past while craving freedom in the present moment of past traumas? I support and empower people to make the changes they want to see by encouraging insight and awareness of where these challenges came from and how they can take control and change their own life.

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.

I help people overcome anxiety, trauma, and depression. Individuals, and families are welcome. I am passionate about working with diverse clientele, especially people who suffer from traumatic childhoods. I use EMDR, Somatic therapy, talk therapy, and CBT for your unique situation.

The concept of "I will be worthy when..." is a common narrative that many individuals hold. Trauma has a way of distorting our perception of self-worth, making us believe that accomplishing specific goals or fulfilling certain expectations will validate our worth. However, this perception often leads to a trade-off, where we compromise our authenticity for a validation that may not bring the fulfillment we seek. Recovering from trauma involves a gradual process where we address essential interpersonal skills that are not given qualities but need to be learned and nurtured.

Grounded in empathy, curiosity, and a deep belief in the capacity for change and growth, I am dedicated to supporting individuals, couples, and families build stronger and more fulfilling relationships, heal from attachment wounds, process traumatic experiences, and foster emotional well-being. If you are facing relationship challenges and communication breakdowns, struggling to cope with stress, anxiety, and depression, having difficulty with self-compassion, navigating cultural identity issues, experiencing harm due to systemic injustices, and/or looking to gain a deeper understanding of yourself, I am here to support you.

I believe children and families should dream, thrive, and grow together. I promote child well-being through practical and evidence-based interventions to help children and families with big feelings and big behaviors. My services include individual and family approaches to treat anxiety, depression, childhood behavior problems, attention problems/ADHD, trauma, and emotions/behaviors related to acquired brain injury. My interventions aim to enhance your child's and family's strengths while providing sustainable solutions to improve quality of life. I look forward to meeting you.

Is pain from your past or worries about the future making it hard to enjoy the present? Do you want to have more fulfilling relationships with others? Hi I’m Meg, and I am excited you found my page. Your story matters; let me help you rediscover and accept all the parts of what makes you, you.

I've been working with individuals and families in therapy for the past 26 years, and I provide a relaxed, non-judgemental, collaborative and supportive environment to explore your concerns. I enjoy helping and supporting children, adolescents, adults and caregivers to navigate the social and emotional challenges of today's world and to gain the necessary tools to better cope and manage the difficulties that they may be experiencing in their lives. I use a strength based, client centered approach in working with clients and a collaborative, psychodynamic framework that is focused on your specific needs.

I have provided counseling services in Denver since completing graduate school in 1999. I worked in both pediatric and adult medical settings, including hematology/oncology, emergency trauma and hospice. For 8 years, I worked at a school and community based medical clinic providing psychotherapy to all ages. I have also enjoyed private practice over the years. In each setting I work, including private practice, my therapeutic modality varies, but I always come from a strengths based/empowerment approach. I love somatic (mind/body) based work, as I am also a yoga teacher.

Watch how a person builds a sandcastle, a philosopher once said. The first person will proceed hesitantly, fretting about the inevitable return of the waves. The second person won't even start: why bother, the tide will only destroy it. The third person embraces the unavoidable and throws themself into the work regardless, joyful but not oblivious. We often feel like all three people at once, leaving us confused and stuck. The aim of my work is emotional intelligence, which is the capacity to reconcile the contradictions inside ourselves in order to become more vital, creative, flexible, and accepting of our self.

I am in Commerce City, but thanks to technology, you don't have to be. (Email is best for most efficient replies.) And yes I take Medicaid! You are here looking for a therapist with experience, warmth and guidance. Life has been stressful and perhaps your support systems haven't been all that supportive lately. I can help get you through this, improve your communication, coping and parenting skills. Therapy is an amazing way to set and achieve goals, process pain - new and old, and improve your life overall.
