I invite you to pause with me in this present space (intentionally) and take 2 deep and slow breaths from the abdomen (Back straight). What are you noticing in your body? What are these sensations (Dreams, Archetypes , Omens, Images, pain, fear, sadness etc.)? Where is it located in your body presently? Yes! the body keeps the score. It is a receptacle of programs in which we are oftentimes unaware we overlook; desensitized to its non -verbal wisdom. In fact, we generally weren't taught to slow down and pay attention to it during those crucial moments in our lives in which our self image and esteem are impacted..

I am passionate about working with individuals going through life transitions, grief and loss issues, relationship and attachment concerns, and for those in the LGBTQIA+ community. I am also very experienced working with mood disorders, anxiety, ADHD, gender dysphoria, and relational issues. My approach is largely relational and insight-oriented. WPATH letters.

I use the Family Systems theory approach while identifying family of origin roles and patterns. Using a cognitive behavioral approach in helping clients identify thinking patterns that impact self-esteem and the choices one makes, I can guide you to new thought patterns that will raise the quality level of your life in many ways. Mood disorder therapy, including Bipolar Disorder and Major Depression, is a vital instrument for those affected. Medication assessment and management referral resources are available to compliment psychotherapy. Think in new ways, feel new emotions, live with a new view of you and your world.

I work with children, adolescents and adults who are primarily dealing with anxiety, depression and relationship issues. Emotional health is as important as physical health. We work together to understand how to accomplish change. I work in medical and mental health settings with the belief that integrating feelings with appropriate behavior creates a more peaceful existence. This summer I will be offering psychotherapy with equine assistance for kids (individual and group treatment) ages 6-adolescents at Affinity Ranch in Parker, CO.

Learn how to feel more connected to yourself, others and the world around you. Therapy provides all the elements of intimacy: honest communication, vulnerability and trust. Good therapy is challenging yet warm, providing both structure and empathy for your unique experience. We are a collective of therapists with a wide range of specialties. Our intake professionals will help connect you with the right therapist for your needs. We make appointments easy, offering evenings and weekends and flexibility for creative professionals who can't make the same time each week.

We all know someone who needs professional help. It is clear to you and others that they are not healthy, they are sabotaging their life through a slow form of suicide. Typically this looks like heavy drinking, and/or drug abuse which then is reflected in their personal and professional relationships. Through an intervention by Belina, a clinician of over 25 years, you can get effective help. When a team of loved ones, plus a facilitator such as a seasoned clinician, gathers, change can begin. Call soon, no time should be wasted.

Professionals and Millennials often feel deeply the stresses of work, family struggles, and relationship or dating challenges. Any of these can have you overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, hurtful people, low self-esteem, comparing to others, or not feeling "good enough." You take care of everyone yet don't get your own needs met. You seek a partner or to improve your relationship, but your past gets in the way. A parent (still!)makes family harmony difficult. I've worked alongside people in their 30s and 20s at universities and nonprofits on three continents. And I can help you live your whole authentic self with less stress.

I approach therapy with a genuine and heartfelt compassion to your well-being. My commitment to understanding your struggles and emotions, without judgement, forms a foundations of our therapeutic relationship.. I'm her to listen, support and validate your experiences. I see therapy as a partnership between us. Your journey to healing and personal growth is not something I direct, but rather, its path we navigate together. Your input, desires and goals are crucial and I'm dedicated to working with you to achieve them. My goal is not only to address your immediate challenges but to nurture long term personal growth and resilience.

I believe in a holistic focused approach to therapy. I incorporate mind, body and spirit to achieve a regulated emotional state and balance in one's life. I believe that client's are the experts in their own life and I have a variety of therapeutic techniques in my toolbox to accommodate each individual to find their unique healing path.

It can be very overwhelming trying to find someone that can understand and support you. I work hard to provide really effective support. Here is an example of some of the feedback from a recent client struggling with anxiety, depression, relationships issues, & self esteem: "Having worked with many therapists over the years I still felt at a loss and unheard...The skills Don is helping me build and recognize have had an insightful impact providing glimpses of hope within myself. Thank you for working and believing in me Don." In 2020 my clients reported 91% satisfaction with their therapy and would recommend this service to others.

Feeling weighed down by the burdens of life yet struggling to find anyone who understands? Is stress, anxiety, or depression starting to impact relationships, work, or your sex life? Do you feel disconnected, trapped in cycles you can’t change, or haunted by the past? Are you unsure about who you are, who you want to be, or how to love all the parts of yourself? Since men are often expected to be strong, stoic, & steadfast, we often hide behind a mask, unsure about the internal swirl of emotions, doubts, & fears. You're not alone & what you face isn’t insurmountable. The journey of exploration, healing, & transformation begins here.

We know finding the right therapist can be a daunting task. We hope to make that easier. We pride ourselves on the ability to work with each person in a supportive and encouraging setting. We strongly believe in each persons potential and ability to make changes and create happiness. Our clinicians are highly trained in a wide array of specialties. At 1st Priority Institute for Better Living the atmosphere is cheerful and hopeful; optimistic for a better tomorrow. We encourage you to dig deep and call today.

Your mind, body, & spirit are important components of a good life. I work with relationships, abuse, bullying, developing a strong and healthy sense of self, sex & gender, & spirituality. Having had a number of experiences with loss and the survival of the soul, I also do lots of grief and hope work over the passing of beloved animals and people. I find that this helps people with anxiety, especially important in our time. I am fully supportive of various orientations and paths to fulfillment, aware of the roles that class, race, and gender play in our lives. Most of all, I want you to find your true self, not a mask imposed on you.

At Mindfully, we are dedicated to helping our clients heal, grow, and thrive. We focus on matching clients with providers who specialize in the challenges they are facing. By providing the best fit from the start, we help our clients meet their goals with greater success, faster.

Are you feeling alone in your pain? Do you feel stuck? And does the idea of opening up about your hurt feel overwhelming? I'd love to come alongside you to get unstuck. Whether your pain is rooted in trauma, grief, anxiety, or difficult relationships, we will work together to transform your suffering into meaning, change, and growth. Together, we will shift your old ways of relating to others into new and healthy connections and help you feel more rooted, aligned, and in congruence with yourself.

I work with deep feeling souls who are dedicated to social change & who struggle with trauma, grief, anxiety & depression. Does this sound familiar? You feel ALL the feels & deeply long for intimacy, yet guard your heart because your vulnerability has been weaponized against you in the past. You feel trapped in quicksand, holding the weight of the world. Emotions feel all-encompassing because the world hurts & you can’t fix it. You are here to fulfill your life’s purpose, yet your voice feels swallowed by the noise. You no longer need to search. You are not alone. You are right where you need to be!

I believe that while we cannot always control the challenges life deals us, we can control how we react to them. Oftentimes we find ourselves stuck as we are confronted with unique challenges or our ways of dealing with lifelong challenges are no longer effective. My goal is to collaborate with and empower you to meet these challenges productively, become unstuck, and create lasting changes. I am passionate about working with adults experiencing a variety of concerns including ADHD, PTSD, anxiety, depression, issues of self-esteem, life transitions, relationship challenges, grief, and stress.
