Therapists in Douglas County, CO

You're frustrated. You don't know why you feel so unhappy, but you do. It seems like all you do is give while others just take. You feel empty inside. What's worse is that you're angry, but you feel guilty about it. You try to suck-it-up and have a good attitude, but it doesn't work. You know that something needs to change. You just don't know what. All you know is that you are sad about the way your relationships are with the people you love. Sometimes, your "caring" only allows people to take advantage of you and often you go without your needs being met. The good news is that you can learn to change these patterns!

I am dedicated to aiding parents, children and families function cohesively by promoting healthy, meaningful and enriching relationships. I place a strong value on the bond between children and their parents. One of my goals as your counselor is to provide encouragement and guidance on how to support your child's growth by working through developmental tasks and important milestones. I collaborate closely with parents to ensure that the work done in session is reflected in the home as well.

Hello! I am a licensed professional counselor specialized in general mental health care. I have experience working with clients who have substance use disorders, mental health disorders, trauma, and criminogenic needs. I believe that therapy is both an art and a science, and I use a multi-factor approach based on each client’s individual needs. I am passionate about clients feeling they are empowered to make their own choices and validating their experiences. In the therapeutic relationship, I see you as the expert of your life. I am merely a guide and observer to help you reach your goals.

When you're feeling out of control, overwhelmed or unable to cope effectively, your life may feel out of balance. Talking to someone about the events or circumstances that led to these feelings can be helpful. Understanding the connection between our thoughts, feeling and actions can be life changing. Sometimes we need to peel back the onion a bit, in a safe environment, to be able to move forward. My goal is to work in collaboration with you to help you feel more prepared to adapt to the feeling and challenges you are experiencing and to learn some skills to be more in control and content with your life.

Welcome! A genuine therapeutic relationship is vital! I offer empathy, encouragement, and support to help clients with life changes and hard times. I am a licensed clinical social worker from New Orleans, Louisiana with years of experience working as a psychotherapist. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting concerns, career challenges, serious mental disorders, and substance abuse disorders. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.

Welcome! Maybe you've landed here hoping to find someone who will be a good fit to help you or a loved one with a particular struggle or growth area. Being caught in repeating patterns of behavior, experiencing crippling anxiety or eating and body image issues can negatively impact health and make you feel stuck and discouraged. My passion is for helping the burdened find freedom and joy and helping those who love them to feel equipped to be the most effective supports they can be.

Often times in life we go through painful experiences which can lead to grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, and many others. These experiences can make you feel stuck and unable to find joy and my belief is that you always have a basic wisdom and worth. You may feel that life’s struggles have caused you to feel disconnected from your basic nature of health, joy, and growth. Therapy can help you understand and uncover parts of yourself that you may have become disconnected from. I use evidenced-based practices such as Mindfulness-based Therapy which has shown to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and improve quality of life.

I enjoy working with individuals, couples and families, who are willing to do whatever it takes to improve their well-being. By sharing your concerns, together we can develop a workable solution-focused plan to bring solid changes and make the greatest impact on problem issues. I offer skills and techniques to reduce anxiety/fears, stress, depression, mood changes, and help with relationship communications and the ability to function more resiliently. We will identify triggers, images, thoughts, emotions and sensations that cause difficulties and work to create an optimally healthy mind that functions in a healthy way.

My approach to the therapy process is eclectic in style. I listen and learn from you, then take concepts from multiple types of therapy practices that will benefit each client I work with. I take an individual and personalized approach with every client. My intention is to come alongside you and help guide you to your goals to achieve what you want out of the therapy process.

My mission is to guide children, parents and families towards an increase in strength and resiliency. Teaghlach (pronounced /chye-lukh/) means family in Irish Gaelic. Family is a subjective term, meaning there is no “normal” when it comes to identifying what a family means to you. Strength and resiliency comes from families of all shapes and sizes. Whether you are looking for support for your child dealing with anxiety, behavior or self-esteem, or for yourself, individually or along with your partner, to grow in your relationships and skills, I hope that you find Teaghlach Counseling to be the support your family is looking for.

Licensed in CO, IL and AZ!

I especially enjoy supporting parents who are parenting special needs or medically fragile children. My focus is to provide therapy in a welcoming, calming environment that allows moms to feel safe and understood. Babies are always welcome, and I provide convenient online therapy so we can meet wherever you may find yourself.

Hello and welcome to your counseling journey! I know how difficult it can be to take that first step of finding a counselor, and I want to affirm you for seeking out change and healing. Whether you are experiencing difficulty with big life transitions, increased stress, anxiety, relationship issues, grief or trauma, there is help available. I believe that the relationship between a counselor and client is the catalyst for change and healing — so it’s very important to find the right fit for you and your family.

Welcome to my psychoanalytic practice for children, adolescents, and adults. Our minds have a huge influence on how we think and feel each day; slowing down and noticing subtle aspects of ourselves with a trained analyst can provide much needed integration of powerful emotions that have not yet had a voice for expression. People can articulate emotions without feeling them, experience emotions in the body, can't find words, and unthinkingly go into action never quite feeling satisfied. Psychoanalytic work can involve the experience of play, and with kids, play will be the work. Integrating feelings and thoughts vitalizes human life.

Welcome! I am excited to journey with you into the amazing person you are! I love supporting my clients to become more self-aware and self-empowered. I believe that we all have the ability to thrive and resonate at a high frequency and my focus is facilitating the shift from surviving to thriving. I support clients in building a strong connection to self, inner calm, and relational interdependence that allows a sense of lightness and joy into their lives. I am also very passionate about wellness and emphasize holistic and nutritional elements of wellness into my therapy.

Offering ONLINE sessions. It’s hard to be a woman! We feel like all the pressure is on us. We keep trying so hard to do it perfectly, but life still isn’t going the way we planned. We have the pressure of career, fertility, parenting, romantic relationships, time for a social life. There's all of that and then we notice the past we’ve been running from creeping up on us. It can be exhausting, not to mention overwhelming. And is anyone talking about how hard getting pregnant can be? It's supposed to just happen easily, but month after month the pregnancy tests keep coming back negative. It feels like our bodies are failing us.

Hello there! Welcome to my page. My work and focus changes with the age of my client that I’m working with. With a younger child, I join my clients on the floor and have a wide array of toys and games to connect with the child and play with them. With my pre-teen, teen, and young adults I focus on relationship building and gaining trust to assist with the goals that we set. I treat all my clients with respect to reflect the innate worth I believe that every individual holds.
