Relationship Issues Therapists in Denver, CO

Do you wish you felt more fully alive? Do you want to feel more joy? Is real life harder than you expected? Are relationships more complicated than you wish they were? I think that hard times in life are like being stuck in a kiln... it is uncomfortable and miserable and we don't know when we'll get out. But when we do, we are stronger, waterproof, and our true colors are showing. Therapy can be a place to laugh, cry, learn and grow. It can be a place to share with someone what you are going through.

Everyone deserves a life that is healthy, happy and loving. And yet, creating a balanced life in the midst of stress and chaos can be challenging! Are you a new parent struggling to adjust to your new role and all of your new responsibilities? Are you in a relationship and could use some support navigating the complex terrain of communication, connection, and love? Or perhaps you or your child is dealing with anxiety, depression, or grief?

You're here, you made it! You're taking the first step to seeking help so let me tell you a little about me. Along the way I have specialized in working with those on the autism spectrum/ADHD spectrum, those coping with complex trauma, as well as families/couples/children. Although those are the populations I find myself most comfortable, please don't hesitate to reach out if you don't fall in those categories! I'm open to clients from all walks of life and work diligently to support those from marginalized communities such as LGBTQIA and Persons of Color. I'm so excited to meet you and can't wait to get to work!

Schedule now through my website in my bio! Hello and congratulations on beginning your journey to improving your mental health, wellbeing, and relationships! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who earned my Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health with an emphasis in Couples and Family Therapy. I am currently working towards my Ph.D. in Counselor Education and Supervision, where I enjoy the privilege of teaching and supervising Master’s students who are working towards becoming mental health counselors. I enjoy and have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families.

While I pride myself on finding ways to personalize treatment to each and every client who chooses to work with me, I especially like working with two types of people: Those new to therapy, and those who have been burned. For those of you who are new to therapy, I can lay out a buffet of options and we can try different approaches, from the very personal to the very clinical and everything in between. For those of you who have tried therapy and been turned off of it...well, let's just say that we may have some similar experiences, and I would love to be the one to prove to you that therapy is valuable when done correctly!

I absolutely love working as a therapist! Nothing gives me more satisfaction than assisting individuals to reach their full potential. I work with individuals to help each person resolve problems, to create more satisfying relationships with themselves, and to live a fulfilling and meaningful life. I specialize in trauma therapy, adoption, foster care, postpartum, anxiety and depression. I work collaboratively with each person to search for the best options when choosing what type of therapy treatment they feel is best for them.

Empower Yourself and Relationships! Evans Counseling is a group private practice focused on providing quality care in the Denver Community. We are dedicated to providing care to a multiculturally diverse population. We strive toward maintaining fresh techniques and ideas, using directive styles of therapy and focus on the clients desired successful outcome. Our goal is to make therapy accessible.

I specialize in helping individuals who are ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery and growth. My ideal clients are motivated to understand themselves deeply and break free from harmful patterns in their lives. They seek to heal past wounds, live authentically, and align their actions with their core values. Together, we work towards fostering personal empowerment and creating meaningful change.

COUPLES, FAMILY, CHILD and INDIVIDUAL THERAPY. True Happiness and Stability Stems from the Quality of our Significant Relationships! I work from a strength-based, solution-focused, and systemic or relational orientation, all are evidence-based approaches. I focus on people's strengths and possibilities while addressing their real life difficulties. I also practice child-centered play therapy and provide personality, relationship (couple) and career assessments. I believe in a holistic approach to the therapeutic process that incorporates biological, psychological, social, and spiritual dimensions empowering a person or family towards mastering life to its fullest. I look forward to consulting with you!

I believe that wellness begins with identifying and moving toward meaningful goals within the supportive context of a trusting therapeutic relationship. An area of passionate focus for me is my work with children and adults who have experienced a variety of traumas and losses. My clinical experience includes private practice, individual therapy with children and adolescents in public and private school settings, residential treatment with high-risk youth in the custody of the state, and community mental health center services with individuals, couples, families, and groups. I welcome clients' diverse perspectives and unique life contexts.

