Optum Therapists in Lakewood, CO
When navigating life itself feels daunting, I recognize that embarking on the counseling journey can feel equally so. When you feel lost, stuck, anxious, alone, or exhausted – and you’re just trying to figure out how you can make it through – it takes a tremendous amount of courage to reach out for help. Knowing this, I want to honor your efforts and provide you with a supportive environment to pursue both resolution and healing.

My role and purpose is to help people find their freedom in order to find deep meaning in life and to love freely. The people I see often feel diminished and beaten down by many things including substance use disorders, shame put upon them by others, early childhood trauma and the grief associated with living. In my practice I help people learn skills and ways to cope with their individual issues so that they are able to live with the pain and not in it. I work with many modalities of treatment including Rapid Resolution Therapy used to treat trauma. I provide Acudetox to all my clients at every session for no additional fee.

“How did I end up here?” Maybe you’re starting over — a new town, the end of a relationship, or a desire for something more from life. Maybe you feel too burned out to take another step forward. Or maybe you feel like life is heading in reverse. Having lived in multiple cities across the U.S. and Europe, I know how overwhelming it is to navigate major, sudden, or unforeseen life transitions. These changes can make you feel lost or lonely. You may question your ability, your choices, or your very self.

Indigenous Art Therapy is Native owned and two-spirit operated. Hesci! My name is Merissa. As a queer, bi-cultural woman my approach is trauma informed and intersectional, focusing on compounded challenges such as cultural background, race, sexual orientation, and gender identity. We will also focus on family systems and attachment styles. Together we will work to change patterns and defense mechanisms that may no longer serve you. We will creatively bring unconscious material into awareness offering a more balanced relationship with your Self, while integrating parts of you that have been abandoned, neglected, or forgotten.

“I feel overwhelmed.” “I’m not sure how to stay connected with the people I care about.” “I’m worried I’m not enough.” Beginning therapy can feel uncertain, but it’s not something you have to face on your own. If these thoughts resonate with you, or if you’ve struggled with anxiety, depression, or trauma, I’m here to support you as you make sense of your experiences.
