Therapists in Erie, CO

Here at Uncharted Traveler Counseling (UTC) we understand that life has a way of making it difficult for us to see a way forward. These are the moments when we want there to be a charted path, and that is what UTC is here for. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, life transitions, trauma, or any other life experiences, we are here to create a safe space for you to explore all the thoughts, behaviors, and emotions you are experiencing. We pride ourselves on our ability to work with you in a collaborative, supportive, and encouraging way.

The desire to be connected to others is innate, and yet we sometimes find ourselves alone, hopeless, sad, scared, and angry. I believe that being connected to ourselves and others is part of the human experience, and recovery from symptoms that interrupt our ability to live our lives to the fullest is possible. I have over 20 years of experience working with individuals who struggle with issues related to depression, anxiety, trauma and addiction. I believe change and insight are possible, and freedom from pain and suffering is attainable.

Have you ever felt like traditional talk therapy, while helpful, just doesn't resonate with you? Maybe the idea of sitting in an office with a stranger staring at you makes you feel uncomfortable or even anxious? Perhaps the environment you feel most comfortable in is the outdoors, out under the open space with the natural environment available to you. If any of these scenarios feel like they could potentially be true for you, perhaps equine facilitated psychotherapy could be a therapeutic fit. EFP is an experiential form of therapy which invites equine partners into a transformative relationship between client and therapist.

I am currently offering Individual, Family, and Group Therapy. My Individual Therapy work focuses on issues such as Depression, Anxiety, Grief, Trauma, Mood Issues, and others. I offer EMDR treatment which is very effective in treating PTSD symptoms and treatment-resistant mood issues. My Group Therapy programs include Wilderness Therapy Programs and, newly introduced groups which focus on RPG (role-playing game)/Game Therapy. My RPG Groups focus on social skills, impulse control, and collaborative story-telling. I am currently accepting new clients for Teen and Adult groups.

My clients want to become their best selves. To work with their issues directly to enable themselves to be fully present and expressed in the world. I want clients who want to know how they themselves work. I love to use psycho-education to help the client be their own best advocate for themselves.

There are times in our life when growth looks confusing, and we can develop unpleasant symptoms or maladaptive coping skills. We all go through phases in our lives, and I think that sometimes we benefit from help navigating the temporary situations. I provide cognitive behavioral therapy, and brief, solution focused counseling when you need some extra help. Some of my clients I have seen for years, and others see me as they would their medical provider, when issues arise. My hope is to help you successfully process your thoughts and feelings and discuss alternative choices or behavior.

I know it's difficult to find a therapist with all the choices in front of you so I’d like to take a moment and encourage you in your search. There is hope, support, and the potential for things to improve. It may be overwhelming in this moment, but just the fact that you are searching through profiles on Psychology Today tells me that you have the desire and the ability to work towards positive change.

As a hypnotherapist I work mostly with clients who want to change unwanted behaviors like quitting smoking and losing weight. Presently, I have trained in a program called Virtual Gastric Band which is using the mind to help constrict the amount and type of food ingested. In addition I am using a highly successful method to support people to stop smoking. Several other areas I work with are Phobias, Memory, relaxation, self-esteem, grief and many more.

Whether you need someone to listen, a fresh perspective, or support in achieving mental health goals, I offer person-centered therapeutic services. I work with individuals and families impacted by trauma, addressing issues like self-esteem, relationships, anxiety, and depression. Using your strengths, we'll overcome barriers, creating a mindful and empowering space for you to live authentically.

I am a licensed counseling psychologist and I view my purpose in therapy as providing insight and perspective, responding compassionately to concerns, and integrating a sense of humor. I strive to help people resolve their current problems in a way that also gives them the ability to deal with stressors in the future.

My passion, since I was a child, has always been with working with people of all ages, and helping them form healthy relationships with themselves and others. While I have spent years working with emotionally challenged children, tired and exhausted parents, at risk teenagers in both the UK as well as in the US, my goal is to continue providing supportive and therapeutic approaches while also teaching skills and strategies to deal with pressure and stressful situations in life.

Are you feeling disconnected from yourself or your relationship? I can help! I enjoy working with and empowering adolescents, couples, and the elderly to overcome obstacles and process through trauma that impacts growth. I also use qEEG Neurofeedback to address the struggles associated with ADHD, PTSD, anxiety, depression, autism, and behavioral issues in children and adults. Neurofeedback is a non-invasive treatment modality and changes are noticed faster than with a pharmacological approach.

Welcome! I am Timothy Gartz, MSW Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Mesa, Arizona.

Now offering Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) for depression, anxiety and trauma. The number one thing I offer my clients is a safe, non-judgmental, and non-shaming relationship, where you feel understood and you get relief! Without that, any therapy will fail. I work with you to understand what is underneath the deep feelings that bring you to therapy. My clients would say that I build trust fast and they know they are loved. Some of my specialties over a decade of practice include: Deep work for the individual.

Stepping out of your comfort zone can be a difficult experience. In order to grow we must take that leap. My role is to join individuals taking those risks and create a safe place to explore the possibilities. My approach can help people develop new insights into themselves by healing trauma and recognizing their inherent strengths. Using their own strengths people grow confidence to be their true self. I specialize in working with athletes, first responders, and survivors of disaster, but I am open to working with anyone wanting to improve their mental health and/or heal from their trauma.
