Women's Issues Therapists in Westminster, CO

I am a licensed professional counselor in the Arvada/Westminster area specializing in panic/anxiety, depression, and Spiritual concerns, including Atheism, Agnosticism, and Secular questioning. In addition, I provide Mindfulness Based psychotherapy in the areas of grief and loss, life transitions, and women's issues .

Life is full of challenges. I believe these challenges can also be stepping stones to our own personal growth. Whether stress from a job, a relationship issue or perhaps experiencing depression or anxiety, everyone deserves to have a non-judgmental, safe place to be able to talk. As a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, I strive to make my office a comfortable environment where those "hard conversations" can happen, resulting in a deeper understanding of what roles we play in relationships as well as how our thoughts impact how we feel and act.

I am passionate about working with adolescents, young adults, and people who are looking for a different approach than traditional talk therapy. I particularly enjoy working with people who are interested in a quick painless way to resolve trauma and who are open to a new way of thinking about how the mind works. In order to facilitate change I use a variety of experiential modalities such as Rapid Resolution Therapy, emotional freedom techniques (EFT), matrix reimprinting, expressive arts, energy psychology, mindfulness/meditation, and other holistic methods.

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.

Do you feel like you've hit a wall? You're spinning in circles? You keep reliving past experiences? Or perhaps you and your partner are having the same fights repeatedly with no resolution. Maybe you're a parent floating along in a sea of chaos that you can't ever seem to bring order to. Feeling alone, lost, or ashamed that you 'can't handle this' or you 'should know what to do' - everyone else seems to be doing just fine. There is no Life Manual, no Relationship Guide, no Parenting Handbook given at birth to navigate your life.

Hi. My name is Kate Pauley and I work with individuals, couples, and families. It is my greatest joy to see clients experiencing warmth, love, and bliss in their relationships. This may sound unattainable right now, and that is okay. I will work together with you from exactly where you are right now to get you to where you want to be. Did you know that the average couple waits 6 years after first thinking about therapy before actually coming to therapy? Because I offer affordable counseling, you do not need to wait until things are unbearable before starting. No matter where you are right now, I am here.

There must be a better way! You’re feeling so overwhelmed that you’re wondering if you can keep doing this day after day. At this point, the feelings of anxiety from handling stress, finding balance, recognizing a sense of self, and setting boundaries are no longer common. The culmination of your feelings begins to lead you to question your abilities and stir up the belief that something has to change because there must be a better way!

My goal is to create a compassionate working relationship where my clients feel seen and heard, in all of their identities. I believe that you are the expert on yourself, and together we can collaboratively identify and begin making progress on your goals. For some, that could mean brief therapy, while others might be better suited for longer term depth work. I’m a feminist therapist, who uses relational, social justice, and interpersonal process approaches to counseling. I strive to create a non-judgmental space where you can feel free to be yourself. I work well with adults who are interested in better understanding themselves.

You’re a 20s-30s-something and you're realizing that the coping strategies you once relied on are no longer serving you. Maybe you’ve found success in your work, but desire your interpersonal relationships to be stronger. Perhaps you’re searching for clarity, or a sense of stability after going through a break up, a move, a career switch, or a life transition. You may be a couple desiring stronger connection, better communication, and more depth in your relationship. Whether an individual or a couple, you're noticing that past experiences and old patterns are interrupting the life and relationships you're trying to build.

I enjoy working with all people from all walks of life. As a systemic therapist, a focus of mine will be on your family of origin and the events in your life that make you, you. Exploring our past aids in expanding our perspectives and provides new awareness which also helps in building greater connections to ourselves and to our loved ones. From a Humanistic point of view, I also believe that all people hold the key to their own healing. I look forward to working collaboratively together to find your unique path to healing.

Are you seeking hope? A future where you can understand your struggles, cope with them, and be kinder to yourself? Then welcome. You are in the right place. I am passionate about working with individuals and couples in their journey toward healing from trauma, depression, anxiety, life-changes, and other mental health barriers. I bring a trauma-informed approach to therapy, and desire to empower you to unearth your authentic and whole self.

I am passionate about helping you live your best life. Maybe you're not even sure what that looks like yet, but you know something about the way you're living isn't right. Let's figure that out and get you on track. I aim to help you discover processing strategies, coping skills, and goal setting routines that lead you to a fulfilling lifestyle.

Because we are relational by nature, our patterns of interaction with others contribute to our experiences of happiness and our experiences of pain and disappointment. My goal is to help you strengthen your most important relationships - including your relationship with yourself.
