Clients who work best with me find that the relationship we develop is a real and transformational relationship.
I use a mindfulness based approach and psychedelic ketamine assisted psychotherapy (KAP) in my work with couples and individuals from all walks of life. The majority of my clientele are working on learning how to be more present in the here and now, seeking to improve their relationships, and find life satisfaction. I help clients reconnect with their true selves, develop emotional awareness, work through relationship conflict, rebuilding trust, and improve intimacy. Clients who work best with me are open to change, willing to let go, and reconnect with their own internal relationships.

As a bi-racial, cishet man of the global majority I've had to undertake redefining what traditional masculinity means for me and those with whom I am in relationship.
As relational beings, the experience of feeling connected to our authentic self and that of others is essential to wellness. Investigating the multi-layered stories that are told about us, which often inform how we view ourselves, is critical to finding alternative ways of stepping into the power of our truths. Exploring, and interrogating, the messages that are intimately tied to culture, ancestry, and community can offer wisdom necessary in addressing problems in living folks experience. Whether seeking individual, relational, or family therapy, I believe the healing journey is inherently a collective one.

The truth above and that people need mental health, addiction, or relationship counseling when most practices are closed.
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 believe all psychological symptoms serve a function, such as regulating emotions, avoiding distress, or maintaining interpersonal connections. In therapy, we will identify the functions of your symptoms and find healthier ways for you to meet your needs. This often involves exploring the interpersonal contexts in which your symptoms developed and are maintained. In this way, we will identify what's getting you stuck and make way for you to have new emotional and interpersonal experiences. My therapeutic style is collaborative, warm, curious, and empathic.

I'm ACT & EMDR trained, a certified Prepare & Enrich relationship counselor, and have extensive experience in counseling in a faith-based environment.
People don't usually seek counseling because everything feels like "sunshine and rainbows". Typically, if you're here, you're hoping to motivate change in your life. If you are finding yourself stuck in the same patterns, having the same fights and struggling with the same problems, counseling may be a good fit for you. While there is no guarantee to a happier or 'better' you, I believe that counseling is a great place to start. As your counselor, we can work together to create a safe & comfortable place for you to explore tough moments in life, where learning, growth, (and even change!), occur.

Relationship Issues Therapists
While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
