I am a licensed professional counselor with 6+ years experience in trauma therapy. I work with adults going through transitions, grief and trauma. I have experience working with expats and immigrants experiencing rough landings in America as well as abroad. For the past 3 years, I have worked with individuals and families experiencing severe symptoms of trauma: dissociation, somatic symptoms resulting in paralysis and life-halting grief and depression.

Many of us are underinsured and can't afford mental health. We make it affordable and accessible to everyone. We have a variety of counselors with a multitude of specialties including PTSD, depression, mood, addictions, eating disorders, LGBTQ issues, intersecting faith and sexuality, also offer couples and family sessions. We believe in matching clients with their Therapeutic Fit, a clinician that has the knowledge and love for the specialty that the client is seeking. We can get you an intake in a week, no wait lists. We have 11 locations from Arvada to Littleton.

Laura Wade Jaster, MA, NCC, eRYT, CHT offers individual, couple, and occasionally group counseling. She draws from an experiential and depth-oriented psychology background with a holistic and somatic emphasis. Laura completed her counseling psychology degree and internship through Regis University, and is a certified Hakomi therapist through the Hakomi Institute. Hakomi integrates neuroscience and mindfulness with physical, emotional, and spiritual elements. In addition, she is a long time yoga practitioner and experienced yoga teacher, and Reiki Master.

I strive to empower my clients to be their most amazing, vibrant, and truest selves. It is normal to struggle and can also be exciting when you recognize you want to create something new in your life. We are not hard wired for change but we ARE innately predisposed to search for possibilities that support our values, goals, and dreams. I see my clients as creative, capable and whole. We live in a society that is focused on external “success” and appearance and this can create an internal chaos and disconnection from that which truly feeds the spirit. The good news is that we don’t have to live this way.

Hello and welcome! I work collaboratively with each client to help them heal from emotional wounds, engage more fully in the present, and work towards building a brighter future. I specialize in treating those who are struggling with trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship/family problems, and overall life stress. My approach assists clients in exploring the root of their problems, helping them build insight and implement tangible solutions. I approach each counseling session with compassion and empathy, offering a safe space where clients can thrive.

I believe that each client is the expert in his or her own life and that my job is to offer insights and techniques that "feel right" for the client, while providing the client a supportive, non-judgemental counseling relationship that fosters trust and personal growth. I use cognitive behavioral techniques - developing new ways of thinking about feelings and events, brief therapy - focusing on client strengths, and person centered therapy - where the client and I collaborate on counseling goals.

Having been in therapy myself with many different therapists over the years, I know how important it is to find someone you feel comfortable with--so you can be honest without feeling judged & do the hard work of laying bare your struggles and taking the risk of trying new ways of thinking and behaving. If you are struggling with how you habitually think and feel, painful events, or all of the above, I can help. With 15 years+ in mental health, I guide people in using the arts, mindfulness, and other practices to live with less suffering and more meaning.

Are you noticing more ups and downs with your mood and energy levels lately? Are you finding it challenging to set boundaries and navigate the new norms of social distancing? Or are you experiencing intense anxiety or panic, maybe for the first time in your life? If so, I can assure you that you're not alone. The COVID-19 crisis has a lot of us reeling. We are in uncertain times, but it's good to know that you don't have to suffer in isolation. Through our work together, you'Il gain helpful tools for coping. I am offering phone and video sessions during extended hours, to accommodate the new circumstances we've found ourselves in.

I believe that we are resilient beings that have the capacity to heal after experiencing adversity, loss, and trauma. I provide children and teens a safe and nurturing space to express themselves, identify and understand their emotions, and learn healthy coping strategies. I value close collaboration with parents and caregivers and provide coaching and feedback throughout your child’s therapeutic process.

Life is like a river, streaming us into a direction. There may be times where we choose which way the river will bend, and other times where we become subject to its flow. Do you feel a need to stream away from self doubt? A desire to gain coping skills to manage emotions and troubling thoughts? If you are reading this today, that tells me there is something in your life worth recognizing, acknowledging, or even changing. I help others work through their challenges, find their connection, and reignite their strengths. My goal is to walk beside you as a guide in your journey of self discovery and soul transformation.

Perhaps, life didn’t go the way that you thought it would or you hardly recognize and you and your partner’s relationship anymore. You know that there has to be a better answer than the way things are currently, but you don't know where to start. I’m here to help support you through the heartbreak while you create a new and healthier way of life. I am also trained in Prepare and Enrich for those looking for premarital therapy.

Feeling disconnected or having communication problems in your relationship? I can help you and your partner build better communication skills, manage and negotiate differences better, and reduce conflict.

We all face certain obstacles that stand in the way of having a fulfilling relationship. Individuals experiencing couple distress tend to have higher rates of work and health-related problems & have been found to greatly benefit from couple therapy. A changed relationship with the same partner can provide freedom and joy without the wrenching pain of hurting others or starting over! I specialize in Compassionate Communication skills, Relationship Enrichment, Mindful Partnerships, Conscious Dating, Pre-marital, self-expansion through relationship, and Discernment Counseling/Uncoupling (for those who want to end their relationship).

I truly want to come along side people who, "want to get well." People that are at a point in their lives that they are ready to show up, be real, authentic and genuine and do some good work. I utilize Animal Assisted Therapy with our therapy dog Rev. Hobbs who creates a safe environment and has been in over 1,400 sessions in his 6 years of life.

If you're reading this I want to encourage you in your search for a therapist, making that first call to a therapist is one of the most difficult and hopeful things you can do about your situation. My specialty areas are depression and addictions. I've been a practicing psychologist for over 24 years and I love the work. My focus in the last few years has shifted to a more spiritual orientation; this is due to working with people who are in recovery, and also relates to my own journey. Spiritual based psychotherapy is not about religion, but about keeping an open mind.

You don't have to feel this way. It can get better. Are you experiencing thoughts that are interfering with the life you want to live? Difficultly with the past that is hard to let go? Are you experiencing problems with your child's/teen's behavior or are concerned with their well being? Feeling stuck where you are in life or your relationships? These are areas that I can help you with by using a variety of techniques including group, online/video, and individual to best suit your needs.

I'm a Marriage and Family Therapist focused on Infant & Toddler Mental Health, whether the child is of average development or special needs, in single or multiple households. My mission is to guide parents of children ages 0-5 in uncovering their innate parenting powers to lead healthy, resilient, secure families with both confidence & serenity. Whereby, all parents create clarity and conscious choice in developing a family culture to raise children to their fullest potential in resilient families. Early relationships and parenting quality matter. Your baby's physical, social, emotional, behavioral, and brain development depend on it.

You want to stop the conflict and have life a little easier? It's possible. You may have enough grief for a lifetime. Grief flows but then it dissipates when shared. You can get different results from others and behave differently too. You may have had conflict in your childhood, and anxiety in adulthood, but you don't have to stay there. You want support, and will have that here, and I can gently listen, and help you see how you can change to get what you want. Life gets better when your relationships, work or personal, get better. I see couples and individuals, some who wonder if they may have an addiction, and those who suffer.

My central focus is relationships. I believe it is often from relationship change, stress, and disappointment, that many of our current struggles stem. We may have some wounds from our parents, grandparents, siblings, friends, etc. that began patterns in our way of relating to them and others. So, my primary focus is to build a healthy, authentic, and trustworthy relationship with my clients. Once this foundation is created, we can begin to look at those patterns to bring about awareness and eventually change. Change that will break those norms and create new ways to engage with the world.
