Do you feel out of control, overwhelmed, disconnected, alone, or all of the above? Do your challenges often also leave you feeling resentful, and sometimes nearly hopeless? “Something has to change, but I don’t know what…or how…” You want to get things “back on track” or “back to normal”, to free connected again. You want less conflict and more productive conversations. You want to feel more energy and increased performance at home, work, with your kids and, overall, life in general.

My goal as a therapist is to help my clients enact meaningful change to improve the quality of their lives. I use a variety of modalities customized to your concerns and presenting problems so that therapy is not only effective but efficient as well. I believe it is ultimately my job to make myself obsolete and I am always happy when my clients feel they have integrated enough of therapy that they no longer "need" it.

Hi, I'm Michael Heckendorn, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado and a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC). With over 10 years of experience in mental health, I’ve worked with teens and young adults in various settings, including schools, universities, and private practice. I understand how challenging adolescence can be, from managing anxiety and depression to navigating important life changes like school transitions, social pressures, or sports performance. My goal is to support your teen by offering guidance and tools to help them thrive during these pivotal years, walking with them every step of the way.

Hi! Congratulations on taking this first step towards healing which I know can feel overwhelming. Trauma and stress can leave us feeling disconnected from ourselves and the world around us. I aim to provide a brave, empowering, and validating space to process present concerns and to reconnect with oneself, others, and feelings that you may have been told you cannot or should not feel. Our work together may include processing the ongoing stress of a chronic medical condition, coping with anxiety, recovering from past and/or current trauma, or learning to cope with the loss of a loved one.

Thanks for visiting my page. I have discovered a common obstacle among clients is how they are highly self-critical with themselves and subsequently experience distress in their world. This process manifests into or intensifies symptoms (i.e. depression, anxiety, trauma, low self-worth, and/or relationship issues, etc). Using a relational approach, I work to help clients build self-awareness, add language to their past experiences that impact their present, and build skills to cope. My intention is to help you experience long-term well-being where we not only treat the symptoms, but also explore the root of your concerns.

Do you ever feel like your emotions are imbalanced, and you can't put your finger on why or how to manage them? Sometimes, when our feelings are unpredictable, it can lead to added stress, panic attacks, and personal reactions that may catch us off guard. Trauma, anxiety, and significant life changes, like a move or new job, can affect the way we respond in sensitive circumstances. You may want to discover the why, or you may just want to figure out a solution to regulate the turbulence and navigate the uncertainty.

I provide psychotherapy using an integrative approach based around the Internal Family Systems model. I try to offer affordable yet expert treatment options for a variety of mental health, relationship and personal/spiritual growth issues. Whether you struggle with simple to complex trauma, anxiety, depression or substance use issues, I am confident that I can provide you the individualized, compassionate care that you need. I also work with Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, operate from a spirituality-based framework, and have a history of helping those people who have had difficult-to-treat or treatment-resistant issues.

Hello! As a licensed professional counselor, we’ll work together to find an inner sense of balance in your life. Sometimes, that looks like practicing mindfulness or utilizing somatic tools to manage challenging internal states–anxiety, depression, grief or sadness. Other times, that may look like exploring the intricacies of a difficult situation or relationship. Ultimately, the goal is to come back to a sense of joy.

Are you feeling unfulfilled, stuck, or lost on your life journey? Despite your achievements, do you still feel like something is missing? Are past traumas or unhealthy relationships holding you back? Know that you are not alone, and there is hope. As a woman and a therapist, I understand. I am passionate about helping you heal from past wounds, build strong connections, and find true fulfillment. Let's work together to unlock your full potential and create a life that aligns with your authentic self. You deserve to experience joy, peace, and fulfillment in your life. Let's take the first step together.

Is your child verbally and physically aggressive that it is impossible to go out to even a store or you dread their teachers reporting their "behaviors" at school? Are you worried that your child is too shy to engage in positive friendship and activities? Parenting can be very challenging at times, and I am here to listen, understand, and create treatment plan that are unique and meaningful for your child and your family. I believe (& witnessed!) children thrive despite trauma and life challenges with consistent supportive caregiving!!!

