Parenting Therapists in Lafayette, CO

Parenthood offers a perfect opportunity to re-pattern old traumas, triggers and response patterns so that one can be more connected, attuned and loving with their children and themselves. If you are willing to look inside and listen, parenting can provide a tremendous opportunity for personal growth and empowerment. I help women create more space to do the things they love and lose the "mom-guilt." I work with women and couples who struggle with feeling overwhelmed in their role as parents and feel like they have lost a sense of who they are and what they want. Sometimes this looks like guilt, anxiety, stress and depression.

I am licensed in CO and NY, and I offer remote therapy in both states, with an in-person option in CO. Parenting is the hardest and most important job out there! Every parent child relationship is unique. I offer individualized therapeutic support for all families in any stage of their parenting journey including: expecting, post-partum, and those in the throes of navigating their little ones' big feelings and behaviors. Parenthood can be a source of great delight as well as bring up past traumas, anxiety, and depression. I offer support and expertise to navigate these challenges.

Life can be stressful and sometimes we need extra tools and guidance along the way. In working together, we will focus on your past traumas, life stressors, or the way that you react to certain situations. We can explore your past family systems, current relationships, societal influences, and life changing experiences along the way to offer insight, perspective, and tools to meet your individual needs and goals. I have a vast array of experience both personally and professionally. I believe that everyone deserves someone to support them through challenging times and feel honored to be that person for clients.

Is your anxiety getting the best of you? Are you struggling to adjust to life after a divorce? Is your teenager acting out in disturbing ways? If you answered “yes” to any of the above, you’ve come to the right place. For the past 21 years, I’ve been providing counseling to children, teens, adults, and families. In addition, to help with anxiety and depression, I offer parenting coaching, as well as help for individuals and families who have recently gone through a divorce. I am also Certified in Brainspotting. I’m honored to say that I’ve won the Best of Louisville, Mental Health Services Award, for the past five years in a row.

Are you fed up with feeling stuck? Tired of feeling miserable or unsatisfied? Has your partner finally agreed to couples counseling? Are your parents or teenager driving you nuts? The thought of talking to stranger about your problems can be intimidating, so call me or e-mail me just to see if we're comfortable with each other. If we are, then schedule an appointment. I can help you get unstuck.

Or experiencing distressing symptoms from traumatic experience(s)? If so, I can help!

I create personalized, practical strategies for children and teens and assist parents in creating family dynamics that balance the needs of all family members.

Having challenges in your relationship(s)? If so, then I welcome you to the most common challenge of Being Human. I will help you to dissect the roots of your emotional struggles, relational patterns, and early family experiences in order for you to break free of the burdens you have carried for years that do not work in your life or relationships anymore. I enjoy working with adults and couples who face challenges with partnership, parenting issues and divorce. I also enjoy supporting all people realize their full potential and what is holding them back.

I know that children and teens have strengths along with concerning risk factors that may need attention. If you or your family members are experiencing difficulty with your relationships because of communication and problem-solving problems, please consider evidence-based individual or episodic family therapy. Research shows lasting results when parents and youth learn ways to enhance one another's relational skill-building together. I specialize in helping clients find ways to work through risks such as substance abuse, aggression, anxiety, mood swings, trauma, loss and grief, and school issues.

Hi, I'm Maddie! I have vast experience working with teenagers, young adults, and their families. I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Colorado and Doctor of Educational Leadership. I’ve been working with clients in community practices and with students in schools for the last 15 years. I believe that learning how to balance one’s social-emotional needs, academics/career, interests, and relationships, in conjunction with learning how to take care of your own health is a delicate walk. Supporting clients as they traverse this walk through every stage of life is my favorite part about my work.

Greetings and thanks for exploring my counseling practice. While the majority of my clients are between the ages of 5 and 15, I also work with older kids and adults on their own issues, parenting practices, stress and anxiety management, and more. Whether you are looking for an empathic ear or concrete coping strategies for yourself or your child, I use a strength-based and person-centered approach to psychotherapy. Please note that I do not accept any insurance payments, but instead accept cash, checks or digital currency (Venmo, e.g.).

