Therapists in Boulder, CO

Currently Accepting NEW Clients- Hello, my name is Zach DePledge. In the 12 years I have been working in mental health I have grown a passion in working with teenagers, young adults, and parents. Society places so much pressure on us these days to be perfect. What I have found is the comparison game we play in our minds destroys our self-esteem and can cause anxiety, depression, and many other mental health struggles. Parents are left wondering "am I parenting correctly?" Most of the times we don't talk about our struggles because we don't want to appear weak, in turn we are left struggling alone.

My goal in therapy is to guide others through their struggles, helping them gain insight and providing tools to resolve the challenges they face. It is always my goal to assist my clients toward the achievement of their fullest potential. I have a passion for working with women as they transition through life events; pregnancy, marriage, divorce, career, empty nest.

Ideal clients are those impacted by their symptoms with an awareness of needing to evolve to overcome their daily struggle. As we start our journey at the bottom of the mountain we must understand there are several paths to the top. All of these paths have the potential to lead you to the top to find the view you've been looking for. You're going to choose your path, as with many things in life. I will walk alongside you as we ascend the mountain, meeting daily goals on the way. As we move forward, we'll process the roots, rocks, caves, canyons we traverse. Why do you keep tripping on them? Why are they holding you back?

"I am someone who genuinely cares about my clients and am involved in this work because I want to be there for you. I'd like to congratulate you already on taking the first step in therapy." Colin advocates a well-rounded lifestyle as a professional counselor and in his personal life, and believes that overcoming any life problem requires a lifestyle change. Colin has a wide range of mental health competencies, and uses empirically based - or scientifically proven - methods. Hours are set to most convenience his client's and only a limited number of clients are accepted at one time in order to commit to their progress.

I offer a dynamic approach to mental health care using holistic, body-mind integrated therapeutic techniques. I believe that often individuals need support to clear what's blocking our natural ability to navigate our lives from our own truth and that each of us have instinctive abilities to heal ourselves. I can partner with you to identify and activate your inner strengths and authentic self. I provide counseling in a safe environment and my clinical focus builds upon clients' existing strengths and aliveness. In office or video counseling available.

Not currently accepting new clients. I offer a telehealth platform for remote sessions, or in-person sessions at my home office. Is your child in need of support navigating life's challenges like building and sustaining friendships, balancing school and home responsibilities, engaging in learning, self-regulation, managing big emotions, conflict resolution, processing trauma, working through the grief process, or otherwise dealing with life's bumps, hills, and mountains? I think that I may be able to help, as a counselor candidate with an emphasis in play therapy. Please reach out for a free phone consultation to explore further.

I can best support anyone wanting to better themselves and live a life directed by their values. I will be on the ground floor with my clients supporting the structures that are needed to build life skills, create movement from stuckness and find value where they are feeling hopeless.

Are you or a family member feeling stuck? Together we can uncover new solutions. I'll work creatively and collaboratively with you to find pathways out of those difficult places, both within you and in your relationships. Perhaps you have a child or teen who's experiencing anxiety or fears, or you are experiencing sadness and stress personally or with a partner or family member. Together we'll find solutions as we tap into your inherent strengths and the potential strengths in your relationships.

Overcome ongoing challenges and discover your best self. The best therapy outcomes occur through a strong relationship with your therapist. Schedule a no-cost consultation and get a sense for how we fit. Please visit my practice website to learn more. Although I do not take insurance, I do provide a superbill that you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement, which is what many clients choose to do.

I believe we are here to discover, learn, and experience as much as possible in this short journey. As a seasoned and experienced Counselor, I take a holistic (comprehensive) approach in psychotherapy focusing on all parts of a person which includes the emotional, social, biological, environmental, spiritual/philosophical (meaning and purpose), and psychological components that make us whole. And if you are in need of psychiatric medications, I work with a Psychiatrist in the area and you will have access to this service.

In addition to working with adults struggling with early childhood neglect and abuse, I have experience in working with individuals experiencing life transitions and loss, dual diagnosis, self-harming behaviors and first responder experiences. I am trained in Trauma Recovery and Empowerment group work for female survivors. For individual work, I use a combination of techniques from EMDR Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and other therapies as needed to facilitate movement through the challenges that individuals face to move into a space of empowerment and personal freedom.

Sandstone Care provides substance use, addiction, and mental health treatment for young adults (ages 18 to 30) and adolescents (ages 13 to 18) including Residential Treatment, Day Treatment (PHP), Intensive Outpatient (IOP), and General Outpatient (OP) programming.

I am on maternity leave from January 1st - April 30th, 2024 and will not be accepting new clients until May 2024.

Everyone deserves the best life has to offer. I strive to give my clients the information, insights and tools they need to make the most of their lives. My approach is very eclectic, but draws heavily upon my own life experiences, cognitive behavioral and existential theories.

Everyone experiences difficulties in life and there is no time like the present to find help supporting the emotional weight you may be feeling. Whether it is the pandemic, the economy, or your personal experiences, external situations can have a serious impact on your internal self. By working as a team, my goal is to help you explore the reasons why you have these negative emotions and begin the process of lessening the impact they are having on your life. Emotional Regulation has been made harder through the current cultural climate and my hope is that together we can make your ability to feel at peace with yourself a reality.

I have been providing support to children, adults and families during times of stress, transition and crisis for over 30 years. Areas of specialization include trauma resolution, life transitions and grief. My approach is both compassionate and practical. Supporting healthy attachment in relationship and supporting the inner changes that occur when one steps onto a spiritual path are of particular interest as well. Moving from worn out habits driving behavior to genuine expression and presence.

I help families of teens go from worry and anxiety to renewed connection and happiness. We all want our kids to be happy, and it’s hard to watch them struggle. Our teens face the same adolescent challenges we did (intense emotions & feeling "different," without having the long-range view adulthood brings)--but they also navigate the additional stress of violence (school shootings), grief (rising suicide rates), exposure (social media) and non-stop accessibility (smartphones + internet). While our teens wrestle with anxiety and feel alone, parents worry they could lose their kid to depression, mental health issues, or even suicide.

I have been providing individual therapy to children, adolescents, collage age young adults and parents throughout the Boulder & Denver area's since 1995. My counseling style and therapeutic approach are unique and innovative. By using a less traditional style of therapy, I have been able to connect with and help people and families that have not found conventional therapy productive or beneficial or have found traditional therapy to have not met their needs. I use a strength-based, solution-focused, cognitive-behavioral therapy approach which is designed to treat issues that arise in our individual lives, personal relationships and families.

If you've found your way to my page, you're likely looking for a shift in your life, relief, change, something more. I too have been in that place, not satisfied and pained. These times were the greatest access points I've ever had for a change into something better, beyond what I've known. I've been able to capitalize on these moments with help from others and have benefitted greatly. I want to support you in the same way. I want to partner with you during this tender, potent, and valuable time.
