Optum Therapists in Denver, CO

Using an integrated therapeutic approach informed by trauma-focused CBT, DBT, psychodynamic, and interpersonal theories we will work together to uncover and address challenging themes present within your life that are limiting your capacity to reach your fullest potential. Through processing your own unique story, I will support you in recognizing your individual strengths, healing from your past traumas, and noticing how harmful patterns have impacted your relationships. Together we will build your skills to better engage in your life authentically and intentionally.

I work with adults and teens seeking therapy for a variety of reasons. Maybe you're feeling disconnected, lost, or stressed. Maybe you’re feeling stuck and not sure why, but are ready for change. I am a firm believer that no one knows you better than you know yourself and that the relationship in therapy is more important than coping skills or worksheets. Life is never quite what we plan and we can all use a little support to get back on track.

My style is warm, real, and practical. Working with me in therapy means having a conversation, just two people talking together. I embrace humor and honesty in therapy. I balance helping you gain greater understanding of yourself with taking action, supporting your every step. I strive to provide the best services possible by helping you to feel deeply understood by considering all the aspects of your unique story and using therapeutic techniques that have been shown by research to be effective. I provide individual and group therapy as well as psychological evaluations (testing).

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with twenty years of experience helping others navigate life’s challenges. I am passionate about client-centered, practical collaboration that helps identify and develop strengths and healthy coping strategies. The majority of my career has been spent navigating complex health care systems and advocating for autonomy and dignity for seniors. As a life-long learner, I always strive to deepen my craft to best meet individuals where they are at and to create a space that fosters growth.

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.

Are you feeling overwhelmed with life's demands? Finding it hard to cope with daily stressors and life transitions? Struggling with issues related to trauma? I am a seasoned therapist with over 30 years of experience helping adult and adolescent clients address and recover from trauma, abuse, depression, anxiety and other challenges. I work with individuals using a strengths-based approach to assist in the process of change and growth and will meet you with unconditional positive regard and respect for your courage to begin the therapeutic process.

Do you feel alone in the world? Find it difficult to get out of bed? Have difficulty concentrating or remembering? Find yourself avoiding people? Do you sometimes find yourself panicky, with heart racing, can't breathe, palms sweaty, hands trembling? Do you use alcohol, drugs, pornography to cope? Rest assured, I will never judge you. I will accept you and what you are going through. I became a mental health professional to give people like you a safe, warm environment, where you don't have to feel so alone in the world. I am passionate about working with people like yourself, when your inner dialogue keeps you from enjoying life.

As a systemic thinker I love working with individuals, couples and families. My mission is to build a genuine connection with you so together we can collaboratively create a safe space that is nurturing and warm in nature. I strive to cultivate vulnerability and empowerment in my therapeutic office by fostering an authentic relationship. I would describe my therapeutic care to be grounded in compassion, empathy, and respect.

Hello, my name is Iuliana Petre, and I am a CO LPC (LPC.0015281), and a WA LMHC (HC 60620931). In 2013, I graduated from Antioch University Seattle in Seattle, WA, with a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. At my counseling practice, I offer talk therapy and EMDR. Every client I work with begins as a talk therapy client. Some choose to utilize only this modality. For other clients — for whom EMDR may be appropriate — we'll engage in a conversation about using this treatment technique, after we’ve established a secure therapeutic alliance.

With a combination of education, personal experience, and compassion, I help navigate the ups and downs of life with my clients. I believe in existing in the present moment as much as possible, self-advocacy, and joy. I am passionate about building resilience and being creative. My care is individualized according to your needs and goals. I am intentional about my own self-care by spending time with my loved ones and participating in adventures that include travel and trying new things which push me to go beyond my perceived abilities. I would love to be part of your mental wellness journey and am ready to support you.

Past traumatic experiences can significantly impact how we function in the present, affecting our relationships and overall sense of self. This can lead to feelings of disconnection, being stuck, or emotionally flooded. I aim to provide a safe space that encourages self-exploration for processing past wounds, ultimately leading to self-acceptance. Having worked in diverse settings such as schools, private practice, and the justice system, I understand that the human experience can be painful, and no one should have to endure this pain alone.

Do you ever feel stuck, as if there are barriers in life that you just can't seem to overcome? Sometimes it can feel like there are endless roadblocks, whether that be navigating difficulties in our daily routines, moving through big life transitions, or the same overwhelming thoughts and feelings coming up again and again. These feelings can impact our ability to have meaningful relationships, and it can be difficult to identify the source of the struggle or understand why it feels this way, especially when we are feeling overwhelmed and are trying to work through it alone.

I am passionate about the work I do and truly enjoy helping people cope with, and move forward from, the issues that lead them to counseling. I offer individual and family therapy to teens and adults. Specialties include: anxiety disorders, depression, bipolar depression, trauma, grief and loss, relationship problems, and life transitions. You can expect that in our work together I will provide compassionate, honest and effective feedback, education and skills coaching that supports attaining your goals. I believe in focusing on the strengths you already possess and solutions that will work.
