Psychodynamic Therapists in Denver, CO

Thanks for visiting my page. I have discovered a common obstacle among clients is how they are highly self-critical with themselves and subsequently experience distress in their world. This process manifests into or intensifies symptoms (i.e. depression, anxiety, trauma, low self-worth, and/or relationship issues, etc). Using a relational approach, I work to help clients build self-awareness, add language to their past experiences that impact their present, and build skills to cope. My intention is to help you experience long-term well-being where we not only treat the symptoms, but also explore the root of your concerns.

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.

I utilize a relational, humanistic and psychodynamic approach in working with clients. I seek to create the safety of a mutually satisfying relationship whereby clients feel empowered and energized to live their "best" life. I enjoy working with individuals who are seeking personal growth and relationship enhancement. I bring the wisdom of 30+ years of clinical experience along with my own "lived life" including personal struggle and much healing.

Are you feeling depressed, anxious, or discouraged? Are you struggling with a lack of self-confidence? Have you tried therapy before but with little to no results? Hello, my name is George Joseph, a psychoanalytic therapist who relocated to Colorado from Florida, where I practiced for over twenty-five years. I have many years of training and experience in psychodynamic and psychoanalytic therapy.

Effective treatment happens in the context of a strong therapeutic relationship. I am a relationship driven therapist who uses a blend of modalities including psychodynamic , mindfulness, DBT and EMDR. Whether your goal is to live a life that feels more meaningful, to experience more joy, or to cope with life's difficulties in healthier ways, I will create a non-judgmental space in order to support and challenge you to reach your goals.

As a counselor, I believe that the therapeutic relationship is paramount and creating a safe space where clients feel comfortable and seen is my priority. I understand that making the decision to come to therapy can often be difficult. I believe that you are the expert on your own life, and it is my role to provide guidance and encouragement as we make sense of your story. I will support you with care and intention as we move towards accomplishing your goals together.

I am a postdoctoral resident and Director of Testing Services offering therapy for adults and psychological assessment for people of all ages. I enjoy working with a variety of concerns and specialize in the treatment of (c)ptsd, phobias, panic, OCD, and anxiety disorders. I am passionate about working with people of diverse genders and sexualities, including those in polyamorous/non-monogamous relationships. I strive to create a space that is body, kink, and sex positive. I am able to provide assessments to receive gender affirming care, and offer testing for ADHD, ASD, learning disabilities, and complex personality/mood concerns.

Therapy is about developing a new kind of relationship with one's experience. Much of our pain, suffering, and struggle stem from resisting the experience, judging it, and denying it. My work is dedicated to helping you embrace the challenges and find meaning in them by helping you slow down, enter the experience, and discover your potent spark. We have our answers within and by looking inside, our suffering finds meaning and transformation, our vision finds clarity and awakening.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over 27 years of experience. My areas of expertise include depression, anxiety, panic, trauma, eating disorders, self-injury, relationship issues and identity development. I primarily work with adolescents and adults providing individual, family and couples psychotherapy. All of my training and clinical work is grounded in evidenced-based research. I am trained in Mindfulness-Based Therapies, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), EMDR Level-II, Exposure Therapy, and the Safe Alternatives approach.

I view therapy as a collaborative, interactive process that can powerfully foster change and promote repair. I enjoy helping individuals understand themes that echo through their lives, broaden their sense of self, build emotional flexibility, and develop meaningful relationships. I work to foster curiosity and empower individuals to develop authenticity, autonomy, and self-compassion. I also strive to playfully challenge unproductive beliefs and explore the function of behaviors. I received my master's degree in 2009 and PsyD in 2012 from the University of Denver.

I love working with adults who are curious about themselves and who are ready to look at their past, including any trauma that has impacted their life. I am trained in EMDR which is a powerful treatment modality that helps process traumatic or distressing events and memories. I use assessments that have been validated and researched to ensure that I understand what you are going through. As we work together, I will ask about what is working best for you and will tailor my approach as needed. Please note: this Psychology Today Profile is maintained by my employer, SKB Therapy.

While some approach therapy with a “corrective lens”, I endorse a holistic and relational approach that disentangles unwanted thoughts, behaviors and feelings and supports your authoring of new and empowering self-narratives. Through compassion, attunement, and mutuality, I hope to create an affirming realm to tend to harmful experiences and promote movement towards your goals & wellbeing. I am passionate about working with adults, adolescents, and couples to address anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship problems, grief, life adjustments, body image, and other concerns. I affirm all gender, sexual, and cultural identities.

I am the owner of Pollema Counseling Center and I am passionate about facilitating healing to create a culture of health and well-being in our community. The practice also has additional therapists who offer affordable counseling services. Each client will come to therapy with different goals and it is our job to meet each client where they are at. We strive to provide an empathetic, empowering non-judgmental and holistic therapy approach based on understanding the client’s point of view and shifting negative thought patterns to help clients live more fulfilling lives.

I am a Board-certified psychiatrist who has been practicing for 26 years. At the time of my residency, psychiatrists were trained in both psychotherapy and the use of medication when appropriate. I continue to believe that the combined use of these treatments by one caregiver is the best approach to helping people achieve their treatment goals. My approach is flexible but the focus of my training primarily involved psychodynamic psychotherapy as well as supportive psychotherapy. Currently, I am working only virtually via Facetime or Zoom or by phone but am hopeful that this will expand if that is preferred.

Life can be difficult at times. Every so often people need a safe environment to express their worries and frustrations.
