Therapists in Denver, CO

You are unlike any other being that exists. You are a creative force. You go against the grain and it might feel like you don't fit in. Society has tried to box you in for so long that you've pushed away and hidden little parts of your soul. You may have numbed your feelings and ignored your heart's desires as a trade for comfort, stability, acceptance, and normalcy. I understand, because I've been there too, but this is what I know for sure. Our soul is crying out for true freedom. I have a strong understanding of the LGBTQ+ community including what it means to know your own identity and to be your best self.

I have a heart to see breakthrough, healing, and freedom for my clients. My intent is to provide a safe place where individuals can explore self-discovery, find their voice, and experience a release from the trauma that has held them captive. I provide a client-centered integrated counseling approach for children 5+, teenagers, adults, couples, and families.

As relational beings, the experience of feeling connected to our authentic self and that of others is essential to wellness. Investigating the multi-layered stories that are told about us, that often inform how we view ourselves, is critical to finding alternative ways of stepping into the power of our truths. Exploring, and interrogating, the messages that are intimately tied to culture, ancestry, and community can offer wisdom necessary in addressing problems in living folks experience. Whether seeking individual, relational, or family therapy, I believe the healing journey is inherently a collective one.

I focus my work on couples and therapy with adult individuals. I graduated from Stanford in 2002 and received my Masters in Counseling Psychology from John F. Kennedy University in 2007. I also have a post-masters certification in Marriage and Family Therapy from Denver Family Institute as well as training in a couples model of therapy called EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy). I am committed to intersectionality and creating safe spaces for marginalized identities. I have extensive experience working with childhood trauma, relationship wounds, and emotional distress. My therapy is inclusive, affirming, authentic and transformative.

Our approach utilizes the biopsychosocial approach to evaluation and treatment; this means we strive to understand the biological, psychological, and social factors that influence the health and wellness of our clients. Our services are often referred to as "behavioral medicine" or "medical psychology;" this is due to taking a holistic approach in our treatment considering the whole person - physical, mental, emotional, and social. We often work collaboratively with other professions such as primary care physicians, occupational therapists, social workers, chaplains, and others who are important to one's individual network of care.

I am a trans and queer therapist and I greatly believe in the power of having a therapist that shares identities or experiences similar to your own! I work with trans and queer youth and adults. Living in a marginalized identity brings many challenges and I offer support, skills, and a systems perspective to navigate those barriers-while also celebrating joy, resilience, successes, and all parts of your identity. I specialize in gender affirming therapy, trauma therapy, and working with historically marginalized folx. My first priorities are safety and trust, so that we can move towards healing and taking up space!

My approach is about creating a space where humor and empathy foster a sense of comfort and connection. I blend compassion and genuine understanding drawn from professional expertise and lived experiences, and I am here to support you every step of the way. Inspired by Thich Nhat Hanh, I believe that "the way out is in," and together, we'll go on an inward journey of self-discovery and healing.

You deserve to feel safe in your mind, body and environment. If you've dealt with trauma, unhealthy relationships, or adverse childhood experiences, this sense of safety may be unfamiliar. I specialize in helping individuals heal from trauma associated with narcissistic abuse, experiences of intimate partner violence, sexual assault, adverse childhood experiences, childhood sexual abuse, and sex trafficking. I also have a deep understanding of intersectionality and approach therapy through a culturally responsive lens; taking into consideration the impacts of systems of oppression and experiences of historical and racial trauma.

Finding a therapist is often such a difficult process. It is hard to know what is going to feel helpful when life feels too hard to manage. My hope is that I can help you on the journey and create spaces where it feels safe and accessible to find the help and healing you are seeking. My approach focuses on being curious about how you have learned to relate to others, the ways you feel internally as a result of your experience, and the ways you have learned to protect yourself because of the pain you have endured. The goal is to gain insight into barriers that hinder deep connection with others and hinder your ability to flourish.

Imagine if you had the confidence to show up as your authentic self. Or if your teenage daughter could overcome insecurity to be the person she genuinely wants to be. Maybe you are fed up with questioning who you are and wondering how to embody the multiple identities and roles you align with. You have been taught to stifle your confidence, take up less space, and conform to the values and behaviors of everyone around you. You’re ready to unpack and overcome these challenges. You want to set attainable goals for yourself. Most of all you are ready to reconnect with who you are.

Hola! Thank you for being interested in therapy. I am a bilingual Spanish speaking Licensed Independent Mental Health Therapist (LIMHP) in Nebraska, and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado. I've had the privilege to work for non-profit organizations and in a dual diagnosis clinic. I've had the opportunity to be a board member of various nonprofit organizations in Nebraska advocating for equitable mental health. I am also one of the first Latine adjunct professors at the University of Nebraska Counseling Department. If you are looking for a therapist that is community driven I am that person.

Every human beings has a true genuine authentic self. Trauma is the disconnection from it and healing is the reconnection to it. - Dr. Gabor Mate Life is full of beauty and hardship. We all have experiences that shape who we are, how we feel, and what we believe about ourselves. Sometimes we need a compassionate space to explore and heal our wounds. From young professionals to helping professionals to new moms to folks in the LGBTQ+ folks, I invite deep exploration and support clients to develop understanding of how the adversities they've faced impact their minds, bodies, and spirits.

I am Licensed Social Worker with 8 years of experience. I really enjoy working with people and specifically adolescents and young adults. All my experiences have brought me here, wanting to start my own practice to help young adults and adolescents as they transition into different phases of their lives. I remember being that age and not knowing what to do when it came to different things that came up and I want to be that bridge person. Also, I want to help them with their social awareness and mental awareness, so they learn how to navigate their lives and build their toolboxes.

As a therapist, I prioritize the creation of a safe and nurturing space for my clients, where they feel heard, understood, and respected. I place great emphasis on the client-therapist relationship, recognizing it as a vital cornerstone of the therapeutic process. I believe that by fostering a trusting and supportive environment, clients can feel empowered to explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences openly and authentically. My approach is rooted in the belief that by confronting the root causes of our challenges, we can create lasting change and cultivate a deeper sense of self-awareness and resilience.

The problems we struggle with seek to define and marginalize our identities as humans. The power that various problems seek to have in our lives can leave us feeling lost, helpless, and alone. Counseling can be a great place to begin to separate our identities from our struggles, where the problem does not get to define us as humans. My goal is to join you in this process and support the creation of a new identity, where the problem no longer gets to hold the mirror from which our own reflections are seen.

Are you alive, but not fully living? Do you depend on things you look forward to but dread others, without a sense of sustained contentment and meaning? Sometimes we feel a lack of core vitality when we are not guided by our values. Some build their whole lives on "should's", (eg. should be a manager, have kids, etc), expectations that reflect cultural priorities, without getting to know themselves enough to center their own unique passions, large and small. I will help you identify & center your core values, so that you can make practical changes to your lifestyle to reflect those values and relax into a life of meaning & joy.
