Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists in Denver, CO
I work with adults and teens who may be feeling stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected from themselves, or navigating a difficult transition. Clients may be working through anxiety, self-worth, life changes, relationship challenges, or personal growth while trying to figure out what they want and where to go from here. At Ellie Mental Health, I provide a warm, supportive space where clients can feel heard without judgment, reconnect with their strengths, and gain clarity around what they want. Together, we focus on practical steps that build confidence, create meaningful change, and help clients move forward.

Life has a way of forcing us to confront things which we believed we already overcame. Sometimes we look at ourselves and think, "how did I get here?". We can become so complacent and comfortable with discomfort that it becomes our new normal, forming our views and behaviors without our knowledge it's even happening. Sometimes we all just need an accepting and neutral person to process life with in order to regain control and understanding. We will work together to build respect and trust. I believe that counseling is not giving a hand to a person sitting in the mud, it's sitting in the mud with them and getting out together.

Grief and loss can leave you feeling shattered, as though you will never experience joy again. Life losses take many forms (death, job loss, relationship loss, etc.) and it's difficult knowing where to turn for help during these times. Another difficult loss is familial estrangement. The latest YouGov poll states that 38% of adults are estranged from someone in their family. People become estranged for many reasons, the most common reasons are abuse, betrayal, and manipulation. I have worked with many parents and children on this issue and they have found it helpful, especially towards reconciliation if possible.

Supporting youth with developmental disabilities and their families is my area of passion and expertise.

As a clinician, I am an advocate and skilled provider of eye-movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), Brainspotting, hypnosis, cognitive behavioral therapy ( CBT), emotion focused therapy (EFT) & rationale-emotive behavioral therapy (RBT).
The Sex Therapist you never knew you needed! When client’s come to my office to seek therapy, the one part of themselves that is most often neglected is sexuality! Most people don’t even mention sexual beliefs, curiosities, behaviors, or attitudes until I ask. I believe that sexuality is so much a part of who we are, there is no way to fully heal and truly be at peace if our sexuality is not explored! As well as specializing in Sex Therapy, I’m also a Clinical Trauma Therapist and provide Ketamine Assisted Therapy to those with unresolved trauma, persistent depression, and anxiety.

I provide counseling that centers on supporting a healthy means of helping clients on an individual, marital, and family level. Emotional responses to life stress often derail and distract us from adjusting and maintaining good health. In facing challenges it's important to take care of yourself and those you love by getting the support and help you need. I enjoy working with clients of all ages to address both individual and relationship issues.

Grief is not reserved for the death of a loved one. Grief may also be associated with job loss, issues related to infertility or postpartum depression, accepting limitations and disappointments, ending a long-term relationship, saying goodbye to a beloved pet, leaving your home, losing a friendship, retirement, receiving a life-altering diagnosis or injury, feeling like a failure, or grieving the life you thought you'd have. Even new and exciting life changes may include an element of grief.

As your therapist, I am here to offer genuine care for you and your process - to help you discover peace within. If you are a woman trying to manage it all, reach out today to schedule a free consultation. You are not alone.

Hey there, my name is Kuhu (pronounced KOO-hoo)! I'm glad you're here. Reaching out for support can be one of the hardest steps especially when you're used to being self-reliant and seen as capable.
As a survivor of trauma myself, I’m passionate about working with individuals who learned to survive early in life by becoming hyper-independent, hyper-competent, or hyper-aware of others. You found a way to survive and meet expectations. But the survival strategies that once helped you succeed, may be the very patterns that are keeping you exhausted and on edge. That's where this work comes in.

I integrate psychoeducation with somatic and cognitive approaches, with a focus on how trauma and stress show up in the body.

Genuine connection is at the heart of my work. I value open, transparent communication and strive to create a space where you can feel comfortable being yourself. Together, we’ll explore where you’ve been, what you’re experiencing now, and where you want to go.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy in my practice.
Are you feeling stressed, overwhelmed, exhausted, or even hopeless? Do you wonder if things will ever get better?

Seeking help for the first time can be a scary and overwhelming experience. It takes courage to be willing to reach out and open up to someone new.

That’s why I use a combination of mindfulness, CBT ( cognitive behavioral therapy), EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing), self compassion and Gottman Institute's research-based approach.

I am especially drawn to helping anxious achievers, perfectionists, millennial women + couples get unstuck with empathy, insight, and curiosity.

I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, depression, stress, adjustment, shame and trauma reactions. Do you find yourself feeling stuck in your thoughts? As if they are playing on a loop, fixated? You too may find yourself dealing with depression, irritability, relationship issues, guilt, and anxiety keeping you from the peace you seek. Therapy helps us understand where we're stuck and provides the space to practice new strategies. I use proven techniques to help people involved in traumatic events or struggling with anxiety, panic, depression, adjustment and relationships become reacquainted with themselves.

Therapy is a collaborative space where we work to understand patterns, reduce internal friction, and strengthen your sense of direction and self-trust. Many clients come in knowing what they should do, yet feel unable to fully integrate or sustain change - our work often focuses on closing that gap. I help clients explore the patterns and experiences that may be keeping them stuck while also building skills they can use in everyday life. Our work may include learning to respond differently to difficult thoughts and emotions, strengthening boundaries, practicing acceptance, and identifying what is within your control.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists
How does cognitive behavioral therapy work?
Cognitive behavioral therapy works by exploring how your thoughts affect your emotions and experiences. CBT helps you identify distortions in your thinking. For example, you may tend to jump to the worst case scenario catastrophizing or think in extremes (all-or-nothing thinking). A therapist can teach you how to push back against those thoughts to ultimately change your feelings and behavior for the better. They can also provide coping skills to better deal with stressors and challenges.
When do I know to seek treatment with cognitive behavioral therapy?
It’s reasonable to consider cognitive behavioral therapy if you struggle to manage difficult emotions or behaviors to such an extent that you are not getting the most out of life on a day-to-day basis. If you want a shorter term, concrete, skills-based approach, CBT is a great option. (By contrast, other types of therapy may devote more time to exploring your past and its effects.) The decision to seek CBT also depends on the condition you’re treating; CBT is an effective treatment for anxiety, depression, trauma, and many other disorders.
How can I find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else?
To find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else, you may want to begin by discussing the person’s problem, researching cognitive behavioral therapy, and assessing whether the approach is the right fit. You could then reach out to a few cognitive behavioral therapists in this directory, explain the scenario, have a consultation with those available, and determine who could be a good match.
Why is CBT such a popular form of therapy?
CBT has become a popular form of therapy because it is effective and accessible. Robust research has demonstrated that CBT is an effective treatment for many mental health conditions. And CBT can be learned in relatively few sessions, which means that many people can engage in the process, afford it, and see results quickly. It involves learning concrete skills such as disputing unhelpful thoughts; these skills can also be taught and spread widely.
