Christian Therapists in Centennial, CO

Life is a series of adjustments, I like to think of myself not only as a counselor but also an adjustment specialist. I view my clients as extraordinary individuals seeking new ways of doing life differently. Together, we can utilize therapeutic tools to help you adjust to your new, different, or difficult challenges.

I'm Charlotte, a dedicated Licensed Professional Counselor (Oklahoma & Colorado) with a passion for helping individuals from all walks of life unlock their potential, find healing, and discover their inner strength. With a diverse clientele, a toolbox that includes art therapy, solution-focused, and strengths-based approaches, I'm here to guide you on your path to a happier, healthier life. I believe that every person's journey is unique, and it's my privilege to walk alongside you as we explore the depths of your experiences and emotions. I'm committed to creating a safe and inclusive space where you can truly be yourself.

I focus on helping children, adolescents, and adults move forward. Problems that can get in the way of moving forward include education and behavior problems, ADD, autism, depression, anxiety, and trauma. Clinical tools include intellectual and psychological assessment and treatment interventions using cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), person centered therapy, or emotion focused therapy, which can guide you through to the goals you have set. We'll set these goals early in the session so that we can focus on achieving these goals.

Your eyes snap open, heart pounding. You reach for your phone to check the time. 2am? Your thoughts race, “Oh gosh, I NEED to sleep. I’m so tired! I have to be on top of it for the customer presentation in the morning.” You remember your ever-growing to-do list. It’s so much. And you haven't responded to your mom's texts in a week. You have always been able to dig deeper, do more, do better. But this time, you think, “I’m going to fail." You try to beat back feelings of panic, but the tightness in your chest won’t let up. You are the one that everyone else relies on to keep it together, and sometimes it is SO. Dang. HEAVY.

I believe that we are each wired for connection, and through deep intimacy and secure relationships we can experience healing, change, and growth. I believe we thrive when we experience acceptance, freedom, and authenticity in the context of relationship with others. I am passionate about walking alongside individuals and families and seeing relationships and families restored, connections deepened, and personal growth take place.

Perhaps you are here in Colorado surrounded by beauty and a vibrant community that is always seeking the next best thing. It can be an intimidating process to find your purpose and make your mark especially when you’re not feeling like yourself. “I know where I want to be in life, but just can’t seem to get there... Will therapy even work for me?... I feel like a piece of the puzzle is missing, now what?... I’m running out of time to change... I don’t know who to trust.” Fear, Doubt, and Shame like to interfere with our pursuit of self-improvement, introducing thoughts like these to keep us isolated and uncertain.

These are very difficult times that we are currently in and the impact to mental health can be great. With life often feeling chaotic or lonely and the future seeming unsure, it is only natural to start feeling anxious or sad. Taking the step to reach out for help to address and work through such feelings, or any feelings you might currently be experiencing, is already a sign of great resiliency. My role, as a counselor, is to walk alongside my clients to help draw out and direct all that inherent strength and resourcefulness.

Are you feeling trapped by your anxiety or depression? Do you wonder why it has been a challenge for you to move forward from painful experiences? You may be wondering where to begin, if you will be able to heal, and overcome your obstacles. I believe you can. I started my journey to becoming a therapist as a young man, confronting my own trauma. After coming through that storm, I realized it was my calling to help others. I have helped client’s struggling with anxiety, depression, feelings of worthlessness, relational challenges, trauma and abuse.

It is hard to work, it is hard to parent, it is hard to keep up with cooking and cleaning and make time for your partner…and trying to do it all at the same time can be really overwhelming at times. It’s even harder if you’re depressed or anxious. Do you ever find yourself thinking, When is there time for me? I just need help! I can’t do all of this by myself. I am drowning in responsibility. I feel so alone. I help everyone else, who helps me?

My therapeutic approach includes Solution and Compassion focused, Cognitive Behavioral, and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapies with a Strengths-Based approach. It is my ambition and privilege to serve clients as they learn recognize false beliefs as to why bad things happen to them and develop more proactive ways to cope focusing on internal strengths and abilities. I also use Acceptance Commitment Therapy as a way to deal with negative thoughts, feelings, symptoms or circumstances and encourage mindfulness strategies to move on from negative experiences.

So many women struggle to know what they want in life and in relationships, and it causes anxiety and weighs them down. Trying to take care of your partner, friends, kids, parents, pets and have time for yourself at the end of the day feels impossible. You want everyone around you to be happy, and this holds you back from taking care of yourself and having the deepness of relationship you desire.

As a licensed professional counselor in Colorado, I can accompany you in your wellness walk in person or virtually. Life is full of transitions and often challenges us to adapt and change. I can help by creating a safe environment that promotes healing and growth through life changes. I do this by being attentive, supportive, challenging, and compassionate while embracing the losses and struggles that our lives bring. The short-term goal of therapy is symptom reduction, while the long-term goal is transformation.

I work from a strength and client-based perspective. In addition to working from a psychodynamic and psychoanalytic approach, I use Trauma-Focused CBT, Advanced EMDR, ACT and other cognitive and brain-based approaches ("Neuropsychotherapy") to help individuals move past difficult traumas into a more fulfilling life. I support clients in their own spiritual beliefs and values in working with their relationship, wellness and adjustment issues. I value clients who are willing to be genuine and work towards their own goals in their personal journey and relationships.

There are times in life when we are presented with circumstances that overwhelm us. If you are looking to work through a difficult transition or want to address an issue that has been weighing you down, I would love to assist you in coming up with solutions in order to live a more fulfilled life. Counseling can help you not only to work through the problem that brought you to therapy in the first place, but to learn valuable life skills that can make it easier to address challenges that come up for you in the future. I believe that everyone is capable of change, and I would love to support you throughout the process.

Life can be really tough sometimes. When we’re facing our hardest moments, it’s easy to feel stuck, confused, and unsure of how to move forward. Anxiety, depression, panic, or feeling “frozen” are all natural responses to the stress and trauma many of us go through. But you’re not alone! I’m here to help you find your way to self-compassion, healing, growth, and, ultimately, a thriving life. My approach is empathetic, collaborative, and trauma-informed. I truly believe you are the expert on your own life, and my goal is to empower you to decide what you need and want moving forward, helping you achieve inner balance and well-being.

Feeling stuck, helpless, or hopeless? I love to help people uncover and utilize their strengths to be able to tackle the emotional challenges they are facing. There is an absolute benefit of feeling heard and assessing what needs to be changed to get out of the discomfort one is experiencing. I have a solution-focused and holistic approach to the therapeutic process that incorporates physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects. My goal in working with clients is for them to feel understood and accepted while they become empowered to change and shift into a healthier approach to themselves and the world.

Taking a step in your journey towards healing is such a brave and courageous one! The thought of change is often very nerve wracking and overwhelming. I am honored to partner with you on this journey. Change and healing happens in relationship when we feel heard, cared about, and supported. I am passionate about creating a safe and comfortable space in which you can explore all areas of your life and tell your story. My clinical experience includes working in a variety of settings including community mental health and private practice with both individuals and families.
