Hi there! My name is Aisha (She/her/hers). Although I believe we are all the experts of our individual lives, there are times when all of us could benefit from an objective space. I've supported those through the heaviness of anxiety, depression, and trauma. I use a eclectic approach to meet your individual needs and goals. I typically use a mixture of cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, dialectical behavioral, and person-centered therapies.

Currently only accepting new clients for weekly DBT skills class, not individual therapy. I work with young people aged 14-35. I am a borderline personality disorder specialist primarily and also support other personality disorders, ADHD, and high achieving people with anxiety. Clients often say they want a therapist who will provide realistic, down-to-earth support and engage them in hard discussions which is what people find when they meet with me; I'm the same person in the therapy room as I am outside of it.

I work with you to define and achieve the life YOU want, whether that is managing symptoms, solving a problem, or simply living a more fulfilling life and being your authentic self. I believe a good therapist, like a good friend, doesn’t just tell you what you want to hear. I challenge my clients to see new perspectives, notice their blind spots, and find new insights. My theoretical orientation draws primarily from humanism and existentialism. I draw techniques from MI, CBT, and DBT . I would describe my style as cognitive-based and intellectual, with no “BS” and a healthy dose of humor!

For some I will stick strictly to CBT, for others we interweave CBT/ DBT with a holistic approach, and for some we pull from the Mystical Shaman Oracle deck for further illumination as an add on to traditional therapy.
Whether it's navigating life challenges or reflecting back on a childhood that lacked emotional nourishment, we tend to gravitate towards locking ourselves into a negative belief system or narrative. We are the story we tell ourselves. But the story can change and does change. Together through our therapeutic bond and your journey of building conscious awareness, you will identify those belief systems and let them go! It’s about healing but also about transcending those painful bumps and detours on your life path journey. Days/Hours-T/W/Thur-10AM-5:30PM,MST & 1 Friday a month -9AM-2PM, MST.

I access a number of different modalities including CBT, DBT , ACT, and Narrative Therapy, but most importantly I focus on collaboration and building an affirming client-therapist relationship.
Shame and love are grounded in vulnerability and tenderness (Brene Brown, 2012). Every person deserves validation, empathy, and compassion free from judgment. I focus on exploring all unique aspects of a person's identity and I will ensure that our work is personalized to help you reach your therapeutic goals. I am currently in the process of becoming an AASECT certified sex therapist and I am comfortable treating anxiety, depression, eating disorders, mood disorders, relationship problems, and more.

In therapy, I utilize a person-centered, collaborative style with more formal approaches of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy ( DBT ) to work on symptoms of anxiety, depression, and trauma-based responses.
Welcome and thank you for visiting my page! My hope is to help clients better manage their daily stressors, the narrative they are telling themselves, and how both are impacting the ways they are showing up in their daily lives. I believe it is vastly important for us all to have a safe space to talk about our experiences with someone who is in support of their mental health and related goals.

My primary focus is working with young adults who are struggling with the challenges of emerging into adulthood while also battling depression, anxiety, mood instability, and other such symptomology. I offer treatment both through individual and group therapy. My approach is to assist clients with developing insight into themselves and their surroundings while increasing skills through Dialectical Behavioral Therapy ( DBT ) & Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which decrease these symptoms. DBT & CBT skills also improve independence & self awareness, relationship effectiveness, emotion regulation, and stress management.

I practice Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy.
Therapy isn't about making you feel good. Therapy is about making you good at feeling. If you know that you can successfully feel anything that comes your way, then you're safe. I'm a licensed clinical social worker who's been in the private practice of psychotherapy since 1990. I’ve taught in the Graduate Department of Psychology at Regis University here in Denver and currently provide supervision to PhD students from the University of Denver, so I both practice and teach therapy.

I provide a safe, accepting space for kiddos to explore and work through their struggles, utilizing play therapy, ACT, CBT, and DBT modalities.
Welcome! Are you a caregiver of a child who is struggling with their mental health? You are in the right place :) I am a pre-licensed social worker with over 10 years of experience working with kiddos in a multitude of settings from treatment centers to schools. I believe we all do the best we can with the tools we are given & I don't expect your child or teen to immediately trust me or think I can help them. Trust takes time to build and there is no one size fits all approach to therapy. Each treatment plan is tailored to what will most effectively help and empower your child.

Hello All! I know how challenging it can be to begin therapy for the first time or restart again, so I want to honor the vulnerability it takes to share your story with a new person. I love walking alongside individuals as they process past trauma, working to deconstruct religious/spiritual abuse narratives or experiences, while also beginning the journey of trusting one's self and body. I hope to provide my clients with a safe place to unpack their experiences, beliefs, and fears.

I use different techniques from EMDR, DBT , CBT, Solution Focused, REBT, Psychodynamic, and many more.
We go about our day holding on to the pain of the past or the uncertainty of the future, with the deep fear that we are the only ones struggling. Let me be the first to tell you, that you are not alone. Taking the journey of mental health can be scary, but with the right tools – and a good sense of humor – there is nothing you cannot accomplish. Pain and suffering do not get to define who we are as people, we do. If you are looking to make a lasting change in your life, allow me to be your guide. I work with people from all walks of life who are struggling to see the light in their life.

I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, marriage & family; & am certified in DBT ( Dialectical Behavior Therapy) and am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing).
Clients who are struggling but wanting to not only heal, but also grow have the potential for being extremely powerful people. We have all gone through difficult times, experiencing anxiety, fear, depression, and hopelessness. However, if we have healed, we look back and see those times as hard, but some of the most powerful in our lives. Hearts can become strong, marriages can be healed and become euphoric, and our families can become strong, powerful, and beautiful. If you have a Christian background, I can help you become stronger in your faith. If you want to become a stronger leader, I am also an executive coach.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists

Who is DBT for?

DBT is designed for people who experience extreme emotional suffering because they lack the skills of emotion regulation and distress tolerance. The basic affliction can underlie a wide range of conditions, from borderline and other personality disorders to PTSD and treatment-resistant anxiety and depression. The therapy is helpful to those whose emotional reactivity is so intense it is disruptive to everyday functioning and leads to frequent crises.

Why do people need DBT?

The ability to regulate emotions is a core psychological skill that enables people to function in life and pay attention to the world outside themselves; it is consistently associated with well-being. DBT is designed to help people learn how to manage and regulate their emotions. Originally developed to treat people with borderline personality disorder whose extreme emotional suffering led to self-harming behavior and suicide attempts, the therapy is now applied to other conditions involving emotion dysregulation, particularly when other treatments have failed.

What happens in DBT?

Individuals meet weekly with their therapist to discuss their experiences relating to moods, behavior, and skills. Using checklists they maintain, they review emotional experiences and positive practices they engage in. The diaries help individuals discern what led up to a specific problem encountered, this is followed by discussion of the consequences of their actions. In addition, individuals may meet in class-like small groups to learn skills such as mindfulness, emotion regulation and distress tolerance.

How long does DBT last?

Because it is intended to establish long-lasting behavioral change among those with persistent problems, DBT is designed to last six months to a year. DBT includes both weekly sessions of individual therapy and weekly skills-training sessions conducted in small groups. Studies of DBT have documented improvement within a year of treatment, particularly in controlling self-harmful behavior; nevertheless, individuals may require therapy for several years.
