Adults Therapists in Fort Collins, CO

My name is Erin Thomas and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Northern Colorado. In therapy, every client is different and has differing needs for the healing process to occur. This is why the most important step to me in working with a client is establishing a trusting relationship at the beginning of therapy so that I can understand how to help in the most effective way. Connecting with others in a way that supports them through difficult times in their lives has been my passion and I continue to look for new ways to help those who struggle.

I have a personable style of working with people which allows them to quickly settle into the therapy process. I focus on helping others learn how to rely on their inner resources which will define their true personality and recognize the beliefs or behaviors which hold them back from their full potential. This opens up the process to build new skills, a stronger self esteem, regain self confidence and a real sense of direction. With a renewed sense of personal strength people build healthier, happier relationships with family, friends and coworkers, and pursue vocations with greater success.

I believe we are all capable of growth and wellness. My goal is to offer you a safe place to come and work on your most personal and inner self. My theoretical approach is client-centered, focusing on the counseling relationship and self-exploration. The counseling relationship is the most important part of the process to me because it models what unconditional acceptance and authenticity feels like. I offer a holistic perspective to wellness, working with you to consider self-care routines and mindfulness practices.

My teacher Brene Brown has said, "Owning our story and loving ourselves through the process is the bravest thing we will ever do." As a Psychologist with 35 + years in practice, I continue to study discoveries in neuroscience and human behavior, and while I'm glad of that, what I know is that counseling is about talking through the hard stuff - shame, blame, fear, anger, criticism, grief, forgiveness, and all the rest. Tell me your story in all of its messiness, and let's figure out what's to be done about it. I welcome adults 18 and up struggling with most of what life dishes up. I promise to be candid and compassionate.

I have been a therapist since 1996, I founded Shining Through Counseling because I I think everyone has a story to tell and needs support on their. journey to wellness and finding themselves on their own journey. Everyone's path looks different, some are straight and direct and others wind around and are more difficult. Either way, I am here to support and you along the journey and help you to heal and meet your goals and let your true self shine through. I do this by building a trusting relationship, and working together to address current and past issues, processing through them, building and strengthen coping skills and supports

I have been working in the mental health field for over 35 years. I started working in mental health facilities in my early 20's while I was in college. I have worked with adults and adolescents in all kinds of modalities, yet I seemed to focus more toward young people and their families with substance abuse problems. Some of that stems from having to deal with my own addictions in my late teens and finally getting clean and sober at 20. Thus, I understand what it is like to be overwhelmed by addiction and the need to engage in a recovery process.

Pornography, sexting, and sexual behavior problems are real, pervasive among both adults and teenagers, and, the destruction can be terrifying for you or your loved ones to confront. You are not alone, people recover. My clients begin to find meaning in themselves and start to meet their goals for long term success in all facets of their lives! Together, through authentic connection, challenging negative and old thought processes, and exploring your purposeful strengths, the heaviness of your situation will lighten. People find power and strength in their best selves! My approach is nonjudgmental, specialized, and compassionate.

I love working with a diversity of clients, from young adults to senior adults . People enter therapy for a variety of reasons; usually, a common factor is that they want some kind of growth, change, or relief from emotional pain. I enjoy working with clients who are willing to engage in the therapeutic process with as much commitment and honesty as they can. From there, we can clarify goals, glean important information from our own therapeutic relationship, and enjoy this deeply human process of questioning and relating with each other.

I currently specialize in providing evidence-based and trauma-focused psychotherapy to adults , couples, and teenagers in order to strengthen resiliency, promote stability in the home, and improve family functioning. I have extensive experience working with adults with depressive or anxiety issues, couples, behavioral issues, LGBT issues, and school-based issues. I work directly with individuals to ensure that even the most challenging or threatening behaviors can be managed.

I work with people of all ages and within many different relational dynamics. I support individuals (children/teens/ adults ), couples, and families of ALL diversities. The Lanterns’ Way was created to encompass the felt sense of the voyage we all take in finding our own unique light and Lanterns’ Way, inside the hardships of life; which can sometimes feel dark, lonely, and hopeless. I am passionate about working with those who are desiring to look at what has been hidden within themselves. I have been described as a therapist who “deep dives” and supports those in getting to the “root”.

Now Accepting New Clients - "My approach is sensitive and honest". I often feel privileged to be a counselor and I appreciate the difficulty most of us have asking for help even when we need it the most. I believe that we often feel "stuck" in our lives because we lack balance, clarity and serenity; all of which are hard to find in today's world. Most of us have what we need inside of us to transcend our experiences, however, a good therapist can assist us in getting where we want to be more quickly and safely. I have engaged in CBT, DBT and experiential modalities throughout my 25 plus year career.

Welcome to my website. My name is Julia Landis and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults in many settings and I have successfully treated a wide range of problems and concerns that arise in the field of mental health. I have worked as a therapist for more than twenty-five years and have provided individual, family, and couples counseling. I have worked with children and adolescents and their divorced parents experiencing difficulty due to parental loss and divorce. Early in my career I helped young adults change self-destructive behaviors including , substance abuse, and eating disorders.

I strive to ensure you feel safe, accepted, and heard from the moment you walk in. There is no problem “too small” for care, and no problem “too large” for healing. I am passionate about helping you recover, regain control of your life, and thrive, even after experiencing major transitions, stressors, and/or trauma. I understand that you’ve faced many different challenges throughout your life. I know how, sometimes, your stressors may overpower your ability to cope effectively. I'm here to help: my goal is to help you identify the areas of concern, approach them, understand them, find your strength, & make positive changes.

I am not currently accepting new clients! My mission is to help people find their joy through a positive process that makes the work you’re doing exciting, even when it's hard. My approach is founded on the belief that we’re all “rough drafts”: people in progress, with countless opportunities for new iterations. We are never done with this process. Instead, we hope to become comfortable with being “in process.” In this way, I give people a space to be imperfect while working toward a more authentic and intentional version of themselves. Together, we will work to find the you - and the joy - that has always been present and possible.

Are stress, anxiety, or depression turning you into someone you don't recognize anymore? For almost three decades I have been helping adults overcome the challenges keeping them from living with joy and purpose. Whether you are struggling with panic attacks, work pressures, relationship issues, addiction, depression or parenting-the change you desire is possible. I've helped many people, from different walks of life, live more vibrantly-fueled by personal growth and a commitment to well being.

To embark on any journey begins with a fork in the road. We all make a choice to begin a journey by taking that first step down a path less taken. Many times, it can be fraught with missteps and choices that lead to challenges that create strife, turmoil, doubt, and regret. Although the path less taken may seem like a more difficult journey, it is one worth pursuing. Every journey has challenges that are within and beyond our control. A choice that can lead you to the legacy you envision of renewal, growth and serenity.

With over 15 years of experience, working in the US and in Germany, I can offer several approaches to help you. I have a well rounded background having worked in addiction treatment centers, mental health centers and school settings. Together, we will collaborate and find what is most effective for you. Since 2000, I have helped people with many issues including: anxiety, depression, addiction, life transitions and relationships. If you are motivated to change, I will provide a safe place for you to develop insight and strategies to change.
