Therapists in Arvada, CO

If advice from friends and family is not working, it might be time to seek input from a professional. Our team and I have the desire and expertise to help! We create a warm, non-judgmental space where we can identify what is creating stress for you or your family. If you are tired of struggling to enjoy your relationships or day to day life because of pain related to trauma or parenting, let's figure out how to change what you can control and how to cope with things beyond your control.

I am Licensed Professional Counselor with over 20 years of experience in the counseling field. I enjoy working with people from adolescence to adults, including those who are aging, and specialize in supporting people in relationship work, depression, anxiety, attachment wounds career challenges and emotion intelligence. I love working with people who are curious and ready to build insight in order to deepen their connections with others. I believe that we are meant to be in relationship with one another and when we learn how to be over authentic selfs we deepen our connections and relationships.

It isn't easy to begin therapy, to go to a person you don't know and trust that they will understand and can help. My approach is to provide a safe and accepting space; not to judge or presume I know what you need. Together we can try to understand and adjust what may be getting in the way of feeling happier, more confident, and achieving your goals. There may be patterns you've noticed that aren't working well for you; or intense feelings you don't understand; or act in ways that may be harmful to you or others. You may have negative thoughts or chatter in your brain you can't shut off.

Are you ready to break down that wall and finally connect to the world around you? To live without painful memories and emotional flashbacks? Trauma - especially complex trauma - affects everything: your humanity, your identity, your ability to thrive. My clients often experience a negative self-image, depression, severe emotional ups and downs, and a near-constant sense of dread. Worst of all, they feel like they don’t know themselves and can’t relate to other people. This is not surprising considering my clients usually have a history of childhood abuse and/or neglect exacerbated by boundary violations in adulthood.

I provide a safe environment for my clients to find and be the most authentic version of themselves throughout sessions. I view therapy as a catalyst in helping my clients move the needle towards finding their inner acceptance. I show up as both a human and therapist, and strive to have my clients feel seen, heard, and connected. I believe therapy is a space where you feel understood and have your reality/experiences validated in a safe, nonjudgmental and accepting way.

If you are feeling lost, having challenges in relationships, life situations, or you feel burdened by anxiety and depression, Jamie might be a good fit to help support your path in feeling better.

As humans, we innately desire to be connected to and understood by others. For some, connection feels terrifying, confusing, and unsafe. I can help you build and foster a life with fulfilling relationships, with others & with yourself. My goal is to help you access bravery & empowerment so that your whole, authentic self drives your actions instead of fear. Stop obsessing, people pleasing, & stewing in resentment. Heal the root of feeling misunderstood, unloveable, and out of place. Learn to engage in honest conversations rather than only speaking your truth when you're alone. Create powerful community and deep meaning in your life.

Currently accepting new clients for ketamine therapy and EMDR and now IN network with Kaiser! If you've done therapy before but you want access to your subconscious to deepen your self understanding, then I can be your guide. By using psychedelic therapy with ketamine or EMDR we use all sources of deep inner wisdom to undo the things that aren't working anymore and strengthen the things that are! Sometimes talking just isn't going to cut it, and our own language and societal norms can be self limiting factors. We can cut through that in a safe way together to help you flourish in your unique humanness.

Hi my name is Brandi! Creating a connection with someone who can hold the space and listen with empathy and compassion is the most important aspect when looking for a counselor. It is not easy to open up about areas of our lives that are painful. Showing up for counseling takes great strength and I admire my clients willingness to allow me to be part of their process. I offer my clients a safe non-judgmental space to discuss and process difficult subjects and themes that show up throughout life.

Relationships are hard work, and some days are much more overwhelming than others. When we don't feel like we are getting along with ourselves or with our loved ones, we sometimes choose to yell, scream, walk away, or freeze up. Sometimes we drink or take something else. I believe that our relationships are vital and that when we don't feel like they are going well, it can ruin our day or make us anxious. You deserve to feel comfortable with yourself and with your relationships, and exploring unhelpful patterns can start you on a different path.

You are not defined by the struggles that are keeping you stuck. Anxiety, depression, trauma, and other problems take ahold of our lives and prevent us from reaching our full potential. We experience feelings of hopelessness that we cannot seem to shake. The idea of “self love” can be difficult to even imagine when we have created negative stories about ourselves. Happiness feels far out of reach and the path to healing is unclear. Pain can lead us to isolate and accept the belief that we are alone and no one can help us.

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.

I work closely with individuals, couples and families whom are struggling with issues such as addiction, substance abuse and other compulsive behaviors, as well as those facing challenges related to their mental health including depression, anxiety and trauma.

Our time together will be in a safe and confidential space. You can openly express yourself without fear of being judged. I have dedicated my life's work to understanding how PTSD and trauma impact our lives, perceptions, emotions, thoughts, feelings, behaviors, stress, culture, self-worth, values, etc. Therapy is beneficial for your well-being, trauma recovery, and self-care. My purpose is to help you achieve your goals and needs. I will empower you to grow personally and emotionally. The key to healing is your desire to improve yourself and your life.

Are you suffering? I want you to know that you are not alone. We alI have painful experiences. They are part of the human condition. I believe it’s what we do with these difficulties that determines not only the extent of our suffering, but how we are able to transform our pain and loss into strength, power, and growth. The most impactful experience we can provide each other is to be fully present and listen to one another's stories with open hearts and minds. Through transformative relationships we find hope and effect change.

I practice on behalf of children/adolescents and their families through parent-empowerment strategies. I use cognitive (thought based), behavioral approaches to correct unwanted conduct and/or attitudes in children/adolescents. I have extensive clinical experience in treating oppositional and defiant youth in a community, juvenile justice and hospital setting. I have been trained in intervention strategies for eating disordered teens and adults, from within their family systems. I focus on the individual and relational strenghths already in place to promote change.

At this time I only have openings for ADHD or Autism Assessments. Are you struggling with how to identify and process strong emotions, managing current life stressors, or navigating relationships with others? Do you feel like you are stuck in life or need help recognizing and identifying old patterns in your life that are no longer serving you?
