Therapists in Colorado Springs, CO

Building and living a life that we feel has meaning, laughter, & connection is not easy. When we don't have these things life can feel unpredictable, unsafe, & hard to face. I believe that on a human level we all want to feel like we matter, have purpose,& other humans who understand us. I have experienced feeling like my life was not worth continuing & a counselor supported me in creating a life that I am proud of. This is where much of my passion comes from to support others in doing the same. I have been supporting others for over 10 years to learning how to foster healthy relationships, coping skills, communication,& self love.

I have over ten years experience working with children, adolescents, and adults. I have specialized training in multiple areas to provide a broad spectrum of treatment. I have expertise working with trauma and PTSD issues. I specialize in working with military personnel. The spectrum of trauma work includes emotional and physical abuse, sexual assault, domestic violence, and combat-related trauma. I work with many clients to improve self-esteem, anger, depression, anxiety, relationships and adjusting to a multitude of life changes. I am a client-centered clinician who works with you to identify, harness and strengthen your unique attributes to overcome the challenges you face.

It is my passion to partner with people as they share their story. My hope is to offer compassionate and perceptive support to my clients. Seeking support takes courage and having support through challenges or traumatic experiences provides perspective, encouragement and hope that can have a remarkable impact on how you overcome those experiences. Life is a journey and it is my goal to equip and inspire with an infusion of hope to heal the pain and wounds of life.

Do you sometimes feel controlled by your emotions or disconnected from yourself or others? Whatever challenges you might be facing, I can help you identify and begin to understand them. I can support you with processing complicated, conflicting, and sometimes painful emotions in a safe and supportive environment. Through this process you will emotionally and intellectually grow and become the person you want to be. I am compassionate, caring, empathetic, and non-judgmental. I accept and embrace differences among each person, and I am committed to helping others achieve their goals and live their healthiest life.

We have all experienced various levels of loss, harm or violation in our lives and this will have an effect on us. Are you experiencing disordered eating, unwanted sexual behavior, depression, anxiety, anger or turning to substances for relief? Often people feel a pain inside they are unable to understand or articulate. Perhaps you're frustrated and beginning to feel hopeless or helpless to change. Transformation and change is possible but it is a process, not an event. Research shows that finding the right "fit" in a therapist is one of the most important factors in having a transformative experience in therapy.

Are you feeling stressed, anxious, distracted, or frustrated with where you or your child are at in life? Do you find yourself at a loss, but unsure as to why? Do you need systems and habits in place in move yourself forward to success? I work with individuals (6 years old and up!), parents, couples, and families on challenging the status quo in their lives, improving communication, and understanding a greater potential for the future. My heart is to join with you in creating full change in your environment - approaching situations with a multi-faceted view. You don't have to be stuck, and I would love to help.

Emily strives to invite individuals, couples, or families to come as they are, to feel safe, to bring the trauma, life stressors, anxiety and also life joys to a safe place. Emily understands that partaking in any therapy process can be challenging to start, and she commends you for taking the first steps to taking control over your life and mental health. Emily has eight years of working with children, adolescents, young adults, and families in the mental health field. Emily believes it is important to provide trauma-informed practice and a person-centered holistic approach to her therapy sessions.

We all need a place to unpack our brokenness, pain and struggle. We desire to have someone listen wholeheartedly to our story. The Sanctuary Collective desires to be a place that is safe, without judgement to create change within ourselves so that we can engage in the world. Our belief is that we have a mind, body and soul that works as one. Here we will collectively work with like-minded professionals that address you holistically (mind, body and soul). Please call or email to set up your appointment.

I have always had a genuine interest in the uniqueness and well-being of others. I believe that we can all grow from the situations we have experienced. Whether that experience be divorce, abuse, addiction, or trauma of some sort. Our brains & bodies have a way of healing themselves through processing. Certain experiences can cause us to feel alone, anxious, sad, depressed, unmotivated, angry, violated, exposed, and at times emotionally unstable. Here in therapy I walk the journey with you as we work through emotions, gain insight, and create more beneficial perspectives. I provide a space of safety, understanding, and compassion.

