Therapists in Northglenn, CO

As a practicing psychotherapist since 1992, I have the honor of assisting clients with the emotional issues that create obstacles and/or roadblocks in all areas of their lives. My compassionate and caring approach is solution-focused and action-oriented, and I believe all clients have the capacity for change within themselves. Clients willing to engage in the emotion and thought based therapeutic process of correcting their actions toward more positive behavior changes achieve the desired outcome of eliminating those life obstacles and roadblocks, resulting in the ultimate therapy goal - better and greater happiness!

I base my practice on the belief that everyone is created equal and deserving of love, respect and acceptance. I believe that a person's thoughts effects everything that they do and how they feel, and changing thought processes improves lives. My approach is client centered and strengths based. I use a variety of therapeutic techniques to address many different issues such as anxiety, depression, family conflict, self esteem and identity.

I provide mental health care to a variety of individuals from children to adults with a focus on grief, loss, and working through life changes/challenges. My practice is person-centered, so the counselor (Michelle) follows the client (you). I may come to session with ideas for interventions or questions in mind, but these sessions are for you. I follow what you would like to use your sessions for, and work with you to create therapeutic goals. We may work on building coping skills, increasing self-esteem, or adapting to changes.

I bring two decades of experience as a licensed clinical social worker. I specialize in supporting both adults and teenagers through the intricate journey of complex trauma, ADHD, depression and anxiety. My approach is supportive, solution focused and strength based in combination with some cognitive behavioral therapy. Together, we can uncover paths to healing and renewed hope.

I enjoy working with couples and individuals in all walks of life. I work with couples to understand feeling/expressing love, improving communication and working on relationship skills. This can be for new relationships or long marriages with challenges. I am also a Licensed Addiction Counselor and work with individuals struggling with all forms of addiction; including alcohol, substances, pornography, sex, gambling, cigarettes, and electronics.

New Day New Beginnings, "Living in the moment through Mindfulness". Over the years I have assisted individuals of all ages as well as families manage and overcome life challenges by creating opportunity for growth and a brighter future.I have been devoted to providing skills and support for individuals and their families to regain hope and take steps towards long-term sustainable changes.

I believe that we all have the power to move from a place of struggle to strength. Life presents us all with challenges and struggles. Yet, in the face of turmoil we tend to withdraw or give in. Strength lies in our ability to look inward, especially in the worst phases of our lives. I specialize in working with trauma, depression, first responders, and victims of trauma. I will support any client in navigating the struggles of the mind; and using my own resiliency beliefs and empathic understanding, we will navigate your strengths together to find your internal ability to overcome.

I believe therapy is essential to understanding how our mental health can improve our everyday life. I take a holistic approach with each client to treat the whole person while using neuroscience to inform my work. I am passionate about building an inclusive and collaborative therapeutic environment to address daily challenges around stress, anxiety, trauma, and/or depressive thoughts. It is also important to address my clients’ identities through an antiracist and multicultural based approach to help create an equal relationship where one feels seen and heard.

You want to be more present in your life & relationships. I can help by co-creating a brave & safe space and validating you - especially when it feels like no one understands.

Life can feel heavy sometimes, you seem to be plodding along just trying to get through it, or worse, waking up filled with dread at what the day ahead will bring. You struggle to find anything to get excited about or look forward to. It could be that something intangible has shifted and you have lost your sense of hope, optimism, and enthusiasm. Or perhaps a transitional event has occurred; you left a job, changed careers, retired, divorced, your kids grew up and moved away, you experienced the loss of someone close to you, received a life altering medical diagnosis, or a caregiving role has consumed your life.

Your walk of life, race, sexuality, occupation, and relationship status all matter. They are (among other influences) parts of what has shaped your life and identity in the past and what you are currently experiencing. My goal is to understand those parts of you and how they impact what you might be going through now and what you hope for your future. My aim is to help you become whole and healthy and true to the real you. I find that most of my clients start therapy for depression, anxiety, family/ relationship problems, internal struggles and addiction.

Waking up every morning to take on your world is already challenging, even before tackling your mental health. It takes a lot of bravery to reach out for help and I want to honor your decision. You are no longer alone: when we work as a team, I will provide you with practical evidence-based techniques to own, overcome and conquer your challenges.

No matter the problem, I like to admonish and respect each person as an individual with their own set of ideals, beliefs and cultural values. I look forward to working with people from all backgrounds. In turn, each problem a person brings to the table is also unique and takes an eclectic approach based on the wider picture all the way to the details of whatever they are working on. I feel my job is to offer options to my clients with educated, research and experienced based information about the pros and cons of each choice. In this way I feel I can help people get unstuck and flourish in their life goals and dreams.

Let's work on your mental health together. I provide nonjudgmental and compassionate support, so you can feel heard, understood, and respected.

By exploring your thoughts and feelings in a caring environment, you can find the strength to make positive changes in your life. I am here to remind you to believe in yourself. I look forward to helping you to rediscover what an amazing person you are!

Hi there! I operate strongly with the belief that kindness and care for others goes a long way. I enjoy connecting with and helping others regardless of our differences. I am passionate about working with kids and with family preservation. I hope to be an advocate for a child when they may not otherwise have one. I aim to help families connect and better understand one another to create a more cohesive home environment. As an artist, I am especially passionate about using art as healing. Art can create a strong container for difficult emotions, and I believe you don’t have to be an artist to benefit from the power of art making!
