Sexual Addiction Therapists in 80903

Schedule now through my website in my bio! Are you overwhelmed by disturbing intrusive thoughts that seem too terrible to talk about? Do you ever feel powerless to stop looking at pornography? Or are you a man grappling with how to live more authentically in an increasingly complex world? If you identify with any of these struggles, please know that you are not alone and that you can find your way to greater well-being. Opening up about things that you might feel ashamed of or distressed by can be scary, but I believe these struggles deserve to be understood with deep compassion and that facing them head-on is the way forward.

Navigating the rivers of life can become rocky. Sometimes we need an objective person to help us through the rough rapids. I can work with you to develop new strategies for success, plot out new courses, and feel better in time. I do so by empowering you with confidence in a safe environment. I have over twenty years of experience working with issues of depression, anxiety, trauma, relationships, family, grief, and finding personal meaning. More specific to me, I have specialties working with spiritual issues. I have written two books on psychology and spirituality.

Picking a psychotherapist you trust can be difficult. People who are seeking help have been hurt. Often times, sought out help in the past and have been hurt as well. I see it being hard to live this life without sustaining some sort of injury. In this way, we can all use help. We are all different in how we interpret the world around us. Reasonably, your therapy (help) matches this belief, you are unique and how you'll be helped will also be unique. Having someone not attached to the events of your life can facilitate new meaning and in turn, new choices as to how to see life now, historic injuries and where you want to go next.

It is my belief that as humans, we are wired for connection and community. Adverse life experiences can bring us to a place of isolation and addiction. One of the greatest experiences as a therapist is watching others overcome and grow through adversity, along with the resilience it takes to do so. Maybe you feel stuck in your issues or feel unsure of the next steps.. My purpose as a therapist is to create space for you to build the life you want and a self acceptance that highlights your innate worth.

Gabbie (she/her) believes that one of the most powerful aspects of therapy is developing and nurturing a therapeutic relationship in which you feel safe expressing who you are with total authenticity, and without fear of judgment. Taking that step into vulnerability can feel scary and unsettling, and Gabbie is grateful for the opportunity to join you in this courageous journey towards self-discovery and self-acceptance. Gabbie will meet you where you’re at with warmth and utilize meaningful research and evidence-based practices to give you skills to identify and overcome your obstacles.

Hey there! I am so glad you found me. I care so deeply about humanity, relationships, love, and individuals (like you) having the freedom to be themselves.

I work with survivors of fundamental, religious & spiritual cults, sexual assault & childhood developmental trauma.

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.

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.

Feeling sad, lonely, or stuck? Always feeling like life and everything in it hates you? Can't shake memories or events from the past? Do you work hard but have no time to do anything else? Do you just want to be seen? Are you in a relationship that struggles to have a civil conversation? Can you not go a day without yelling, calling names, or blaming each other for actions that happen? Has your sex life disappeared and you have no idea why? Have you or your partner been unfaithful and you truly want to work to find forgiveness and repair your relationship?

It takes courage to admit I need help. Many of us try to get through life's difficulties alone, which sometimes seems to make matters worse. I seek to create a collaborative environment, where the client(s) is the expert on their own life. We work together to create a safe, healthy, space where the presenting issues can be explored and worked through. Whether it is past, unresolved, trauma poking its head into daily living, a recent life change that is overwhelming, or a couple needing to figure out how to feel close and intimate again we will work together to find the best path forward.

You want to be emotionally healthier and happier, but you may not know how to obtain that goal. You want help figuring out what tools, strategies, or changes will help you reach your emotional health and relationship goals. We can help.

As your counselor, I am your partner in self-understanding and change. My role is to support and guide you toward an understanding of who you are and who you want to be. We work together as you determine the changes you would like to make, and create plans for making those changes real. The end goal is a closer alignment of your self-understanding, your lived experience, and your ideal self.

I believe in five distinct ideas: 1) every person is unique with their own perspectives and ideas, 2) we all struggle at some point, 3) as human beings, we all have within our power the ability to help others, 4) therapy is a powerful and useful tool, and 5) happiness is limitless. Whether I meet you in person or in an online session, the space becomes yours. It's about your wants, your needs, your struggle, your hopes, your dreams, your plan, and your vision of the future. My purpose in life is to help others achieve goals. My passion is doing so through therapy.

Finding the right therapist is no different than finding the perfect dentist, doctor, or other medical professional. In many ways, it may even be more important to you. Your therapist may know more about you than any other person in your life. I take this responsibility very seriously. I realize that you are trusting me with one of your most precious assets, your mental health. There have been times in my life that I have needed the assistance of a good therapist, and I understand how important it is to you.

As you search for a therapist, consider the value of hard-won experience when it comes to seeking help to live your best life. I've spent the last 20 years sharpening my skills and education as an individual therapist, couples counselor and mental health columnist for the Denver North Star newspaper. I'm the only Denver area therapist trained in AIT (more on that below). What is compelling you to consider therapy at this time? Whether you're mildly curious about what therapy can offer you to bring you to a more meaningful life, or ready to face some of the deeper issues, let's talk about how I can help you.

Setbacks are not failures but questions asked of our own desire. Finding the way forward sometimes means exiting first through the back door of the symptom. You may yield to your symptom in order to suffer less (or more), or resist it the way you resist scratching that itch that won’t ever keep you from scratching it again, or you can anesthetize it or otherwise exist while it is simultaneously taking up space within you, speaking with your own body, killing your own time. But you can’t really live with your symptom, can you? In analysis the symptom becomes a most singular path to the peculiarity of your own unprecedented being.

When you suffer a traumatic event, your entire world changes. This can cause fractured relationships, thoughts of suicide, self-sabotaging behaviors, problems with concentration, and feelings of anger, depression, and emptiness. Do you feel alone, disconnected or unusually angry and/or depressed? Do you question how you will make it through another day? The counseling relationship provides a safe and supportive environment to explore personal relationships, build self-esteem, reduce stress and anxiety, address maladaptive behaviors and heal from traumatic experiences.
