Therapists in Alamo Placita, Denver, CO

I want to help bring authenticity and change to your life the way you want it to. I'm Nick (they/them), and I’m dual licensed in two states working with FL and CO clients. I work with queer issues and gender exploration/transition, codependency and relationship problems, anxiety disorders, neurodivergence, chronic illness, trauma, and grief/loss. I also work with non-monogamous/poly clients. I’m here to provide a safe and respectful place for you to be seen and heard. You're not alone and you don’t have to keep telling yourself everything is “fine” or normal in your life - let's find a better "normal" for you to live.

Hi, I’m Julia (she/her). I'm glad you're here! Whether you're continuing your therapy journey or starting for the first time, I would be love to accompany you in the process of healing and growth. Therapy might be intimidating to start, but I like to make the process as easy and comfortable as possible for you. With my client-centered approach, I want to focus on what you want to talk about. It could be a recent relationship that is causing you stress or anxiety or maybe you're grieving the loss of something, I would be honored to be listening ear to provide empathy and feedback from wherever you're coming from.

On the outside, it may look like you have it all together - the job, the family, the appearance. But on the inside you feel consumed by stress, anxiety, and perfectionism. You may have troubled intimate relationships, negative thoughts, and issues with eating and sleeping. Life may feel overwhelming and unfulfilling - like you can never get enough done or be "good enough." While your anxiety shows that you are someone who cares deeply, this stress can be harmful to your mind, body, and relationships in the long term. You wish for more joy, peace, and ease in your life and are ready to explore yourself more deeply to find it.

Fulfilling, secure relationships are attainable and take consistent, dedicated work. My job is to be the training wheels on your metaphorical bicycle and assist you in launching towards your goals. Whether you are coming in looking to improve communication skills or on the brink of a breakup or a family meltdown, I strongly believe it is never too early or too late to start therapy. These same sentiments also apply to my work in assessments. Through all of my testing, I’m looking for strengths.

Are you looking for someone to stand beside you as you navigate the complexities of chronic illness or need support in breaking cycles of codependency or difficult relationship dynamics with friends, family or partners? I specialize in providing compassionate and personalized support to individuals facing these challenges. I understand the unique struggles associated with chronic illness, offering a safe space to explore your emotions, address self-care needs, and develop effective coping strategies. Similarly, for relationships, I provide a non -judgmental environment and practical skills to help you create new dynamics.

I believe sex and relationships are the ultimate culmination of connection and vulnerability. This gives them the potential to be a source of actualization, despair and everything in between. I have found that my life purpose is to help others tap into the positive end of that spectrum of potential. Many clients who work with me are ready for their relationships to heal. They notice that they are stuck in the same unhealthy and unproductive patterns in their relationships or dating experiences. They feel motivated to improve their confidence and pleasure with intimacy, but they feel stuck in how to reach these goals on their own.

We all get stuck in ruts with relationships, our routines, and at work. Therapy is a space to find the strength to overcome the patterns you are tired of dealing with and reconnect with your values. I work with individuals, teens, couples, and any relationship arrangement. I typically start therapy by working through some of the more burdensome symptoms you are struggling with to give you some relief and tools immediately. From there, our work will get deeper and tackle changing long-standing patterns. If you are ready to work on yourself this way, I hope to hear from you.

Whether you’ve experienced complex trauma, are worried that your issues aren’t “big enough”, or fall somewhere in between, therapy is for you. I use a strengths based, trauma-informed, psychodynamic approach to help you become conscious of the patterns and cycles that are impacting your life. I am committed to exploring the fit of each therapeutic relationship and approach as it connects to your process and goals, and trusting you as the expert of your experience.

NEW; now offering 30 minute sessions for busy folks! Asking for help is hard. In a culture that expects independence and perfection it is difficult to admit we DON'T have all the answers and might need help. Clients say things like 'I have no idea what is wrong with me, my life is just fine but I think I might be depressed." Folks may be drinking too much, sleeping too little, resisting relationships, questioning career choices, or facing financial instability but whatever the issues, solutions are more easily found in a close therapeutic relationship.

Hey there, I'm Elena, a queer, sex-positive therapist specializing in working with LGBTQIA+ and non-monogamous clients.

Wherever you are on your path, I will meet you there and support you every step of the way as we work collaboratively toward your goals.

Today's confused, often over-stimulating times can be depressing, certainly anxiety provoking. Core questions surface. Who am I? My "image" aka my socially acceptable self? Yes, but much more. How do I find out? Become the most creative, productive individual I can be? How do I get beyond the apathy and life's daily frustrations, step into the fire of my meant-to-be self? A "foray" is an excursion into the unknown, a stretch and reach for the new and undiscovered. Employing "emotional courage" as the fulcrum, we work hard together to make recovery and growth the adventures they are meant to be.

Are you struggling with your relationships and sexuality? Looking for a specialist that can make talking about sex easier? I'm an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist and Relationship Specialist.

Hello and welcome! I believe it is my role as a therapist is to guide you as you take steps towards positive life changes, healing, and a healthy mind. I meet clients where they are and am here to help you meet your goals. My philosophy is that healing lies within our connection to others. Together, we can explore what may be holding you back from being your authentic self and can identify core areas that need to be healed for you to create fulfilling relationships. Our therapeutic relationship acts as a soft-landing place in an oftentimes harsh world, as well as a space for education, empowerment, and authenticity.

*Please note that I continue to be 100% distance based for the time being* It isn't always easy to reach outside of ourselves when we are feeling deeply lonely and experiencing extreme emotions. These are precisely the times, though, when it makes sense to try to find people with whom we can talk without too much fear of judgment or rejection. In my role as Therapist, I actively commit to strive to be one of those people; to meet you wherever you are emotionally, in a comfortable, confidential and respectful setting.

I believe in providing a safe space where clients can feel supported to explore their emotions, values, and beliefs. Working across multiple cultures and backgrounds, I have learned to encourage openness and creativity with compassion. Using an integrative approach, I incorporate different modalities with a focus on psychodynamic, relational, and trauma focused therapies.
