I do virtual therapy with clients here in Colorado. Most of my clients are seeking assistance in diminishing the stressors in their lives. Family relationships; grief/loss; difficulties with parenting or accepting parenting;
substance use
; crises of faith...all these problems are present in my practice. Most are looking for direction; someone to help sort through the problem and achieve resolution. They are distressed that they are at odds with family; concerned over the loss of control with substances; and some are wondering about their purpose in the world. These are the people with whom I enjoy working.

I also speak decent Spanish and work with clients ages 4 and up. If you prefer nonverbal therapy over talk, I employ Jungian Sandplay Therapy and Expressive Arts. Since we're a non-profit, we strive to serve people of all socio-economic levels and offer rates based on ability to pay.

New Possibilities Counseling
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, NCC, LPC

I have several years experience working with clients dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns,
substance use
, and addictive behaviors.
My clients are looking for connection to themselves and others. Their current strategies to get what they want just do not seem to be getting the desired results. Ego death is the paradoxical intervention I teach my clients. When the ego dies, the true Self can finally be free from internal pressures to "try harder & to be better." You are already perfect the way you are, but perhaps you are having difficulty seeing it in yourself. Marijuana and psychedelic assisted therapy has proven to be helpful for many of my clients. I do not provide any entheogenic substances. Clients work at their level of comfort in accordance with all laws.

Hi name is Justien, she/her/hers, and I am the owner of Soothing Sands Therapy, LLC. I specialize in working with children, adolescents and young adults. I am fascinated with how the brain works finding ways to make the growth process go as smoothly as possible. It is because of my interest in brain development that I have found alternative ways to do therapy other than talking. When we think about adolescent and adolescent years, we just want to survive it but my passion is to help others not only get through it, but thrive through those years. I am also available to provide supervision to individuals in candidacy.

The world can be a tough place to navigate and you don't need to feel alone while doing so! I enjoy working with persons from adolescence to adulthood who are interested in exploring and confronting various barriers and emotions that may be negatively impacting their lives. I pride myself in being able to help my clients explore their problematic behaviors and work towards achieving their own individual goals for therapy. Once gaining further insight and self understanding, my hope for my clients is for them to understand their triggers, gain the tools to manage these, and continue to work towards achieving their personal goals.

What type of Lakewood mental health professional is right for me?
While most types of therapy have a lot in common, they also fall into clusters that share core features, such as cognitive therapies or psychodynamic approaches. It is important to seek someone who practices evidence-based therapy, meaning one or more forms of treatment that have been scientifically evaluated and tested, and demonstrate consistent improvement for a majority of patients.
If you are unsure about choosing the right therapist or psychologist, it might be useful to first learn more about therapy types and modalities.
