I have built a specialized practice integrating my clinical skills and credentials with my broad life experiences in corporate communication and product management in a Fortune 500 Corporation, commercial design, teaching, and owning a small business. I focus on young professionals who are facing relationship, social, academic, mental health, and professional issues, to increase self-awareness and make better informed decisions. I counsel with parents of young adults who want to address issues of autonomy, accountability, finances, and boundaries. The goal is to reach a healthy balance of independence while remaining connected.

Do you feel lost on your journey? I guide Individuals and professionals struggling with perfectionism and anxiety and people experiencing stress or relationship struggles. I guide people on epic life changing voyages through anxiety, depression, grief, terminal illness, trauma and violence.

We all are looking to live joyful, empowered lives. Yet when we run into challenges that are confusing and painful, it can create feelings that are hard to navigate. Some of these feelings might include fear, heart-break, shame, loneliness, uncertainty and hopelessness. Within the turmoil of these painful experiences, there is always an opportunity to heal and grow. At the core of every person is a well of goodness and love waiting to be accessed. My approach is to facilitate deep emotional healing, to help others tap into their strengths, move through challenges and restore joyfulness of being.

My approach to supporting clients relies on the neurobiological and systemic processes at work when challenging and traumatic events occur. I have been providing therapy and coaching services in Colorado for over a decade and specialize in delivering therapeutic care to complex trauma survivors of all ages. I have extensive knowledge in working with those who have a desire to increase their ability to navigate and process traumatic experiences, connect more meaningfully with their loved ones, and be more present and satisfied in their lives. Trauma isolates us; I believe that connection is our most powerful tool to fight back.

Emotional pain may feel unbearable, but there is hope and there is help. Suffering has meaning, and feelings offer guidance. Pain sends a signal where attention is needed. You have the power to change your life and create your happiness. I help individuals find meaning and guidance in their emotions, sharpen their preferences and focus, and create the authentic life that they desire. My clients feel safe to explore their experiences and desires, become empowered and learn skills to create their joyful life experiences on a solid foundation of intimate knowledge of their unique personal and cultural identities.

My name is Dante Valvo, LCSW, MFT, and I am a licensed clinical social worker who has been practicing in Colorado since 2018. I have extensive experience working with a diverse clientele in individual therapy, group therapy, and crisis/triage evaluations. Additionally, I was a clinical supervisor for many years, supporting new clinicians in the field. My chosen modality is primarily Psychodynamic; however, I also integrate Acceptance and Commitment therapy, Internal Family Systems therapy, and Emotionally Focused therapy. My approach is founded on warmth, humor, and a devotion to a strong therapeutic relationship.

Are you your own worst critic? Finding faults comes easy, but celebrating or loving yourself feels impossible. Do you often put the needs of others before your own, and find it difficult to say “no”? I am with you, and I would love to be a support for you. Let’s quiet that inner critic that can be so very loud, and make space for more more self-love, self-trust, and self-esteem. You deserve to feel confident, empowered, celebrated and loved. In our time together, we will practice self-reflection & self-compassion, develop effective coping strategies, and strengthen your relationship with yourself and others.

You are unique in the challenges you face and in your gifts. Whether you suffer from anxiety, depression, an unrelenting sense of despair, low self-esteem, are hyper-critical of yourself, feel disconnected from life or joyless, are frustrated with work or school, have problems in your relationships, or suffer with PTSD, your experience is particular to you. I will help you discover the underlying dynamics of your symptoms and patterns in ways that allow you to transform them. Rather than merely "fixing" a problem or “fixing” yourself, you will learn how to listen to and tend what troubles you.

I deeply respect the courage it takes to start therapy and am committed to providing an experience that resonates with you. ​ I believe change comes from authenticity and vulnerability, from deepening our understanding of how we became who we are. My sessions are safe and non-judgmental, all lifestyle choices are welcome. Together, we will explore ways to proactively approach your goals and makes changes to what holds you back. When you enter into my room, you are no longer alone. For Supervision, visit www.coloradocounselingsupervision.com.

Everyone comes to therapy with a unique story. Whatever may be bringing you in, I can assure you that no other person has told your story before. With a fresh, curious perspective, together we can explore life's problems to help you understand yourself more deeply. In shining a light on hidden beliefs, feelings, and patterns of behavior, you can feel free to decide whether the story you came in with is the one you want to continue living in. Problems that often lead my clients towards deeper therapeutic exploration include self doubt, relationship conflict, worries about sex and sexuality, addictions and compulsions, and trauma.

I offer a range of specialty services that generally fall outside the typical categories and tend to use a “whole person” approach to treatment and stabilization, though over the last 10+ years of intensive couple’s and individual work I’ve treated almost everything and welcome all issues large or small, no matter the complexity. I offer Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy as well as Spiritual Emergence Coaching and meditation training for issues where mental health and spirituality meet. Lastly, I offer specialty testing to precisely identify problems and diagnoses, then use these to best determine what treatment will be most helpful.

Life is a journey and no one escapes the trials and tribulations that come with living a full life. I believe in hope and I believe in everyone's ability to grow and change to become the best versions of themselves. In a collaborative effort, I can assist in your journey to ensure you have the opportunity to experience your own greatest happiness. I specialize in addictions, trauma, couple counseling, sex therapy, personality disorders, anxiety/depression, bipolar diagnosis, and grief/loss.

I offer a compassionate approach to psychotherapy that works through the body to bring unconscious information (often held as tensions,chronic illness, nervous system disorders, anxiety, depression, nightmares, low self-esteem and inabilities to function at full capacity)into conscious awareness, facilitating deep and lasting changes. Our childhood wounds and traumas become blocks to the manifestation of our purpose/gifts. I honor the inherent wisdom of my clients and help them find authentic expression of their gifts. My strengths are my ability to use my intuition to help clients "put the pieces together," and my own personal experience with resolving trauma.

"Play" has always been a place where I feel most alive, whether through physical activity, creativity, or connecting with others. Like so many people, the adventurous culture of Denver stole my heart. My favorite thing to do is play outdoors, preferably with my giant dog and the people I love. I believe that as humans we all crave that sense of playfulness and freedom. I am passionate about supporting others to find their own sense of play to create the life they want. In my practice, I primarily use a modality called Brainspotting. It is the most incredible thing I have ever had the privilege of sharing with my clients.
