Compassion Focused Therapists in Commerce City, CO

It’s easy to get stuck and confused about who you are and how to find meaning in life. Do you want to know yourself better? Would you like to explore the things impacting your relationships? Are you curious about the people, places, things, and experiences that helped define your thoughts, feelings, fantasies, and attractions? These conversations are complex and not often a prioritized part of life. Many have not found the words for these parts of themselves. We are often bound by cultural conditions, traumas, and obstacles that hold us back from connecting to an aliveness that promotes healing and moves us forward in life.

I work with individuals struggling with the effects of unresolved trauma, which can look like experiences of anxiety, depression, and panic attacks, as well as challenges in relationships and sex life. My counseling incorporates a mind/ body approach that is based on an understanding of the neurobiology of trauma and that is highly attuned to cultural and societal context so as to promote more possibilities for healing. My aspiration is to support my clients to feel keenly aware of their sense of empowerment, agency, and wholeness in the present moment rather than feeling defenseless against overwhelming emotions and bodily states.

I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with several additional trainings including working with Harvard Medical School in Global Mental Health and Traumatic recovery. I have worked within many cultures and contexts including high level business executives, veterans, Indigenous and refugee populations and professional athletes. I work with individuals and couples and am available for crisis or emergency sessions.

Do you ever feel like you’re knee deep in…stuff? Now you’re here, shopping for a therapist, which is probably not how you’d like to be spending your time (that Netflix won’t watch itself). Let's be honest, seeing all those letters after someone's name looks impressive but what good is alphabet soup if that person doesn’t “get” you. You need someone who you can be real with, who'll be there with you through "the suck." I'm an AF veteran who's been through “the suck” many times before and am now here to help guide you through this journey.

KidStuff Child & Family Counseling, P.C. specializes in helping kids, families and adults navigate life's challenges and improve overall wellness. LifeStuff, HardStuff, AdultStuff: whatever your reasons for seeking therapy, our therapists will collaborate with you to create a therapeutic experience to meet your needs. Our therapists are open and welcoming while supporting clients through their healing process. If you have Medicaid health insurance, commercial insurance, or are looking for a reasonably affordable cash-pay option, we have options for in-office and telehealth services.

I work with individuals who want to make a change in their life but solutions and where to start feel far or impossible. We will become a team that will learn what you need and how to get you to where you want to be. Ideally, an individual working with me would be open to bringing nature and or movement into the session, however, that is not required. I simply believe that trauma, anxiety, and other symptoms can get stuck in the body and movement helps as well as nature. Walking creates linear thinking and fresh air can give a sense of calmness.

Welcome to your transformative therapy journey. I blend an easy-going demeanor, humor, and a solution-oriented approach to nurture growth in each person I work with. My counseling style is built on empathy, respect, and compassion. We form a partnership that supports you through life's highs and lows. It's not just about sessions; it's about forming a true partnership that supports you through both life's triumphs and challenges.

Our approach utilizes the biopsychosocial approach to evaluation and treatment; this means we strive to understand the biological, psychological, and social factors that influence the health and wellness of our clients. Our services are often referred to as "behavioral medicine" or "medical psychology;" this is due to taking a holistic approach in our treatment considering the whole person - physical, mental, emotional, and social. We often work collaboratively with other professions such as primary care physicians, occupational therapists, social workers, chaplains, and others who are important to one's individual network of care.

No matter how far you are on your journey, it's likely that there will always be something that's not perfect, or the way you want it to be. When we are hurting (and not present), it's difficult to enjoy life, make decisions, or work through transitions, traumas, painful memories, or experiences. Emotional injuries may lead to difficulties with relationships, self worth, goals, and living to your fullest potential. My name is Isabelle, and I will support you in practicing mindfulness and taking control, rather than "sinking" into painful life situations or memories. I use a variety of effective cutting-edge therapies and tools.