I combine my experience of working with individuals and families with my knowledge and passion for different evidence-based practices to help my clients achieve their goals. I believe that therapy works best when we're open to being challenged and held accountable towards breaking patterns that no longer serve us. All seriousness aside, I do truly enjoy getting to know my clients as people first and can guarantee a good laugh or two! Clients of mine have said that I am personable, easy to talk to and will provide a warm, supportive environment to foster growth.

Professionals and Millennials often feel deeply the stresses of work, family struggles, and relationship or dating challenges. Any of these can have you overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, hurtful people, low self-esteem, comparing to others, or not feeling "good enough." You take care of everyone yet don't get your own needs met. You seek a partner or to improve your relationship, but your past gets in the way. A parent (still!)makes family harmony difficult. I've worked alongside people in their 30s and 20s at universities and nonprofits on three continents. And I can help you live your whole authentic self with less stress.

Are you feeling stressed, worried, or down? I work with people who feel stuck, weighed down, or emotionally on edge. Often, these feelings are related to traumatic or upsetting life events. These experiences can be big or small, have happened recently or many years ago. Often, it feels like the mind is constantly running, making sleep difficult and emotions either overwhelming or numb. I help people find relief through understanding and reprocessing. We will collaborate to uncover your unique experience and development in a society structured by forces which perpetuate racism, sexism, and heteronormativity.

Are you feeling stuck? Wanting to have more authentic relationships or strengthen your current relationship? Desiring a more loving and compassionate relationship with yourself? Needing to process past trauma or difficult experiences? Struggling with anxiety and depression? I can help. Life is hard and we can often find ourselves just going through the motions and maintaining the status quo. I invite you to reimagine something different.

Trauma, abuse, & grief can greatly impact how we function on a day to day basis. Everyone's experiences are unique & individual. There may be times where you cannot explain why this or that happened and that can feel both confusing and frustrating. Has something like this ever happened to you before? Through counseling, we can explore different modalities & evidenced based research to locate the roots of this confusion and frustration.

There is a narrow margin between meeting the demands of our daily lives and becoming overwhelmed. As our lives require more and more of us, our resources of time, patience, and compassion can dwindle. If you are reading this because you are seeking help with rediscovering the person you want to be, I see you. I believe we are all doing our best. I also believe most of us come to a point in our lives when we realize the strategies we have learned aren't yielding the results in our lives we intended. My goal is for each person who leaves my office to understand themselves a little bit better and be a more authentic version of themself

Are you struggling in your relationships? Are you seeking to feel accepted and like you belong? Relationships can feel stressful at times and they often highlight what we need from others. We may not always recognize what we need or know how to communicate it directly, but we are always striving to feel connected with others. When we do not feel heard or understood by someone we care about we often act out in anger or frustration to increase the chances of someone paying attention, and we can often feel guilt or regret for what we have said or done to the people we love. If you feel lonely, anxious, or depressed, you are not alone.

I am passionate about serving young adult and adult individuals in need of emotional and mental health support. During our first session I will get to know your history, current areas causing distress, some of your thought and behavioral patterns, and a general idea of how you engage in life and your relationships. From there, we will work together to address your current needs by processing and modifying thoughts and behaviors. As you find more stability and satisfaction in everyday life, we will work to gain deeper insights, process and release traumas and buried maladaptive concepts, and create long lasting change.

I can help you with struggles like depression, anxiety, trauma, addictions, career counseling, and veterans issues (as one of them). Do you need help leaving a bad situation but you are feeling stuck? Are you struggling to adjust to leaving a bad situation and need some help connecting with your new life? Have you been feeling overwhelmed and you haven't been able to cope with life? Do you need someone to walk through hell with you and make sure you don't get distracted from the path out of rock bottom depression?
