Do you need more of a sense of connection with others in your life? Are you looking for more balance and more skill in asserting your needs? Are you struggling with feelings of depression, anxiety, or insecurity? Therapy can help! I work with individuals, couples, and families, helping them strengthen bonds with those most important to them. At the start of therapy, I believe it is critical to experience a good fit with your therapist in an environment that is safe, non-judgmental, and collaborative. This important connection starts the process of building deeper bonds with others.

Anxious? Depressed? Stuck? You're not alone. Let's work together to get things moving. I see adults ages 18-80, I am direct in my approach and I am solution focused. Specialties include the LGBTQ+ community including gender diversity; as well as toxic relationships, divorce & break up. I am also a health psychologist and I work with physicians and medical providers on trauma, burnout and life changes. I specialize in aging, including retirement, chronic health conditions, caregiving, grief & loss.

Navigating marriage and relationships can pose significant challenges. I assist clients across various facets of their lives, including conflict management, financial concerns, commitment issues, sex therapy, communication problems, and navigating divorce. Even if your marriage seems strained, seeking professional guidance can provide you with the necessary tools to cultivate joy within your relationship. The prospect of divorce can leave one feeling directionless, without closure or support. I offer assistance in transitioning towards a brighter future, as there's always more to life beyond this single experience.

The main focus of my practice is divorce-related work. As a certified divorce coach and collaborative divorce facilitator I help couples divorce amicably. A main ingredient to their doing so is to be thoughtful about each other and about how to work together in their children's best interests in order to craft the best divorce for their unique family. I help them make huge decisions from a place of clarity rather than from a place of emotional reactivity and educate them about children's developmental and emotional needs. I also conduct custody evaluations, which are called Parental Responsibility Evaluations in Colorado.

Connect with yourself + Connect with others! In my practice, Connect Counseling, I’m here to work together with you and for you. I’m here to help you connect with your best self, get your life back on the course you want it to be headed, and help you rediscover what brings you the most joy and happiness in your life. Whether you are dealing with relationship issues, feeling lost, stuck, or overwhelmed, it’s important for you to know that there is hope. Together, we will work to evaluate what is no longer serving you and come up with a plan to connect you with your goals and path to your best self and relationships.

My core value is compassion, which means that when we are hurt we must find ways to stay in the moment, to not leave ourselves. Compassion for ourselves leads to strength and confidence that is needed to heal. I model comedic empathy for our shared human condition and the sometimes too serious processes in our lives . I bring a wealth of information and expertise to help identify and successfully address the problems that come with divorce, relationships, grief and loss, marital infidelity, parenting, co-parenting, blended families, communication with your partner, and generally feeling overwhelmed and hopeless.

Hopeless? Overwhelmed? Tired of feeling sadness, anger, & worry? Ready to get your life back? I specialize in divorce recovery, relationship/ marriage counseling, recovering from narcissistic relationships & abuse, parental alienation & reunification, co-parenting & communication in high conflict divorces. I, also, work with anxiety and depression issues. Sometimes the circumstances around us do not change but be encouraged that taking a STEP FORWARD can be the first step towards hope and healing. I work with individuals, couples, & families. I, also, offer teletherapy and video sessions.

My approach as a therapist is relational. I see therapy as a chance to connect with another human in a protected relationship that allows for greater openness and honesty. In the safety of our relationship, I challenge my clients so that we get beneath the surface to gain insight, find greater meaning, grounding, and deeper connection. I specialize in work with men, those experiencing divorce, life transitions, and relationship issues, and struggling with substance use.

No one said that divorce was easy, but you didn’t know it would be this challenging. You’re sure you made the right choice for you and your former spouse, but your separation has been far more destabilizing than anticipated. You’re still processing the confusion, shock, and anger of losing your partner. And it’s terrifying to imagine facing the future all alone. Meanwhile, trying to piece your life back together in the wake of your failed relationship is proving too difficult to handle by yourself. You desperately need some help figuring out the next steps and don’t know where to turn. There must be a way forward.

