Therapists in Denver, CO

Hello there! I am currently only accepting teletherapy clients in Colorado but should be able to get you scheduled for a session quickly! I am a therapist working in the Denver area, near Englewood and Littleton. I have many years experience working in the counseling field, including significant time in school counseling, in an inpatient hospital setting, and in private practice.

Now accepting new clients! I am passionate about helping individuals, specifically adolescents and young adults navigating the challenges of life. When working with me you can expect an approach that is collaborative, compassionate, integrative, and strengths-based. Therapy will be guided by your unique and individual needs. My goal is to create a safe and welcoming environment where people can experience healing and change. I often practice from a person-centered approach which can vary depending on my client’s specific needs.

Initiating therapy can often feel scary, which is why my priority is to create a secure, warm, and welcoming space for you, ensuring your greatest comfort. My therapeutic approach is infused with understanding, empathy, and authenticity. I strive to establish a unique rapport with all my clients, fostering an environment for you to learn, evolve, and actualize the life you desire. It's an honor to observe both the healing and growth that occurs during the process of therapy. I believe magical things can happen when there is a strong therapeutic relationship that is built off trust and a genuine connection.

My love of therapy is rooted in the opportunity to witness and facilitate change. Perhaps you already know what in your life you'd like to change. Perhaps you are simply aware that you're not where you would like to be. Or perhaps you've had an experience you'd like to understand and get some clarity around. Therapy is a powerful and important pathway to achieving change, improving insight, and living a happier, more fulfilling, meaningful life.

Let me help you heal, grow, and strengthen your relationships. I consider it a privilege to sit with each of my clients, and strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where they can work through sensitive issues. I'm here to listen closely and kindly, and empower individuals to begin changing the negative thoughts and emotions that can cause pain and limit life opportunities.

Do you long for freedom to show up differently in your relationship with yourself, including your relationship with food, your body, and the way you relate to the natural world? Hello! I'm Sara (she/her). I can help you reconnect with your authenticity, break free from behaviors, and meet yourself with more compassion as you journey toward full, embodied recovery. By gaining a deeper understanding of who you are, we will begin to help you move from a place of connection and desire, rather than a place of fear. Together we will uncover the patterns that keep you stuck, learning the old story to make space for a new one to unfold.

I offer a free 30-minute virtual consultation - Anxiety has snuck up on you, and you're not quite sure how. In your day-to-day you've realized that you're overwhelmed, feeling nervous, second-guessing yourself, and wanting desperately to simply come up for some air. You're here because you want to feel happier and enjoy your life again - and together we can get you there! I'll work with you to ease sources of anxious thoughts and feelings, heal old wounds, and discover what makes you excited about life. I specialize in treating anxiety, low self-esteem, problematic attachment patterns, and substance use.

Are you feeling weighed down by persistent unwanted thoughts, feeling “stuck”, and unsure what to do next? Do you feel that you have an idea of “why” you engage in certain patterns and behaviors, but want learn the “how” to make sustainable changes? You’re on the right track to pursuing different avenues to navigate the challenges that come with anxiety, OCD, depression, interpersonal relationships, and self-esteem. It is normal to feel isolated and defeated when faced with life’s stressors, but rest assured you are not alone. Together we will create a safe environment to practice new coping skills, bringing peace to your life.

I believe true connection and healing are possible, and that therapy holds the capacity for profound transformation. We'll work within a supportive and accepting environment navigating areas relating to belonging, past trauma, owning the strength of sensitivity and confidence in self expression. I specialize in supporting identities and interests such as high sensitivity, low self esteem and self worth, spirituality, codependency, childhood emotional neglect, addiction, adult children and siblings of substance users, life transitions, anxiety, depression, loneliness, and Bipolar disorder.

