Psychodynamic Therapists in 81301

I offer clients a safe, supportive place to express their needs and listen with empathy and non-judgmental acceptance. I work collaboratively with clients on their journey toward self-discovery, positive change, and healing. I welcome individuals of all ages, including children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I have considerable experience in working with trauma, domestic violence, childhood abuse and neglect, depression, anxiety, parenting issues, co-parenting, reunification, suicide ideation, and low self-esteem.

Are you missing the joy that you once felt in your day to day life? Do you notice your heart racing even while you are at rest? Are you trying to adjust to daily challenges after a recent loss, or lifechanging event? The human experience is fraught with difficulty, however I believe we can work together to help you find meaning and peace in your life. I feel privileged to accompany a person on their journey of self examination, healing, and evolution, recognizing the inherent dignity and worth of each individual and the interconnectedness of all humanity.

At its core, psychotherapy is an interpersonal learning setting where a constantly evolving therapeutic relationship teaches us how to confront life’s challenges and stressors. I believe in co-creating a personal experience for each client to better understand and interpret emotions while developing a more adaptive life narrative; this increases self-awareness and ultimately moves clients toward transformation. I welcome clients with compassion, curiosity, and authenticity while encouraging clients to become better aware of their growth edges as they navigate toward balance, self-acceptance, healthy boundaries, and positive change.

I realize that no two people are the same and as such tailor my therapy to meet the specific needs of my clients. When appropriate, I use specialized training in Clinical Art Therapy to provide additional avenues for the expression and depth work that deep healing requires. I interweave DBT, Psychodynamic Theory and depth work to meet clients where they’re at, provide experienced containment during strenuous treatment and guide them towards a greater life worth living. My practice specializes in treating adolescents, young adults, families and group therapy.

My goal is to create a safe and supportive space for you. Everyone seeks therapy for different reasons; I work with each client individually to identify your own goals. I believe the most critical aspect to therapy is the relationship therapist and client, I work hard to build trust and create a strong, caring connection. I enjoy working with college students, those in transition and seeking supports and who are part of the LGBTQIA2S+ community! I am strongly anti-racist in my work and acknowledge how power and privilege impact a persons life.

I work with adults and couples. I specialize in EMDR therapy, trauma recovery and mood disorders. I have significant experience working with grief and loss. I work with a variety of modalities that include CBT and mindfulness, as well as somatic and psychodynamic principles. Solution Focused counseling and Motivational Interviewing can also be helpful to client seeking more short term, immediate solutions. I am a person-centered therapist with a strength in acknowledging, supporting and respecting the unique view points and perspectives of each individual client.

I work primarily with individual adults, ages 18+ who find themselves in need of extra support, whether due to sudden life changes or longer term issues.

In unique ways, we all get stuck, suffer, feel anxious, fearful, out of balance, and, need to be seen and make meaning of our lives. To me, inner work is about coming into enough self-knowledge to discern what is true to our nature by learning to integrate and develop unconscious energies in more fruitful and creative ways. I offer depth-oriented therapy informed by my doctoral training as a Jungian psychologist, to partner with you in relating to unconscious energies that shape your sense of self, noticing the repressed or unfamiliar energies within, and uncovering the guidance and messages within your dreams and symptoms.

I'm Amanda, providing in person and telemental health services to Colorado residents from emergent adulthood into seniority. I seek to provide a comfortable, welcoming space for clients to work through life’s challenges both large and small. Together, we’ll devote our time to cultivating growth and self-awareness while building upon existing strengths. We all have the ability to change, grow, and self-heal. Although my goal is to help clients discover and recover authentic solutions for their unique challenges; during our work together you may find that the solutions are already there, I just encourage bringing them to light!

A sense of well-being, our most basic state, can be restored. Habitual behaviors, reactions, and styles of thinking contribute to our suffering and create stress, depression, anxiety and inhibit the full enjoyment of life, especially if emotional needs have gone unmet or traumas have gotten in the way. Through sensitive application of specific tehniques, clarity and and ease can return. I offer a subsidy with a low copay for clients who qualify as well as a sliding fee to make therapy affordable.

