Therapists in Loveland, CO

Archways Counseling Center provides individuals, families, children and parents a safe place to begin their process of change. Clients come to Archways for a variety of reasons including child and adolescent development, difficulties in school, behavior problems, divorce, parenting skills, depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, stress and grief and loss. Archways Counseling Center specializes in working with young children through Play Therapy in order to provide children with an environment in which they can truly thrive.

Play is the way a child communicates and processes the world around them. My goal is to offer a safe space for children to be themselves in order to work towards their therapeutic goals. I provide therapy to the child along with parenting support to their caregiver, as both are necessary for growth and healing. I recognize that no two children are alike and place value on getting to know the unique needs of each person, which allows me to adapt my work to meet clients where they are. I look forward to meeting you and beginning our journey!

I have worked with youth and families in a variety of settings for most of my life and in a clinical capacity for more than a decade. While I enjoy working with all ages on a variety of issues, I specialize in anxiety, behavior issues, trauma, adoptive and foster families, parenting support, parent-child relationships, identity, and life transitions (especially related to parenting, early school years, and college). I highly value collaborative relationships, as you are the best expert on yourself, and I individualize all services to meet your particular needs and goals. I am honored and humbled to join clients on their journeys.

School. Friendships. Play. Sleep. Family. These are the tasks of childhood. Often when our young children are struggling, we are told to wait, that they will grow out of it or that this phase will pass on its own. Unfortunately that can lead to older children who continue to struggle, only on a bigger stage. We are seeing school avoidance, irritability, isolation, and social difficulties starting at younger and younger ages.

My goal is to provide clients caring, concrete, and practical answers using proven-effective treatment options. I feel strongly that clients should be a collaborator in their treatment and see improvements quickly. Parents with children who have behavioral problems are often exhausted and at the end of their rope. Parent-Child Interaction Therapy provides quick solutions and reduces parental stress. Couples often seek therapy when communication is breaking down. Both PCIT and Gottman Method Therapy inform my work with couples and families.

As a Registered Play Therapist who specializes in working with children 10 and under, I believe and know that children cannot process the same way that we adults do, which is why talk therapy won't work well for them. For children, play is their language and the toys are their words (Landreth). I am trained to communicate and use their play to reach their goals ( little do the kids realize what important work they are doing!) My job is to help them realize their best selves while helping you as their parent and caregivers understand and parent them in ways that can speak not only to their strengths but yours as well.

*Accepting New Clients* I am a certified PCIT therapist specializing in Parent-Child Interaction therapy for children (2-7) struggling with tantrums, defiance, and behavioral issues. I also provide play therapy (2-12), adolescent/teen therapy (12-18), and adult therapy for those seeking support.

Many will enter therapy thinking, “What have I been doing wrong to get here?” I meet clients and think, “What have you been doing right to make it this far?” Yes, I think a bit backwards, but it’s what allows me to find innovative ways to help clients move forward using their strengths. Individuals, couples, and families who have previously felt stuck in complex issues with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief & loss, adoption, parenting, and relationships report finding relief through embracing their strengths and being reassured that their experience is valid. This helps tap into their innate ability to heal and renew balance.

My name is Erin Thomas and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Northern Colorado. In therapy, every client is different and has differing needs for the healing process to occur. This is why the most important step to me in working with a client is establishing a trusting relationship at the beginning of therapy so that I can understand how to help in the most effective way. Connecting with others in a way that supports them through difficult times in their lives has been my passion and I continue to look for new ways to help those who struggle.

I know that choosing a counselor or therapist is a very personal and individual process. With over 10 years of experience working with Children, Adults, Families, and Couples, I have seen my clients make significant changes to improve their lives and the lives of those they love. I feel honored to be a part of and to witness my clients growth and progress. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I believe deeply in the power of counseling and would be happy to meet with you to discuss your specific needs.

I currently specialize in providing evidence-based and trauma-focused psychotherapy to adults, couples, and teenagers in order to strengthen resiliency, promote stability in the home, and improve family functioning. I have extensive experience working with adults with depressive or anxiety issues, couples, behavioral issues, LGBT issues, and school-based issues. I work directly with individuals to ensure that even the most challenging or threatening behaviors can be managed.

Do you feel as though you are parenting several children in one? Do you have an adoptive child that is struggling? Does your child: deny remembering specific events, vary in his/her abilities, rapidly change moods, steal, hoard food, lack social skills, show physical/verbal aggression, react disproportionately to specific situations? Are you confused by your child's behavior and frustrated that your current parenting skills/techniques are not effective? Are your child's teachers reporting inappropriate or disruptive behaviors at school? Would you like to gain hope, learn new skills, and see more of who your child really is?

Life can be complicated for different reasons. Sometimes more support can help. At any age, life can be overwhelming, negative behaviors can persist, relationships trapped in hurtful patterns, or inner worlds caught in negative thinking which stretch our coping, and cause stress. In all this WE WANT TO FEEL BETTER! Counseling offers a private, confidential space to get help. It is an honor to listen and join in your life story. I work with adults/couples/families/teens and children, listening to your goals to bring balance, health, wellness, peace and more happiness.

I am accepting new clients! Cynthia is a dedicated Marriage and Family Therapist committed to help individual’s foster healthier and meaningful relationships that they desire. Cynthia’s skillset leads by the means of empathy and connection working with children, individuals, teens, couples, and families as they navigate various challenges in life. I work collaboratively with my clients to identify personal strengths, hope and encouragement, effective communication strategies, resolve conflicts, intimacy concerns, parenting, healthy boundaries, empower those who have experienced trauma, traumatic health diagnosis, or grief and loss.

“I don't feel like I have anything to look forward to.” “I will never get over this breakup.” “I feel like nobody gets me.” “I think I'm past something, then I overreact.” “I spend most of my time worrying or avoiding." Do any of these resonate with you? We all struggle with difficult circumstances, thoughts and emotions at some point. Most times we can move through these but sometimes we get stuck. This does not mean we are broken, bad, or unloveable; although it can certainly feel that way. You are not alone! There is hope for a satisfying life. Having the courage to ask for help can be the first step toward positive change.

Families are beautiful and complicated. I believe we are born into complex systems, then we go and mess those systems up further by adding more people to them. Our interactions with other people inform what we think and how we feel about ourselves. People thrive when they belong in healthy relationships with connection, communication and joy. This systemic lens informs my work with families, couples and individuals.
