Therapists in Colorado

I am a Colorado native and do my very best to live up to the stereotype! I love everything outdoors and try to spend as much time outside all year round, as I can. I am married and have two dogs, as well as a baby girl on the way. I enjoy reading, crocheting, doing jigsaw puzzles and spending time with family. My Bachelor's is from the University of Colorado, Boulder, in Psychology & Neuroscience and my Master's is from Argosy University, Chicago.

I have been working in the mental health field for over 40 years. I started working in mental health facilities in my early 20's while I was in college. I have worked with adults and adolescents in all kinds of modalities, yet I seemed to focus more toward young people and their families with substance abuse problems and anxiety. Some of that stems from having to deal with my own addictions in my late teens and finally getting clean and sober at age 20. Thus, I understand what it is like to be overwhelmed by addiction and the need to engage in a recovery process.

I am eager for the opportunity to help you create the change you wish to see in your life. I have assisted many clients with setting new life goals, creating healthy boundaries, build coping skills,provide deep insight, self-awareness and reflection. I want to be your next big support system, I want all my clients to look back ten years from now and remember how my therapeutic services greatly impacted the quality of their lives!! The goal of my services is to provide a non-judgemental, empathetic and safe environment for my clients and assist clients with anything that may be troubling them.

As an Intervention specialist, I use the Love First model of intervention.

I help the family plan every aspect of the journey through Detox, treatment and after care planning. I work mostly with drugs, alcohol, and other addictions. I am a certified peer coach through NAADAC as well. I do a great job with relapse prevention plans, emergence or reemergence into a support community, sponsorship suggestions and accountability.

AYCMARC, (We are open when everyone else is closed) asks you this question: true or false. The only person you can change is your self (surprise! answer). Hi my name is Mark M Miller. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Licensed Addiction Counselor (LAC) and the founder of at Your Convenience Mental Health and Relationship Counseling of Denver (AYCMARC). The answer to the question is false. Psychology and systems theory show us that any change in the system (family, group or society) changes the system. Therefore a more truthful axiom is the only person you can willingly change is yourself.

For the past 20 years, I have been a successful clinician in the areas of relationships, trauma, anxiety, depression, codependency, family of origin issues, substance abuse and couple challenges. Working on change is difficult and I'm here to help facilitate each client to become their authentic self. I am licensed in two states (California and Colorado) and can meet in person or via teletherapy, depending on where you live. With trauma work, however, meeting in person is the only choice I offer.

With over twenty five years experience in El Paso and Teller counties working with individuals, families and groups, I believe that difficulties often bring us to a place of change. Change comes with an assortment of feelings: relief, fear, sometimes both. My personal background is rich in diversity and experience. With unconditional acceptance and compassion for my clients, I am known for my work with a variety of people. We identify the problem and then focus on solutions together. I am a licensed family therapist with level III certification in addictions counseling and experience working with individuals and groups as well.

It is my belief that as humans, we are wired for connection and community. Adverse life experiences can bring us to a place of isolation and addiction. One of the greatest experiences as a therapist is watching others overcome and grow through adversity, along with the resilience it takes to do so. Maybe you feel stuck in your issues or feel unsure of the next steps.. My purpose as a therapist is to create space for you to build the life you want and a self acceptance that highlights your innate worth.

I believe that every individual, couple and family has its own unique strengths that are sometimes hard to remember when feeling overwhelmed and alone. I understand what a big step it can be to decide on a therapist, therefore, I offer an initial 30 minute session at no charge as an opportunity for us to decide if we are a good fit or to provide you with additional resources to access. I enjoy working with families, couples and adolescents and use a strengths-based approach in my practice. I'm really looking forward to working within the Conifer community

Our clients struggle with regulating emotions, distress tolerance, core emptiness (confusion about oneself), as well as interpersonal conflict with frequent emotional chaos. Our time-limited, solution-focused technique is often sought to augment a person's existing individual therapy. Our approach is also effective in treating depression, self-injury, anxiety - focusing on coping skills. We are comprised of 4 licensed clinicians offering both individual, couple and group therapy.

My practice is primarily focused on people struggling with traumatic experiences and substance use. Over the last 14 years I have worked primarily with military veterans.

Trying to figure out who you are? What your purpose is? Looking to improve relationships? Wholehearted living is a concept that I have adopted in the name of my practice and in the way I interact with each client. "It means cultivating courage, compassion, and connection and to think... I am enough... Yes I'm imperfect, vulnerable, and sometimes afraid but that doesn't change the truth that I am also brave and worthy of love and belonging" - B. Brown. I believe any person deserves to feel whole. This is a process of returning to yourself through excavation, unlearning, and remembering who we are.