I work with those who believe that relationships (with ourselves, others, and our environments) are what make life meaningful. If you’re struggling to feel fulfilled or consistent, I can provide support while we work to identify and address the contributing issues. I have a special interest in the intersection between ADHD and self-esteem issues, but I work with individuals, couples, and families around a variety of issues. Whether your priority is to facilitate concrete changes, or to simply feel seen and understood, therapy with me will be centered around you and your unique needs and preferences.

Being a human is not easy! Whether you're feeling stuck, anxious, depressed, uncertain, struggling, unfulfilled, lost, or broken, I am here to support you on your unique journey. The therapy relationship is a place where you are accepted exactly as you are, so together we can find ways to nurture your inner sources of healing and growth. My goal is to support your ability to increase self-awareness and compassion in order to shift your habitual ways of thinking, feeling, behaving, and relating, so we can discover the tools and insights to help you live a life that feels meaningful to you. Inner and outer change are possible!

Does your happiness and self-worth yo-yo up and down depending on the current circumstances of your life? When something which you have no control over goes wrong, do you tend to blame yourself even when you know, logically, that it isn't your fault? The pain of low self-esteem and perfectionism can be hard to live with and sometimes hard to escape from. I love to work with people to improve their feelings of self-worth and lessen the pull of perfectionism.

Life is demanding. Sometimes it helps to have a place where you can slow down and think, feel, and talk at your own pace. If you’re feeling stuck or dealing with stress, therapy can help. We can explore whatever feels meaningful to you.

I believe all psychological symptoms serve a function, such as regulating emotions, avoiding distress, or maintaining interpersonal connections. In therapy, we will identify the functions of your symptoms and find healthier ways for you to meet your needs. This often involves exploring the interpersonal contexts in which your symptoms developed and are maintained. In this way, we will identify what's getting you stuck and make way for you to have new emotional and interpersonal experiences. My therapeutic style is collaborative, warm, curious, and empathic.

If you are a teen or adult who has experienced trauma, grief, life transitions, self-esteem concerns, depression or anxiety, I offer a safe supportive space. I provide an environment for clients to express and understand themselves using a client-centered approach, along with expressive arts, CBT and solution-focused therapy to help clients reach their goals. My approach is non-judgemental, creative, and empowering. I'm passionate about providing therapeutic support for members of the LBGTQIA+ community. Together we can help you set boundaries, highlight on your strengths and build your supports.

I use the Family Systems theory approach while identifying family of origin roles and patterns. Using a cognitive behavioral approach in helping clients identify thinking patterns that impact self-esteem and the choices one makes, I can guide you to new thought patterns that will raise the quality level of your life in many ways. Mood disorder therapy, including Bipolar Disorder and Major Depression, is a vital instrument for those affected. Medication assessment and management referral resources are available to compliment psychotherapy. Think in new ways, feel new emotions, live with a new view of you and your world.

I want to get to know you and your individual experience, and let that guide and inform our work together. I offer an authentic and collaborative therapeutic relationship, promoting deep exploration of difficult experiences and feelings as an important part of healing. Therapy is a place to openly explore what's been troubling you and engage in meaningful conversation towards resolution, renewal and a more holistic sense of self.

If you are like many of my clients, you might want to rekindle lost feelings or deepen the connection you already have with your partner or other loved one. Maybe you weren't given a blueprint for a healthy relationship- you know what you DON'T want, but don't exactly know how to manifest what you DO want. You might be a "helper", have a hard time saying "no", and find yourself feeling used up and burned out. You might be looking for healing, balance, and a better understanding of who you are after a big loss or other major life change. You might be queer, or questioning your sexuality, and want support in exploring your identity.

Are you ready to overcome the belief that something is wrong with you? Do you struggle with: low self-esteem, dis-empowerment, creating healthy relationships, setting boundaries, self-compassion, or self-care? These issues are common in our society today- there is a collective belief that somehow, no matter what we do, we are intrinsically flawed or broken. We have traded the sacred truth of our own experience for self-aggression, self-judgment, and self-loathing, and we feel miserable.
