Whitian House offers: Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) Skills; Relapse Prevention Skills (DBT + RP material); male- and female -specific DVOMB-Domestic Violence classes; Strategies for Self Improvement and Change (SSC); Conflict Resolution for Recovery & Relapse Prevention (CRR); and Colorado State/OBH Licensed DUI Level II Education & Therapy.
I've been in the addictions / mental health (dual diagnosis) field for over 20 years in Colorado, and have been ‘clean’ 27 years (as of 9/1/93). I sincerely believe in clients' ability to make enduring change, after they have learned to identify and accept what's not working in their lives. I'm a very accessible and active therapist, and I offer specialized groups to meet clients' needs. Groups occur Monday through Saturday, depending on group assignment. Individual sessions are often a part of effective treatment planning, in addition to, or instead of, group format. Reasonable pricing.

Often, they struggle to find access to a service provider that can empathize with their lived experiences and who they can trust. I'm able to support LGBTQ people, women , disabled folks, and people of color, among other marginalized communities by providing a culturally affirming and empathetic space.

Life can be full of painful moments. My goal as a therapist is to assist in processing these moments, where the pain you experience does not have to result in further individual suffering and together, we can explore your journey to healing. The therapy process is an environment where one can examine patterns of behavior, communication styles, relationships, emotions and so much more with support of a trained clinician. With a mindful approach and a non-judgmental framework, I provide psychotherapy and art therapy for teens, young adults, adult women and men in the therapeutic setting.

Trauma has been defined as any experience that's beyond our ability to cope with or conceptualize. The aftermath of trauma often leaves us with strong emotions and behaviors that we cannot make sense of, which leads to self doubt, anxiety, depression and relationship issues. I enjoy working with motivated women focused on processing trauma and increasing insight into the root cause of unhelpful/unhealthy patterns and relationships in their lives. Exploring these difficult experiences through an attachment lens helps us understand and change unhelpful/unhealthy patterns in our lives.

Do you feel overwhelmed, disconnected or unmotivated? Have you noticed changes in how you're engaging in your life and want to make meaningful change? This year has been a challenge for all of us, on every level.

I believe therapy can help you identify and change patterns in your life that are not working and build insight and confidence in coping with these challenges. I am passionate about working with adolescents, young adults and adult women and provide an inclusive space to share.

Female Therapists

Does it matter what gender my therapist is?

In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.

Should I see a female therapist?

Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.

Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?

Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.

How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?

It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
