Therapists in Westminster, CO

I work with humans across age groups, and while the life stage changes, many struggles connect all of us. (Currently, not accepting new teen clients). I enjoy working with clients struggling with perinatal mental health concerns, young adults trying to prioritize their mental health, and children/teens whose parents want them to have a supportive place to process life. I'm a Bilingual and Bicultural therapist (Mexican-American) who brings my human self to my job as a therapist. My passion is in supporting BIPOC individuals to receive accessible and culturally informed therapy.

I consider it a privilege to walk along side of you as you heal from trauma, navigate relational challenges, and balance life transitions.

For the last 20 years I've had the pleasure to work with and support individuals of all ages and cultural backgrounds. This experience has allowed me to grow exponentially and played a crucial role in my professional and personal development. These aspects allow me to be creative and flexible in meeting the various challenges and concerns of my clients.

How does wellness and therapy connect? That is a easy, but hard question to answer. Many people seek therapy for a variety of reasons. Maybe someone is looking for clarity or processing of a situation. Maybe someone is looking for recovery. However, no matter the reason a person seeks therapy or counseling… it is to help. Therapy is a unique process where you get to dictate your journey. Often in life we feel that our journey dictates our lives, but in therapy you can choose to reflect on the past or evaluate the future. I believe that the client dictates their path.

People seek therapy for a number of reasons. Whatever the reason I am dedicated to helping them see and reach their best selves. I have been working as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for the past 30 years and am committed to providing a non judgmental and safe environment where my clients are supported and accepted through the process of growth and change. I am here to provide each client with insight and interventions tailored to their needs.

Current Open Spots in my schedule. I'm Gwenivere Weiss (she/her pronouns). Themes of perfectionism, relationship challenges, self-worth, anxiety, and moving beyond trauma are where I work best. I am trained in Mindfulness-Based Psychotherapy, EMDR for trauma resolution, Internal Family Systems and the PACT model for couples therapy. I have a background as a mindfulness practitioner, a Nutrition Educator, and was trained at the Graduate School of Counseling Psychology of Naropa University in Boulder, CO.

Are you experiencing repeated conflicts with a child, spouse, or partner and would like some help with communication problems? Have you experienced childhood or adult trauma or abuse (physical, emotional, or sexual)? Do you experience episodes of depression, hyperactivity, mania (decreased need for sleep, racing thoughts, more talkative, unusually more productive)? Maybe you have concentration and/or attention difficulties, don't seem to be able to finish projects, or have good organization skills. Have you or someone close to you noticed issues related to addiction or dependence (compulsive behaviors) on alcohol, drugs, gambling, food, internet or computer games, or even work or sex?

My name is Andrew E. Gonzales and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). I have experience working with individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, as well as other conditions. As your therapist, I want to help educate you in the habits that make for a more successful life. I would like to help you experience the richness that comes with vulnerability and connection to begin your path to healing.

Life can sometimes feel really painful and overwhelming, and it’s often full of difficult decisions. You may be feeling totally stuck, or unsure about what to do to feel better. If old coping strategies have stopped working, or worse, are becoming self-destructive, reaching out for help can be a daunting but ultimately liberating step toward growth and healing. My goal is to help you better understand yourself, heal old wounds, and learn to master your daily life with courage, calm, strength, and resilience.

Are you exhausted? Do you feel stuck in only one or two emotions? Do you forget to eat, drink water, or rest properly? Do you feel lonely - even around other people? Are you in pain - Emotional, physical, or spiritual? Do you have a feeling of dread, like something terrible is going to happen, but you don't know why? Have you been feeling sad, blue, or depressed? My specialty is helping people feel better. I will meet you where you are in your process and design a creative and unique treatment plan tailored to your goals and needs.

I am a couple’s therapist who believes the first steps in moving forward in life involve a deeper understanding of yourself and your relationship patterns. I create a warm, safe space free of judgment and full of curiosity to explore these pieces of your life puzzle. After establishing trust, together we will explore your challenges through awareness of their impact on the relationships that mean the most to you. I will help you build your own relational tool kit to navigate your challenges and goals. I feel confident working with me will bring a new perspective and a better sense of understanding of yourself and your relationships.

Are you someone who never thought you would be looking for a therapist? Are problems that were once manageable now feeling as though they aren't? As a trauma-informed therapist rooted in narrative practice, I am dedicated to opening spaces for those problems that are haunting you, or have haunted you for years. I consciously work to help you recognize that you are uniquely separate from your problems. Separating ourselves from the problems in our lives, such as grief, addiction, anxiety, love, or violence will guide us toward healing through crisis or times when we feel stuck.

You feel like you are in an ocean, barely keeping your head above the waves. People in your life look to you to handle problems, because you always do, and you do it thoroughly excellently. But you're exhausted. You want to be free of the responsibility you have seemingly always held. Your exhaustion causes you irritation and anxiety that invariably affect your relationships. You may even fantasize about leaving it all behind and letting someone else pick up the pieces. I want you to know that there is freedom in this life for you if you are willing to take it, and I can help you do that.

I see individuals and couples or groups. I specialize in ethical nonmonogamy and polyamorous relationships. Whether you are curious about opening your relationship or have already opened your relationship(s), I can help strengthen the bonds between you. I believe both monogamy and open relationships are valid choices and I’m here to help you find what’s right for you and your partner(s).

For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to help others. Active listening, being empathetic, and showing compassion for others during tough times has always come naturally to me. I strive to bring these natural strengths, as well as the tools I have learned throughout my time as a student, to give the best possible care to each of my clients/families/couples. I believe that a client should be able to leave each therapy session with a greater understanding and self-awareness of how they can navigate through their lives.

Are you motivated to make a meaningful change in your life, but frustrated by not knowing where to start? Are you in the midst of a family or relationship conflict and feeling helpless, hopeless, or exhausted by a lack of resolution? Are you struggling with depression, anxiety, or grief and loss? Do you just want to feel better? I am here to guide you toward the change and healing you seek. My clients experience a balance of empathy, compassion, accountability, and gentle challenge in each session, all focused toward fostering personal and relational growth. Are you ready to do the work? Let's start together!
