Therapists in Grand Junction, CO

Sometimes when life feels overwhelming, or our relationships aren't working, or we're struggling to meet all of life's demands, we might start feeling like something is wrong with us. My clients tend to discover that they are not broken but adaptive. I believe that it is important for people to be heard and understood, and appreciate the "why" behind their feelings and actions.

I do my best to ensure that you or your teenager don't dread coming to counseling. As a previous "troubled youth" myself, I am well-aware of many of the issues that teens, adolescents, and young adults face. Throughout my experience in working with youth, adults, couples, and families, I have come to fully understand the importance of building healthy, trusting client/counselor relationships, regardless of the issue at hand. I look forward to joining you on your journey to freedom and wellness!

Do you envision a different life than the one you currently live? A life where you feel free and comfortable being who you are - where you believe in yourself and really own who you are - a life in which you can be authentically you? Do you often find yourself in one-sided relationships, where you give endlessly, yet you're not comfortable on the receiving end? Are you a natural caretaker? Overly responsible, conflict avoidant? Perfectionist? Low self-esteem? You desire for your life to be different, but maybe you're not sure where to start?

Here in beautiful Western Colorado, you want to be living your best life. Maybe stress, relationship issues, depression, anxiety, or past traumas are preventing you from living your life to its fullest potential. Or perhaps you need a non-judgmental individual to talk to about concerns, thoughts, or feelings that you have. It could be that you have been hurt by people you thought you could open up to, and now you are unwilling to share things with others in your life. I am here to help, to be there with you as you take steps towards living the life that you want. Let us work together to overcome the issues that you face.

Yes, it is crazy “out there” and sometimes the “crazy” within makes it difficult to discern where one ends and the other begins. “It’s overwhelming, I don’t know why…It wasn’t always like this.” “I find myself frozen in the middle of it all wondering where I fit in, what’s it all about?” “Why am I here?” “I don’t know who I am.” Let’s talk…using a variety of therapeutic approaches together we can move through and process the events, situations, experiences, etc. that have you immobilized. I believe in treating the whole person and employing different therapeutic modalities based on what aligns with you and your needs.

Hello friend. I am glad you are here. By supporting the health of our body and brain we can access the full abilities and power of our mind & being. My background in trauma psychology and biomedical sciences has led me to become a therapist who will support your physical being, sense of self, purpose in life, and your interpretation of the world, because they are all linked. My clients want to live a life that they command, to be kings and queens of their own fate, and to embody joy, ease, and grace.

People are complex and life is complicated - sometimes we can manage alone and sometimes we need additional support. I'm here for those times that lean towards support. You may feel overwhelmed, stuck, or even bored with your current situation. You may have an urgent concern and insufficient tools to deal with it. Or, you might not be quite so sure what the problem is exactly, but know something isn't right in your core or spirit. You are probably seeking to change your thoughts, emotions, behaviors, or beliefs in some meaningful way. By being here and looking for a therapist in the first place, you're taking a brave first step.

Taking a few new clients. In Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer there is the Island of Misfit Toys, filled with playthings that seek love but are rejected because they don’t function like traditional toys. Many people we work with feel the same way. They have beautiful personalities, but for one reason or another they just don’t “fit.” Sometimes that shows up through troubles at work or home. Sometimes people just can’t get out of bed each morning. Whatever your challenge, we want you to know you have a home. At Credo, we’ll help you embrace what is unique in you and navigate what often feels like a foreign world.

Attachment = connect to myself well or not. So, I can be connected well to others or not; in ways that works well for me and them or not work well at all. Attaching well to oneself can be one of the most mysterious part of life. Unless you choose to it slow down for a quite minute to become a lifelong learner in this journey it may evade you. We offer weekend or week-day intensives/learning vacations that will help you be mindfully aware of yourself and others in ways that help you cope and have resiliency in your personal and work life. And we make it more FUN than not. Because isn't life suppose to be more FUN than not? Smiles

Life comes with great potential for joy, growth, and connection. However, it also comes with the opportunity for pain, depression, isolation, and addiction. At times we feel stuck. I've felt stuck before. Maybe you feel stuck in the past and can't stop thinking about something(s) that happened. Perhaps you live in a constant state of anxiety, fear, or hopelessness, which makes hope and the strength to move forward hard to find. Clients I work with often feel stuck. They imagine a future where panic, depression, and compulsive behaviors are replaced with growth, finding safety in relationships, and authentic joy.

Most of us are looking for peace, with ourselves, in relationships and as we move through our world. In cultivating peace, we may seek relief from difficult emotions or may need support working through a loss or traumatic experience. Whether you are looking to manage depressive symptoms or anxiety, or you desire to cultivate a deeper relationship with yourself and others, knowing our own truth is key. The answer is in each of us; we may just need a little guidance in finding it. I deeply love the work of meeting people where they are and guiding & creatively companioning them into work that enables a richer, more peaceful life.
