Hi! I am a licensed clinical social worker and licensed addiction counselor that specializes in working with folks with substance use disorders, dual diagnosis, bi polar, ADHD, and more! My goal as a therapist is always to help my clients build a life they want to live through empowerment, a systems lens, and integrating many therapeutic modalities to serve each individual client.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Choosing to see a Therapist can be a big decision. I'll help you take those first few steps to get to know yourself better, build stronger relationships, and heal from the parts of you that hurt. I enjoy working with ages 18 and up, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and anyone going through life transitions. My approach is fairly direct and I utilize strengths-based and solution-focused methods. We'll work to define your goals and move closer to reaching them (or surpassing them) in a safe, confidential space. I provide remote/telehealth therapy so you can have your session from the comfort of your home or couch and save time in your day.

Heal from the pain of the past, to live the life you long for- Sometimes adverse experiences of life resurface in the form of depression, anxiety, stress, and unhealthy coping strategies. We push down traumatic events and assaults on our true self as way to survive. This strategy only works for so long until the pain resurfaces, and we are faced with the choice of leaning into the healing, or diving deeper into avoidance. If you want to access healing via confidential videoconferencing sessions using EMDR, mindfulness, and trauma informed therapy, please call (303) 357-6179 for a complimentary consultation.

My name is Garland Middleton and I am a Licensed Social Worker and therapist. My work is rooted in the understanding that therapy is a vulnerable and sometimes intimidating journey, unique to each person that comes in my office. Feeling safe and comfortable with your therapist is the only way to get to a place of self-exploration. Through a collaborative experience with client and therapist, I hope to help one discover a sense of compassion and self-validation, identify and heal past traumas or pain, and nurture a healthy relationship with self and others around them.
