Therapists in Broomfield, CO

Hi there! I am so glad you’re here. As a counselor, I am passionate about serving my community. I hold my master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Northern Colorado. I pull from a variety of experiences in working in the mental health care industry including working with adults with developmental/intellectual disabilities, adolescents in school settings, adult and adolescent inpatient treatment, mental health and the outdoors, corrections counseling, private practice, and group counseling for transgender adolescents. I also host my own mental health podcast, Kare With Korac!

I have clients that come to therapy for a wide range of issues. Most often, client goals begin with relief from pain, sadness, guilt, shame, confusion, addiction and many other symptoms related to distress. I have found that many clients who seek therapy are surprised to learn how past and present are related and how someone can influence future through choice, meaning, and intentional use of personal strengths. I am passionate about keeping the therapeutic relationship collaborative and empathic, while striving to weave empirical interventions with hope and perseverance.

Do you find the state of the world overwhelming, or question your purpose in life? Are you exhausted from fighting with your partner, but don't want to give up on the love you share? Or maybe, your family is having a hard time coping with a member coming out LGBT+? Whatever unique challenges you're facing, it's important to me to contribute to creating an atmosphere where you feel welcomed and comfortable to share what's going on. My goal is to collaborate with you to make the changes you desire more manageable.

There are all kinds of reasons for seeking counseling. The ones we think of most have to do with mental health: depression, suicidal thoughts and urges, anxiety, grief, and navigating life transitions. There are plenty of other reasons as well, whether relational, existential, spiritual, et cetera. Common among all these listed and unlisted reasons is the theme of a problem, question, difficulty, hope for change and/or insight.

Hello, thank you for reading my profile! I am a licensed professional counselor with over 35 years of clinical experience with clients of all ages. I enjoy working with a variety of people who have diverse lifestyles and cultural backgrounds. As one of my clients, you will find me to be compassionate, and supportive. I will work collaboratively with you to help you define and reach your goals. I believe in building on your strengths while helping you use or develop skills to overcome any obstacles that hold you back from happiness and well-being.

Life can be really dang hard at times- together we can focus on personal growth, healing, and increasing the quality of your experience. Our relationship with others, our environments, and other dimensions of life is the core of who we are as humans. Fortunately, therapy is a tried and true version of this relationship that empowers us to accomplish mental health, wellness, and growth. I am here to connect with and understand your unique circumstances so that we can safely navigate any challenges that arise. My ideal world is one where we can all live in peace, harmony, and be able to express our inherent individuality.

I am a licensed professional counselor with experience working with individuals, families and groups. I enjoy working with clients of all ages, but I have a special affinity for early adolescents and teenagers. My experiences as an educator serve as the foundation for working with these clients and their families. I use a client-centered approach and believe my clients are experts in their own lives. I view my role as therapist as a facilitator who assists clients in discovering their own truths and gaining a deeper sense of themselves.

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.

Do you feel empty, disconnected, ashamed, or like no one truly understands you? Difficult, traumatic, and challenging experiences are a normal part of being human and can cause us to end up feeling alone and isolated. I believe in the healing power of connection, where being truly seen, heard, and accepted by another empowers you to find a sense of wholeness and true acceptance of self. Through creating a collaborative, safe, warm, and nonjudgmental space, my goal is to walk with you into true connection with yourself and others, and to find a sense of deep resonance and healing within your heart and soul.

Hi there! I am a psychologist with over 20 years of experience in the field. My experience has allowed me to bring a deeper perspective to situations, and I know the value of giving that feedback to my clients. I utilize a variety of approaches like CBT, EMDR, Solution-Focused, Psychodynamic and Existential therapies. I had a thriving practice in the San Francisco Bay Area, but chose to live in beautiful and active Boulder instead. Because I just recently opened my practice to in-person clients here, I have openings!

I believe that everyone has the capacity to heal; with time, patience, and the right tools, individuals can tap into their innate capacity for growth and transformation. They can emerge from their struggles with newfound strength, insights, and hope. We all possess the strength and resilience needed to overcome our challenges and find healing. I will be here to provide a non-judgmental and supportive environment where you may feel safe to freely express your thoughts and emotions.

I help people with trauma, anxiety, depression and substance use issues. Oftentimes these problems emerge from a mix of causes that require more than one type of therapy to address. My approach combines developing tools and skills to help cope and change behaviors, identifying and changing unhelpful beliefs or thinking patterns, connecting with your feelings and emotions to be more self aware and know when you need to use the coping tools, working through your unique history to update the stories you have about yourself and your life, and reprocessing the painful memories and emotions that you may have been holding for years.

Life presents opportunities for change and we all have the ability to grow from this change though self discovery. I believe that although change is inevitable, it takes courage to be active in guiding change toward personal growth. My goal is to create an environment where real and sustained growth is possible.

Do you ever feel trapped by the day’s tasks and doubt your ability to make it through them? Do you feel like you’re just going through the motions while being weighed down in the process? Perhaps you find yourself saying, “I’m tired” a lot as an excuse for your low mood or become quiet because you don’t have the energy to talk. Have you been told to “snap out of it” or that depression is an excuse or something one “chooses” to get? Maybe you find yourself using your phone excessively because – let’s face it – sometimes it’s easier to hide our struggles online.
