Therapists for Children in Denver, CO

Katie Kirk
Psychologist, PsyD, LAC
Online Only
My clients range widely: individuals carrying trauma or complex trauma, including those in addiction recovery, public safety professionals, and people navigating gender identity; clinicians seeking supervision as they build their clinical voice; leaders wanting to think more clearly under pressure; and organizations working through team friction or building genuinely inclusive culture. What brings them here is often a sense that surface-level solutions haven't worked—they're looking for something more grounded. I help them move forward by meeting real complexity with clinical rigor and genuine care, rather than offering quick fixes.

I believe we all have a natural inclination for healing. I'll be bringing this belief to our work together and my experience working with clients aged 5 to 75 on goals related to life changes, family dynamics, trauma, depression, anxiety, relationships, ADHD, and more. I find it meaningful to look at the systems that a person exists within to gain insight. I hope to provide a space to explore what parts of self protection are still serving you and which parts are getting in the way of aligning to your ideal self.

Life can be challenging! It’s often difficult to make sense of what we’re feeling, or know how to recover from periods disconnection, conflict, miscommunication, or pain in relationships. I work with couples and families, and strive to help my clients identify sources of difficulty within their relationships to promote healing, growth, security, and reconnection. Being in therapy can often feel scary or exposing, so I intentionally create a supportive environment where I invite clients (as they're ready!) to allow their full selves to be seen.

Do you find it difficult to express or feel your emotions? Do you struggle with feeling numb or stuck? Emotional neglect, and other difficult experiences, often leave behind a persistent sense of emptiness and an internalized belief that something is inherently wrong with you. It can be difficult to identify, name, or validate, often leading to self-blame and self-criticism. I am passionate about helping people of all ages reconnect to themselves and their emotions as they navigate trauma, self-esteem challenges, and relationship difficulties.

FAQ - About Child Therapy
When does a child need to see a therapist?
Children naturally experience emotional ups and downs. Sometimes, though, they need support from a professional. A child may benefit from therapy if their emotions or behaviors change significantly within a short period of time. For example, if a child usually spends time with friends after school but begins isolating in their room, further inquiry is warranted. Other areas for concern include altered sleep patterns, lack of appetite, intense anger, irritability, or hopelessness, or developmental regression in young children (bedwetting, thumb-sucking).

What can a child therapist help with?
A therapist can help with any difficult experience a child may encounter growing up, including learning problems or anxiety related to school, relationship challenges with friends or parents, bullying, intense emotions or phobias, divorce and family dynamics, or the death of a pet or loved one. A therapist can help children process their experience and develop coping skills in an age-appropriate way

What therapy types are most suitable for children?
Children can benefit from different forms of therapy, including family therapy, parent-child interaction therapy, play therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and exposure therapy, depending on their condition. Play therapy is a great option for younger children who may not be able to fully articulate their feelings. In this approach, kids play with toys and games while a therapist observes and helps the child express their emotions and develop coping skills.

Do I need to attend therapy with my child?
Parents are an integral part of a child’s therapy, but the specifics of their involvement vary. If your child is young, you may attend most or all sessions; if your child is older, you may attend a few sessions or none; sometimes a therapist may ask you to have a session on your own. Whatever the arrangement, you should expect to work collaboratively with the therapist, your child, and your family members to take steps to help support your child.

How can I tell if a therapist is a good fit for my child?
A child needs to feel comfortable opening up about their thoughts and feelings, so if your child feels a sense of comfort, ease, and trust with their therapist, that’s a great sign. In addition, a therapist is a good fit for your child if the two can communicate well together; a clinician should be able to communicate clearly, effectively, and in an age-appropriate manner.
