Couples Counseling Therapists in Denver, CO

I work with clients looking for overall growth and healing in their lives. Most clients do experience symptoms of imbalance in their everyday lives. This may surface in the form of marital discord, financial issues, anxiety, and depression. I believe these symptoms represent something deeper wanting to be felt, witnessed, acknowledged and understood. I am someone that provides a safe, warm time to explore the more tender content of our lives. I don't believe in having all the answers but rather providing the time to mindfully and humbly move through whatever is being brought forth.

If you have experienced trauma of any kind, either as a child or as an adult, I have many years of experience helping people heal from trauma. I am a certified EMDR therapist and consultant and have found EMDR to be a very successful therapy for post-traumatic stress symptoms, relationship problems, anxiety, stress-related problems or depression.

My core value is compassion, which means that when we are hurt we must find ways to stay in the moment, to not leave ourselves. Compassion for ourselves leads to strength and confidence that is needed to heal. I model comedic empathy for our shared human condition and the sometimes too serious processes in our lives . I bring a wealth of information and expertise to help identify and successfully address the problems that come with divorce, relationships, grief and loss, marital infidelity, parenting, co-parenting, blended families, communication with your partner , and generally feeling overwhelmed and hopeless.

I understand the challenges of living outside of the cultural norm - we have to create our own maps from scratch to navigate challenging questions about identity and relationships. Trying to sort through these issues alone is overwhelming! I can help. Together, we will identify what is important to you, and explore ways of being that support healing and living authentically. As a nonbinary, queer, polyamory-positive, kink-aware, trauma-informed professional, I can offer a unique perspective for those of us who exist outside of traditional roles.

Dr. Jessica Reyka, Psy.D., the founder and owner of Grass Roots Healing, LLC, is a firm believer that in order to reconnect and heal, we must first go back to the "root" of the problem or concern, which often stems far back into one's life, and then work towards healing from an inward-out approach. "The stronger our roots are, the more beautiful the leaves that come from the tree"; similar to the process of therapy where we rebuild the foundation from which you view the world and create a life/beliefs/behaviors that are more in alignment with your true values and authentic self.

I work with men and woman who are wrestling with addiction, PTSD, anger issues, relationship issues, and other life challenges. I believe there are times we feel trapped and long for freedom. I believe a great amount of healing comes from truly connecting with ourselves and with others and I deeply believe in hope. Hope for change and a fuller, freer, and more joyous life. Let's set up a time to meet and I would be honored to travel with you on your journey towards freedom.
