Therapists in Lafayette, CO

Every person has the inherent ability to grow, heal and transform their lives. My name is Jayme Richards and I provide therapy for individuals and couples using a mindfulness lens. My areas of expertise include trauma, anxiety, and depression. I work with all forms of trauma including: complex, sexual, verbal abuse, physical abuse, bullying, religious, medical, institutional and race/ethnicity based. Other areas of knowledge include working with shame, body image issues, life transitions, self-acceptance, and ADHD management. I mostly work with individuals but also see couples with alternative relationship structures.

Life can be stressful and sometimes we need extra tools and guidance along the way. In working together, we will focus on your past traumas, life stressors, or the way that you react to certain situations. We can explore your past family systems, current relationships, societal influences, and life changing experiences along the way to offer insight, perspective, and tools to meet your individual needs and goals. I have a vast array of experience both personally and professionally. I believe that everyone deserves someone to support them through challenging times and feel honored to be that person for clients.

Are you ready to start LIVING and not just surviving? I specialize in treating symptoms of trauma, eating disorders, substance use, mood disorders, personality disorders, depression, and anxiety. And my goal is to help you achieve your dreams and goals that you have for your life and your mental health!

I believe we make decisions based on the information available to us at the time. Our “information” comes from our interpretation of life experiences forming a narrative of who we are. When that narrative is no longer useful, no longer provides comfort, or no longer helps us cope, we may begin to experience symptoms of depression, anxiety, trauma, and/or addiction. My goal is to provide clients with a safe, non-judgmental space to explore how the past may be limiting enjoyment and fulfillment in life, identify coping strategies that are working and offer additional suggestions, and set goals that match the client’s desires.

We are living in a world of unknowns creating more stress and anxiety than ever before. I am here to work with anyone that desires to face their problems together. We will sort out life's circumstances, set personal therapeutic goals, and move in the direction of health. We were never meant to face life's trials and tribulations alone because we are better when we work together. Now offering telehealth and in-person sessions, making connection more convenient than ever.

Take time to relax and be confident I can effectively serve your mental health needs through 13 years of experience working with ADHD, anxiety, substance abuse/addictions, parenting difficulties, depression, and relationship difficulties. In our sessions we will work collaboratively to help you feel better, more relaxed, to improve the quality of your life, and ultimately to increase your hope. I will be as practical as possible for your benefit. You should contact me if you are ready to experience deep and long-lasting change!

Counseling is a journey and admitting that you need help is one of the hardest and most rewarding things you will do. This is an active journey that we will take together. Often we feel that activity and movement will help us to feel better, but underneath that unrest is a range of psychological processes such as depression, overwhelming stress, perfectionism, and anxiety. Choosing to ignore your issues tends to make life more difficult and places a strain on your relationships. Through our counseling relationship we will create goals, set the pace and find your path of healing.

Accepting New Clients (updated 4/8) Is it hard to imagine getting through a whole day without anxiety, negative self-talk, feelings of low self-esteem or overwhelm? If so, you're in the right place! I am a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional (CCATP) and I specialize in creating a warm, accepting, and healing space for adults navigating anxiety, self-esteem, relationships, adhd, and grief. This is a space where tears, authenticity, frustrations, vulnerability, and humor co-exist. A space where you're encouraged to be unapologetically yourself and explore what exactly that means.

Are you unhappy with your life or unfulfilled in your relationships? Do you feel overwhelmed by worry, sadness, anxiety or uncertainty? Sometimes we just get stuck and find that coping on our own isn't working. My passion is working with college students and young adults to provide supportive therapy around a variety of issues that feel too big to manage on your own anymore. I use evidenced- based interventions specializing in depression, anxiety, relationships and behavior patterns, as well as addiction issues. I am accepting new clients and will respond the same day.

I know that children and teens have strengths along with concerning risk factors that may need attention. If you or your family members are experiencing difficulty with your relationships because of communication and problem-solving problems, please consider evidence-based individual or episodic family therapy. Research shows lasting results when parents and youth learn ways to enhance one another's relational skill-building together. I specialize in helping clients find ways to work through risks such as substance abuse, aggression, anxiety, mood swings, trauma, loss and grief, and school issues.

Do you want to shift negative patterns that are holding you back? Reduce anxiety and depression? Therapy is a relationship that allows for an exploration into the deepest realms of the self in a nurturing space where you can be honest and open.

I use many techniques: talk therapy, somatic, EMDR, KAP, Parts work, mindfulness, cognitive, relational and attachment work. I am a contemplative psychotherapist who works from an integral framework, utilizing a non-pathologic view.

Transform your relationship with life! Reduce stress. Release old patterns.

As a Somatic Counselor, I work from an understanding of how our thoughts and emotions are necessarily intertwined with our body - internally with brain wiring and externally through behaviors that communicate when words do not. My focus is challenging emotional states and helping adults, partners, and families resolve what the resulting behaviors may be trying to communicate. Specifically, I work with anxiety/ptsd, depression, anger, health crises/fear of death or abandonment, low self-esteem, and grief. Together we choose methods that feel like a fit to meet your circumstance. Ultimately, the goal is empowerment.

Many people seek therapy because something in their life is not working. It may be something at work, relationship with spouse, family members or friends. They feel frustrated and depressed because they are unable to be effective in managing problems. Over time these problems can lead to sadness, stress, anxiety, difficulty sleeping and changes in mood. Therapy can help you identify the things that are not working and assist you in developing strategies for solving your problems. Being able to solve problems and improve the quality of your life will lead to happiness and a feeling of empowerment.

I offer a dynamic approach to mental health care using holistic, body-mind integrated therapeutic techniques.

I can partner with you to identify and activate your inner strengths and authentic self. I provide counseling in a safe environment and my clinical focus builds upon clients' existing strengths and aliveness. In office or video counseling available.
