Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists in La Plata County, CO

I strive to meet people where they are. My idea client would be someone who wants to explore and address the challenges they are facing. I am open to all ages and experiences. I provide direct supportive listening and goal setting. My office is a safe place to explore feelings, fears and trauma. I enjoy helping first responders, children, teens and families. I have a passion for neuro-divergent challenges such as Autism, Developmental Delays and ADHD.

My role is to act as a guide toward discovering and developing resources to manage the complex issues occurring in life. We will explore strengths and develop skills for you to decrease discomfort and disturbances from trauma, grief, physical and sexual assault, anxiety, depression, disordered mood or thoughts. I will provide a space for compassion and empowerment to navigate a different path.

No one gets through life alone. No matter how much you subscribe to the "pull yourself up by your boot-straps" method, at a certain point, that breaks down and you're forced to ask for help. Maybe it’s the stress of daily living or difficult experiences from the past. Maybe it’s patterned behaviors you just can’t seem to change or overwhelming emotions. Whatever it is, your wellbeing and relationships are suffering and all you want to do is feel good, feel alive, and be happy. Simple, right?

I enjoy working with clients who have experienced difficult issues. This could be from issues like domestic violence, depression, anxiety, and personal trauma. I love seeing my clients grow past their trauma into thriving individuals.

Mariah has worked as an individual and family therapist for over 17 years supporting youth, young adults, and families through transformative therapeutic experiences. Mariah excels at helping people examine the many dimensions of their mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual health. She is known for her attunement and tenacious dedication to the evolving needs of all she works.

Everyone’s journey towards living a healthy, satisfying, and rewarding life looks different, and my approach to therapy is to support you in reaching your goals on your own terms. Because I don’t believe there is a “right” answer for healing from grief and trauma, feeling more positive or hopeful, less anxious, or improving relationships, I offer a variety of treatment approaches and together we adjust our approach to be the best fit for you.

At its core, psychotherapy is an interpersonal learning setting where a constantly evolving therapeutic relationship teaches us how to confront life’s challenges and stressors. I believe in co-creating a personal experience for each client to better understand and interpret emotions while developing a more adaptive life narrative; this increases self-awareness and ultimately moves clients toward transformation. I welcome clients with compassion, curiosity, and authenticity while encouraging clients to become better aware of their growth edges as they navigate toward balance, self-acceptance, healthy boundaries, and positive change.

I am passionate about supporting the well-being, balance and wholeness of each client. I believe every person deserves the space and opportunity to let their authentic selves flourish. I work with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, loss and grief, low self-esteem, phase of life issues, family and relationship challenges, and substance use. I work collaboratively and creatively, walking alongside you on your journey, to help you navigate life's challenges.

My role as a therapist is not independent, but a partnership. I am a collaborator and facilitate exploration as a means of helping to determine what best serves you and helping you to empower yourself to make desired changes. I understand that it can be awkward or stressful to make the call or take the step to talk to someone. I will do my best to help you feel safe and comfortable with me. Confidentiality is sacred. If you should find that I am not the therapist for you I will help you find someone who would be a better fit for your needs.

Many teens and adults struggle with relationships, anxiety, and depression. Negative thoughts and beliefs about self and the behaviors that follow can disrupt daily functioning and have a serious impact on self-esteem and problems at home, school, and work. Stress, life events, and emotional and mental health challenges can feel completely overwhelming. Life's challenges are hard to take on by yourself and I enjoy helping others move through their journey, discover their strengths, and reach their goals. I love partnering with my Therapy Dog, Rio, and my horses for experiential learning and psychotherapy.

If you are struggling with Anxiety, Depression, PTSD, Bipolar Disorder, or perhaps a generalized lack of meaning in your life, I am here to help.

Do you long for a more real and creative life, one that is true to who you are in your depths? Do you have gifts you want to cultivate and offer? Have you met with obstacles and need support? Or has something happened to sever the sense of meaning you once had? Are you suffering from anxiety, sadness, feelings of deficiency or alienation? Are there life changes challenging your sense of who you are, requiring a new view? Making a regular appointment with yourself, witnessed and guided by a safe, non-judgmental, compassionate professional can be a huge support for your healing, growth, and unfolding.

I'm glad you're here. I believe that success in therapy is all about trust and connection between therapist and the individual. I work from a collaborative, strength-based approach; assisting and supporting teens and adults to be the author of their own lives.

I have been a licensed psychologist in Durango, CO for over 20 years who provides counseling, testing, neurofeedback, and workshops. My approach is cognitive behavioral with special training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and pastoral counseling. I have a passion for empowering people to reach their goals and aspirations for a more meaningful and fulfilling life. I encourage people and organizations to identify their values and make choices that move their life in a direction consistent with those values. I am a speaker who uses the power of the spoken word to create change, motivate and inspire.

Many clients are confused and unsure where to begin on their path for change. Unresolved trauma, grief, guilt, abuse, negative memories, abandonment, betrayal by friends or family can create low self-esteem, unregulated emotions, relational issues, self-isolation, fear of trusting others or being hurt, loneliness, self-harm, feeling burdened by self, suicide ideation, addictive behavior to mask pain, depression, anxiety, co-dependency. I have often helped clients gain self-compassion, love, respect, clarity and confidence with the understanding it takes time and patience. I offer a warm, accepting approach in a pleasing safe space.

Hi! I am a certified Cognitive Behavioral Therapist with over 36 years of private practice. As such, I have a depth of experience and knowledge that cannot be taught.

I am eager to share the wisdom of my years of experience to help you find the healing you are looking for.

Greetings! My name is Kelsey Kolz I am an LPCC. I am a 10 year Air Force Veteran and take great pride in "Veterans helping Veterans". Do you struggle with symptoms related to depression, anxiety, relationship problems, grief/loss, and physical or emotional trauma? Has trauma from the past taken over your day-to-day life? Do you have disturbing thoughts, feelings, or dreams related to past events? Let's talk! I take a holistic approach, considering the cognitive, emotional and physical needs of each individual client in order to improve their overall well being.

Being a human is hard, and being alone in our suffering is unbearable. Living begins with connection. And that's where our work begins, too. If you choose to work with me, we'll use that connection to explore what's under the surface - to identify the unconscious drivers of your actions, some of which may be getting in the way of what you really want out of this one sweet life. Maybe your relationships don't work out the way you want, or maybe you're struggling to find your place in a career, or in community. Maybe you and your partner(s) aren't connecting the way you used to.

Have you arrived a place in life that is urging you to look inward? When we find ourselves in a cycle that is destructive, many facets of life can suffer. Whether we need to work on our relationships, our career, or building healthy habits, I find that much of what debilitates growth can be identified through analysis of our history and connecting these continued patterns in our present. If you desire to identify and break the cycles that are not serving you, I would be honored to join in that journey with you.
