Parenting Therapists in Lafayette, CO

Seeking therapy is not always an easy decision and I welcome the decision of my clients to pursue change, greater life satisfaction and resolution of troublesome behaviors or relationships. Each client is unique and brings their own story. As a psychologist I try to help them find meaningful change leading to a more satisfactory life. My clinical focus is interpersonal trauma which includes sexual abuse, PTSD, and relationship issues. I also work with anxiety, life transitions, and attachment issues.

At 2nd Star Counseling, our clinicians Kathryn Raley, NCC, LPC, RPT-S, ACS and Maggie Daggett, MA, LPCC offer individual therapy, adolescent therapy, play therapy, and family therapy.

Whether managing a life transition, addressing a relationship conflict, processing trauma or changing unwanted behavioral patterns, I work to help clients understand the root of the issue, develop tools necessary to meet these challenges, and take steps towards a healthier and more integrated life.

Hi there! My name is Sam. I am a trained person-centered therapist with 4 years of clinical experience working with clients of all ages. In my practice I use modalities and techniques including child-centered play therapy for children, along with talk therapy and expressive arts therapies for adolescents and adults. Depending on your needs, we may work on things like mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, communication techniques, as well as crisis and trauma healing. I have a wide range of experience working with various client concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, and life transitions.

I work with children, adolescents, families, and young adults on a range of issues, including depression, anxiety, behavioral problems, child sexual abuse, trauma related issues, issues related to adulting, divorce and adoption, as well as transitional challenges. I have been practicing since 1992, although I took some time off to raise our four children. I utilize play therapy techniques when working with children, as play is a powerful and therapeutic language for children. Generally, I approach treatment with sincerity, compassion and even humor to promote growth in a synergetic, trusting manner.

Are you wanting to make a change in your life? Do you find yourself feeling stuck and in the 'same old' loop? Procrastinating? Unmotivated? Playing small? Not doing what you need to do/would like to do but don't get why, or know what to do? If the answer is yes, I can help. I believe personal change is absolutely possible and I would love to help you achieve the change(s) you are seeking while also enjoying the process.

I am a Psychotherapist, Dance Movement Therapist and Life Coach. The methods I employ are informed by almost 20 years experience as an educator, advisor, dance teacher, choreographer and Special Ed teacher. I specialize in working with children, teenagers, and young adults suffering with anxiety, learning disabilities, ADHD, and mild depression. I also provide individualized support to parents. My goal is to get to know you and what you desire in life. From there, we can work together to co-create a path towards healing, growth, and inspiration for your journey ahead, that honors who you are within your intersectional identities.

My mission is to help teens, young adults, and families discover the wisdom within to succeed, thrive, and grow. Through mindfulness- and emotionally focused approaches, I provide a safe, non-judgmental space where connection and self-knowing lead to well-being, growth, and authentic expression.

As a relationship and marital therapist, my goal is to help you and your partner to rediscover the friendship, connection and passion that initially brought you together as a couple. By applying a set of simple, yet powerful communication techniques and helping you to design an individualized "relationship plan", we will work together to co-create the relationship of your dreams (a really awesome dream, not a nightmare). As a solution-focused therapist or life coach working with an individual, my goal is to help you realize strengths, uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating.

We at Venture Into Connection want to answer any questions you may have about our process, and we stress our commitment to providing a safe space for you to share your story.

I work with men, children, adolescents, college and Highly Sensitive People. With men, I specialize in increasing emotional intelligence and communication so they can enrich relationships with their loved ones that are struggling or can be better than it is. When working with children and adolescents, I specialize in anxiety, building coping and interpersonal skills, and healing through traumatic or confusing times and events. With Highly Sensitive People, I specialize in helping understand their world and how to interact with it, and provide tools to take their unique strengths and qualities for self-actualization.

My clients are often looking for something beyond skills, strategies and a diagnosis. I work best with people who are looking to really sort out what's going on in their lives, and who are interested in potent and lasting change. I also work specifically with people who are increasingly concerned about environmental issues or experience climate anxiety, grief or other feelings associated with environmental issues. As an avid outdoorsman and a Cross Country Ski instructor on weekends, I also frequently work with individuals from the climbing, skiing, mountaineering and other outdoor recreation communities.

I believe our relational experiences significantly impact our health and wellbeing, including the therapeutic relationship. When we feel less alone in our experiences of pain and distress, we can more easily connect to ourselves and others in a way that supports individual and collective health. Within a safe space, and through an attuned relationship with ourselves and others, we all have the power to tune into our instinct towards healing. I am passionate about walking beside my clients, undoing their aloneness, and have a strong sense of justice, advocating with passion for my clients.

I believe in the healing power of unconditional presence and consider each meeting with you an opportunity for deep listening, empathic connection and collaborative growth. I blend knowledge and training in mindfulness and transpersonal/somatic psychology, with intuitive guidance and spiritual support. I'll challenge you to connect with your innate wisdom, listen to your body, and fearlessly meet whatever is holding you back, so you can find the clarity to evolve beyond it.

I believe we make decisions based on the information available to us at the time. Our “information” comes from our interpretation of life experiences forming a narrative of who we are. When that narrative is no longer useful, no longer provides comfort, or no longer helps us cope, we may begin to experience symptoms of depression, anxiety, trauma, and/or addiction. My goal is to provide clients with a safe, non-judgmental space to explore how the past may be limiting enjoyment and fulfillment in life, identify coping strategies that are working and offer additional suggestions, and set goals that match the client’s desires.

As someone who is passionate about the journey of an individual in this crazy thing called life, I am so excited to be someone in your life that can walk alongside you and guide you the best I can. I believe that everyone’s pain matters, no matter how big or small, with an emphasis on eliminating the comparison of other individual’s pain. We all matter and are unique in our own ways, and I look forward to exploring your special gifts and unique purpose in life.

I am ready to support you on your journey to embrace change. I have extensive experience working with people from numerous different cultural backgrounds and am professional, nonjudgmental, honest, and trustworthy. I will meet you where you are at and support you throughout your journey. Invest in yourself!
