Sexual Addiction Therapists in Englewood, CO

Counseling is an opportunity to be listened to, to be heard, and to be understood. These are essential human needs that often go unfulfilled in day-to-day life. When was the last time someone really focused on you—when you were valued by another person who helped you to reach your capabilities? I am a trained professional and fellow human being who respects and values the power of a healing relationship. My goal is to provide a safe, caring space where we can explore together your reasons for seeking counseling and to create an approach that best suits your needs.

I believe we have the answers to our questions and issues within ourselves. As a therapist, with 20 years experience, my role is to help you unveil these answers. I want to help you work on issues related to trauma, grief and loss, addiction, mental illness, life transitions, and life coaching. People I've worked with describe me as authentic, sincere, and compassionate. I understand from my own experience-and those whom I've worked with--what suffering and struggle mean and how debilitating it can be. I'll help you work through your issues so you can live a more meaningful and satisfying life.

My ideal client is someone who wants to grow and change, hungry for the truth, and willing to do what it takes to press through and be transformed.

Talking about sex, relationships, and intimacy can be incredibly difficult. Throughout our lives many of us have been confronted with fear and shame-based messages, inaccurate and harmful information, and often problematic ideas regarding sexuality. These experiences can leave us feeling confused or ashamed, ultimately impacting our ability to tap into our full and authentic selves. Exploring these issues in a therapeutic setting with a trained, sex-positive therapist can be life-changing. A sex-positive framework means that I affirm all consensual sexual activity (or lack of sexual activity) as positive, healthy, and pleasurable.

Learn how to feel more connected to yourself, others and the world around you. Therapy provides all the elements of intimacy: honest communication, vulnerability and trust. Good therapy is challenging yet warm, providing both structure and empathy for your unique experience. We are a collective of therapists with a wide range of specialties. Our intake professionals will help connect you with the right therapist for your needs. We make appointments easy, offering evenings and weekends and flexibility for creative professionals who can't make the same time each week.

Personal trauma, anxiety, depression & sexual issues are obstacles in the way of living a fulfilled life. It takes a great deal of courage to seek help and doing so is the first step toward change. I believe that a strong and genuine therapeutic relationship is the key to successful treatment. Through getting to know you and understanding things from your perspective, I tailor treatment and interventions to meet your individual concerns, challenges, strengths and goals.

As a multiracial, queer woman of indigenous descent (reconnecting) I am passionate about decolonizing mental healthcare and sex therapy in supporting diverse clients in reaching their therapeutic goals. I love working with diverse individuals and relationships including BIPOC, lgbtqia2s+, neurodivergent, kink/bdsm, and expansive relational approaches. We all need to be seen, loved, and understood in supportive relationships-including our therapeutic relationship. Some specific areas of interest in my practice are sexual issues/exploration, gender, identities, embodiment, problematic behaviors, life changes, and congruence.

As a clinician in the field for over 7 years, I have been proud to serve individuals and families with a variety of issues. Over the years I have worked with many people dealing with depression (incl: postpartum), anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, military issues, PTSD, anger, couples/relational issues, child and adolescent issues, stage of life or adjustment issues, gender or sexuality issues, chronic pain, grief and loss, personality disorders, and substance abuse issues. My clientele range from ages 7 up to people in their 80s and have included a great diversity of cultures.

Are you feeling as if you were created to be more fulfilled and happier than you are right now? Do you know that somewhere inside you there is potential to become the best version of yourself but haven’t been able to make this your daily reality? Do issues such as anxiety, depression, difficult relationships, past trauma, or attachments to things you can’t seem to let go of make you feel overwhelmed and disconnected? I want to help! Together, you and I will seek to better understand what is going on and I will help you gain insight into your current situation. From this clarity, a process of healing and freedom will begin.

South Platte Counseling Group Offers Affordable Counseling For many people in the Denver metro area, taking care of one’s mental health can be a real challenge. We all know someone who could benefit from seeing a counselor, but the reality is that it’s often seen as a luxury that’s not affordable. With housing prices and the cost of living continuing to rise, many people neglect taking care of themselves mentally. Fortunately, South Platte Counseling now includes low-cost therapy and support groups. We do not take insurance, but we offer affordable pricing from $80-$200/session, with in-office or online/telehealth options.

Has your world been turned upside down after learning of your partner's secret romantic or sexual experiences? Do you feel furious, devastated, numb and confused all at the same time? One moment you feel love and the next extreme anger, one moment you're screaming and the next you're crying, one moment you're determined to leave and the next wondering if you can forgive? Or perhaps you've been dealing with this for a while and you feel stuck; you still can't trust or forgive, can't stop thinking about what happened, and worry about it happening again? I understand how you feel and am so deeply sorry that you're going through this.

I have over 40 years of experience working with a wide variety of clients, a wide range of issues and ages ranging from adolescence to the elderly. I have worked in multiple Mental Health and Substance Abuse treatment settings both inpatient and outpatient. I have run various types of Mental Health Programs, EAP services, and co-owned several group practices. In particular, I work with aduts, couples, families, and adolescents experiencing problems including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, job/work/career concerns, and school performance issues. I also utilize many strategies /tools from the John Gottman method.

I have extensive experience helping people attain sobriety and address the underlying issues that are often associated with substance use disorder. I have been providing therapy services and supervised other therapists for over 20 years. I love sitting with people and doing the work it takes to have a good life.

I see adult and adolescent clients experiencing difficulties with substances, addictions, trauma, mental health and sexually related concerns and dysfunction. I see clients for individual therapy, couples therapy, family therapy and group therapy. I am also an experienced evaluator, I provide mental health and substance abuse evaluations for the individual and the courts. I have been in the field of mental health, substance abuse/addiction therapy and treatment for 24 years, and I have worked with more than 2500 clients and families.

Relationships require work, and I'm here to support you in moving out of old patterns, into a brighter, healthier future, using the natural resources you possess. Relationships are active choices we make every day to remain in, yet it can be difficult to know how to reconnect or repair. We all want to be seen and understood by our partners and family members. When you are saying one thing and your partner hears something different, a space to explore why can be life changing. No one person is responsible for a relationship and all members of a family can contribute to the solution.

Looking for a good psychologist is hard and actually finding one is even harder. This is probably because understanding people, why they are struggling, and how to help takes hard work. Real change requires more than any quick fix or simple solution can offer. If you’re continually struggling in life, it might be time to look beyond the surface and explore the root of things. I will work with you in a depth-oriented manner that aims to deepen your self-understanding and create important and lasting change.

Counseling is all about learning new skills for relationship and managing emotions at work, home and in the community while allowing me to coach in the process! Individuals open to working within a family setting to change behaviors, long-standing relationship patterns or addictive behaviors are favorites with me.

I enjoy working with people of all ages and from all walks of life. I enjoy helping them find solutions to whatever challenges life is presenting them with. For some people, this may mean that they need only a few sessions, or what I call a"minor tune-up", before they are back on course with their lives. For others, this may mean more in-depth therapy to help find solutions to problems that have persisted over many years. And yet for others, they may not have any problems at all to solve per se.

I've been in the addictions / mental health (dual diagnosis) field for over 25 years in Colorado. I sincerely believe in clients' ability to make enduring change, after they have learned to identify and accept what's not working in their lives. I'm a very accessible and active therapist, and I offer specialized groups to meet clients' needs. Groups occur Tuesday through Saturday, depending on group assignment. Individual sessions are often a part of effective treatment planning, in addition to, or instead of, group format. Reasonable pricing.
