Elders (65+) Therapists in Durango, CO

I work with adults, young adults and teens who find themselves in need of extra support, whether due to sudden life changes or longer term issues.

When you're ready to deal with trauma, you want to start as soon as possible. You've heard of PTSD. You think you might have it. You don't know what to do about it. Your sleep is an issue because you have nightmares. Even when you don't have nightmares, you don't feel rested in the morning. You avoid pieces and parts of your life because you fear being triggered by past trauma. When the stress increases in your life, you notice higher anxiety and scarier thoughts. You want to let go of the abuse and trauma of the past. Maybe you've heard about EMDR, but you don't know where to start.

Hearing people's stories is what I truly love to do. That is why I became a counselor. That is what I would want to spend my time doing even if it wasn't my career. Human beings are complex, that is true. And we are beautiful in endless ways, good when all is stripped away, and valuable beyond anything else in all of creation. To know and be known is one of the sweetest experiences of life. Along with being loved and securely belonging to other human beings. I hope my work gives these kind of gifts.

Feeling anxious and/or depressed? Flat and uninspired in your life? Are you just going through the motions without actually enjoying your life? Or maybe you have changes you want to make but have not been successful? Life is full of ups and downs, grief and loss, changes in relationships, and changes within ourselves, just to name a few, are all factors that complicate life, and sometimes make it hard to live our life to the fullest.

I'm particularly interested in working with clients who have PTSD and/or those in 12-step programs who need additional help to supplement their step work; who want to work with a therapist who understands and supports the 12-step approach.

Thank you for your interest in how I work. I derive a lot of meaning and personal satisfaction from helping people live with greater peace, joy, and fulfillment. I work with adults of all ages, including couples. I assist people in clearing away unnecessary negative layers that get in the way of living a more fulfilling and enjoyable life.

"Unprecedented" "Pandemic" "New Normal" Masks and COVID were uncommon terms prior to the past year. None of us could have imagined the significant changes and loss ahead of us as 2020 launched. Persons of all ages and communities are struggling with financial, occupational, educational and especially social challenges. While it appears the pandemic will be here with us for quite a while longer, we may feel like we've lost control of our own lives. We can; however, prevent long-term psychological damage. KidStuff Counseling, P.C. can help you support your children, family and self through these difficult days.

Hello! I believe we all want relief from hurt and pain, but do not always know how or where to find it. I have a strong passion to help you figure out the source of what is wrong, rather than just treat the symptoms. I work hard to help people see the link between past hurt and present pain.

Most of my clients were either not sure about therapy, or they had already had a bad experience with therapy in the past. I pride myself on giving a different kind of experience. I’m real, I show up fully, (I tend to swear a lot unless you tell me not to) I will never talk down to you or presume what is best for you. You’re in charge. My job is to listen, give feedback, and help you towards the goals that you set. Making that first call can be nerve-wracking, but that's generally the hardest part. (you can text me, if that's easier 970-903-3893) You can learn more about me at www.durangopsychotherapy.com

As a registered Naturopathic Doctor, I am interested in treating the whole person and discovering the underlying cause of imbalance or dis-ease. I address not only mental-emotional wellness, but the physical body as well. I provide safe, effective alternatives to medications for people who do not want to be on them or when they no longer work. If you have been through the medical model and are tired of not feeling heard or being offered treatments that don't work, there is a solution. I will customize a treatment plan to meet all of your individualized needs.

I have always been pulled towards topics that many in society do not want to talk about – sex, death, money, religion, addiction, and many others. I have seen what happens to individuals when they are left to struggle with these topics alone. Some feel guilt, fear, anxiety, depression, or just an overall sense that they are not allowed to be who they really are. My goal in therapy is to provide a safe space for individuals or those in relationship to talk about these topics and feelings. I work with them to develop the tools to grow into being confident, unashamed, and authentically themselves.

My role as a therapist is not independent, but a partnership. I am a collaborator and facilitate exploration as a means of helping to determine what best serves you and helping you to empower yourself to make desired changes. I understand that it can be awkward or stressful to make the call or take the step to talk to someone. I will do my best to help you feel safe and comfortable with me. Confidentiality is sacred. If you should find that I am not the therapist for you I will help you find someone who would be a better fit for your needs.

I offer clients a safe, supportive place to express their needs and listen with empathy and non-judgmental acceptance. I work collaboratively with clients on their journey toward self-discovery, positive change, and healing. I welcome individuals of all ages, including children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I have considerable experience in working with trauma, domestic violence, childhood abuse and neglect, depression, anxiety, parenting issues, co-parenting, reunification, suicide ideation, and low self-esteem.

I believe an excellent therapist meets every client where they’re at. Navigating this world with presence and grace is more accessible and meaningful with someone to help process your experiences. We all need someone to talk to sometimes, and I strive to create an integrated and unique safe space for each client to unfold their narratives, fears, hopes and discover their untapped resources. Many people grapple with traumatic stress. It can interfere with our lives, relationships, and overall well-being. Ignoring or suppressing it may be tempting but will only make it worse.

I believe we have everything we need to heal inside each one of us. I believe we all have the inherent strength and ability to thrive and will do so if given the right venue and treatment. The times when stress and traumas overwhelm us, we can forget our strengths, skills, and insight. We all deserve to have support to cultivate a safe and trusting space to reconnect with that innate inner wisdom. I seek to support individuals who have become overwhelmed in life and want to learn how to get unstuck, heal past pain, and embody their purpose to live an authentic, thriving life.

Do you long for a more real and creative life, one that is true to who you are in your depths? Do you have gifts you want to cultivate and offer? Have you met with obstacles and need support? Or has something happened to sever the sense of meaning you once had? Are you suffering from anxiety, sadness, feelings of deficiency or alienation? Are there life changes - chosen or not - challenging your sense of who you are, requiring a new view? Making a regular appointment with yourself, witnessed and guided by a safe, non-judgmental, compassionate professional can be a huge support for your healing, growth, and unfolding.