Life is not linear nor are the paths to healing, and healing with help is my goal. Regardless of age, walk of life, or faith my goal is to work with clients in a person-centered, non-judgmental way, creating an atmosphere of safety where intimate subjects can be freely discussed. I am a relational therapist that works through a lens of trauma-informed care and cultural humility.

Do your problems appear impossible to overcome? Or are you unsure about what might be wrong? A creative way to understand what causes you distress, a way that eases the pain and opens possibilities for living a satisfied life, is possible. I treat individuals who want to go beyond managing or coping with symptoms and instead want to develop a deeper understanding and sense of self.

Are you experiencing problems with addiction? Do you have trouble handling depression, trauma, and anxiety? I would like to be your guide in becoming sober and healing. As a experienced clinician, I recognize those that struggle with mental health and addiction are some of the most intelligent and artistic individuals. Often, those that experience anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts saw drugs and alcohol as a way to cope and calm their thoughts. I am here to walk you through the journey of hope to recovery, however that may look to you.

Humaning and adulting is hard. We do our best to juggle all the things and sometimes the coping strategies we develop backfire or no longer work. We all have baggage, some of it heavier than others, but what if instead of just slapping on band-aids, we could actually heal the root of the struggles? Therapy isn't about "fixing" you, it's about helping you navigate roadblocks, empowering you with greater choices, and rediscovering the inner power & wisdom you already possess. I'd be honored to embark on this journey to (re)connect with your authentic self and create a life that aligns with your unique path.

Do you feel like past trauma, negative experiences, and anxiety rule your life? Or maybe you see other people who have gone through hard things and are still able to experience joy, leading you to feel hopeless in your chasm of pain. It’s okay to take steps towards your journey of discovering what healing might look like for you and the person you are becoming.

Humans are creatures of habit & we desire comfort. However, this also means that when we feel safe, even if it defies rationality, we continue to stay stuck in patterns that can actually be damaging to our spirits and cause a great deal of pain & turmoil in our lives. Counseling can be a wonderful place for initiating change & facilitating growth. This is a place where taking risks feels not only necessary, but essential. This is a place where the status quo is no longer acceptable. Together, we can explore places of pain and help you harness your strengths and values to help you create more meaningful connections and healing.

Working with women is my forte! Women have a core value of relationships and this is how we filter our decisions. Moving, parenting, and other choices are made from this core value. We are the center of the family flower. When we grow and accept ourselves we go Beyond our natural Beauty!

I’m Daryk, I bring experience from production lines to graduate lecture halls in philosophy, and I am a counselor who helps with navigating those shrouded moments between what can no longer be and living into today authentically while honoring the past. I am here to provide practical tools to get your bearings quickly, secure a comforting workshop environment to test different perspectives, proffer humor when thoughts threaten to take themselves more seriously than the thinker, and above all, lend hope when hope begins to seem like a foreign experience.

Hi there! Thanks for stopping by! Do you ever think to yourself, "What's wrong with me?" or "How come I cannot snap out of it?" Let me tell you, there is nothing wrong with you and you simply cannot snap out of it. There are a lot of social stigmas when we have emotional struggles; we internalize these beliefs. Sometimes, we resist seeking treatment because it can be seen as a weakness because of underlying trauma or experience. This worsens over time whether you are depressed, anxious, fearful, frustrated, resentful, or angry. I believe many of us want to have understanding, support, empathy, and new coping methods.

Hello old friend, we may have never met, but I've seen your pain. The journey from suffering to satisfaction can be a long, uncertain, and winding road. It’s never set. But it's almost always worth it. If you’re ready, I’d like to share that journey with you. I may be able to help you find the peace and freedom that seem so tough to find. If you’re ready to explore your story with me. It’s probably much easier than you think. I can handle the neurobiology and therapeutic interventions, you bring a story and an open mind/heart.
