Couples Counseling Therapists in Greeley, CO

I have 20 years of experience working with adults and adolescents who have experienced trauma as well as relationship and behavioral concerns. I enjoy working with adolescents, adults, and their families. I work collaboratively with my clients in overcoming life's challenges and learning to live happy and fulfilling lives.

Trauma blocks love and connection, love heals trauma and restores connection (Dr. Frank Anderson). Healing from trauma creates opportunities to experience love, connection and the goodness inherent in all of us. Counseling is a great way to access these inner resources to permanently heal emotional pain and suffering we all carry from past and current traumatic experiences. As a therapist and scholar with 20+ years of experience I understand we cannot change the past however, I firmly believe we can permanently heal from it.

My name is Kenneth Schell (He/Him/His) and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate (LPCC) using a person/client centered approach. My passion is helping individuals reach their true potential to help them live as authentically as possible. I am excited to work with anyone willing to commit to the therapeutic process in order to create positive change in their personal lives. I believe change occurs when someone wants and has the ability to recognize why it would be beneficial for them.

Hello! (: My practice is geared towards a holistic view of who you are. Our thoughts, feelings, actions and past events all come into play in our current lives. Sometimes they are difficult to handle alone. Are you ready to start the work and truly heal yourself? I hope so! I use a mixture of movement, inner child work, memory retrieval, journaling, meditation, and other techniques to truly understand and heal the individual Self. I also have extensive experience working with children, families, couples and difficult behaviors in youth. I work to support what is needed in the family or individually.

Life Change Counseling is about a person's right to live in autonomy and move past any situation that caused them to doubt, become shameful, or harbor guilt around their part. Recovery is a process of having someone genuine and non-judgmental to guide them through their thoughts leads to transformation. A client-centered approach in the therapeutic relationship involves self-actualization, empathy, and unconditional positive regard when practicing a person-centered approach. I believe Eclectic therapy isn't a specific type of therapy. The phrase describes the way many counselors work. They may begin therapy in one style and shift to

I believe that people do the best with what they have. Trauma, stress, anxiety and adverse life experiences can, at times, derail us from being our “best”. My role as a therapist is to help you reach your pinnacle. I always work from a strengths-based and client-centered focus. The client is the expert of their own life, but I serve as an agent for change to assist in developing, applying and supporting the therapeutic growth. I have experience with children, teenagers, young adults (up to age 35), couples and families.

For the last twenty three years I have provided services to individuals and couples with a broad range of mental health concerns. I like to avoid placing labels on people and tend to focus on presenting problems. I believe in helping people find their inner strengths and assist individuals in using those strengths to move toward recovery. I have experience in helping those with mood, anxiety, trauma, substance abuse and relationship problems, to supporting those struggling to cope with severe and persistent mental illness or psychotic issues.

Everyone is different and that's okay. We all struggle and that's okay. We all deal with difficult and hard times and sometimes we just need a little support. During our journey together we will travel those difficult areas in life while discovering those personal strengths you already possess. My hope is that through a strong relationship built on trust, understanding, and even a little humor we will find a level of healthy freedom. As we work together you may discover that your journey would best be traveled with someone else, so it is important you find someone who is a good fit for you.

Nothing in life has to be in vain- whether through opportunities for healing and growth, insights, and strengths development, the trials and tribulations that come against us can be transformed from weighing us down into stepping stones for moving forward through healing. Counseling offers a unique type of human interaction- unlike speaking with friends and family, the session is solely focused on you and helping you reach your goals in life. I offer a collaborative approach in treating you as the expert on yourself and your world while I use my expertise and training to assist you in reaching your goals.

MARRIAGE COUNSELING (office & video conference) that's SAFE and APPEALING for MEN. We specialize with couples wanting a "Man-Friendly" approach designed to help connect, grow, and solve the ongoing relational problems that continuously drain the love out of their relationships. We help you learn (and effectively use) the tools needed for effective communication and problem solving. Feeling Stuck? Feeling Blamed? Experiencing failure and shame? Anger? Unfortunately, regular counseling approaches often lead us men to feel more of the same, leading us to shut down even further (or get Angry)...

My number one priority is for my clients to feel comfortable. I take a laid-back approach that is fairly directive yet very empathic. Psychoeducation and self-esteem work are major parts of my practice as I utilize these tools to empower my clients. I also focus on coping skills and the relationship between thoughts, feelings and behaviors (CBT-focused). I like to be transparent with clients and increase their comfortability by letting my own personality shine through.

Are you the type of person who longs for connection and safety in your relationships, but ends up pushing those who care for you away? Often these behaviors are responses to childhood trauma. While these responses may have helped you survive your trauma in childhood, they are only causing you distress as an adult. If you have found your current way of coping with daily life or handling relationships is not working for you, I can help guide you in setting and achieving your goals of healthier communication, coping skills, and trust in your relationship .

I engage in personal reflection and critical thinking while developing a discerning mind and heart to serve those in need. I have a strong foundation of theoretical knowledge, practical counseling skills, and professional leadership abilities that prepared me to work with diverse populations in mental health counseling settings. My goal is to make a positive impact with an emphasis on social justice and advocacy in a changing society.
