Cancer Therapists in Denver, CO

I specialize in working with clients experiencing life transitions and adjustment difficulties; chronic health conditions, including cancer ; issues related to aging; the many forms of grief and loss; anxiety; depression; self-esteem; identity issues; and relationship issues. I believe that giving a voice to one’s experiences can be a powerful agent of change and transformation.

I specialize in helping people cope with life changes, with these changes coming in so many forms, sometimes planned and sometimes very unexpected. These stressors, challenges, and transitions can become overwhelming. As your counselor, I will come alongside you to help you navigate these times. We will review how your thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and values are connected and work on a plan to better your current situation. Main topics I work on with clients include Stress Management, Communication & Relationship Skills, Anxiety, Anger Management, Chronic Illness & Cancer , and Compassion Fatigue & Burnout.

Weary from hard experiences and tense relationships? Feeling like you are stuck and have no direction? Therapy can be a courageous space to loosen the grip of life's sufferings and hang-ups. I focus on building a therapeutic relationship that invites you to share your untold stories of hardship. By sitting and processing together, we can collaborate on ways for you to reach your goals and bring life to the heavy areas of your heart. I seek to honor your courage, process, and trust by integrating therapeutic approaches that meet your specific needs.

Life can be a lot to handle sometimes. In the blink of an eye, things can happen that irrevocably change our lives. Events like a cancer diagnosis, the death of a loved one, job loss, a breakup, sexual assault, or even a car accident may leave you with trauma, anxiety, depression, and grief that degrades your health and quality of life. Often, it is many accumulating events that overwhelm us with chronic stress and push us past our current ability to cope. If you are in that place where hope, happiness, and the life you would like to live seems impossible to reach, I can help you learn the skills needed to cope and build resiliency.

Pain is an experience that can feel scary, isolating, and everlasting. Whether it be emotional, physical, mental, or relational, pain takes on many forms and can disguise itself in different ways. Has a painful event left you feeling overwhelmed? Are you, or somebody you know, battling with a serious medical condition? Do you face challenges in life that leave you feeling stuck?

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate, National Certified Counselor, Reiki Master, Medium, Shamanic practitioner, Meditation teacher, Spiritual guide and Life coach. Throughout my life I've had experiences that led me to search for more than the traditional therapeutic approach to heal. I earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health and owned a spiritual business five years prior to earning my degree. I have witnessed the benefits from a clinical approach and have also seen profound healing from a spiritual approach. I believe that for one to truly heal, there needs to be healing in the mind, body, heart and soul.

Some people have called me the teen whisperer. I have worked with kids for over 26 years in many different communities. I spent several years in Denver working with kids in the legal system or who had been expelled from school. The last 8 years I have been in a school counseling role. I am very passionate about helping teens find their way. These are rough years and today our kids are struggling more than ever with mental health. There is a lot of unresolved trauma and helping them unpack this can be so healing. I am also a cancer survivor and mother of 3 so I understand resilience and parenting.

My hope for my clients is that they find this space a place of warmth, kindness, & feel heard. For the past decade I have worked closely with clients going through or supporting someone with a cancer diagnosis. Which brings many facets to the space, therapy is not a one size fits all and I want to always leave room for what feels most authentic to you.

You may be aware your body, mind, and spirit are speaking to one another, and that your past might be influencing your present, but are struggling to make sense of it all. Maybe you are noticing your thoughts or relationships running into the same patterns and cycles. Maybe you are curious about spirituality and somatic (body-based) work and what messages your body's symptoms are trying to communicate to you. If you are seeking to create balance in your life, rather than the exhausting pursuit of perfection, I would love to work with you.

My name is Jamie Lofing. I am trained in CBT,DBT, ACT, EMDR, and have worked with those who have undergone trauma. Additionally, I have worked with families in crisis.

No matter what challenge, stress, or trauma you may be facing, I believe that as a human being, you have access to a reservoir of strength, resiliency, and peace within you. Sometimes you are able to access that peace on your own, or with the help of friends or family; yet, at other times, you could benefit from the support of a trusted therapist. As your therapist, I am here to offer genuine care for you and your process - to help you discover peace within.

Finding an affirmative therapist can be a difficult & complex process. For many of us, living as our authentic selves can be challenging. Sometimes there are multiple barriers & difficult decisions ahead. You don’t have to navigate it all alone. Whether gender identity or sexuality is a focus of treatment or you're dealing with other unrelated things, a therapist with a solid knowledge base & understanding of your needs & background is crucial. Many clients work with me because of my expertise & 10+ years of experience, or because they prefer working with a therapist who has first-hand knowledge of trans/queer identities.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor with experience in working alongside adults and young adults in intensive, group, and individual settings.

You can live a more rewarding life. I understand that most feelings, thoughts, and actions, no matter how troublesome or destructive, come from a place of trying to adapt or even just survive your current life situation.  I know that if you are struggling you most likely want better for yourself but may have difficulty making changes. I can help you to better understand patterns of thoughts and behaviors that leave you feeling stuck and then is then our work together to determine the best way to lead you to where you want to be.