Many clients are in crisis and seeking assistance with a specific issue: Divorce, Grief, Addiction, Depression, Medical Diagnosis, Anxiety, or Life Transition. Therapy helps treat the turmoil that is the natural result of these issues. The skills developed during therapy help clients live full, happy and rich lives. Clients generally arrive with a specific personal crisis. I work in unison with clients to facilitate a deeper, richer, sense of identity. Each individual is held from a perspective of capability, competency, and resiliency, that bring about a sense of continuity and recognition of their authentic self.

All you wanted was a simple divorce. Instead, it's devolved into a divorce driven by hate from your Ex. Suddenly it's clear that they had no intention of striving for an "amicable" experience for you or your kids. The person you married is playing a purely “win-lose” defensive game of "win at all" costs because you've ceased to be of any use. Consequently, every topic is a “big deal” to be fought over. You may be facing increasing amounts of useless motions filed to further increase animosity. You’ve reached the point where you have no idea how to navigate it. I am here to step in and help you end that chaos and restore control.

I specialize in working with adults seeking to heal from relational wounds (divorce, betrayal, abandonment, family of origin trauma, abusive or problematic romantic relationships). My therapeutic philosophy is to increase awareness of your pain points, address them collaboratively, and empower you to move toward healing and resolution through engaged and active treatment. Across my decade experience, I have worked with clients to courageously address what they have been through to get to where they dream of being- a fulfilled, connected, rich, and dynamic life. I have seen genuine healing and believe in what yours can bring you!

I specialize in relationship issues, including codependency. I can help you break old relationship patterns, attract a healthy partner, and bring your best self to a new relationship. There is often underlying attachment trauma with codependency. I address this using a somatic (body)-based psychotherapy that heals these wounds at the deepest level. I am trained in Hakomi and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy. My ideal client is someone who is ready to change, is self-aware and self-reflective - someone who is committed to their own growth and development, and willing to put in the time and energy it takes to create a life they love.

My practice serves adolescents, families and individuals. In particular, I understand the issues and challenges faced by adolescents and young adults in this world. In session I take an active and positive approach. My goal is to facilitate healing in a way that helps my clients find ways to function well in their lives. Additionally, I am here to support parents in their parenting journey and to support adolescents and young adults as they grow, develop, and face life's challenges.

I have become very interested in the brain's functioning powers and how people can learn to re-wire neural networks, using strategies that can calm, relax, heighten a sense of personal control, diminish the power of old patterns, and strengthen healthy neural pathways. Research now shows that talking about what is causing tension, stress, or discomfort for you is good for your brain. It is good to find a therapist, a trusted friend or clergy worker to confide in and improve your life. I work with children of all ages, adult individuals, and couples and families who are having difficulties.

Kristen has been practicing 19+ years in a variety of treatment settings - working with children, adolescents, young adults and families. She collaborates with clients to increase their understanding of the therapeutic process and the opportunities for personal and family growth. Approachable, patient, responsive, and warm, Kristen deeply values relationships with clients, and works on creating a safe space for growth and authentic communication.

My approach to psychotherapy is tailored to the needs of each client. I work with adolescents and adults and offer individual, couples, and family therapy. I help individuals identify their goals and make the changes necessary to lead more fulfilling and productive lives. I am directive, and I provide a warm, caring, and non-judgmental environment to explore the issues and life events with which you may be struggling.

My passion is working with children, adolescents, adults and couples struggling with anxiety, depression, and difficult life transitions. I also work with divorced couples to create Co-Parenting strategies. I bring a direct, compassionate, solution focused approach as a Parent Coach with the option of Home-Based services to help reduce power struggles and restore peaceful family functioning. I also offer Educational/School Consultation support services for complex/neurodiverse clients, creating a partnership between teachers and families to better understand the accommodations necessary for success at school and at home.
