Therapists in Woodland Park, CO

“And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom" (Anais Nin). You know when it's time to make a change - whether the struggle is depression, anxiety, past trauma, or perhaps a painful relationship - there comes a tipping point when you are ready to make that first step toward hope.

Hi, if you are someone who feels stuck, overwhelmed, or controlled by your own emotions or behavioral reactions, or perhaps trapped within the confines of meaning you've internalized about yourself, others and this world, I want to help you. I am a clinical psychologist who loves working with people from all walks of life. I embrace diversity and welcome anyone, regardless of race, spirituality or sexual/gender identity. I hope to create a genuine therapeutic relationship within which we can begin the process of deep healing where all parts of you (no matter how hidden) feel welcome and free to have a voice, exist & be witnessed.

Life is full of inevitable difficulties, and how you approach them matters. In sessions, I work to provide a supportive environment where you can feel safe to untangle your thoughts and feelings. As I work alongside you, I aim to use feedback, honesty, compassion, empathy, and humor to help you find healing and a better understanding of yourself. I apply my cultural background, education, and experiences with trauma-informed care to create my own unique philosophy in helping others; the main pillar of that philosophy being self-awareness.

I am a person-centered, gestalt therapist. I use an eclectic approach to connect with each client individually. I work with all members of the community. I work with the LGBTQ community and people experiencing racial disparities. I provide support to allow you to identify the growth you want and am with you along the way.

My priority as a body-centered psychotherapist, is to listen without judgement and work together to create an integrative, trauma sensitive approach to support your healing, growth, and developmental journey. You will receive a variety of tools and resources to help with emotional regulation, coping skills, mindfulness, and practical skills that may help inform you of how to care for your body, mind, spirit and emotional well-being. Our work together may include using movement, awareness of emotions and bodily sensations, and learning about resources that will help integrate what you learn in therapy into your everyday life.

As a queer BIPOC individual, my passion is working with other individuals, relationships, and family systems of the queer (LGBTQIA+) and or BIPOC community. If you grew up in a culture that viewed mental health as taboo, you may be feeling alone and hopeless. Know that you are not alone in your journey. I believe that people and relationships can thrive if given the proper support, nourishment, and environment. We are all given the same tools, but how helpful can it be if we were never taught how to use them? With some direction, non-judgement, and unconditional positive regard I believe people are capable of incredible things.

Hello! My name is Laura X. Williams, and I am a Licensed Addiction Counselor and Relational Psychotherapist in the Denver area. My ideal clients are those who seek to explore potential in their own identity and relationships with an emphasis on love, sexual health, and gender. I work with couples wanting to build trust and/or are navigating polyamorous relationships; families who are seeking stronger unity about gender and communication; and individuals who hold intersecting identities, including gender, race, and adoption. We are here to repair, heal, and explore our potential for peace, trust, and well-being together.

Our foundational beliefs, values, experiences, and attitudes are the foundation upon which everything that comes into our lives is built. Like building a home, if a stone in the foundation is skewed, the house is structurally compromised. When we experience trauma or negative experiences, everything that touches upon that foundation is compromised. This can lead to anxiety, depression, relationship issues, low self-esteem, suicidal thoughts, PTSD, and a loss of life direction, just to name a few possible results. We all can restructure our lives through processing and perspective.

Lately, you can barely get out of bed and muster up the energy to go about your basic tasks. You still haven't fully recovered from the past and now your current life is bringing unbelievable stress. Honestly, anxiety and depression are kicking your butt - again! Your daily responsibilities, job, and relationships are suffering. Friends are distant and days go by where you barely talk to anyone. Minor frustrations send you into an irrational rage where you want to scream and cry at the same time. Your past pain and current stressors are threatening to hold you as a prisoner. It's a lonely place and it feels like there's no way out.

I assist with a client centered approach in a warm and friendly environment that is modest and humble.

Courage is the foundation to every client's work. Whether you are making a life decision, addressing your or helping your family member/ love ones' with their psychological struggles, or striving to become who you are and do what truly matters to you... Often times, courage may be disguised as anxiety, fear or painful indecisiveness. Reach a better understanding, through testing or mapping out where you are, and really listen to your symptoms/ guides. Then I encourage you to plant courage through forgiveness and compassion so that you can practice, acceptance, confrontation, working through, and letting go.

Have you been feeling stuck and are ready to feel empowered again? My first step as a psychotherapist is to meet the client where they are at in any given phase in treatment. I build rapport through my sense of warmth and empathy. The next step is to provide reflections so that the client can gain self-awareness and clarity, identifying patterns and understanding how systems and cultural factors have influenced the messages we have received throughout our lives. With this gained knowledge, the goal is to identify what has no longer been serving us so that we can reach empowerment and self-efficacy.

Hiroko was born and raised in Kyoto, Japan, and she's fluent in both Japanese and English. She began her work as a counselor in 2017. And her vast background in providing spiritual care as a hospice and hospital chaplain makes her uniquely qualified to provide a therapeutic experience that is wholistic in approach and insightful in application. She immigrated to the US as a young adult, and throughout her time in the states has been exposed to multi-cultural communities. Through these experiences, she learned to value the ability to see through different cultural lenses.
