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.

I am working towards my clinical licensure in Colorado as a resident clinician with Centus Counseling. I am passionate about serving traditionally underserved individuals and communities of all ages, particularly within the LGBTQ+ community. I work with a trauma-informed lens that is person-centered, strengths-based, and solution-focused. I offer a nonjudgmental, safe space for collaboration together to help individuals find their authentic self. I recognize that the process towards self-empowerment is not easy, and that small steps can lead to large changes that help one move from survival mode to thriving.

“Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself” (Rumi). As a trauma survivor who went on a personal healing journey, I learned how to help others simultaneously. Healing was hard work, but finding the right therapist was a huge piece of the puzzle. Traditional therapy fails so many trauma survivors. I aim to go beyond talk therapy to find the right modality for each unique client.

Has your life not been as fulfilling lately or have you been struggling with making healthy changes? I am on your team to support and guide you so that you can finally be living the life you have always wanted. I value relationships and meeting individuals where they are. My focus is on using your strengths and working together to identify healthy coping mechanisms and creating a strong support system in order to help you feel empowered to live your best life. I am passionate about working with adolescents and young adults. My approach to therapy is to tailor and personalize treatment depending on your own goals and needs.

Great communication starts with a great connection. I have been working with individuals and couples since 2015, and I can help you move through and heal the hurt so you can get back to having a life of love and intimacy. It's really easy to fall into the trap of thinking that we are supposed to go it alone and having other people walking alongside us can feel vulnerable. Life is full of challenges; everything from parenting, to work stress, to finding the balance between work, life, and play. Things don't always need to be take overly seriously, and sometimes the best treatment is finding something to laugh about.

Making changes is hard. This is true whether you are exhausted and know something needs to change, are considering taking a stand against depression or anxiety, or are navigating through a major life transition: the birth of a child, the loss of a loved one, the ending or beginning of a relationship, starting or changing a career. You don't need to do it alone. Feel like yourself again; our counselors can help.

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.

I am a licensed psychologist providing individual therapy to adults (18+). I have ample experience working with relationship concerns, anxiety, body image/eating disorders, gender & sexuality, women's issues, and life transitions. I utilize a trauma-informed and strengths-focused framework and show up as a therapist with cultural humility, compassion, curiosity, and humor. As a feminist therapist, I believe therapy is a collaborative process and I value receiving feedback from you and ensuring your voice is heard, respected, and empowered in our relationship.

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.

Has talk therapy not been enough? Do you feel the pain, anxiety, and hurt are stuck in the body? You are not alone. Trauma & loss can take all different forms and sit in our body & mind in a variety of uncomfortable ways. In counseling survivors of sex trafficking, I have encountered difficult stories & complex trauma. After working overseas, I also can understand how hard transitions, feeling out of place & grief are. I take a trauma-informed & holistic approach. This means incorporating the emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual aspects of you while understanding the impact of the past.

Are you a sensitive soul who feels exhausted by the demands of life, and stuck in a cycle of habits that leave you feeling numb and disconnected? *Take a breath.* You’ve come to the right place for relief! We are all living through stressful and uncertain times, and it makes perfect sense if you haven’t been feeling yourself lately. And yet you deserve to feel healthy, happy and whole! Together we can work to explore the challenges you’re facing, build up your resilience to move through them with greater ease, and incorporate sustainable habits that support you in feeling more joyful, alive and connected to your soul's purpose.

Life can be challenging and inevitably ends up throwing us curve balls we don't expect or see coming. Because of life's intricacies, sometimes we need a space to come and sort them all out. It is my goal to provide that warm and open space for you. The space to come talk about and process the difficulties you are experiencing and feel heard in doing so. I would love to work alongside of you and collaborate in finding your strengths, learning new coping skills, and moving towards healing and a more fulfilled life.

I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with over 26 years of experience. I provide couples, Individual, and Family Therapy. My modalities include EMDR, CBT, DBT, Hakomi, and PACT Level 3 for couples therapy. I am considered a Trauma expert and provide trauma-informed treatments. Many of my clients struggle with PTSD, depression, anxiety, addictions, chronic pain, medical trauma and relationship issues. My approach is collaborative, preventative, educational and inclusive.

I work with deep-thinking, creative people, who are striving to be in their worlds in congruent and fulfilling ways. I love working with people who are approaching life transitions: graduations, the birth of a child, the completion of a long running project, or a career change. College students, new dads, and passionate nerds are all good fits for my style.

I specialize in individual therapy for adults and couples counseling. Many of my clients struggle with anxiety and/or depression, pressures to be "enough" or perfectionism, burnout and feeling overwhelmed by the demands of their different roles in life. Couples I work with often grapple with how to manage conflict and communication while being both partners and parents in their relationship. Today's culture dictates we have to be "all" to everyone in order to experience joy and happiness. Working with a therapist can help you find the balance you desire and make the changes you deserve.

Hello. I consider myself a rather pragmatic, reality-based therapist. I spent many years contracting with community mental health centers in the metro Denver area and have been well-recognized as a supportive clinician for those in need. Using a cognitive-behavioral approach, I will incorporate how you are impacted by the transitions in your life with your desire for growth. I enjoy using humor, music and interpersonal relationships in what I value as a parallel and experiential process. Call for a free telephone consultation and thank you for taking the time to review my page.

Get back to feeling good. I can help. I work with students, professionals, athletes, and others who expect a lot from themselves. Anxiety, depression, change, and loss, can all be profoundly lonely experiences. Together, we’ll identify what needs to shift so that you can get back to enjoying your life and functioning at your best.

Is change on your horizon, or have you recently walked through fire? Are you grieving and in need of a place to let it go or celebrate it? Let's go play outside!

My approach to therapy involves partnering with you to navigate past and present pain, develop a deeper understanding of your story and experiences, and bring awareness to automatic patterns to help you make lasting changes in your life. Equally important is an exploration of what is meaningful to you and helps you feel connected to yourself and the present moment. By developing your understanding of your internal world and relationship with yourself, you are able to access agency and transform how you relate to yourself and others.
