Self Esteem Therapists in 81211

As a graduate from an accredited university, I am trained in providing evidence-based therapy to individuals of all ages, faith backgrounds, and identities. My experience includes working with children and adolescents through both play and talk therapy, as well as supporting adults in navigating their unique challenges. Whether you’re seeking help for yourself or a loved one, I’m here to offer compassionate, personalized care tailored to your needs. Let’s work together to achieve meaningful growth and healing.

Trauma is often at the root of anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. It can dysregulate our nervous systems and keep us stuck in 'survival mode.' The same coping strategies that once protected us are now disrupting our relationships and everyday lives. The good news is that our minds and bodies want to heal. We just need to learn how to integrate ourselves and our experiences into a new, more mindful, and compassionate way so that the past is not always in the driver's seat. It is said “what you resist, persists”. I believe the practice of coming to know ourselves fully can be very powerful.

With nearly two decades of experience, I offer a supportive and empowering therapy style tailored to each client’s unique needs. Specializing in trauma, PTSD, family conflict, addiction, and mood disorders, I use evidence-based techniques like TF-CBT, DBT, and EMDR. I also address issues such as Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), depression, grief, self-esteem, self-harm, and suicidal ideation. My inclusive, multicultural approach supports clients from diverse backgrounds. I believe seeking help is a profound act of strength and resilience.

Navigating life’s challenges can be especially tough when you’re high-functioning and driven, yet still find yourself grappling with anxiety, perfectionism, self-doubt, or relationship issues. I specialize in working with ambitious individuals aged 25 to 65 who are striving for greater self-worth, better relationships, and a more fulfilling life. I understand that even successful people can struggle with underlying issues like depression, anxiety, communication difficulties, relationships, and healthy boundaries. My goal is to help you overcome these obstacles so that they no longer hold you back from achieving your full potential.

Whew! It's hard to be a human, isn't it? There are so many demands all around us, often complicated by hardships and things out of our control. I'm committed to providing you a safe environment where I will support you with compassion and understanding. You deserve an unbiased space to be heard, make changes, process the hard stuff and empower you to feel comfortable in your own skin. I am knowledgeable in trauma, mood disorders, life changes, woman's issues and behavioral concerns. I integrate holistic practices with skill building to treat the entire person, just as mental health care should be.

I am a bicultural licensed professional counselor, registered play therapist, perinatal, and infant mental health specialist, and certified IFS therapist working with individuals across the lifespan. I have found a deep love of holding space for individuals walking through the sacred seasons around grief and loss, healing from trauma, and the journey of parenting. I love to work with those who are longing for holistic healing and ready to engage body, mind, and spirit.

The journey of life is a complex and challenging one to navigate. We are not given a roadmap to help us find our way. And there are times when having someone journey alongside us, as we examine ourselves and aspects of our life, is of great benefit. I imagine that is what you are seeking and applaud you on taking this brave first step. My belief is that you are closer to navigating the complexity of YOU than you may think. It might be challenging to see in the moment due to challenges or symptoms you may be experiencing. You already possess everything you need to heal from the past and navigate the present.

As people, we are innately wired for healing and have a rich capacity to adapt to whatever life throws at us. While this is a beautiful gift, it can also get us stuck when we adapt to situations that are harmful to us. Things like early relationship wounds, trauma, and chronic stress can trap us in patterns that interrupt our connection with ourselves, with others, and with the world around us. If you're looking to get untangled, I would love to support you in re-connecting with your innate goodness and ability to heal.

Whether you’re seeking counseling for anxiety, trauma, identity concerns, or life transitions, I’m here to support you. I recognize that you are the expert of your own story, and I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental space where we can work together toward your healing. Life’s challenges can feel overwhelming, leaving you feeling isolated, lost, or unsure of who you are. My goal is to honor the complexity of your experiences and guide you in finding your path forward. I consider it a privilege to sit with you in this space, offering compassionate support as you navigate life’s ups and downs.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, confused, anxious, sad, alone, lost, irritable, emotionally "stuck" or just plain exhausted? Perhaps you have recent or past trauma and have painful memories that seem to have a hold on you, and prevent you from being able to be fully present in your life. Maybe you are struggling with developing or maintaining healthy relationships, or are feeling like your life is unraveling, unfulfilling or unbalanced, with little to no time to take care of yourself. If you are experiencing any of the above, or are seeking self-growth, self-understanding, healing, or positive change, please reach out to me today.

Hi! I'm Madison Braid. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Colorado. I specialize in treating a range of clinical presentations including anxiety, depression, mood instability, PTSD and other trauma-related disorders, stress, social issues, and family conflict. I love working with people across the lifespan and have significant experience treating children, teenagers, and young adults.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate, I believe in the power of hope, resilience, and the potential for complete healing. My approach is rooted in empathy and a deep understanding of your unique journey. I’m here to guide and support you as you recover, discover, and embrace the changes you seek. Life brings opportunities, challenges, and transitions, and it’s natural to wonder if you have the strength to navigate them. Together, we’ll build your skills, inner strength, and the courage to thrive!

I practice a body-based, relational psychotherapy and incorporate somatic interventions which can uncover and heal dissociated experiences that are often the seeds to adult mental and physical suffering. Together, we will navigate the journey of discovering your inner wisdom and removing barriers to living authentically.

There can be so much pressure to get everything right — parenting, marriage, work, health — and you may be left feeling depleted, overwhelmed, or guilty. These things impact how you see yourself and the people around you. They impact how you show up in your life. It doesn’t have to be this way. It may be time to cut through the noise and misinformation. With the right skills and support you can absolutely learn, heal, and become the person, partner, and parent you want to be.

Everyone deserves healing, connection, and the ability to thrive. In this challenging world, I seek to empower individuals to create a healthier way of being where supportive relationships counteract the adverse experiences of life. Using restorative and healing-centered approaches based on the ecological biopsychosocial models of practice, I work in collaboration with those I serve. I offer trauma-informed, regenerative, and liberatory-based practices that balance modern science and research with wisdom and creativity to support the health and well-being of individuals, families, and communities.

I believe that each person has a deep wisdom inside of them, and part of my job is to help you learn and remember how to trust yourself. Supporting people to cultivate both self-awareness and self-compassion are a central focus of mine. I also feel passionate about cultivating a safe and trusted connection with clients that provides the opportunity for healing and growth. Each of us has a unique journey and I help people to feel more at home in themselves, both in times of joy and hardship. Learning to support ourselves in times of pain and suffering takes practice, and we are not meant to do it alone.

I appreciate people who care and are engaged, but may need a little help. We are all intelligent, creative, funny and loving. Sometimes, all you need is help finding that path. I like people who are willing to be open and give it a try. This may look like an individual looking to face changes, or maybe a couple looking to learn how to communicate or find that lost spark. In other cases, this may involve business partners or family members learning how to trust one another. I like to work with people who are willing to do the work.

Your life just isn’t what you expected or going how you want right now—it seems out of your control. You’re doing so much and it’s still not enough—putting on that brave face every day to show up to the grind. You should be more accomplished and feel more fulfilled, but instead, you’re struggling to find your place in the world. It seems like other people don’t get it, and you find yourself in repeated conflict with the ones you care about most. You can imagine how it could be different sometimes, but your self-critic is working on overdrive to stir up doubt and worries about the future. And you’re tired of it... probably exhausted.
