Teletherapy for Colorado

As a relational therapist, I imagine you're here to transform the conflicts & hurt in your relationship/s into safe and secure spaces - spaces that offer true intimacy and a sense of meaning. I imagine you want a therapist who accesses intuition and asks pointed questions to get to the depth and heart of the matter; one who is sensitive, yet courageous and direct. In my practice, I provide therapy to intimate partnerships, adult families, and individuals. I help you fiercely and gently engage discomfort, access emotional truths, voice needs, navigate difference, repair ruptures, and move toward renewed and deepened connection.

Re: Mary Ann Van Buskirk, M.A., M.Div., LPC (CO). I specialize in relationships - with others, self and God. I have over 30 years experience integrating spirituality, theology and psychotherapy in my clinical practice with couples, individuals and families.

Mental health, just like physical health needs to be maintained. Some people suffer from organic mental illnesses, which are similar to organic physical illnesses. One can have Bipolar Disorder just as one can have diabetes and both can be successfully treated and managed, to allow the individual to live a normal and healthy lifestyle. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in Bipolar Disorders, Depressive Disorders, Anxiety Disorders, Adjustment Disorders, grief and loss issues. Additionally, chronic illness and family therapy are some of my practice areas.

I obtained my Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy at Argosy University. I specialize in youth and family therapy, in Lakewood, CO. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and a Licensed Addiction Counselor. I hold certificates in systemic Art, Play, and Sandplay therapy. I earned my Bachelor's in Human Services with an emphasis in Rehabilitative Counseling and minors in Art and Psychology at the University of Northern Colorado. I have a passion for providing an outlet for individuals to have a safe place to grow and reach their full potential.

As a seasoned psychotherapist/life coach, I believe in our innate healing potential and guide my clients to unlock their internal wisdom, resilience and resources for healing. Somatic (body-centered), mindfulness-based approaches to holistic coaching and therapy, allow me to integrate my clinical training while tuning into intuition to effectively guide the unfolding healing process of my clients. Trauma-informed, holistic coaching and therapy allows for greater capacity to rewire the brain, which can make the unconscious conscious and shift your automatic reactive patterns and outdated beliefs, helping you to live your best life.

My practice is centered on helping athletes, coaches and their families navigate mental health and performance issues. I approach counseling from a guiding perspective. You hold the answers you're looking for, but sometimes there are things blocking us from being able to tap into these answers. Together we work on navigating these issues and finding clarity, peace, and healing. Some of my hobbies are: snowboarding, fishing, camping, spending time with my family, and jiu jitsu!

Hi, I'm glad you're here! Looking for a therapist can feel overwhelming, and I'm so excited for you to find the therapist who feels like a match to you. I have experience working with relationships, eating disorders, addiction, mood disorders and trauma and I regularly work with adults, adolescents, and couples. I believe therapeutic work needs to be collaborative to be successful. My philosophy is to support the individuals and couples I work with in reaching the goals they set for themselves through treatment plans we create together.

Worry, Anxiety, Panic Attacks, Anger, Depression and Confusion make life feel overwhelming and out of control. I can help you find out what's going on with your relationships and to name your deeper truth and find new ways to work through issues that come up. I believe life challenges us to grow, and feeling stuck, struggling with emotions or communication, or feeling out of sync creates the desire to improve and grow. So, whether you feel confused, anxious, sad, fearful, or angry in your life and your relationships, I can teach you the tools needed so you can find out what it's like to live your most authentic life.

As a certified marriage and family therapist and relationship coach focusing on women empowerment whether they seek individual or couples therapy. My clients are successful, intelligent, conscientious women who hold themselves to high standards. Intimate relationship is challenging. It's tough to get through the week without hurt feelings, upsets, or disagreement. They want to make things work. It feels like nothing ever changes. They feel powerless, unhappy, and unfulfilled. I can help even if their partner is not on board.

I specialize in ABA, (Applied Behavior Analysis). The transition from childhood to adulthood can be a trying time for all members of the family, I'm here to offer support through this turbulent time. I approach each client with unconditional positive regard, compassion, and empathy. I believe that our values are our compass. Identifying values is the first step in relief from psychological suffering and toward lasting behavior change. People seek out therapy for both compassionate care AND real therapeutic results. Your family deserves both. If you're tired of walking on eggshells around your loved one, I'm here to help.

Relationships require work, and I'm here to support you in moving out of old patterns, into a brighter, healthier future, using the natural resources you possess. Relationships are active choices we make every day to remain in, yet it can be difficult to know how to reconnect or repair. We all want to be seen and understood by our partners and family members. When you are saying one thing and your partner hears something different, a space to explore why can be life changing. No one person is responsible for a relationship and all members of a family can contribute to the solution.

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.

Wow, we made it through a pandemic...now what?! Our lives and relationships survived so much change and stress and it shows. I will come alongside you and your loved one(s) and amplify what’s already working and help you find new ways to relate and heal. I love to help couples strengthen their intimate lives as well. I love helping couples establish a healthier relationship. If you are wanting to come in as an individual, we will begin to work on the most important relationship, the relationship with yourself. Together we can improve your relationships and life.

**I am taking new online clients* Hello - I help women break free from manipulative relationships. We can feel so trapped by toxic coaches, bosses, partners and family members. Many times these people appear to be great, fantastic people and the toxicity is hidden so we feel at fault; we end up feeling crazy. You are going to learn to recognize your own needs and feelings. You will see what behaviors are OK and which ones are abusive. You will forgive yourself for your choices and participation. And you will see that you are not crazy. Your inner voice is correct; your compass points to true North; you will find a way forward.

*ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS* When things get rough with your child it doesn't just impact the child it can have an impact on the entire family system. I can help you, your child and family cope with behavioral or emotional difficulties and build skills that translate in many different areas of life. School and work can put a lot of stress on us and I work to help the client regulate their emotions and use appropriate coping skills. Family dynamics are a huge area of our life and can cause strife. Utilizing Systems theory I work to address the areas affecting the client negatively and help them learn ways to deal with these stressors.

When you’re neck-deep in the struggle of parenting a child with special needs, taking the step to start your own therapy probably feels impossible. It might feel like just one more thing demanding your attention, one more appointment to keep straight, one more person telling you everything you’re doing wrong. My goal is to help you to feel more grounded and regulated so that all of the other things demanding your attention feel more manageable. I hope to support your parenting journey with a unique skillset that can address both your mental health needs, and bolster your skills around behavior management.
