Therapists in Alamo Placita, Denver, CO

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.

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.

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.

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.

I work with those who believe that relationships (with ourselves, others, and our environments) are what make life meaningful. If you’re struggling to feel fulfilled or consistent, I can provide support while we work to identify and address the contributing issues. I have a special interest in the intersection between ADHD and self-esteem issues, but I work with individuals, couples, and families around a variety of issues. Whether your priority is to facilitate concrete changes, or to simply feel seen and understood, therapy with me will be centered around you and your unique needs and preferences.

Transformations often feel isolating and overwhelming; life-affirming changes may create distance from the people you care about. When we question ourselves, its hard to know where to turn for perspective. I love working with folks who see themselves as outside the gender and relationship mainstream; it takes a lot of courage and can also be painful to navigate. We can dig into what your identity means to you and how to embody it while building a life worth showing up for.

Feeling distracted or impulsive, procrastinating or have difficulty getting motivated? Does depression or anxiety take hold and you can't get anything done? Overwhelmed with job, household, school or relationship aspects of life? Feel like everyone else has it all together and you're just scraping by? Is parenting a child with special needs, or any child for that matter, becoming more difficult and you're unsure if you're doing things "right"? Do you feel your child's school could be doing more to support them? Let's discuss your unique needs, become more mindful, gain perspective and come up with a plan to reach goals together!

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.

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. We offer a holistic, gentle yet direct, and tailored approach that includes well-researched theories with a relational foundation. Issues can include communication, fear of sex, relationship conflicts, constant fighting, desire differences, sexual orientation, sexual dysfunction or dissatisfaction, polyamorous/open or kink relationships, "sex or porn addiction" or problematic sexual behaviors, infidelity, trauma or sexless marriages.

Hello, I'm glad you're here! If you're seeking extra support during challenging times or are ready to make transformative changes in your life, therapy can be a powerful ally. I'm Selena, a heart-centered clinician who believes in the profound potential of therapy as a vehicle to freedom and a more fulfilling life. Clients often come to me with concerns related to (C)PTSD, depression, anxiety, shame, self-criticism, relationship difficulties, life transitions, religious trauma, spirituality, identity development, women’s issues, and LGBTQIA-related concerns.

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.

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.

In the sea of white women who want to talk about your feelings: Here I am. Wildly curious, outrageously non-judgmental, and can empathize like it's my job (because it is). If it feels like you've got a one way ticket on the struggle bus, I'm here to respectfully disagree. You've got this. And I mean that even if it's crushing depression, anxiety, traumatic experiences, existential crisis, mommy/daddy/other relationship issues, substance abuse, loneliness, or systemic oppression (special shoutout to BIPOC folks and my queer/LGBTQIA fam).

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. At Arcana Counseling, I welcome adolescent and adult individuals and relationship configurations of all kinds. Whether you're facing mental health or relationship issues, moving through a difficult life transition, seeking coping or communication skills, or continuing on your journey of self-discovery, you don't have to do it alone. 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.

I specialize in couples counseling utilizing Emotionally Focused Therapy. I love to help couples restore love and trust to their relationship no matter what the hurt is that has caused discord in the relationship. I also love to help couples that have a good relationship, deepen their emotional bond and become each other's best friend and soul mate.

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.

Maybe you are asking yourself; some of these questions. - How can I stop worrying so much? How can I find hope again? How can I develop the relationships and connections I truly desire? How can I understand and manage big emotions and triggers? How can I get unstuck and move forward in the ways I want to in my life? How can I fill this big emptiness I feel and find joy again?
