Family Therapy in 80030

Are you looking for a counselor who is genuine, warm, supportive, insightful? My holistic, informal approach is ideal for someone who wants to know themselves and change and grow in the process. Areas I work with include relationship issues, anxiety, panic attacks, self esteem, personal growth, emotional eating, life changes, depression, women's issues, stress, meditation and relaxation, spiritual searches, life transitions, and the quest for self-knowledge. I blend methods and approaches of many modalities: integrative, depth, existential-humanistic, family systems, cognitive-behavioral, developmental, awareness-based, and psychodynamic. I work with dreams.

The moment I realized I wanted to pursue a career as a Marriage and Family Therapist was during my first psychology course in high school. This course sparked my interest in counseling, specifically with couples and families. A core value of mine is how important relationships are with the world, our families, and ourselves. Learning about the developmental stages inspired me to focus on the importance of relationships. Relationships are fundamental to a child's upbringing, not just to children but at all stages of life, starting with childhood, leading to adolescence, and though adulthood.

Do you feel like your family is living in chaos? Is your child or teen struggling with school? Peers? With anxiety? I offer a strength-based and collaborative approach while working with children, teens, adults, and families. I would be honored to help you and your family learn the tools to make and maintain the changes needed to live the life you want to live. Although many therapists, including myself have a reduced fee, services are still not financially accessible for many families. I supervise Master's level interns with a sliding scale between $65-$25 per session. Everyone should be able to access mental health care.

Would you like to gain personal power, meet your potential, live and enjoy your life? I am here to assist you to empower yourself in your everyday life and make needed changes; whether it's in a relationship,career/job, marriage, or family. I will provide you with a positive, safe, non-judgmental environment where we will work together to achieve realistic goals that are uniquely important to you.

Do you struggle with body image and self-worth issues? Does your relationship with food need mending? After a decade of experience as a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and registered art therapist in California, Nevada, and Colorado, I have developed a system to help you become confident and live a balanced life.

If you are seeking to be seen, heard, and valued all for being uniquely you – you are in the right place! I specialize in working with individuals who would like to build greater emotional connection with self and others and tap into deeper meaning. This has included working with anxiety, depression, complex grief and loss, PTSD, and intergenerational family dynamics. As an allied LGBTQ+ therapist, I also work with individual clients in various relationship dynamics, including polyamory.

Hello! It has been a privilege to work in the counseling field for over 25 years. I bring experience, insight, compassion and support to the transitions, struggles and difficulties in life and in your life journey. My focus is on the strengths and resiliency that exist in all people and by the exploration of a positive movement forward.

I endeavor in what I strongly believe is my life’s calling in helping improve the overall quality of life for others. With a blend of genuine warmth and compassion, as well as a keen use of clinical training I received while attending New York University, I am committed to your desire for whatever change you feel is needed in your life while providing a supportive, non-judgmental, & client-centered atmosphere. I work with clients beginning in adolescence through senior years & currently hold a license to practice in Florida, Colorado, Iowa, & New Mexico.

I believe all of us strive for significance and belonging. I am passionate about walking alongside individuals and helping them tap into courage, connection, their own capability, and an environment where they count. By utilizing an integrative blend of evidence-based counseling modalities, my goal is to meet my clients exactly where they are through a relational therapeutic environment. I am a National Certified Counselor (NCC) and have pursued additional training in a variety of counseling methods.

Maybe you're in a relationship where conflict is difficult to navigate, and you feel stuck in patterns that leave you feeling frustrated and alone. Maybe you're a parent who worries about your teen and their behaviors. Perhaps you're ready to heal past wounds and need support building a healthy sense of self. Having a space to talk to someone can help us feel seen, grounded, and ultimately allow us to discover our truest selves.

Recognizing and asking for help is a sign of strength and I'm thrilled to support you in this process. I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) and nationally certified counselor (NCC) living in the Colorado Springs area. With over 13+ years of experience as an educator and counselor in the secondary school setting, I decided to extend my support to all in my community as of 2021. I have counseled in a private practice with individuals, couples and families from ages 12-90 years old.

I do virtual therapy with clients here in Colorado. Most of my clients are seeking assistance in mitigating the stressors in their lives. Family relationships; grief/loss; difficulties with parenting or accepting parenting; substance use; crises of faith...all these issues are present in my practice. Most are looking for direction; someone to help sort through the problem and achieve an adaptive resolution. They are distressed that they are at odds with family; concerned over the loss of control with substances; and some are wondering about their purpose in the world.

Are you feeling depressed or anxious? Are you feeling overwhelmed as a parent navigating the mental load of having a family? Do you feel stuck in repeat behaviors wondering why you can't shift or change? Do you feel triggered by your kids or partner? I offer both psychotherapy and Brainspotting to individuals who are looking to process and heal from their pasts so they can show up in their present lives feeling more whole. I have a special interest in supporting the perinatal population, mothering and parenting and have additional training in supporting maternal mental health. I am here for you when you are ready.

My approach to counseling centers around one fundamental principle: you are the expert on your own life. You, not your therapist or another provider, possess what is needed right now to take steps towards the healing you need. But connecting with this inner healing intelligence can be exceedingly difficult without the guidance and support of a specially trained, licensed professional. Depending on your specific needs and life circumstances, I will utilize one of several therapy modalities to help you to connect with your inner healer: accepting yourself more fully and unequivocally embracing your strengths.

During our session, you will be welcomed with genuine compassion, a sense of humor, and a supportive non-judgmental environment. We will work together to discover your strengths, and overcome obstacles and barriers that are standing in your way. Whether you are going through a transition, burdened with anxiety, depression, trauma, family, relationship, work conflict, or parenting stressors, I understand what it feels like to struggle and use creative individualized methods to help you navigate through tough times and foster your own resilience to help you thrive.

When you walk through my door, I welcome each of you into my tribe. The innate vulnerability and humbleness of your mere presence are both respected and appreciated. In our shared space, values are rooted in empathy, awareness, accountability, and integrity. I believe only YOU are the true expert and historian of your life, and I graciously stand beside you on this path of exploration, healing, and endless growth. I am an ear, a tool, a voice, and at times a guide to support you on this beautiful and winding path.

If you are angry, sad, depressed or anxious, I can help. I understand how difficulties in life can keep a person from experiencing a happy, healthy life. I believe that each person has the capacity to heal from the hurt caused by these experiences. As a therapist, my goal is to create a safe and secure environment that will allow you to feel the support needed to explore uncomfortable thoughts and feelings with a therapist who has the expertise to help.

I have worked with children, adolescents, adults and families for over 15 years, with a focus on increasing personal strengths and fostering healthier relationships.
