Family Therapy in Denver, CO

I have become very interested in the brain's functioning powers and how people can learn to re-wire neural networks, using strategies that can calm, relax, heighten a sense of personal control, diminish the power of old patterns, and strengthen healthy neural pathways. Research now shows that talking about what is causing tension, stress, or discomfort for you is good for your brain. It is good to find a therapist, a trusted friend or clergy worker to confide in and improve your life. I work with children of all ages, adult individuals, and couples and families who are having difficulties.

I have been in general practice for 25 years plus with a speciality in alcohol/ drug counseling and interventions.

I accept most major insurance carriers as well as self pays. I treat individuals, couples, children/adolescents and families.

I believe that emotional symptoms, such as anxiety and depression, are ways that our bodies and minds communicate with us. Through really listening and being present with you, I will help you explore these messages, gain a deeper understanding of yourself, and heal old wounds. This process is profound in creating change, allowing you to experience more peace within yourself, live with more passion and presence, and improve the quality of your relationships. I am a licensed psychologist with a doctorate in clinical psychology. I have experience working with individuals of all ages who are seeking to live more full and engaged lives.

I am a Certified Sex Therapist and Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Denver, Colorado.

I also love to use spirituality & mindfulness such as meditative & grounding techniques.

Are you under stress? Overwhelmed? Do you feel unable to move ahead in your life? Would you like to feel more effective with your children or in your marriage? Is your child struggling at home or at school? I have 25 years experience in individual , child and family counseling, as well as couples counseling. I work with issues, from life transitions ( divorce, loss ) to chronic mental illness, and trauma. Although I work from a cognitive behavioral base, I draw from many theoretical techniques, including psychodynamic,developmental, trauma recovery, EMDR, art therapy and others (we find what works best for you).

I am a strengths based therapist. I am interested in working with clients who are able to set their own agenda and goals. I am pragmatic, it is important for clients to be able to function in the here and now, therefore our work will aid you with how you are living your life today.

At times we can get lost in figuring out how to navigate the difficulties in our lives, leading to points of “stuckness” which can feel scary, painful, isolating, and defeating. If your curiosity has brought you here, I gently invite you to lean into that as this is the first step into unlocking what’s possible. I’m passionate about working with motivated individuals and couples who struggle with perfectionism, shame, depression, anxiety, past traumas, low confidence, life transitions, relationship and family conflict, infidelity, divorce, or separation.

For too long, mental well-being has been something that people were supposed to figure out for themselves. We're here to tell you that it really isn't necessary to go it alone. Our private practice is located near I-25 and Colorado Blvd. We utilize Play Therapy with children and teens in addition to working with adult individuals and families to create the empowerment to make choices that better fit the reality you envision for yourself.

Gretchen Koenig is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who earned her Master’s in Clinical Psychology from Chapman University, Orange.

She also helps clients dealing with mood disorders, anxiety and childhood trauma.

If you are like many of my clients, you might be at your wits end trying to “make” a relationship work, or maybe you're questioning if there’s any relationship left to save. You might want to rekindle lost feelings or deepen the connection you already have with your partner or other loved one. You might feel stuck in a pattern of unfulfilling relationships. You might be desperate for a solution to ongoing conflict in your family or other relationships. You might be looking for healing, balance, and a better understanding of who you are after a big loss or other major life change.

My practice and process are centered around the idea that everyone has struggles, and no one's struggles are greater than anyone else's. I often work with people who are struggling with depression, anxiety, grief, family dynamics, and PTSD. Thank you for considering me as a therapist with whom you may want to work. Starting therapy can be scary, but I have seen the benefits of it for countless people. Be proud of yourself for seeking guidance in a difficult time.

My approach to therapy allows clients the emotional space to examine situations without identifying as the problem themselves. It creates key exploratory distance between self and guilt or shame allowing for curiosity rather than judgment. I strive to elicit an experience that is empowering and illuminating. This is useful if you are seeking resources as a member of a couple or family where fear of blame is a common threat. The parents of my adolescent and young adult clients are relieved to work with someone who sees their unique loved one rather than diagnostics or labels.

Ashley believes some of life’s most difficult moments can be processed and healed through the therapeutic relationship.
