In Person Therapists in Englewood, CO

I enjoy working with clients who are motivated to look at their issues and be willing to change. I feel the therapeutic relationship is a collaborative effort conducted in a safe and caring environment. The relationship between the therapist and the client is as important in the healing process as any techniques that are used. I feel it is important to empower individuals to go out and live a rich and fulfilling life. I certainly believe that it is a privilege and an honor to participate in helping people heal through their life's most challenging times.

I have great passion for what I do and truly love my job. Most clients tell me that they find me compassionate, open, and accepting. I am directive in my approach and try to let my clients know what I'm thinking. I believe therapy is a collaborative process where we work together to discover what it is that you want to change in your life and figure out what approach will work best for you.

For as long back as I can remember, I have believed in the power and importance of relationships. Relationships are at the heart of who we are, how we grow, and who we become. In our early years, our closest relationships teach us how to be with others and influence how we see the world. Although we may learn one way to be in relationship when we are a child, our attachment style can also be changed through our current relationships no matter what our age, which can then allow us to choose with intention how we parent, support, and relate to our children.

Life is difficult. No one is exempt from suffering. Together we can assess your current challenges and make a plan to increase your well-being. We will also identify and build on your strengths while offering you new skills. You don't have to do this alone.

We all have a story to tell. In my 20+ years of counseling individuals and couples, I’ve had the honor of hearing many stories that exhibit the strength of individuals healing from grief, injustice, trauma and chronic illness. I’ve been inspired by the resiliency of the human spirit and the hopefulness that inevitably develops as the narrative of one’s life unfolds. It can be a painful process but one that yields great rewards as we gain understanding of what our story has to tell us about our past and helps us to plan for our future.

Have you been dealing with symptoms of anxiety, depression, unresolved pain, or anger? How you feel impacts so many things- your relationships, your health, your sleep and your work. You may have tried making some changes to feel better on your own, however, you may be frustrated by your progress. You know things could be better. Finding a therapist you truly connect with can help you gain the skills you need to transform your life into one that feels calmer, more joyful and healthier.

Throughout my training as a therapist there were two phrases that impacted my understanding of the therapy process: "You are the expert on the process and your client is the expert on their story, pain, thoughts, and feelings" & "The client is the key to their own success." With these two phrases I continuously reminded myself that I'm responsible for guiding my clients in the direction(s) that are beneficiary and to collaborate with them throughout the therapeutic process. My training was specifically geared toward individual counseling and addressing various challenges that can occur throughout life.

Sometimes, all the "stuff" in life can leave us feeling burnt out, stuck, anxious, or depressed. It can easily lead to a desire to isolate, irritability, and avoidance. Maybe there was an event or events in your life that makes life feel more difficult. Maybe it's the "too much." Either way, we can work together to teach your body to manage more effectively. Because hour-a-week sessions can be difficult for some people to schedule, I offer intensive EMDR. With this model, we will work through your struggle in a 1-2 day chunk of time. This model allows for more efficient emdr as well as easier scheduling.

I have over 30 years of experience in psychology - researching, teaching, and practicing psychotherapy.

In treating children, adolescents, families and adults for thirty years, my approach has evolved to become increasingly more relaxed, humorous, active, and-at its core-respectful. It is not based on giving advice or otherwise suggesting that I know what is best for you. On the contrary, my therapy (and personal) “voice” has grown to become increasingly grounded in humility and profound empathy, sitting comfortably not being certain, keeping my mind open, listening intensely, putting aside my personal opinions and reference points-all in order for me to genuinely see you and support growth and even transformation.

Judith Spendelow, PsyD: I am a licensed Psychologist with the Denver Center for Relational Healing. My ideal clients feel out of balance and harmony with themselves, or with their partner. They have trouble coordinating different aspects of themselves and their relationship(s), so that needs are met satisfactorily, They see themselves as a wholistic person, and recognize that body, mind and spirit work together within them to create and heal their experiences. While they may feel "stuck" at times, they are willing to look at what their role can be to facilitate "getting unstuck!"

I believe that the most important factor of success in therapy is the authentic relationship. I have a passion for learning about each client's talents and strengths and using those to increase their life satisfaction. I believe that all people have a desire to live the best lives they can live, and at times need support in identifying and eliminating the barriers that prevent them from doing so. I believe that trauma, whether from watching the daily news or experiencing combat in war, is at the root of many of these barriers.

With 25 years in clinical practice, I am a firm believer in the effectiveness of psychotherapy to improve self confidence and self esteem, to develop more fulfilling relationships and to set one's life course in a positive direction for the future. I try to not only help my clients find relief from bothersome symptoms but also to help get to the root of the problem that has brought them into therapy. In this way the therapy has a deeper and longer-lasting effect as clients learn how to free themselves from problematic patterns from the past and live more fully in the present.

I provide psychotherapy and counseling to adults, couples and families, and have extensive training in couples work and grief therapy (including traumatic loss and loss after a suicide). I draw primarily from a Psychodynamic approach to therapy but have training in a variety of modalities, including EMDR and Brainspotting, specialized grief therapy, DBT, family systems, IFS, trauma therapy, and Imago couples therapy, so as to be able to meet my clients where they are and with what might best attend to their issues.
