Therapists in Arapahoe County, CO

One of the most universal human experiences is the desire to feel understood and valued. When we don’t feel understood, we become disconnected from our friends, family, and even ourselves. While suffering is part of the human condition, suffering in silence often leads to difficulties with our loved ones, and personal growth, complicated relationships with food, alcohol/drugs, and our own bodies. My hope in our work together is that your healing empowers you to create a life that is authentically aligned with your values.

It is my belief that In order to feel happy and fulfilled, every person should excel in the following areas: be in good health, feel loved/accepted in personal relationships (partners, children, family), be successful in what he/she does (education, job, hobbies), and feel needed socially (belong to a group, be part of the community).

The process of therapy can be a powerful, life-changing experience. As we grow through gaining self-awareness, many of us seek balance from the head to the heart. We are all capable of conscious growth and seek support through connection. Whether your experience has been emotional, spiritual or physical pain, surviving trauma, broken relationships or addiction, there is healing to be discovered from our challenging experiences. Exploration of the self may inspire, transform, generate, and offer insight toward a conscious and whole-hearted life.

My name is Michael Schweiger and I started ABL Counseling with the mission of helping others truly achieve freedom, healing, and experience abundant living. Throughout our journey negative beliefs and emotions impact how we view of ourselves, others and everyday life. My years of expertise in a variety of environments allows me to understand the many pieces that make up a person's story and help you discover how your past experiences impact you today.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over 15 years of experience. My patients tell me that I am warm, supportive, non-judgmental, and make them feel heard and understood. My work combines cutting-edge science with an empathetic approach that is customized to each individual. I provide evidence-based therapy so that my patients receive the treatment that is scientifically proven as the most effective option for their specific concern(s). I believe that treatment should be collaborative, and that patients should play an active role in their treatment decisions, so I involve my patients in their treatment, every step of the way.

Potential clients seeking therapy for marital and family issues have unique needs that require a compassionate and understanding approach. As a veteran, male, and dad therapist, I bring a unique perspective to the therapeutic process that can resonate with clients from various backgrounds. I understand the challenges and dynamics that military families face, and I am familiar with the intricacies of parenthood and the different roles individuals play within a family unit. This allows me to create a safe and inclusive space where clients can openly discuss their concerns and work towards resolving conflicts.

In treating children, adolescents, families and adults for thirty years, my approach has evolved to become increasingly more relaxed, humorous, active, and-at its core-respectful. It is not based on giving advice or otherwise suggesting that I know what is best for you. On the contrary, my therapy (and personal) “voice” has grown to become increasingly grounded in humility and profound empathy, sitting comfortably not being certain, keeping my mind open, listening intensely, putting aside my personal opinions and reference points-all in order for me to genuinely see you and support growth and even transformation.

In these uncertain times, we can be faced with a myriad of challenges.
