Allison Cohan
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW

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.

In my work as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), I specialize in providing therapeutic services to children ages 3-12,
teen
girls, and young adult women ages 18-30. I enjoy guiding clients in an opportunity to heal from pain, experience improved well-being and relationships, discover an inner peace and calm, optimize growth and development at school, work and home, or just feel more like themselves. I have experience and training in utilizing therapeutic tools uniquely within each age range to age-appropriately access growth and change.

Transitions are hard, whether they are expected or not. From child to
adolescent
/
teen
, high school to college, and from college to “adulthood.” Many transitions brings about changes in mood and feelings, as well as changes in the family dynamic. Whether you are a parent struggling to communicate better with your child/
teen
, an older child/
teen
trying to navigate your burgeoning independence, or an emerging adult who is confused and overwhelmed by life, my hope is to provide a space to gain clarity, peace, and a sense of relief.

Let's face it. Adolescence and young adulthood looks far different than it did for previous generations!! There are more resources,education and training involved in getting one's driver's license than there are readily available to navigate the difficult and complex challenges that plague today's millennial. That's where I come in. Deep down, I know that what you need is to feel understood, truly listened to, and appreciated. I am passionate about helping you or your
teen
express and appreciate themselves authentically, from a holistic viewpoint with plenty of easy-to-use tools to get on a more sustainable and fulfilling track.

Are you looking for a therapist who can help your child or
teenager
learn to manage their emotions instead of engaging in all-out temper tantrums? As a caregiver, are you wondering what the best approach is to manage these difficult moments and to deepen your relationship with your child at the same time? In a therapy session with Alex, your child will learn techniques to encourage self-awareness in order to prevent acting-out behavior and you will learn strategies to support your child on this journey. A typical therapy session may include play therapy, yoga poses, breathwork, and/or creative arts.

Hello! I am a pschologist who does teletherapy with teens, young adults, and adults. My focus is to help you (or your
teen
!) feel heard and to commit to a life that feels fulfilling and valuable. I achieve this by working from an acceptance and values-based approach (ACT) with humor and compassion. Teletherapy allows you or your child the flexibility to receive treatment - from school, work, or home - without the commute! I would love for you to reach out, or go to my website, to set up a free consult phone call to see if we'd be a good match!

Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC

My specialty includes working with adolescents and their families who have experienced trauma. This includes adoption trauma as well as emotional and/or physical abuse. I am able to help both the
adolescent
and their family understand the affects of trauma on the brain and subsequent behaviors that ensue. I feel it is important to examine attachment issues as well as emotional regulation. I believe that through relationship the brain can be "rewired" to react to stressors in more effective ways. It would be my privilege to walk through this process with any
adolescent
who desires change.

An area of passionate focus for me is my work with children and adults who have experienced a variety of traumas and losses. My clinical experience includes private practice, individual therapy with children and adolescents in public and private school settings, residential treatment with high-risk youth in the custody of the state, and community mental health center services with individuals, couples, families, and groups. I welcome clients' diverse perspectives and unique life contexts.

adolescent
groups at Cherry Creek Psychotherapy where we incorporate a hybrid of skills including Mindfulness, Interpersonal Effectiveness, Emotion Regulation and Distress Tolerance.
I provide a welcoming, safe, and non-judgemental space for adolescents and young adults to explore constant feelings of worry, self-doubt, and uneasiness about the future. During this process, I provide support, validation and skills training to find control in managing distorted thoughts, overwhelming emotions, anxiety, and creating healthy, supportive relationships. I see each client uniquely and I want to help you learn more about yourself and find confidence in making the necessary changes to feel happy and secure.

Are you struggling with emotions, relationships, or identity? You may even be wishing that things just "go back to the way they used to be." Parents, does your
teen
need some extra support? Many feel stuck right now as the world constantly changes. This can lead to an overall resentment that may negatively impact everyday life.

When a child or
adolescent
is struggling, it can impact you, as well as the entire family.
My overall goal and focus is to restore and build hope and resilience in your life as a child, parent, young adult or family. Struggling with life transitions and emotional upset can often leave us feeling hopeless and isolated. I work with you to overcome these challenges through building a trusting, supportive relationship, focusing on strengths and changing negative thoughts, improving self-esteem and feelings of competence and control in your life.

Our clinical focus is a "hybrid" approach combining Dialectical and Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Relational/Experiential therapy, primarily for the
adolescent
and emerging adult, but also working with adults, families and couples. Our clients struggle with regulating emotions, distress tolerance, core emptiness (confusion about oneself), as well as interpersonal conflict with frequent emotional chaos. Our time-limited, solution-focused technique is often sought to augment a person's existing individual therapy. Our approach is also effective in treating depression, self-injury, anxiety - focusing on coping skills. We are comprised of 4 licensed clinicians offering both individual, couple and group therapy.

As a passionate and empathetic mental health professional, I seek to provide creative, exploratory therapeutic practices to help children and adolescents flourish.

My approach is very playful, child-directed, and trauma-informed. I am simply an instrument to help children unlock their unique gifts and potentials. Together, we will work towards integration of mind, body, and spirit.

Teen Therapists
Adolescence can be a time of both disorientation and discovery. The transitional period can raise questions of independence and identity; as adolescents cultivate their sense of self, they may face difficult choices about academics, friendship, sexuality, gender identity, drugs, and alcohol.
Most teens have a relatively egocentric perspective on life; a state of mind that usually abates with age. They often focus on themselves and believe that everyone else—from a best friend to a distant crush—is focused on them too. They may grapple with insecurities and feelings of being judged. Relationships with family members often take a backseat to peer groups, romantic interests, and appearance, which teens perceive as increasingly important during this time.
The transition can naturally lead to anxiety about physical development, evolving relationships with others, and one's place in the larger world. Mild anxiety and other challenges are typical, but serious mental health conditions also emerge during adolescence. Finding a teen therapist in Denver and addressing a disorder early on can help ensure the best possible outcome.
