Relational Therapists in 80218

I am a dedicated Couples Therapist and Individual Therapist who works by mixing both psychodynamic/relational and somatic practices. I specialize in supporting couples who struggle with communication, and infidelity, and those who have "lost the spark". My Individual work focuses on anxiety, relationship issues, and stress management. I work well with people who struggle to manage conflict and feel insecure in expressing their wants/needs/thoughts/feelings. I am direct, and kind, and I provide both practical tools and deeper insights.

I specialize in working with couples and individuals facing relationship transitions (divorce, coparenting, platonic partnership consideration, etc.), sexual or relational desire and orientation differences (including kink, non-monogamy, and sexual orientation, gender transitions, and more), sexual and religious trauma (for ex., "exvangelicals" and queer folks with oppression trauma), intimate partner violence trauma, healing from a breach of trust, coming out and gender exploration/transition (one or both partners), and more. I frequently work with LGBTQIA/queer couples and the parents of LGBTQIA+ youth. I do work with youth 14+.

Queer Asterisk is a queer and trans-led 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization in Colorado. We provide outpatient individual, relational, family and group counseling for children, adolescents, adults, and relationships of all configurations. Our diverse team of compassionate, affirming mental health providers and graduate-level clinical interns create safer therapeutic spaces for clients to heal and grow. We also offer gender awareness and responsiveness trainings for other organizations and healthcare providers, including hospitals, schools and treatment centers.

Choosing to embark on the therapeutic journey is often both frightening and exciting, and certainly is always brave. Being willing to ask for support, to be with the thoughts and feelings that are present, and to dive deep into the past may feel incredibly vulnerable; doing these things with a trusted and skilled therapist can transform the ways we feel about ourselves, our relationships, and our world. I work with sensitive and emotional people of all genders who are eager to work together to feel supported and better understand themselves. I find that this deep work ultimately facilitates more peace, ease, and fulfillment.

Are you noticing your relational cycles? Feeling unseen & unheard? As a systemic thinker I love working with couples and individuals. My mission is to build a genuine connection with you so together we can collaboratively create a safe space that is nurturing and warm in nature. I strive to cultivate vulnerability and empowerment in my therapeutic office by fostering an authentic relationship. I would describe my therapeutic care to be grounded in compassion, empathy and respect. Couples can expect to be met with compassion as I approach your desire to change while holding space to acknowledge where their relational wounds originate

I am a relationship therapist. Whether you are working on your relationship with yourself, your romantic partner or your friends and family, we will work to identify and gain insight into your patterns and work for you to connect authentically and deeply with those you love. My specialties include: new relationships and preventative couples therapy, secular pre-marital counseling, relationship decision-making, relational perfectionism and undoing longterm patterns.

There's a difference between wandering around in the past and purposefully connecting what we've been through to our current situations. If you are looking for someone to help connect what you've been through to what you are going through now, and to identify new ways to shape your future, then I am here to help. Whether we are discussing relationship patterns, past trauma, mood disturbances or otherwise, we can work together to identify what you expect from yourself and others, and how you respond to those expectations. We will figure out how and where new expectations and ways of meeting the world will reshape your life.

I approach therapy as a collaborative experience meeting people where they're at, non-judgmentally and forming genuine relationships that cultivate wholeness. We all experience transitions and life changes that challenge us. I help people understand these experiences so that they can live more authentic and effective lives. With the use of integrated skills and insight building therapies, we'll weave together self-awareness, acceptance and behavioral modification to work towards your goals and build the life you desire. I'm a real person that believes positive change takes work and intention.

Are you struggling with your relationships and sexuality? Looking for a specialist that can make talking about sex easier? I'm an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist and Relationship Specialist. We offer a holistic, gentle yet direct, and tailored approach that includes well-researched theories with a relational foundation. Issues can include communication, fear of sex, relationship conflicts, constant fighting, desire differences, sexual orientation, sexual dysfunction or dissatisfaction, polyamorous/open or kink relationships, "sex or porn addiction" or problematic sexual behaviors, infidelity, trauma or sexless marriages.

