Couples Counseling Therapists in Fort Collins, CO

Sara Focht believes in breaking down the stigma of mental health and going to therapy. We often don’t learn what it means to be in a healthy relationship or how to cope with everything that life throws our way. Sara is committed to holding a safe space for you to build on your strengths and overcome barriers. She believes in harnessing your strengths and resiliency to help you reach your unique goals. She is here to help you navigate issues, build upon what is working, and offer tools to help you move forward.

Do you feel overwhelmed, unhappy, or anxious? Are you grieving a significant loss? Maybe you are struggling with food, disordered eating or a negative body image. Are you looking to improve your relationships so you feel more at ease and satisfied in your life? Perhaps you are experiencing health issues that are impacting how you feel about yourself. Life can be difficult and sometimes we need someone outside our circle to listen, understand and support us through these challenges. If you are looking to make a change, I would be honored to assist you along your journey.

Do you feel on edge or overwhelmed? I know how it feels to be anxious, your chest tightens, your heart pounds, nothing you do seems to slow your thoughts. Do you feel sad, lacking hope? Maybe you can't find the energy to do the things that once brought you joy. I don't want you to feel these ways any longer. I help people who struggle with anxiety, depression, and trauma heal and grow. A client-centered approach to counseling has been shown to help reduce the symptoms of anxiety and depression. I will help you make meaning of what is going on in your life. I am eager to help you take steps toward coping with these symptoms

Life is full of challenges for each and every one of us. In my 20 plus years of working as a Mental Health Care Professional I have learned that the hurdles we face ultimately help us to change and grow. I have worked with individuals and couples from all walks of life, coping with loss, relationship issues, life changing medical diagnosis, reproductive trauma, career challenges, anxiety, trauma and depression.

Are you feeling stuck, depressed, anxious, or unhappy with your relationships? Do you have a heartbreak you feel you might never overcome? Are you struggling to find the words that you feel, and when you do speak it’s misunderstood and not taken the way you meant it? Have you and your partner been fighting, and it just doesn’t feel like you can do anything right? Have you experienced infidelity or a toxic relationship ? If you answered yes to any of these questions, read on to learn how Haven Counseling can help you.

I see humans as being complex creatures who carry lots of context for their behaviors. Often, harmful dynamics in relationships are a side-effect of old, learned behavior. Whether it be an affair, toxic communication, or fear/apathy around sex, we will put a pin in the frustrating behavior together and instead dig into and heal the causes of the behavior. I am a good fit for you if you are willing to have unhelpful behaviors challenged in safe and constructive ways. My ideal clients are excited to learn about new opportunities for growth and change, while maintaining the parts of your story that bring pride and comfort

***Schedule full. Not accepting new clients at this time*** Life can be complicated for different reasons. Sometimes more support can help. At any age, life can be overwhelming, negative behaviors can persist, relationships trapped in hurtful patterns, or inner worlds caught in negative thinking which stretch our coping, and cause stress. In all this WE WANT TO FEEL BETTER! Counseling offers a private, confidential space to get help. It is an honor to listen and join in your life story. I work with adults/ couples /families/teens and children, listening to your goals to bring balance, health, wellness, peace and more happiness.

Life creates many obstacles and we do our best to provide balance in our lives. Families can be in need of more efficient structure and boundaries. Couples experience hurt and difficulties when attempting to communicate feelings and work through yesterday and today's problems. Individuals may find life difficult to manage when struggling with anxiety, depression, and/or mental illnesses. In addition, other relationship challenges, transitions, and past trauma can make finding balance even more difficult.

When life doesn't go as planned, you may feel you don't have the tools to cope with the unexpected. With compassion, kindness, and sometimes humor, I’ll help you move forward. I believe that every person or couple is unique with different presenting circumstances and that counseling is an individualized process. I work with children (ages 7 and up), teens, couples , and individuals on a variety of issues specializing in anxiety, abuse, and trauma.

Life often presents us with challenges and changes that can impact our mental health. When this happens, we may need both guidance and encouragement. Jennifer Townsend believes in providing a warm, safe, encouraging, and empowering space to process life’s challenges and changes. She invites clients to utilize their personal strengths as they navigate through those challenges and reach their goals. Jennifer feels honored to experience and be a part of the healing and growing process with her clients.

Have you ever thought of your Entire Life as being a web of relationships? I do. I see your life as having 4 Key Areas of Relationship : 1) With your SELF, 2) With OTHERS, 3) With local Community and the World, 4) And possibly, With Substances, or other Vices. When any 1 or more of these is stressful or out of balance, symptoms occur or worsen. Uncomfortable feelings of transition/change, anxiety, depression, grief, loss, internal or external conflict, feeling hopeless or stuck or angry, or alone, without support or solutions. The list goes on. It is my Mission to help you to feel rapid relief and to facilitate healing/change.

My work with couples is attachment based, assisting couples with communication, creating trust and deepening intimacy. My counseling approach is active and warm, based on best practices and over 25 years of clinical experience. I also specialize in trauma and I am certified in EMDR.

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.

Sometimes the best transitions in life can also be the hardest. Sometimes things don't go as planned and our vision of how things could be is drastically different from our reality. Life can get messy. Without the needed skills or support, maybe you have found yourself wondering how to move towards becoming the person you really want to be. It can happen.

Are you influenced by a strong inner critic telling you stories about yourself that don't match with who you want to be? Maybe you don't have anyone you trust with whom you can really talk. Perhaps you weren't taught adequate coping skills to deal with whatever is overwhelming you right now. If you don't know where to turn or what to do, why keep swimming in the same old muck? Let's meet and work out a plan to see how you can be truly yourself, a creative and functioning human being, capable of happiness, fulfilling relationships, finding meaning, letting go of past dysfunctional behaviors, and engaging in truly joyful living.
