Cindy L Wells
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Denver, CO 80206
I believe that the relationship between the therapist and client is fundamental in that it provides a safe and supportive framework for the individual to grow, explore, develop and heal.
My work and life experience have led to a passion for partnering with persons dealing with grief, loss and life transitions. We may find ourselves surrounded by persons that struggle to be present and supportive during such times. Even well intentioned individuals sometimes want us to "get on with life."

As a business and personal coach and as a therapist, I help my clients improve their business and personal relationships and efficacy by reconnecting with their values, vision, and passion in life.
Transpersonal counseling is a holistic way of seeing a person and the problems they are trying to heal, and encompasses spiritual development throughout the course of a person's life and therapy process. Transpersonal counseling combines Eastern and Western psychology elements to aid a client's healing process, and sees the whole person and their unique needs. The transpersonal approach fosters the development of one's authentic self by expanding focus beyond the individual to the wider elements of experience.

Denver, CO 80218
I work with clients who are grieving a variety of losses, from the loss of a loved one to death, to grief due to family estrangement, to divorce or the loss of a significant relationship.
You wake up each day and it hits you again. You’ve entered a new reality: one you would do anything to escape. You've lost something or someone that made life make sense. Maybe you've experienced a difficult break-up. Been laid off from a career you thought you'd be in until retirement. Maybe you're struggling with your health. Or maybe someone you love has died. Either way, you don't know where to go from here. It doesn't feel like the people in your life to whom you turn for support understand what you're going through. You might worry they have too much going on in their own lives.

Christopher Loeffler
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW
Denver, CO 80203
Moving from work with victims and perpetrators to couples and individuals, over thirty years, I have pioneered the EMANCIPATION PROCESS.
Today's confused, often over-stimulating times can be depressing, certainly anxiety provoking. Core questions surface. Who am I? My "image" aka my socially acceptable self? Yes, but much more. How do I find out? Become the most creative, productive individual I can be? How do I get beyond the apathy and life's daily frustrations, step into the fire of my meant-to-be self? A "foray" is an excursion into the unknown, a stretch and reach for the new and undiscovered. Employing "emotional courage" as the fulcrum, we work hard together to make recovery and growth the adventures they are meant to be.

Relationship Issues Therapists
What types of relationship issues can therapists help with?
Therapists who specialize in relationships work with individuals, couples, and families on a wide range of issues. Common concerns include communication problems, infidelity, intimacy difficulties, and navigating major life transitions such as marriage, parenthood, or caregiving. Family therapists may also address parent–child conflict, sibling rivalry, or other complex family dynamics.

What are the different types of therapy for relationship issues?
Relationship issues can be addressed through different types of therapy depending on whether you’re seeking help as an individual, couple, or family. In individual therapy, the focus is often on helping an individual understand how their own patterns, attachment style, and past experiences may be shaping their current relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), attachment therapy, and Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) are three common forms of individual treatment that can help individuals understand their current relationship dynamics and improve their relationship quality. Couples therapy often uses other forms of evidence-based treatment, such as Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) or the Gottman Method. Rather than focusing on the individual, these approaches focus on improving communication, rebuilding trust, and strengthening emotional bonds between individuals in a relationship. Similarly, family therapy often focuses on communication but also examines how larger-scale dynamics—such as how parenting styles, generational differences, or sibling roles—may shape family relationships.

What actually happens in a therapy session for relationship issues?
The structure of a session depends on whether therapy involves one person or multiple people. In individual sessions, the focus may be on exploring personal patterns, role-playing difficult conversations, practicing listening skills, or setting goals for handling conflict. In couples or family sessions, each person is encouraged to share their perspective while the therapist helps uncover underlying emotions, highlight unhelpful interaction patterns, and guide more constructive communication.

How can I find an effective relationship therapist?
Finding a therapist who is a good fit for your needs, either for individual, couples, or family therapy, is critical to ensure effective therapy. Psychology Today’s online directory makes it easy to search for therapists who specialize in relationship issues, as well as related topics like marriage counseling. The platform offers filters to help you find a provider who fits your needs, such as gender, location, and fees. While the Psychology Today directory also offers the ability to filter by insurance type, it’s important to note that insurance may not cover many types of relationship therapy, such as couples counseling, so it’s important to inquire with your insurance plan about specific coverage details if intending to use insurance for therapy.