I have over 20 years of experience as a social worker and therapist and over 12 as an art therapist. I have worked with children and families in a variety of settings and capacities. I started my career working in foster care and residential settings and have experience working with grief/loss, trauma, family discord, behavioral and emotional issues, and mood disorders. Since becoming a parent in 2006, I have a passion for working with parents, women and mothers as well as adolescents. I am able to engage individuals who may be uncomfortable with traditional talk therapy.

Take time to relax and be confident I can effectively serve your mental health needs through 13 years of experience working with ADHD, anxiety, substance abuse/addictions, parenting difficulties, depression, and relationship difficulties. In our sessions we will work collaboratively to help you feel better, more relaxed, to improve the quality of your life, and ultimately to increase your hope. I will be as practical as possible for your benefit. You should contact me if you are ready to experience deep and long-lasting change!

Are you frustrated by anxiety, overwhelm, worry, co-dependency or flashbacks? Are you plagued by guilt, "I'm not good enough," or comparing yourself to others? Does a yucky sense of disconnection gnaw at your insides? Healing and serenity are possible when you find the right support. Go ahead, show yourself that you matter right now by reaching out for support. It is a bold act of love and a demonstration of strength. You're invited to learn how to stop judging yourself, make choices that align with your insides, successfully navigate relationships, trust yourself and move into a heart-centered, peaceful life.

Life doesn’t always go according to plan, and transitions, illness, and trauma are typically not anticipated. Our lives have also been radically changed by the pandemic and social injustices. You may find yourself flooded with a range of thoughts, feelings, and unfamiliar or uncomfortable behaviors. Working together, we can explore strategies to address these concerns and develop greater connection and peace.

Please know that if you are struggling with mood, work, family, relationship, and/or parenting issues, you do NOT have to struggle alone. I have found that people often suffer "in silence" and that this can greatly reduce your ability to see viable options to problems. Likewise, sometimes people continue their life feeling chronically distressed and think this is "normal." Know that you are not alone and that counseling can help you create a better life by helping you create options and opportunities for solving life problems.

I believe the body-mind is meant to heal, and that difficulties in your life can be transformed into positive learning experiences, moving you toward more balance and harmony. My goal is to empower you to find your way to health through increased awareness, regulation of the nervous system, and cognitive-behavioral changes. I have a general practice and asssist in dealing with trauma and PTSD, attachment issues, anxiety and depression,spiritual growth, pre-marital counseling and relationship issues, parenting , grief, death and dying, menopause, transitions,spirituality, stress, and coping with illness.

These are difficult times. It's hard to find a place where you are seen and important! You matter. Your thoughts and perspectives are valuable. In thinking about your needs and your way of viewing the world, we will work together to define and clarify a path for your future. This new path will be a constant part of how we approach therapy together. By focusing on your needs and values we can find ways to heal your heart and mind with a sense of hope and health. I look forward to hearing from you and learning about your concerns as well as assisting you to make life fulfilling and meaningful.

Challenges are a part of life. How we meet those challenges - whether they are our partner relationships, parenting , work, or transitional - determines our contentment with ourselves and our interaction with people in our life. If you are interested in learning more effective skills to assist you in meeting life's challenges, i am excited to facilitate your journey. The journey may be difficult but is always worth the effort. We will utilize your skills, look at your goals, and together develop a plan for success.

You are unique, and have something valuable to express, offer, and live. We suffer when we feel cut off from this, when the circumstances and experiences of life do not reflect our deepest knowing of self. Depression, anxiety; feeling stuck, lost, dissatisfied with life.. addiction, unhealthy relationships, illness, loss.... These are all opportunities to learn to love oneself more fully; invitations to transform and heal. I help people restore clarity, connection, love, and get to the root of what blocks their full aliveness.
