Therapists in Westminster, CO

Let's be honest; it's HARD to find a culturally sensitive therapist who understands what it's like to navigate life as a person of color, especially in the state of Colorado. How do you explain your deep love and respect for certain aspects of your culture while at the same time, acknowledge your disdain for the harmful parts of it? How do you sort through the trauma of not having your emotional needs met as a child while still feeling grateful for your parents' best attempts at loving you? How do you process the desire to assimilate into the dominant culture while not wanting to fully abandon important elements of your identity?

Trauma, chronic illness(es), and eating disorders are intense, unique experiences that can change the way we think, respond, and prepare for day-to-day activities. It can also change the way our body functions on a basic level. My goal is to provide a comfortable environment where everyone can explore traumas, create coping skills, and gain self-confidence. It is within a safe, comforting environment that people have the potential to create meaningful change in their lives.

If you are grappling with people-pleasing, codependency, disordered eating, or difficult family relationships, you're not alone. If you struggle with people-pleasing or codependency, you feel stuck in a negative cycle of relating that you can't seem to get out of. With disordered eating, you similarly feel trapped, yet also hopeless, disillusioned, and disheartened. (If you are struggling with disordered eating, check out my group flyer below). With your family, you vacillate between feeling close to them and feeling like you can't get far enough from them. Whichever of these difficult issues you are facing, I can help.

I work with individuals and couples from a holistic lens, blending traditional talk therapy with mindfulness and somatic practices to support your journey toward wellbeing, empowerment, and fulfillment.

Would you like to gain personal power, meet your potential, live and enjoy your life? I am here to assist you to empower yourself in your everyday life and make needed changes; whether it's in a relationship,career/job, marriage, or family. I will provide you with a positive, safe, non-judgmental environment where we will work together to achieve realistic goals that are uniquely important to you.

I am a licensed professional counselor candidate (LPCC) who helps children, individuals, couples, and families work through challenging events, assisting them to thrive. Creating a non-judgmental, safe, positive, compassionate, and supportive environment is one of my ultimate goals. I have experience in helping individuals and families manage anxiety, depression, health & eating issues, loss of a loved one, addictions, life transitions, divorce, deployments, and much more. I have worked with both children and adults diagnosed with ADHD and Autism, as well as helped their families through challenging times.

Maybe you're in a relationship where conflict is difficult to navigate, and you feel stuck in patterns that leave you feeling frustrated and alone. Maybe you're a parent who worries about your teen and their behaviors. Perhaps you're ready to heal past wounds and need support building a healthy sense of self. Having a space to talk to someone can help us feel seen, grounded, and ultimately allow us to discover our truest selves.

I enjoy working with couples, families and individuals to help deepen emotional connection, increase effective communication, and gain new insights into old, destructive patterns. I use empathy, compassion, and warmth to act as a collaborative partner to help strengthen your relationships. I believe everyone can grow in their relationships and believe that change comes from personal insights, emotional connectedness, and understanding the ways that our relationships, families, and society impact us. Taking the first step toward the uncertain can be difficult and scary. I am here to help transform your courage into lasting change.

My name is Felicidad Fraser. I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW). Simply put, life has moments that may throw you for a loop. It happens to all of us and sometimes you just need someone to talk to. You don't have to go it alone. Here at GIB, we offer trauma informed yoga and real talk therapy, as well as group therapy, and a family outreach liaison on board to help you through those troubling times, without shame or judgement. Let us help you, help YOU.

I provide mental health care to a variety of individuals from children to adults with a focus on grief, loss, and working through life changes/challenges. My practice is person-centered, so the counselor (Michelle) follows the client (you). I may come to session with ideas for interventions or questions in mind, but these sessions are for you. I follow what you would like to use your sessions for, and work with you to create therapeutic goals. We may work on building coping skills, increasing self-esteem, or adapting to changes.

Many of my clients say they feel stuck. Others say they are lacking inspiration, are tired of pervasive anxiety, sadness, stress and guilt; they just want peace. As an experienced Licensed Professional Counselor, I compassionately, yet directly support my Adult clients by looking at choices, thought patterns, strengths and weaknesses, while also identifying new coping tools. I have extensive experience in complex family dynamics, ADHD and HSPs. All these factors inevitably influence our sense of self-worth & how we show up in life & relationships. I'd love to help untangle and demystify why we KNOW better, but struggle to DO better.

Care and support are essential for living a full life, but support can present itself in many ways. Maybe you are seeking better coping skills, the resources to develop better boundaries or deal with conflict in a healthier way, or maybe you are simply seeking someone to listen and allow you the space to grow into the person that you want to be. I work with each client with the understanding that they have their own struggles and own way of needing support so that they can begin their journey to health and happiness. My approach is strengths-based, integrative, and inclusive.

Are you someone who never thought you would be looking for a therapist? Are problems that were once manageable now feeling as though they aren't? As a trauma-informed therapist, I am dedicated to opening spaces for those problems that are haunting you, or have haunted you for years. I consciously work to help you recognize that you are uniquely separate from your problems. Separating ourselves from the problems in our lives, such as grief, addiction, anxiety, love, or violence will guide us toward healing through crisis or times when we feel stuck.

I work with couples struggling with infidelity, injuries to the relationship, and couples wanting to feel more connected. I work with individuals struggling with relationship issues and trauma. My personal and professional passion is to serve the community through social justice and emotional healing.

Life’s ups and downs can be challenging and sometimes leave us feeling alone and misunderstood. You might be feeling stressed or overwhelmed — or longing for meaningful connections. If this sounds familiar, you are not alone. Sometimes change is expected, and other times it can surprise us.

As a therapist, I utilize an empathic and holistic approach to therapy. I believes that every aspect of a person, from their mental and physical health, to their personal identities and how they fit into the world around them, are key aspects of cultivating a positive therapeutic experience. My experience supports a wide range of populations, including the treatment of addictions, personality disorders, eating disorders, as well as minority issues and the LGBTQ+ community.

I believe that we are all born on this planet as whole, worthy human beings. I also believe that our various lived experiences — including trauma in all its forms — can have a big impact on our beliefs about ourselves and the ways we show up in the world. As a therapist, my goal is to help you get back in touch with your most authentic Self and uncover whatever it is that's preventing you from living your most joyful life. I work from a person-centered, collaborative, and integrative perspective, offering a non-judgmental space for clients to explore all parts of themselves.

I love working with individuals across the lifespan to increase insight, mobilize strengths, and meet individuals' unique treatment goals. I specialize in particular in working with children, adolescents and families in managing and regulating difficult emotions and behaviors, improving relationships and communication, and addressing past trauma. If you have been struggling with your child's difficult emotions and behaviors, feeling stuck or overwhelmed in your life, or feeling like you cannot quite get through to your teen, then you have made the right choice to be here.

Are you or a loved one experiencing anxiety, depression, trouble concentrating, trouble sleeping or struggling with relationships? Many symptoms can be caused by everyday life experiences or a lifetime of challenging situations. I provide services to help decrease and/or relieve the intensity of emotional dysregulation. With over 20 years of experience and years of education, I can provide support from past trauma or current trauma you may have experience. Those traumas may include; early childhood, sexual abuse/physical/religious/medical/birthing or anything that causes emotional disturbance. Working together, healing can happen.