I am passionate about helping clients in their journey towards healing and restoration. My goal is to provide a safe and non-judgmental space for my clients to explore their life stories and have conversations they might not be able to have anywhere else. I enjoy helping my clients feel a renewed sense of hope through empathy and compassion.

I believe that we all have important stories to tell. Sharing those impactful stories while working through the emotions and self beliefs tied to them can bring clarity, ease, and a sense of understanding. In my practice, I vow to hold a space of warmth, empathy, and unconditional acceptance for my clients to allow their stories and vulnerabilities to be heard and nurtured. I enjoy working with individuals who want to build awareness of patterns that they feel stuck in; and together, we will explore avenues of change.

Therapy helps you access your inherent ability to heal and find sovereignty. We all have the innate capacity for cultivating joy, to love and be loved; but the ways we have learned to cope and relate to others in the past are not necessarily the ways to thrive now. Your physical and emotional experiences are messages that can help you understand your needs and values, providing the insight and motivation to change and grow. When we learn to respond to these messages with care and wisdom, we begin to serve our deeper purpose and selves.

All of us have acquired habits of mind, body, and thought as a means of seeking safety and connection throughout times of stress, chaos, or trauma in our lives. My intention is to help you shift any unwanted habits or patterns as we mutually explore alternative ways for you to manage your mind, regulate your nervous system, and attend to your body with self-love and acceptance. Therapy isn’t about ‘fixing’ oneself; rather, it is a journey from insight to integration, a reclamation of everything you have lost along the way, a practice of gentleness, and a return to wholeness.

I work with adults, specializing in treating a broad range of psychological issues, including depression, anxiety, relationship problems, anger and stress management, job and life-style changes, parenting issues, fertility and pregnancy issues, and grief. I also do psychological assessments as needed and offer IQ, memory, and personality testing when required or requested. I have been in practice for over 20 years and have extensive experience working with individuals to help them achieve fulfilling, healthy, and satisfying lives and relationships.

I know finding the right fit for a therapist can be a bit like shopping for a sofa: try a bunch before finding the one that makes you want to rest and stay a while. I’ll offer a few details that might make this process feel a little more directive. I am a licensed professional counselor and a marriage and family therapist candidate. My work is relational at its core, whether I am working with individuals, or larger units. Those who seem to get the most out of working with me are in touch with their internal emotional landscapes and interested in being active participants in their healing.

Thank you for taking a look at my profile. If you are suffering from emotional loneliness or anxiety, if you are dealing with guilt and shame issues, if you are having a hard time accepting yourself, if there are parts of you believing that there is something "wrong" with you, I would love to hear from you. If you are avoiding intimacy due to trust issues or for fear of getting hurt again, if you are having a difficult time calming down your nervous system and regulating your emotions, if you are seeking to learn more effective ways to work with life within and without, let's talk.

Wanting to know yourself more fully? When we enter therapy, we are choosing a process of looking deeper into the truth of our lives and the parts of our core selves. Although those prospects may sound frightening, good therapy is a gift that we give ourselves: a gift of understanding, cultivated compassion, and widening clarity. I believe therapy is a collaborative process that should incorporate curiosity, acceptance, and connection. My goal as a therapist is to help people authentically connect to their truer sense of selves in order to live more fulfilling lives and have more meaningful relationships.

I have a passion for working with adults in big or small life transitions and emerging adults staring their adult lives! I have a trauma focused practice. I work with those who seek treatment for life experiences such as: anxiety, depression, sexual, physical, or emotional abuse, social isolation, teen friendships/bullying/dating, teen parenting, teen pregnancy counseling and support, low energy, stress, panic attacks, a traumatic event or other stressors, self sufficiency development, divorce, low self esteem, ADD/ADHD, mood dysregulation, oppositional or angry behaviors, and relational and attachment issues.
