Therapists in Colorado

I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist and I have over 10 years of experience evaluating and treating individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders. I also have specialized training in evaluating and treating children and adolescents with learning disabilities, intellectual and executive functioning difficulties, developmental challenges, ADHD, behavioral difficulties, as well as neurological and genetic disorders, and anxiety, and mood disorders. I provide guidance for parents, and consultations with educators and schools regarding how to best facilitate the development of children. I also provide psycho-legal consultation in cases related to individuals with developmental disabilities that are involved in the legal system.

Taking this first step in searching for a therapist or mental health evaluator could be stressful. My free initial phone consultation is available for you to ask me any questions you wish and ease your fears. During "virtual or in-person" meetings, I will help you understand your current/past issue, while guiding you in your road to healing. I also conduct Mental Health Evaluations for a variety of purposes, including custody cases, immigration, school, or personal reasons. If you're involved in a custody case, I can provide reunification therapy or court-appointed Child & Family Investigations/Parental Responsibilities Evaluations.

NOW ACCEPTING NEW MEDICAID CLIENTS - I believe every human being has the capacity to grow and to accept themselves for who they really are. Sometimes our life's experiences, particularly traumatizing ones, hinder our ability to see light, hope and gratitude. There are things that we go through in life that we didn't ask for or even deserve to experience it; however, I believe you have what it takes to find the confidence, the strength, the compassion that you need to be happier and whole. We are a compassionate, culturally competent team of counselors who are looking forward to embarking in your journey towards personal healing.

Our approach utilizes the biopsychosocial approach to evaluation and treatment; this means we strive to understand the biological, psychological, and social factors that influence the health and wellness of our clients. Our services are often referred to as "behavioral medicine" or "medical psychology;" this is due to taking a holistic approach in our treatment considering the whole person - physical, mental, emotional, and social. We often work collaboratively with other professions such as primary care physicians, occupational therapists, social workers, chaplains, and others who are important to one's individual network of care.

My name is Agnieszka Baklazec and I along with three other therapists in my practice along with two prescribers are here for you. We believe that some of life events are traumatic enough and difficult enough that we lose sight of who we truly are as people. We believe therapy can help us get to that beautiful state when, even the imperfections, make up for a beautiful human being each of us is. We also believe that therapy should be affordable and accessible, therefore, we have the ability to offer sliding scale. This option is usually ideal for someone who does not have insurance or chooses not to utilize it.

My training for my doctorate was in child and family clinical practice and I obtained post-doctoral training in forensic psychology. I also received over 300 hour of training at the Neurosculpting Institute. In addition to my clinical and forensic practice, I have provided consultation services in such settings as Head Start, Federal Corrections, and Child Protection Services and for agencies serving the developmentally disabled. A large part of my practice has always included providing psychotherapy for children, adolescents, couples, and families. I have been married for over 30 years and have seven children.

Present-moment awareness -- mindfulness, are generally the missing pieces in the field of general psychology. I am interested in working with individuals dealing with addictions, compulsions, irrational thinking and/or general life problems. I strive to engage the human spirit of each individual in a joint effort to identify and manage or overcome problems. Each person has a vast background and different experiences. Each treatment plan must be tailored to the individual. I offer insight, energy, structure, and support. It is exciting and rewarding to me to be part of your journey toward health and happiness.
