Therapists for Teens in Timnath, CO

Hey, my name is Steph. If you’ve found my page - you’re looking for some who cares about your success as much as you do, someone you feel comfortable with, and someone you can trust to give you the knowledge and tools to take your life and wellness to the next level. In a nutshell, I’m a Colorado native, wife to a marine veteran and firefighter, co-responder, dog mom, and forensic therapist. It’s an honor to accompany someone on their journey to self-growth and it’s an opportunity I don’t take lightly.

I know that choosing a counselor or therapist is a very personal and individual process. With over 10 years of experience working with Children, Adults, Families, and Couples, I have seen my clients make significant changes to improve their lives and the lives of those they love. I feel honored to be a part of and to witness my clients growth and progress. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I believe deeply in the power of counseling and would be happy to meet with you to discuss your specific needs.

Life can be very difficult to handle. People can feel uncertain about choices and next steps. Sometimes the past interferes with the present. Depression and anxiety can cause people to know what they want and not find the strength to take the steps to get there. Relationships, jobs, and sexuality issues can be a source of discomfort in this ever-changing world. Medical issues can change life quickly and radically. Substances, like alcohol, and behaviors like gambling, can be difficult to cut down or stop. Being healthy and happy are the main goals often for therapy and that can look very different depending on the person.

My work is dedicated to helping people develop healthy and satisfying lives and relationships. Though it can be difficult to make the decision to begin psychotherapy, I have found that those who have sought my help have achieved valuable results. I offer confidential psychotherapy for individuals, couples and families. I have an expertise of working with clients dealing with issues of depression, anxiety and trauma, along with learning to cope with relationship issues and managing through difficult life transitions. I am committed to helping you receive the services best suited for you.

I am a Licensed Psychologist with a Masters in Social and Institutional Psychology and Doctorate in Psychology from the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. I enjoy helping families that are struggling with life challenges, postpartum mood and anxiety disorders, divorce and remarriage, relational issues, domestic violence, sexual abuse, drug dependency and abuse, stress, mood disorders, immigration, multicultural families, professional guidance, school adjustment and bullying.

Choosing a psychotherapist that fits your emotional needs and personal goals is an important decision. I am passionate to assist clients in their journey toward wholeness by utilizing evidence-based techniques including EMDR, IFS, Attachment and Family Systems. I have over 25 years of experience working with families, couples, parents, children, and individuals from diverse backgrounds. Areas of specialty include adoption and foster care, attachment and bonding, parenting, family and developmental transition issues, depression, anxiety, traumatic stress, and issues of faith and spirituality.

There are times when the best decision is to seek an outside, unbiased, professional to help renew balance in our lives. I see my role as that of a sounding board for options, with the final decision for action made by the client. Through empathetic questioning, acceptance and reframing we will discover the underlying reason for your current issue. My approach is supportive, with a focus on resolution. It is your time, your agenda. I work with adults and adolescents. I specialize in depression, anxiety, relationships and life transitions, although I work with a wide variety of other issues.

I have extensive experience working with depression, anxiety, ADHD, as well as other disorders. However, I take a relational perspective and don't define people by their symptoms. Stress, anxiety, depression, illness, can get in the way of the relationships we want. Even positive aspects of life, such as parenthood, education, and work can be obstacles to finding and maintaining close connection with others. I can help you learn to communicate more effectively, or get a handle on the anxiety or anger that hangs over everything you want to accomplish.

Therapy can be initially a very stressful undertaking, that may or should initiate change. I like to look at the positives of change and how that makes a person feel better about themselves and their outlook on life, now and in the future. In my 20 plus years of experience as a therapist I have found that the relationship between the client and therapist is most important for this to occur and for real healing to begin. I feel that my calm and excepting demeanor is a good fit for people to begin this process. It should be noted that I do not do marriage or couples therapy as my colleagues are a better fit and I prefer individuals

Although my experience lends itself to working with many different types of people, I specialize in working with girls and women on women's issues. Issues of specialty include: identity issues, self-mutilation, behavioral issues, sexual assault, trauma, eating disorders, coping skills, anxiety, and depression.

I have diverse clinical experience with children and their families in community settings, as well as in elementary and pre-school settings. I also have great experience with helping children navigate developmental disabilities, behavioral and mood disorders, divorce, separation, and stepfamily dynamics. I have worked with many children who have been exposed to trauma including, abuse, neglect, and domestic violence. I believe that involving the family, parents, and other primary caregivers in the therapeutic process provides the best possible resolution for the toughest challenges.