Hey, my name is Amy and I've been a trauma therapist for over 10 years, and have been helping individuals/adolescents/couples/families/parents for over 25 years. I also conduct diagnostic autism evaluations. I have a wide range of specialties and I will meet you wherever you are. "I will always follow your lead." If you prefer to just chat casually or for me to name your negative patterns directly - I'm in! Life can be stressful so let me help. Our minds are a powerful tool. Awareness is KEY. I love the human mind and promise to be sincere and genuine in my care throughout our relationship.

Sometimes the issues and struggles we encounter in life are almost impossible to resolve on our own. Whether it’s depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, lack of purpose, deep loss, or something else - you deserve personal guidance and support through the hardships you encounter. I offer a safe place where you can be yourself and learn powerful tools to manage and overcome life's stressors. I'll guide you in discovering the deeper currents that are influencing your life, and together we can get you unstuck by using an integrative body/mind approach that will take you beyond simply trying to "think your way to better."

Many clients are confused and unsure where to begin on their path for change. Unresolved trauma, grief, guilt, abuse, negative memories, abandonment, betrayal by friends or family can create low self-esteem, unregulated emotions, relational issues, self-isolation, fear of trusting others or being hurt, loneliness, self-harm, feeling burdened by self, suicide ideation, addictive behavior to mask pain, depression, anxiety, co-dependency. I have often helped clients gain self-compassion, love, respect, clarity and confidence with the understanding it takes time and patience. I offer a warm, accepting approach in a pleasing safe space.

I believe people seek out therapy because they are in need of non-judgement and unconditional positive regard, whatever it is that is causing suffering. I approach all of my sessions this way. So many of us are experiencing burn-out, depression, anxiety, even post-partum and find ourselves feeling alone despite the circle of friends and family surrounding us. That is where I come in. I am here to listen and support you in achieving whatever your goals are and I am always open to feedback as I know that people need to be heard and each person requires a different approach.

17 years in practice. Experienced with adults, couples, and families in transition, or experiencing disappointment with life. An important question we explore is: "How are the events in my life trying to expand me?" This is a powerful question, much more so than, "Why me?" I draw from psychological theory, neuroscience, and spirituality/mindfulness to help re-frame, unhealthy patterns and foster acceptance and compassion for self. Hypnosis strengthens the process. We explore in a safe and loving environment that enables one to look more closely at their own behaviors and thought patterns without defensiveness.

Do you long for a more real and creative life, one that is true to who you are in your depths? Do you have gifts you want to cultivate and offer? Have you met with obstacles and need support? Or has something happened to sever the sense of meaning you once had? Are you suffering from anxiety, sadness, feelings of deficiency or alienation? Are there life changes challenging your sense of who you are, requiring a new view? Making a regular appointment with yourself, witnessed and guided by a safe, non-judgmental, compassionate professional can be a huge support for your healing, growth, and unfolding.

You are looking to thrive. You want life to feel different, even if you're not yet sure how. As a client, I invite you to practice new futures and live into new narratives. Healing is creating possibilities, through safety and connection. I aim to support your shift into more resilient states and to discover more ease in your daily life. Populations I particularly enjoy working with include those between the ages of 20-40, queer folks, people who have experienced outdoor trauma or accidents, and those in life transitions.

As we move through life there are hurdles we encounter that can cause us to feel stuck, overwhelmed, and defeated. We may lose our sense of connection, self, or direction. Yet underneath that, I believe everyone possesses rich potential for purposeful growth and change. By cultivating resilience, nurturing curiosity, and practicing self-compassion we can soothe the parts of ourselves that need attention and feel secure in our belonging.

Hearing people's stories is what I truly love to do. That is why I became a counselor. That is what I would want to spend my time doing even if it wasn't my career. Human beings are complex, that is true. And we are beautiful in endless ways, good when all is stripped away, and valuable beyond anything else in all of creation. To know and be known is one of the sweetest experiences of life. Along with being loved and securely belonging to other human beings. I hope my work gives these kind of gifts.
