Play Therapy in Denver, CO

Having an impactful counseling experience is important to you. You're looking for someone who is understanding, knowledgeable, and experienced. For over 32 years, I have dedicated myself to honing my ability to provide you a counseling experience that is empowering and successful. I aim at collaboration and transparency in working with families, couples and individuals. To accomplish this, I ask clients for feedback at the end of each session, and I actively talk with those whom I serve about any changes they feel need to be made to improve their client experience.

I am a licensed, board certified occupational therapist. I specialize in the treatment of mental health conditions impairing function/daily routines (and ability to perform at work and/or school). Conditions treated include but are not limited to anxiety, depression, tic disorders/Tourette/OCD/Body Focused Repetitive Behaviors (skin picking, hair pulling), executive functioning, obesity, lifestyle/wellness habits to reverse heart disease/diabetes, joint and physical challenges among children, teens, and adults. I am certified in Comprehensive Behavioral Intervention for Tics (and Tourette Syndrome).

I am passionate about helping kids, teens, and young adults learn how to manage their anxiety symptoms, increase their self-esteem, and effectively regulate their emotions. Most of my practice focuses on the challenges of everyday life and empowering clients to face their struggles confidently. During your sessions, we will work together to focus on understanding your individual needs, empowering you to identify and utilize your strengths, and collaboratively work towards your therapeutic goals. My mission is to create a safe and nurturing space where you can navigate challenges, build resilience, and foster positive growth.

I enjoy and have experience working with kids, teens, parents, and adults. My clients are welcome to be themselves in order to grow in therapy. I am queer, bilingual, and have experience with recent immigrants and trauma

Trauma and stress shape the way we relate to ourselves, others, and the world, creating patterns of protection that hold us back from living the lives we long for. I see therapy as a collaborative exploration that nurtures connection, invites curiosity, and ultimately leads to inner and outer harmony. I believe the foundation of any healing process is a safe and authentic relationship where all parts of you feel seen and heard. This dynamic fosters the shared connection needed to tune in to difficult emotions and sensations at the right pace for your system and reshape the way you connect with yourself, others, and the world.

Many of us carry the idea that happiness is about being content, cheerful, carrying a smile on one's face all the time. Rather, I like to think of well-being as a balance in one's "emotional ecosystem," or variety of different emotions we allow ourselves to experience.I believe that our emotional flexibility to experience a full range of emotions (positive, negative, & a mix of both) is strongly linked to our feelings of happiness & well-being. No, I don't believe there's anything wrong with you. Perhaps all you need rightnow are tools to help you embrace the full range of your human experience while "surfing" those emotional waves.

Hi! My name is William. I hold a Master's degree in Social Work from the Jane Adams College of Social Work at the University of Illinois at Chicago and earned my Bachelor's in Social Work from Bowling Green State University. I am dedicated to obtaining my clinical license as an LCSW candidate.

AYCMARC, (We are open when everyone else is closed) asks you this question: true or false. The only person you can change is your self (surprise! answer). Hi my name is Mark M Miller. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Licensed Addiction Counselor (LAC) and the founder of at Your Convenience Mental Health and Relationship Counseling of Denver (AYCMARC). The answer to the question is false. Psychology and systems theory show us that any change in the system (family, group or society) changes the system. Therefore a more truthful axiom is the only person you can willingly change is yourself.

I help my clients by meeting them where they are at and adjusting my clinicial approach based off of their needs. If they are needing more support, I will offer validation. If they are needing psychoeducation and tools.

Negative experiences shape how we think about ourselves, but they don't have to define us forever. We can learn new ways of relating to ourselves and the people around us via a variety of therapeutic modalities. With a therapist who can hold space for you with compassion and wisdom, you can overcome obstacles and cultivate resilient wellbeing. ​ I might be helpful to you if: You know what it is like to feel held back from life, but don’t know how to engage; You crave connection and community, but feel uncomfortable reaching out to others; You feel disconnected from your body – you may not recognize there is a disconnect.

A strong therapeutic relationship is the cornerstone of healing and growth. My passion lies in creating a safe, positive space where adolescents can openly share their thoughts and feelings, learn to navigate life's challenges, and develop resilience. I understand that the current climate, with its social distancing and remote learning, has taken a toll on many young people, leading to increased anxiety, depression, and even substance use. These struggles often ripple through the entire family, creating stress and disconnection. That's why I offer both individual therapy for adolescents and coaching sessions for parents.

Imagine feeling supported through every stage of your journey, making sustainable changes that resonate through your life. I'm passionate about guiding clients through these transformations. When you connect deeply with your therapist, change becomes not just possible, but tangible. With me, therapy isn't just a session—it's a safe haven where your thoughts and behaviors are validated and gently challenged to foster positive growth. I offer individual and family therapy, addressing anxiety, depression, trauma and life adjustments. I believe in the power of mind-body connection to equip you with resilience and tools for growth.

Are you tired of feeling misunderstood, alone and overwhelmed? Do you feel like you’ve tried everything, only to still struggle? Emotions, trauma and relationship stress can leave us feeling defeated and hopeless. My clients include children and adults overwhelmed by emotions, trauma responses, and/or dealing with relationship wounds (e.g., parenting stressors, infidelity, communication breakdown). We work together so you feel truly heard, seen, and understood. Your goals matter and we take intentional actions so therapy feels productive and meaningful.

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

I specialize in working with children/adolescents/young adults with developmental disabilities and/or cognitive impairments. My goal is to help indiviudals and their families make connections between difficult behaviors and their underlying causes, and to find interventions that work well for the family. I believe that assessing and identifying strengths in both the client and the family is just as important as identifying the problems.

My role as a therapist is to help my clients peel back the layers of what is occurring in their life and help them work towards achieving their goals. Counseling helps us understand more effective ways to communicate, how to relate to the world around us, and how to give life a sense of meaning. It helps us identify areas that may be holding us back from our best self. I would like to learn more about how we can work through life's challenges together.

Life leads to many instances where we feel overwhelmed, depleted, and in need of support. Maybe it is a life transition such as starting a new job, parenting, dealing with illness or the loss of a loved one, having an experience that left you scared or, perhaps something else. As people, we have the ability to heal, grow and transform our lives. Many times the path of healing feels stressful and is easier with the support of a counselor. Despite what our society often tells us; we do not have to bear this weight on our own and I am happy to help.
