Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists in Northwest, Denver, CO

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.

Through support and encouragement, everyone can have the ability to create positive change and find a balance in their lives. A strength-based approach can allow for the opportunity to identify successes, reestablish healthy patterns and learn new ways to deal with everyday life. Together, we can create goals that you or your child hope to achieve.

The effect that physical trauma, from sudden injury to chronic pain and more, can have on our emotional wellbeing is profound. Often, these experiences result in identity loss, isolation, depression, anxiety, and beyond. Simultaneously, the impact that our emotional wellbeing can have on our physical healing is equally as profound. It is one that often feels defeating and keeps us stuck in an exhausting pain loop. Through deepening the mind-body connection and processing trauma, loss, change, and fear, I support individuals on their wellbeing journey.

I believe therapy is a collaborative experience where you are the expert of your own life. I believe you possess the innate capacity to heal from your past to cultivate the life and relationships you desire. I strive to create a safe and supportive space to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. I work to foster self-reflection and insight while providing you with tools that empower you to develop acceptance or create change. Together, we uncover the patterns and motivations shaping your life to facilitate growth. My approach is rooted in active listening and compassion as I gently challenge you to move toward your goals.

With a deep commitment to integrating mind-body connections in therapy, I strive to create a safe, nurturing and non-judgmental space for clients to navigate challenges, develop coping skills and cultivate resilience in the face of adversity. I guide clients in the exploration of their thoughts, emotions and physical experiences to foster a sense of balance. I use an integrative style utilizing different evidence-based techniques. With your guidance, I can help you create goals that you hope to achieve and create a plan to reach these goals.

Welcome! I'm Dr. Chelse Song (they/she), and I specialize in: LGBTQIA mental health (including transgender healthcare through all stages of transition), Intimate Partner Violence/relationship abuse; Trauma and PTSD; coping with chronic illness, disability, and chronic pain; Religious trauma & spiritual abuse; and concerns around neurodiversity (Autism, ADHD, LD, dyslexia). My "ideal" client wants to be heard, to have a therapist who "gets it" and doesn't pathologize them or force them into a box. Now offering online scheduling on my website: anewsong.clientsecure.me

With specialities in areas such as trauma, attachment, relationships, anxiety, women's mental health, and adolescents, I hold great value in creating a comforting space for each individual to be heard. If you are looking to create lasting change by learning and unlearning, being vulnerable, facing change, and giving yourself grace and love.. this is it. You're here. When you walk into our therapeutic space, my goal is for it to feel like a big, deep, releasing breath and to empower you to feel that you're already where you want to be. Once again, you're here.

I have immediate availability for new clients in Colorado and via telehealth in Florida! Is this stage of parenthood leaving you feeling more overwhelmed than you anticipated feeling or more overwhelmed than you have ever felt before? Perhaps you or a loved one are using alcohol or drugs to cope with life's stressors and overwhelming moments and you have become increasingly concerned about the amount you or your loved one is using. You are now seeing different areas of your life impacted by your mood or by your substance abuse and are hoping to find more healthy ways to cope with all of the ups and downs of life.

I have a deep understanding of how stress and trauma can affect even the most resilient people and I am committed to providing a safe space for individuals to process their experiences, heal, and grow. I believe that you are the expert on your own lived experience and I draw from a variety of therapeutic modalities and philosophies to complement your individual needs and preferences.

Hi! I'm glad you've landed on my page. I know how overwhelming it can be to find the right therapist, so let me tell you a little bit more about myself to see if we might be a good fit. My style as a therapist is laid back, collaborative, and conversational. My approach is to meet you wherever you are, figure out where you want to be, and work together to get there. I hope to provide a safe and welcoming space where you can dive deep, be challenged, heal and grow.

I offer a safe and inviting space to gain a deeper understanding of yourself and explore how to get there. I enjoy working with individuals who approach therapy with a sense of curiosity. Together we will delve into your past and your present to see how they intersect. We learn a lot about ourselves from our dynamics with others so we'll take a look at your relationships, and whether your needs are being met. We'll identify your goals and action steps around how to achieve them. I strive to be a partner in growth and change.

My aim is to foster a therapeutic space that is client-centered and supportive. As a client, you can expect to have a hands-on approach in your treatment by setting goals that you believe are important in creating the change you want for yourself. Each individual is unique and I do not believe in “one size fits all” therapy, so I will meet you where you are and work with you from there. I strive to empower clients and support their goals by developing and enhancing client skills using a variety of evidence-based interventions. I present a strength-based and solution-focused approach.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I value a strengths-based, person-centered approach to treatment. You are the expert of your experience and you have what it takes to achieve your therapy goals. We don’t exist in isolation and we don’t heal in isolation, which is why I work with my clients from a systemic framework.

Therapy asks us to tap into vulnerable parts of ourselves. My clients are courageous enough to show up as their authentic selves, therefore I value being my authentic self within our therapeutic relationship. I incorporate empirically supported interventions into our time processing concerns, building self-awareness, making meaningful changes, and exploring identities. My hope is you'll find safety and comfort as we build rapport and get into meaningful work. I specialize working with individuals who desire to dedicate less time and energy to food and body image concerns, and more time to aspects of life truly important to them.

A healthy sense of humor is just as much a bridge to another soul as it is a shield against the unbearable. My clients often laugh as much as they cry or express anger, and I think that's important in the business of healing. What do you want to heal? Is there something about your relationship with a loved one that feels uncomfortable or unsafe? Do you need a non-judgmental space to help you figure out what you want or who you are?

Are you tired of feeling like your mind won't quiet down, always overthinking and dealing with overwhelming anxiety that stops you from fully savoring life? Do you struggle to form meaningful relationships, navigate intimacy, and fully express your emotions? Maybe you'd like to understand patterns that are no longer working for you and how they developed. Maybe you suspect that it's possible to navigate life with more clarity and ease, but you're not sure where to begin.

My master's degree in international disaster psychology allows me to have a unique approach to life transitions, work stress, and building a life that you absolutely love. This experience has allowed me to help clients from many different walks of life manage work/life balance, improve executive dysfunction, and heal from trauma in many forms.

In-person appointments available in Denver. Are you struggling through anxiety, depression, or stress over a life transition? Or you wonder if you’re making the right decision about your relationship, your career, or your purpose? Let's work together to bring some clarity and healing to your situation. I wasn't always a therapist. I have worked in the Fortune 500 and have also owned and operated a business. These experiences help me bring real-world insights and practicality to every conversation. I provide a friendly, non-judgmental space and evidence-based approaches to help you find the way forward.

Do you feel stuck in a cycle of unhealthy relationships? Do you feel like your suffering has become too heavy to carry alone? When this happens, we can feel unloveable, broken, alone, and unable to heal and move forward. My goal is to create a therapy space where you feel supported and guided, and that I'm not just another person to talk to. Together we will work on breaking the cycle you are stuck in and empower you to create a future unburdened by your past.
