Transgender Therapists in Denver, CO

Are you seeking to improve your relationship with yourself and others? Want to make positive shifts in your life and need further support? Struggle with feeling fulfilled and connected in our fast-paced world? Seeking a different, more holistic approach to treating mental health concerns, that takes into account your mind, body, and spirit? Looking to explore your sexuality or address sexuality-related concerns? Cope with chronic health issues or support someone who does? Want to cultivate more vulnerability and reduce feelings of shame? Just want a connective, introspective space to explore life's questions?

When was the last time you felt safe? When you could really relax, and not worry about anything? Sometimes, the impacts of trauma are clear. The constant tension, panic, nightmares... Other signs of trauma can be trickier to recognize. Maybe you feel like you always have to be perfect. Maybe you don't know how to let yourself be vulnerable around others. Trauma can make it hard to speak up for yourself, can convince you that you are unlovable, or drive you to serve others while ultimately neglecting yourself. It can even make you sick or feel pain. Healing from trauma IS possible. It would be my privilege to help you learn how.

Are you feeling disconnected from your body, partner(s), family, or sense of self? Are you wanting to respond to difficult situations rather than react? Are you experiencing high stress because your body, identities and/or partnerships disrupt harmful societal norms? Have you had traumatic experiences that you feel ready to confront but are afraid to do so alone? If any of these questions reflect your current experience, I can support you in making lasting change.

Hello! My focus is working with adults who are struggling with relationship issues, poor self-esteem, anxiety, and depression. I value building strong, trusting relationships with my clients while making the most of each therapy session. Past clients would describe my therapy style as authentic, compassionate, and empowering.

I have been privileged to offer clinical support in various settings and within a professional field that works to achieve innovative and essential missions. Over the past ten years, I have developed extensive clinical experience in assessment, diagnostics, individualized treatment planning, and short and long-term group, couples, and individual psychotherapy, in various clinical settings and within diverse systems. I am licensed to offer telehealth counseling in Arizona, Colorado, New Jersey, and Florida.

I work with individual adults on issues related to anxiety, stress, relationships, perfectionism, and traumatic experiences. Sometimes change is a choice, and other times we are blindsided by life. Regardless of what leads to a shift for you, having a compassionate ally on the journey can make all the difference. I’m not immune to struggle or disappointment in my own life, and see my work as part change expert and part companion. Simply another human being coming alongside you to help you process, make peace with, or initiate steps towards a bigger transition that leads to less suffering, and more joy.

Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or depressed? Struggling with your relationships and want help connecting? You're not alone. I'm here to offer you space to explore, feel better and thrive. You don't get a medal for suffering, so let's work together to find you more joy in this one, beautiful (hard) life. I believe one of the bravest things we can do is begin to understand our own story. Vulnerability can be one of the scariest, most liberating, and empowering acts, and undoubtedly takes courage - so I commend you for being here, wherever you are in your process.

I strongly believe the clinical relationship is a journey of co-created wellness. I strive to partner with each client from a holistic, client centered, and trauma informed approach, with special attention paid to aspects of identity and cultural responsiveness. It is an honor to walk alongside clients as they strive for wellness based on their self-defined goals.

Finding the right words at the right time in relationships is tricky. Sometimes in the middle of an argument, when it matters most, words just aren’t there or they come out all wrong. You may find yourself freezing in panic or leaving the room to prevent saying something you don’t mean. Sometimes, the fear of repeating past experiences paralyzes and it’s really hard to imagine ever getting past those memories. For some, you might be on the other side of the argument, saying things out of exasperation that you regret later on. Relationships are hard! And it's painful getting stuck.

I have worked in mental health for 13 years and have found my passion counseling adolescents and young adults. For the past 11 years, I have had the privilege of working at Children's Hospital where I specialized in crisis work, as well as outpatient and inpatient behavioral services. My experience includes a wide range of mood and personality disorders, suicidal tendencies, self-harming behaviors, anxiety, depression, psychosis, aggression, emotional distress, trauma and abuse. My areas of focus include anxiety, depression, emotional support and the LGBTQ+ community.

I want to help bring authenticity and change to your life the way you want it to. I'm Nick (they/them), and I’m dual licensed in two states working with FL and CO clients. I work with queer issues and gender exploration/transition, codependency and relationship problems, anxiety disorders, neurodivergence, chronic illness, trauma, and grief/loss. I also work with non-monogamous/poly clients. I’m here to provide a safe and respectful place for you to be seen and heard. You're not alone and you don’t have to keep telling yourself everything is “fine” or normal in your life - let's find a better "normal" for you to live.

Imagine having space where you are greeted with warmth and kindness. You feel a sense of safety and acceptance from the moment you start your appointment. In this space, you are invited to be curious about yourself, explore the many layers of who you are and grow into the person you want to be. This is the space I am excited to provide as your therapist! Whether you are feeling anxious, depressed, stuck in the cycle of over-thinking, working through trauma or trying to better connect with yourself, you deserve to be seen, heard and understood.

We are licensed clinical psychologists who specialize in providing assessment services. With extensive experience in traumatic brain injury, strokes, and various neurological, psychiatric, and developmental disorders, we offer comprehensive assessment services uniquely tailored to individuals and families.

My ideal clients come into my office hoping to explore and better understand themselves and others, foster healthy and happy relationships, shift ineffective behavioral and relational patterns, and work towards a life that they consider fulfilled and worth living. Let’s focus on symptom reduction and personal growth. Change can be terrifying and at times feel impossible. Our work will be exploring and attending to how to best balance safety and risk to reach your personal goals. Change, which can be joyful and exciting, often also comes with loss and pain. Let’s work together to understand what that balance looks like for you.

Welcome to Love and Grow Youth and Family Therapy, PLLC :) I specialize in helping youth, young adults, couples, and families find direction in navigating difficulties with anxiety, depression, oppositional and defiant behavior, obsessive and compulsive behavior, as well as traumatic stress. I approach therapy with genuine curiosity, humbly meeting my clients where they are, validating those life experiences that bring my clients into therapy, and learning more about the tool kits clients have used thus far to steer them through troubled waters.

My approach to supporting clients relies on the neurobiological and systemic processes at work when challenging and traumatic events occur. I have been providing therapy and coaching services in Colorado for over a decade and specialize in delivering therapeutic care to complex trauma survivors of all ages. I have extensive knowledge in working with those who have a desire to increase their ability to navigate and process traumatic experiences, connect more meaningfully with their loved ones, and be more present and satisfied in their lives. Trauma isolates us; I believe that connection is our most powerful tool to fight back.

Jordan Lidstrom is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado who has been practicing since 2018.

She works collaboratively with clients to identify therapy goals and make the most successful and sustainable change possible.

My training for my doctorate was in child and family clinical practice and I obtained post-doctoral training in forensic psychology. I also received over 300 hour of training at the Neurosculpting Institute. In addition to my clinical and forensic practice, I have provided consultation services in such settings as Head Start, Federal Corrections, and Child Protection Services and for agencies serving the developmentally disabled. A large part of my practice has always included providing psychotherapy for children, adolescents, couples, and families. I have been married for over 30 years and have seven children.

I love working with LBGTQ+ and TGNC communities. I understand the unique challenges we face living in a society that sends us mixed messages about who we can or should be. I have worked with clients to navigate coming out at school/work/home, begin hormone therapy, work with difficult family dynamics and come to accept who they truly are. I also understand the importance of intersectionality and cultural humility in our communities and the impact minority stress has. My work is grounded in attachment theory, mindfulness and transpersonal psychology. I prefer a holistic approach to a diagnostic one.
