Therapists in Timnath, CO

Therapy is an investment in your personal transformation, so I commend you on taking the first step to a healthier, happier YOU. You deserve a safe and effective environment to support your successful growth; one we’ll create together based on acceptance, compassion, safety, and trust. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Clinical Hypnotherapist, I’ve helped hundreds of individuals, couples, and families with a wide range of life’s challenges including addictions, depression, anxiety, brain injuries, relationship struggles, abuse recovery, adolescent concerns, grief, and many of life’s other transitions and discoveries.

Serving Wyoming and Colorado, my practice aims to provide healing for the mind, body, and spirit. With the use of evidence based practices and over a decade of experience, we can pursue the positive life changes you are looking for. My approach to counseling includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and EMDR. Together we will create a treatment plan that is client centered, efficient and solution focused. Previous populations served include individuals, children, adolescents, couples, residentially placed, adjudicated, and cognitively impaired.

My job as a counselor is to help empower you and to work with you to find a solution to the problems you or your family are facing; whether it be anxiety, depression, or school/job related stressors, or you’re having relationship or family issues, I am here to help. I have worked with a wide variety of clients from the ages of 15 to 50 years old using individual and family therapy. Sometimes just having a judgement free place to talk can make all the difference when life stressors are impacting your daily functioning. I am offering tele-health at this time as well.

My name is Wren McKittrick. I guide individuals towards a path of autonomy and fulfillment in a way that enhances a person's power to find solutions to life's challenges. I am a therapist, a husband, and a father. I am Coloradan born and raised. Growing up playing sports, playing music with others, and practicing for many years as a therapist have reaffirmed for me that we all can grow and excel more when we're working with others. As your therapist, I am here to help coach and promote you in ways that bring out your best abilities and help make them shine.

As a seasoned board licensed psychotherapist, I have maintained a private practice primarily in Colorado for twenty-five years.

I work with adolescents and adults, individually, as couples, families, in groups and in workshops. I also specialize in the felt sense, emotional attachment, spirituality, wellness top to bottom, neurosciences, addictions, forensics. Please visit my site for more information.

As a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT), I have a heart for working with adults seeking recovery from sex and porn addiction. Notably, porn addiction has accelerated over the last 20 years because of the Internet. Typically, sex and porn addicts also experience compulsivity regarding drug and alcohol use. Fundamentally, people use sex or drugs to medicate against anxiety and depression resulting from traumas.

I view therapy as a very special place where we can have conversations that might not always happen in other areas in our life. As a specialist in trauma, stress, and anxiety I am certified to use evidence-based interventions such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and the Flash Technique to support my clients in achieving their goals. I have held roles as a therapist, caseworker, trainer, and consultant supporting my clients in navigating challenges in the wilderness, crises, forensic, long-term residential, and outpatient settings.

Depression, bi-polar, schizophrenia, and other mental health problems can distort the way we see ourselves and the world around us. If there ever comes a time when you feel your life is not worth living, know that your friends and family would NOT be better off without you, the world would NOT be better without you in it, your life is NOT a joke, and everyone who knows you would miss you! Happiness is possible- you just need to make it through one more day. I know this might be a bit heavy for some of you to relate to, or perhaps you do relate to it but feel guilt or shame for not being happy 24/7.

It can be difficult to take the first steps in changing things. I want to help make that easier for you. I work with individuals and couples to help explore the thoughts, feelings, and relationships that may not have been given proper attention, and help to make better sense/understanding of these in terms of how they influence the way we engage in life. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, loss and grief, conflict, parenting, work/school/life-transitions, or any number of issues, I'm here to hear your story, help you work through what's brought you to where you are now, and to help work towards where you want to be.

I have been working in the mental health field for over 40 years. I started working in mental health facilities in my early 20's while I was in college. I have worked with adults and adolescents in all kinds of modalities, yet I seemed to focus more toward young people and their families with substance abuse problems and anxiety. Some of that stems from having to deal with my own addictions in my late teens and finally getting clean and sober at age 20. Thus, I understand what it is like to be overwhelmed by addiction and the need to engage in a recovery process.

My ideal client is seeking clinical support in an effort to create a personally empowered path to long-term emotional wellness. Clients are given support to improve their understanding of the relationship between their experience and their mental wellness in addition to specific skills to improve this wellness. My style strongly supports a deep understanding of self through small steps taken toward personal goals on a daily basis. Together, we will work to both gain a deeper understanding of your ongoing needs and how you can utilize your personal strengths to overcome these with positivity over your lifetime.

If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, or strained relationships, you may desire change and healthier connections but feel stuck in negative patterns. I provide a safe space for you to process your experiences, gain new insights, and develop effective coping strategies. My goal is to empower you in your relationships with others and yourself as you work towards the positive outcomes and transformative growth you seek. If you are ready to invest in yourself and your wellbeing, I am here to support you in achieving your therapeutic goals.

*BETTER MEN, HUSBANDS & DADS* Sometimes it can feel like you've failed or haven't lived up to your loved ones (or even your own) expectations. Vulnerability can be hard, and because you're used to being the one to "fix" things, it seems there's no one who can understand or help you. You may not know what direction it takes to become the husband or father that you need to be, or maybe you know the direction but simply can't make it happen. You might feel alone, defeated, overwhelmed and just want to figure out how to make things better now.

Are you experiencing symptoms resulting from a traumatic incident? Are you struggling with anxiety or depression? I am passionate about working with all populations including LGBTQIA2S+ and BIPOC communities, teenagers, and adults. I have worked as a Middle School Counselor, Social-Emotional Learning Specialist, Crisis Support Hotline volunteer in the Far East, Training Director, Consultant, ESL Teacher Overseas, Instructor, and am a Military Veteran with combat theater experience.

I view the counseling process as a collaborative journey, where client and counselor work together to explore and navigate the path towards healing and personal growth. Embracing this philosophy, I approach counseling from a person-centered perspective, valuing and respecting the individuality of every client he serves. I strive to create a warm, supportive, and enjoyable environment (yes, therapy can be fun!) that empowers clients to maximize their strengths and achieve their life aspirations. My therapeutic style is characterized by an empathetic and solution-focused approach custom-tailored to meet the needs of my clients.

We are not meant to be solitary creatures. A lot of times, we might just need to verbalize our struggles to find the solutions that have been staring us in the face this entire time. Sometimes we need an objective ear, or someone to help us brainstorm ideas. And sometimes we might need some wisdom and resources to move us to the next level. Regardless of where you are at in the process, I can help! I am a proud member of the LGBTQIA+ community and I am excited to bring mental health accessibility to a wide range of clients with diverse backgrounds and unique stories.

Life can present itself with challenges that are daunting and seeking help can be a scary and intimidating pursuit. That is ok, I want you to know that it is normal to feel overwhelmed with life in general and to feel anxious about seeking help. Doing so is one of the biggest steps you can take towards bettering yourself, and for that, you should feel proud. I am here to meet you along the way. Together, we can work on navigating all the challenges that life throws our way.

Life can be difficult to navigate when you're constantly being bombarded with these negative thoughts. I understand the difficulty of dealing with these thoughts and feelings as well as addressing them. I am here for your needs and to support you in your path to a better overall mental well-being.
