Self Esteem Therapists in Crested Butte, CO

Do you tend to think in all or nothing thinking? Are you all in, or avoid even starting? Super happy or feel really down? Do you see this impacting your relationships or peace within yourself? I get excited to help people restore that balance! This lack of balance can play out in many ways: chaotic relationships, work stress, lack of self esteem, poor body image, unusual eating habits, creating rules for yourself to feel like you’re staying in control. Let’s find a way to reestablish you not having the illusion of control, but authentically feeling that you are empowered and trust in yourself to make the correct choice.

I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you on your journey toward healing and self-discovery.

In our sessions, you can expect a collaborative and empathetic approach.

It's my passion to help individuals and couples explore new pathways toward living a more peaceful life led by wisdom and joy. For the past 30 years I've been working in the private and public sectors aiding people experiencing stress, depression, anxiety, addictions, codependency, low self esteem, body image, grief, sleep issues, PTSD, and conflictual relationships. My academic qualifications include studies in Tel-Aviv, Oxford and the USA.

If you want to improve your life or relationships, you are in the right place. If you are here, chances are you want a better relationship with your partner, or with yourself. You want to feel better and find solutions to your problems. You are not alone. The good news is, there is hope. Marriage and Family Therapist’s have a specialty - to see beyond an individual and help create change that lasts.

Life is (blank). How do you fill in the (blank)? We are all striving to feel heard, understood and connected, but all too often this business of being human – our personal histories and our entangled thinking – brings struggle and suffering. We can lose our purpose, passion and vision. We can feel unsteady, and disconnected from our true self. I can help. My counseling approach is not about discipline, hard work or grit. It is about stilling the mind, seeing clearly, removing barriers and realizing your innate capacity. Capacity for wisdom, love, and resiliency. Capacity to realize your full potential.

Do you need help managing emotions or strengthening primary relationships? Are you looking for skills to cope with unpleasant symptoms? Is your quality of life less than you'd like? Are you ready to make a change? No matter how difficult one's situation, nor complex the issues, we can work together to define achievable goals that, once realized, can bring meaning, contentment and reward to life. If you're unsatisfied but ready to take an active role in creating the life you want, strengthening your mental health and wellness in the process, I'm ready to help!

My ideal client dares to do the work in therapy and integrate that work outside of the session. I facilitate the creation of secure functioning relationships. For individual clients, that means strong attachment bonds to their sense of self so they can self-regulate and begin to create new opportunities to live a life of beauty, excitement, and exploration. While for my couples therapy clients, we will work on building secure functioning relationships within the partnership through the processes of non-violent communication skills and repairing ruptures promptly.

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker who focuses on the needs of men in their twenties and thirties. Some of my clients are experiencing interpersonal crises, or require talk therapy as part of psychiatric care, but many of my clients simply find it beneficial to meet once a week and discuss what is going on in their lives. My clients come to see therapy as a way to connect and accept the values and desires that make them who they are, and also to find the power to cast away habits that are not resonate with who they are. The goal is more genuine freedom.

My name is Christine Osmundson. I am a licensed private practice online Telehealth provider practicing in Colorado and Utah with the Sondermind and Tava Health Networks. I have a master's degree in Applied Psychology from New York University and 1 year of post graduate studies towards a Ph.D. in Child and Adolescent Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy at the Tavistock Institute in London, England. I've worked with several populations of individuals, couples and families for over 25 years within several capacities i.e., psychiatric inpatient, residential, day treatment, school, mental health centers and private practice.

I help people ditch the codependence label and dig into their relationships and embrace saying No to Others and Yes to Yourself. Together we will learn about the people you invite into your life, the ones who seem to keep showing up uninvited, and where you need a little help to make sure you have a choice in who comes and goes. My clients struggle like you do. Despite knowing how to take care of almost anything in life, you need a little help pausing and turning toward yourself to find out what you want to know.

I learned something following a mentor of mine, “life is never made unbearable by circumstances, but only by lack of meaning and purpose.” This has been a foundation for me and a belief that I feel can best support individuals along their journeys. This belief coupled with a genuine and empathetic counseling relationship are factors that I feel can help facilitate re-connection and self discovery while repairing the self of past wounds. Mindfulness and curiosity can help bring awareness to feelings of angst and sadness that reside within us. My hope is that I can help you to navigate through life, despite its circumstances.

I like to provide an individualized treatment approach to each client that comes through my door. I believe each individual is unique and that the best treatment plan is that which is tailored to each client. I am here to walk with my clients on their path to healing and healthy change. Whether that be providing support, a safe space to talk, challenging one’s self talk, helping one discover their true identity or something else that will provide the support you need while on your healing journey.

My aim is to help you better understand your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, what they mean, and how they relate to your present-day struggles and challenges. I understand that each client faces unique challenges and needs to work on themselves at their own pace, I approach every client with an open mind, and never makes any assumptions about your life experience. Together, we will work to deepen your awareness, understanding of your desires, patterns of relating, so you may experience a more authentic and fulfilling life.