I'm passionate about walking alongside people who have a sense that, "Maybe, just maybe, it doesn't have to always be this way." Whether it's feeling stuck in the same relational dynamics, holding beliefs and ideas about yourself, others, and the world that no longer seem helpful, or wanting to figure out what it might look like to be a more healthy, whole, and honest person---many of us often have a desire for life to look different, but we might not be sure how to get there. I view therapy as a process that can help us discover more about where we've been, who we are becoming, and how we want to live.

Are you frustrated with your life and your relationships? Do your feelings sometimes overwhelm you? Anxiety and depression can ruin your days and keep you up nights. There is hope. You don't have to handle this alone. You can feel better. You can get your confidence back as we build up your self esteem. Sometimes the trouble is an event or situation outside of your control. Even then, therapy can help. You can get support and learn some new skills that help you make changes.

Attention is one of the most powerful gifts we can give. I embody this philosophy in my practice by striving to listen well, to understand you, to find the good that has been ignored or buried, and to name themes and beliefs that keep you stuck. I enjoy working with adults who are mired by anxiety, panic, depression, disordered eating, relationship difficulties, compulsions, addictions, or who are having difficulty adjusting to life circumstances. I am highly relational, meaning therapy with me feels like talking to an interested and compassionate friend.

Are you someone who wants to explore your own depths, to better understand why you act the way you do, to break old patterns & work towards being your best self? Do you have concerns about managing anxiety, your career, your relationships, or life transitions that can feel overwhelming? If you are someone who would like to learn tools you can use to promote your overall wellness, build your sense of self-esteem, and grow, therapy is a great way to accomplish all this and more. By reading this & looking for someone to talk to, you have taken the first step in your own self-growth and that is something you should be proud of yourself.

The human experience can be a complicated journey of great joys and challenges. It is not uncommon for us to feel lost or unsettled during highs and lows. My great passion is to bring a healing perspective to your unique experience. For more than a decade, I have worked with an array of psychological issues. Some of my experience surrounds issues with relationships, work-life balance, anxiety, depression and alcohol/drugs. My clients are from all walks of life, seeking healthy perceptions of themselves or support to work through tough situations.

If you are an adult seeking help with medication and/or psychotherapy, or a couple experiencing difficulties in your relationship, I can help. I work with anxiety and depression, including postpartum, feelings of self-doubt, conflict and chronic anger, impacts of trauma, and work life balance. We will work together to figure out what might most help you in your current set-back or struggles. In addition to psychodynamic therapy, I might suggest EMDR for trauma, difficult memories, or goals around alcohol use. Please reach out to explore what we can do together leveraging psychotherapy and/or medication to best help you feel better.

Therapy should captivate and transform you. When you are struggling to move past conflicts or getting stuck in all-too-familiar patterns, there should be something so direct, personal, and real about what you discover and practice in therapy that it should dramatically change how you think, feel, and act with others. That's my specialty. Yet, even though therapy is serious work, there should be room for play: for trying things on, for practice, for being human. As a family therapist I care about the quality of your relationships. My approach? Connecting. Pragmatic. Thorough. Creative.

I am passionate about empowering individuals to align actions with values in order to pursue an authentically-guided life. The therapeutic relationship provides an ideal setting to practice communication, curiosity, acceptance, and accountability necessary to change what is not working, but to also find enjoyment in life. I have clinical experience treating a variety of presentations/dual diagnoses in all ranges of acuity. In regards to performance consulting, I have worked with all levels of athletes from a variety of performance realms, including dancers and musicians, as well as those in the business setting.

Trauma is inevitable, but it does not have to overshadow our entire lives. I work with folks who have experienced trauma of all kinds and are interested in leaving behind the habits, patterns, and feelings that no longer serve them. Whether your trauma was acute, such as accident or loss, or longstanding, such as abuse from parents or partners, my work is to help folks rediscover their inherent ability to feel safe, connected, and capable. My work is nestled in understanding of how our social, political, and economic conditions lead passing on trauma and distress.
