Substance Use Therapists in Durango, CO

Life can be challenging and sometimes difficult to navigate. Our struggles, whether it be emotional (worry, anxiety, depression) or behavioral (acting out and/or using substances), can greatly impact the quality of our lives. During our time together, I want to help you live beyond the symptoms you report and help you to connect to what matters most. It is said, “knowing what is important to us doesn’t really improve our lives but acting in line with what is important to us does.” If you are ready to develop clarity of purpose and meaning in your life, please contact me. My passion is to see you live a more meaningful life.

Marianne Crom is a Licensed Professional Counselor who has been practicing over 10 years. Her expertise is in providing EMDR therapy, working with couples and counseling for addictions. Much of her success is with helping adults who have experienced childhood sexual abuse or other forms of trauma, couples overcoming infidelity and families/individuals coping with addiction by learning how to lead a happy life. Clients have maintained sobriety and gone to college. Many have worked with co-occuring behavioral problems and found relief. Families have begun to understand the nature of addiction and how to cope with it.

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.

Relationship is key in this process you are exploring -- it is in our therapeutic relationship where Alchemy happens. Therapy is not only about your story - it is about you, the Storyteller (what does that mean? call me, I will be happy to illuminate). It is my heartfelt belief that Safety in the therapeutic relationship allows for increased self-awareness, for Transformation, and ultimately, for our Truest self to emerge, to Blossom – allowing you to more easefully and naturally live free (from.... fill in the blank) and empowered. I truly believe it takes Courage for us all to genuinely live from our most authentic place.

I have dedicated my career to helping teens manage anxiety and self-destructive tendencies, as well as working with young adults on managing issues that get in the way of "adulting." I help my clients to engage in a process of creating strategies around life's troubles.

Life can be hard, can’t it?! If life feels hard and you'd like a little more support, I may be a good fit for you. Whether your challenges are due to unexpected life challenges or transitions, anxiety, depression, self esteem, relationship issues, or substance abuse issues, I can help you work through that. My goal as a therapist is to support my clients in whatever life’s difficulty may be and to challenge them to grow and become a better and healthier version of themselves. I seek to understand what my client's individual goals and needs are and work together to feel better.

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. A lot of my clients struggle with everyday problems that affect many of us, but I specifically treat depression, anxiety, grief, and trauma, using Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, and a variety of approaches to talk therapy.

Do you ever feel like your past experiences, relationships, and losses have impacted your day to day life and how you relate to people? Knowing that there are tons of aspects that are pulling us down throughout life, I am here to explore those and help to decrease the severity of the ups and downs we experience daily. As a therapist I believe in the importance of building relationship, resilience, and supporting you in facing this world with the belief that you can thrive.

Psychotherapy is much more than the removal of symptoms. I help individuals embrace their lives! I work with adults, aging adults, and adolescents who may have symptoms of anxiety, depression, learning disorders, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorders, brain traumas, Autism spectrum disorders, PTSD and all emotional concerns. 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.

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.

No one gets through life alone. No matter how much you subscribe to the "pull yourself up by your boot-straps" method, at a certain point, that breaks down and you're forced to ask for help. I certainly would not be where I am today without the many people who have been there for me throughout my life. Now, more than ever, we need to lean on each other for support and connection.

A sense of well-being, our most basic state, can be restored. Habitual behaviors, reactions, and styles of thinking contribute to our suffering and create stress, depression, anxiety and inhibit the full enjoyment of life, especially if emotional needs have gone unmet or traumas have gotten in the way. Through sensitive application of specific tehniques, clarity and and ease can return. I offer a subsidy with a low copay for clients who qualify as well as a sliding fee to make therapy affordable.

Hey, my name is Amy and I've been a trauma therapist for over 10 years, but have been helping individuals/adolescents/couples/families/parents for over 25 years. I have a wide arrange of specialties and I will meet you wherever you are at. "I will always follow your lead."

14 years in practice. Experienced with adults,couples, adolescents, and families in crisis, transition, or experiencing disappointment with life. An important question I explore with clients is: How are the events in my life trying to expand me as a being? This is a very powerful question, much more so than, "Why me?" I draw from psychological theory, neuroscience, and spirituality/mindfulness to help re-frame old, unhealthy patterns and foster acceptance and compassion for self. This occurs in a safe and loving environment that enables clients to look more closely at their own behaviors and thought patterns without defensiveness.

My therapeutic approach is best described as a cognitive-behavioral-affective approach which utilizes a humanistic-existential base to strategically enact change through direct experience through a challenge. It is client-centered, collaborative, and strengths-based. I use an eclectic blend of modalities including humanistic, CBT/mindfulness, motivational interviewing, solution- focused, and existential psychology. I focus on personal rehabilitation, growth, development, and enhancement of an individual's physical, social and psychological well-being through the application of structured activities involving direct experience.

My ideal client is frustrated, angry, in despair. Life hasn’t worked out the way it was supposed to. (S)he lost herself somewhere long ago, left herself behind. Relationships are hard; those recurring patterns and reactive behavior keep interfering with connection, and self-esteem, and contentment, and vitality, and... A malaise has settled, along with a darkness. This inevitably leads to anxiety, depression, isolation, addiction, and despair. My clients know there must be more. But, where to begin? How to start?
