Therapists in Loveland, CO

Welcome to my website. My name is Julia Landis and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults in many settings and I have successfully treated a wide range of problems and concerns that arise in the field of mental health. I have worked as a therapist for more than twenty-five years and have provided individual, family, and couples counseling. I have worked with children and adolescents and their divorced parents experiencing difficulty due to parental loss and divorce. Early in my career I helped young adults change self-destructive behaviors including , substance abuse, and eating disorders.

In my counseling sessions I strive to work as a partner with you. Creatively challenging your issues in a relaxed setting with an empowerment focus.I work especially well with anxiety disorders,such as OCD,panic disorder and PTSD, depression,Addictions,self esteem and family issues. I am open to working collaberatively as a partner with you with most any issue. I also work with children and couples. EMDR is a big focus of my work.

Welcome to my counseling practice. In my 25 years of working with people, I have seen incredible results and miracles when people worked in therapy using my counseling techniques. Humor is important in dealing with the stress, grief, depression and anxiety that so many of my clients experience. I insist that we enjoy our sessions, even though we are dealing with very serious matters. My specialties include 12 steps, codependency, relationship counseling,addictions, anxiety, depression and grief. I have learned many techniques including EMDR and Cognitive Behavioral therapy. I look forward to meeting you.

For 20+ years, I have enjoyed working with a diverse population of all ages from a variety of backgrounds. My clients have shaped how I practice. I work from a cognitive behavioral, solution-focused, trauma-informed foundation. I help clients develop and integrate new patterns into their lives that can bring them out of crisis, enhance their lives, and help them transition into their 'new normal'. I encourage clients to focus on what they can control, to activate in positive ways, and to problem solve. I'm chronically optimistic, and like to integrate humor and fun into sessions.

In my psychotherapy sessions, I like to include Biofeedback monitoring of heart rate and breathing chemistry to give me useful information in treatment planning and to help empower clients in greater self-regulation/self-control. I provide many skills for clients to practice. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral techniques along with psychophysiological (biofeedback), transpersonal, and Somatic Experiencing stress and trauma release approaches. I also work with optimizing performance in any area whether sports, music, speaking, acting, or reducing anxiety. My motto is OPT for the BEST which is my acronym for Optimal Performance Training for the Body, Emotions, Spirit, and Thoughts.

The issues which I enjoy working with the most are those related to relationships and family dynamics. One of the areas of most interest to me is working with individuals who are coming out of a relationship with a partner who had narcissistic personality traits. I became licensed as a marriage and family therapist in 1998 and have worked as a family therapist in substance abuse treatment programs, residential treatment programs for children and adolescents, and residential treatment programs for women. I also work with many individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and trauma.

I view counseling as a dynamic process between a client and therapist. My theoretical orientation is dependent upon what would be most appropriate for the client. I view each client as unique and I use techniques that are designed to meet that client's specific needs. I listen carefully to my clients so that I can empower, confront when appropriate, teach, encourage, and guide them so they can grow emotionally, spiritually, psychologically and socially. I respect the clients I work with. I want people to participate in a healing process without fear that they will be judged or coerced.

I am a licensed professional counselor, AASECT certified sex therapist & supervisor, specializing in individual and couples counseling. I am former President and Co-founder of the Denver Sexual Medicine Alliance. Although I work with a variety of issues, my primary emphasis is on relationship enhancement and sexual health. I work with both men and women. Currently, my schedule is very full. If you can be flexible with days of the week and time of day, I will work to find a spot for you. Give me a call or text: 720.234.9058, or email me at: mwine@btid.com, and we'll see when we can get you started.

I have worked in a variety of settings during my 20 years in the field of mental health. These include medical and psychiatric hospitals, substance abuse treatment facilities, college counseling centers and, for the past twelve years, my private practice. This breadth of experience is a great asset and allows me to feel comfortable working with almost any client issues, but I still find that a grounded common sense is my best tool as a therapist. I also feel that I am able to express my perceptions in a manner that clients are able to hear, understand and take into consideration.

Are you overwhelmed with relationships (ambivalence, low sexual desire...) and life (stress, grief, anxiety, depression, ADHD/ADD/executive functions, chronic health issues...)? Can you imagine how nice it would be to no longer feel so preoccupied? What would you do with that extra energy and time? I can help you figure out how to improve these areas in your life.

I have over 40 years of experience working with a wide variety of clients, a wide range of issues and ages ranging from adolescence to the elderly. I have worked in multiple Mental Health and Substance Abuse treatment settings both inpatient and outpatient. I have run various types of Mental Health Programs, EAP services, and co-owned several group practices. In particular, I work with aduts, couples, families, and adolescents experiencing problems including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, job/work/career concerns, and school performance issues. I also utilize many strategies /tools from the John Gottman method.

As a therapist I seek to assist people in discovering the patterns in their life that are problematic, and work with each person in the process of gaining freedom from these obstacles. I believe each person has a purpose for their life, and as they gain greater freedom, they step into more joy, fullness and satisfaction. These patterns and obstacles are often difficult for a person to recognize, and even more problematic to overcome without help. With over 15 years experience, I have the tools and experience to assist you in stepping into a better and more satisfying life.
