Career Counseling Therapists in Louisville, CO

I am a Life and Career Coach in Boulder, CO. My practice is solutions-focused and founded on the principles of Positive Psychology, the scientific study of how people flourish - what makes them happy and successful and how to fill their lives with purpose, meaning, and peace. I help my clients find more meaning and pleasure in their work and personal life, navigate challenging transitions, find more meaningful work via a career change, increase their impact at work, and achieve a better work/life balance. Together, we'll create new levels of awareness of your untapped knowledge, strengths, and resources to spark positive change.

As a systemically-trained therapist, I believe that no person is an island. We all have so many people that influence every aspect of our lives, people who have helped shape us to be who we are today. In therapy, I want to hear about you, but I also want to hear about your people. I’m committed to taking the time we need to unravel who you really are. I care about you, and I care about what is weighing you down. In therapy, we will carefully unwrap painful memories, brave new ways of thinking, and spend some of the time laughing and connecting as human beings.

Life transitions and challenges offer us an opportunity to find greater clarity of purpose, more meaningful relationships, and increased confidence and personal gratification. Therapy is a transformative process to create positive momentum during shifts in our lives. For 20 years, I have helped individuals and couples face life challenges and successfully navigate life transitions. Though each person's path is unique, our shared goal is consistent: to move you closer to the life you want to lead. Working together we will: alleviate the immediate emotional distress, cultivate a greater sense of meaning, and increase your well-being, health, and prosperity.

Starting a journey in therapy can be an overwhelming decision. Are your struggling to take this leap? Dr. Lyons has a warm, grounded, and deeply knowledgeable approach to therapy that welcomes your needs and can help with transitions to positive and lasting results.

We all have a story! Sometimes, through life's ups and downs we need a new perspective and a way to navigate through change. I provide a safe and non-judgemental environment for my clients. I believe that my job as a therapist is to work in a partnership with clients in learning more about themselves, identifying barriers in their lives, and creating strategies and solutions on how to overcome them. There is not just one way to achieve personal happiness, and I will help each client navigate their own way to achieve their goals.

Simply put, I love being a part of one's journey toward his/hers greatest emotional health. I believe that all persons have unique tools to heal one's self. I see my role as a compassionate guide who, through effective inquiry, honesty, and our reflection upon the power of choice, can assist your transformation big or small. Whether you desire to improve your parenting skills, assist your struggling teen or clear your path to living more authentically, I would enjoy joining you along your journey toward your greatest health.

I help clients regain vision for their lives through a holistic approach considering their physical, emotional, intellectual, spiritual, and relational well-being. My approach has been described by clients and co-therapists as compassionate as well as practical. I believe that when people are able to live out of their strengths, they will experience a greater sense of purpose in life and in their relationships. My specialities are sexual issues and relational dynamics, life and career coaching, and trauma/grief. I have helped those suffering from sexual addictions, poor body image, anxiety, depression, anger, and attachment issues.

Welcome! As we work together I will honor your inherent healthiness. If you are experiencing PTSD, trauma, grief, loss, divorce, depression, anxiety, anger, denial, co-dependency, addictions, or need self-care and empowerment, you have choices. I can help you to be brave enough to weather personal storms, tender enough to be vulnerable, resilient enough to succeed, and confident enough to trust your own wisdom. Together we'll take a non-judgmental and honest look at "how and why" you do what you do, in order to inspire positive change. I invite you to explore the possibilities. Individuals and couples. (No insurance for couples)

Pressure to be perfect with food, people, job , achievements, sports, communication & appearance?

Let's create an overall improved view of food that will in turn benefit you in all areas of life! It is not uncommon to experience both trauma along with food and body struggles. Restoration IS possible - mind, body, heart and soul. Feel whole again...not holes in you, your relationships and your life.

As your therapist, my goal is to help you unearth what’s keeping you silenced, (re)connect to your inner wisdom, and forge a new path with more meaning, joy, and adventure. I believe in your unique wisdom and the aliveness that comes from its expression. Folks who come to me are untangling the impact of emotional and psychological abuse, struggling with maternal/parental wellness, or in need of care around career , identity, depression, anxiety, and more. People are often struggling with all that comes with early parenthood, boundaries, identity, toxic relationships, people pleasing, perfectionism, self-esteem, and coping skills.

Are you struggling with unexpected twists and turns of life? Need a quiet place to talk things over? The fact that you are seeking therapy shows that you want to shift how things are going. We can work together to figure out what is standing in your way of being your best self. There is tremendous value in being self-aware. It is often the first step towards feeling better and will help you feel more in control of your path. I look forward to hearing your story and helping you get to a place where you feel more confident and grounded.

I help people get unstuck. We all have areas of our lives where we seem to stay paralyzed. We experience resistance to moving forward toward how we really want to live. Perhaps you have been longing to get healthy, or change careers, or improve your relationship, or learn how to say no to reduce stress. Perhaps you need help to get clear on what it is you truly want and what next steps to take. I help clients identify and question the negative limiting beliefs that prevent us from following true desires and dreams.

Each stage of life presents us with its own distinct set of challenges and obstacles. I believe that when we learn how to properly direct our energies to meet and then overcome these challenges in our own unique way, we develop and mature towards greater well-being, growth, wholeness, and the freedom to be who we are. Sometimes it can feel too overwhelming, confusing, or painful to undertake such trials alone. Fortunately, it doesn’t have to be that way. Seeking support is an act of courage and the first step towards creating the life you deserve.

Do you find yourself struggling despite working hard to build the life you want? Excel in some areas of your life while you feel lost in others? Feeling stuck or uncertain about which direction to move in? I’m glad you’re here! It can be difficult to talk about our struggles, but often a relief too, because we realize we’re not alone and there is help available to us. I believe therapy can be a productive, yet healing process. If you're tired of repeating the same patterns, feeling lost or uncertain about an aspect of your life, or struggling in your relationships, I'm here to help you uncover your full potential.

Everyone has seasons in life where they are struggling and need help. I provide a supportive and nonjudgemental space to receive support and healing for anxiety, depression, life changes (such as divorce, birth, marriage, moving, new jobs), loss, trauma, emotional regulation, relationships problems and even general goal setting. I believe the key to life satisfaction is identifying your core values and then working to align your behaviors and decisions with those values.

Social skills are critically important to life success! If you are struggling with relationship issues, you likely know that social problems can interfere with success in many areas of life. I help adults, couples, children and families develop interpersonal skills essential for increased social-emotional competence, self-esteem, and productivity at work, home, and school.

Finding the right therapist can be a challenging task. Each practitioner offers different styles and theoretical approaches to assist you in reaching your goals. You have taken the first step and hopefully you will be able to determine if I am the right therapist to help you. One of the most important aspects of the therapy process is connecting with your therapist and feeling safe in the relationship. There are many ways a therapist can create this environment, but the best therapy style is the one that works best for you.

I work with teens 11 and older, as well as individuals, couples, and families, including co-parenting counseling. If your issues are relationship oriented (parent/child, between partners, co-parents, or family related issues), related to phase of life transitions or changes, such as marital crisis, separation, divorce, marriage, remarriage, blending a family, empty nest, co parenting challenges, retirement, and you're looking for a goal-oriented approach to figuring out a pathway through, I can help. We will pinpoint the issues, set goals, get a plan in place, and work together toward positive change.

Do you struggle in your relationships? Are you in the midst of lots of changes? Have you had a traumatic experience that is getting in the way of you living your life the way you want to? If any of these scenarios apply to you, I can help. I offer a direct, problem-solving behavioral approach and can help you learn to make lasting changes in your life.
