Therapists in Denver, CO

I have over 10 years experience in the field of trauma with emphasis on sexual abuse, depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, interpersonal/relational conflict and life transitions. I received my BA and MA from Naropa University in Boulder, CO which has a philosophy rooted in the belief that all individuals have the tools within themselves to heal from even the most difficult of experiences. My therapeutic foundation is rooted in this same philosophy. My ideal client is anyone eager to reclaim who they truly are with curiosity, compassion and raw vulnerability. By discovering this inner truth, they are set free.

Our clinical focus is a "hybrid" approach combining Dialectical and Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Relational/Experiential therapy, primarily for the adolescent and emerging adult, but also working with adults, families and couples. Our clients struggle with regulating emotions, distress tolerance, core emptiness (confusion about oneself), as well as interpersonal conflict with frequent emotional chaos. Our time-limited, solution-focused technique is often sought to augment a person's existing individual therapy. Our approach is also effective in treating depression, self-injury, anxiety - focusing on coping skills. We are comprised of 4 licensed clinicians offering both individual, couple and group therapy.

“We are all just walking each other home.” -Ram Dass. I am a firm believer that with the right supports at our fingertips we can weather almost anything. For this reason, it is important to me that we build a safe space where you and I partner together, to understand your journey AND work toward getting you the tools you need to honor yourself, honor your needs and become your best with each passing day. I value building trust and working as a team with you so that we can help you courageously heal, fall back in love with the life you have right before your eyes and proudly be your full and authentic self no matter where you are.

Have you ever felt like you’ve experienced things in your life that make you feel alone, as if others can’t possibly understand? Have you been overwhelmed by your trauma to the point it has severely impacted your mental health – specifically depression and anxiety? Your choices and behaviors are all deep-rooted in issues of the past? Do you just need a better way to cope? If you struggle with any of the above questions, I may be a perfect match for you.

I work with children, adolescents, and adults, from a foundation of respect, collaboration, and genuineness. I offer individual and family psychotherapy and psychological assessments (including educational evaluations). Therapy is tailored specifically to each individual or family. I bring a strong clinical background and range of experiences that have allowed me to hone my skills to meet the needs of each of my patients. I work with a range of patients that may seek a deeper understanding of oneself or improved self-esteem, as well as changes in mood, behaviors, or relationships.

Each of us has the ability to impact the world in a unique and powerful way and we are all born with the desire to deeply connect with others. Struggles with anxiety, depression, insecurity, burnout and stress can discourage us and keep us from realizing our full potential. Counseling gives you the opportunity to feel seen, heard and understood as well as challenged. It is through therapy that we come to understand ourselves more fully allowing personal growth, self esteem and possibly true satisfaction with the life we are given.

Hey There! I believe that every thought, emotion, and behavior that a person entertains is actively shaping their current reality. I view our therapeutic relationship as a partnership. You & I will define your intentions for therapy and create active goals to shift patterns. I have always had a strong calling to support others. I believe that people can learn to accept, love, and claim authenticity by moving away from patterns that are no longer serving the individual, by actively exploring their unique interests & evolving needs. I respect and acknowledge all relationship styles & sexual identities. My goal is to hold space.

I work with young people aged 14-35. I am a borderline personality disorder specialist primarily and also support other personality disorders, ADHD, and high achieving people with anxiety. Clients often say they want a therapist who will provide realistic, down-to-earth support and engage them in hard discussions which is what people find when they meet with me; I'm the same person in the therapy room as I am outside of it.

Thank you for viewing my profile. I have 3 graduate degrees, all in mental/behavioral health, licenses in Co. and CA., and I am comfortable in working with a vast array of issues. I have worked in several mental health settings throughout my career, including: community mental health, hospitals, dialysis centers and private practice. My theory basis is psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral, but I always work with the patient in their comfort level and style. I strongly feel that therapeutic success comes from my ability to help others help themselves. I look forward to potentially working with you. Dr. Jacks

Life can be really hard, and sometimes the hardest part is asking for help. Humans are complicated, social beings who have been cut off from society and routine for the past two years. If you have a history of mental illness, relationship issues, identity concerns, mood changes, or life transitions, those feelings may have been exacerbated by our current world. If you are ready to ask for help, let me offer a relaxed, non - judgmental space to provide mental wellness. I have worked for close to a decade with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and personality disorders.

Do you wish you felt more confident and had better relationships? Does fear or anxiety hold you back? Most of us feel lonely, isolated, insecure, ashamed and misunderstood at times, which keeps us from enjoying peace of mind and accomplishing our goals. If you are tired of living this way, therapy can help you tackle the things that are keeping you from a satisfying life. I believe in empowering, validating, and offering therapeutic support to my clients so that they can move forward and see change.

Peregrine Counseling and Wellness is a nonprofit mental health organization based in southeast Denver, CO. We aim to promote wellbeing from a mind-body perspective, working to heal trauma through the integration of evidence-based practices. Our team of clinicians have over a decade or more of experience working with victims of trauma and trauma related disorders.

My practice is rooted in the belief that we are all doing our best in this life; at the same time, we have experiences wherein our best efforts to reduce pain and misery--or to live the life we want--simply do not work. My approach to treating life's most difficult problems involves balancing the strong desire for change, with the acceptance that change is hard and often slow going. In my clinical work I utilize both sophisticated change strategies (cognitive behavior- and behavior therapy), along with a compassionate acceptance of reality as it is (mindfulness).

I take a non-judgmental, empathic, compassionate, and insight-oriented approach to therapy. Current research, as well as my experience and training help me to determine the treatment strategies from psychodynamic, relational, humanistic, existential, cognitive and behavioral approaches that will be most effective in addressing your concerns. I work to create a supportive environment that facilitates reflectiveness, creativity and that helps you increase insight into your present struggles. I believe that your view of yourself and the issues that have lead to their seeking therapy are influenced by your unique life experiences.

I often wish I could change my professional moniker from “psychotherapist” to “life enhancer,” because that is truly what I do. I want to help you cultivate self-compassion and acceptance for who you are and where you are at in your life, while at the same time encouraging you to evaluate and change what is not productive. My style can be described as “radically genuine” – I communicate authentically, compassionately and openly. You won’t ever hear that space cadet therapist-y voice coming from me, but you will definitely hear an f-bomb or two.

The CDCBT specializes in evidence-based treatment of mental health issues. We treat a wide variety of disorders including: chronic depression and anxiety, personality disorders, trauma, grief, and eating disorders.
