Female Therapists in Glendale, CO

Do you ever feel haunted by your past or that depression and anxiety are holding you back from the life that you want? Or want to be happier, improve relationships, feel good about who you are, your parenting, or heal from past trauma? Our work together will help you flourish into a place of clarity and profound healing. The life that you want is not as far away as it seems. My clients say they feel deeply seen and heard and feel better than they ever thought possible. Therapy can be truly transformative with powerful techniques such as EMDR, IFS, and somatic therapy. Let's start that journey towards joy together.

I am a humanistic therapist dedicated to fostering growth and self-actualization in my clients. With a deep belief in the inherent worth and potential of each individual, I provide a warm, empathetic space for exploration and healing. Drawing from person-centered and existential approaches, I aim to empower clients to discover their own paths towards fulfillment and authenticity. Together, we embark on a journey of self-discovery and personal growth, navigating life's challenges with courage and resilience.

I work with adult clients who are looking for a relational, insight-oriented, and collaborative environment to find resolution to areas of "stuck"ness, trauma, loss, & other wounds that come with being human in this world. I work together with my clients to create a deeper understanding of how our life experiences interact with our nervous system's capacity to help us survive. I utilize relational, neurobiological, & attachment-based approaches to help you move towards resolution, healing, & compassion for yourself. As a clinician, professor, supervisor, author, and presenter, I bring a depth of experience to our work together.

My role as an art therapist and counselor is to actively assist each client in their own unique process of discovering their insights and strengths to help them navigate the primary issues that have brought them into therapy. My goal is to create a safe, accepting, and trusting environment for my clients. I value the art process as an approach to healing. I am a trauma informed therapist. I draw from strength based, cognitive behavioral, humanistic, experiential, and person centered approaches to therapy.

I have over 25 years of clinical experience across multiple mental health systems. I have served in treating individuals and families in private practice for over 20 years, as well as schools, mental health communities, medical settings, and in Behavioral Health consulting in a number of high-risk settings. Additionally I worked as the Clinical Director of an inpatient substance use disorder treatment center. I am an intuitive compassionate presence dedicated to the field. I am diligent at staying up to date with emerging treatment modalities and theories.

Are you grappling with depression, anxiety or the aftermath of a traumatic experience? It’s normal to feel overwhelmed, alone, and uncertain about finding relief. But you don’t have to face this journey alone.

Sometimes we get stuck...in patterns that don't serve us, relationships that don't feel fulfilling, or even stuck with unhelpful thoughts. If you are dealing with anxiety, depression, unresolved trauma, challenges in relationships or life transitions, it can feel difficult to imagine relief. We all have within us the innate capacity to heal from difficult experiences and we deserve to be seen and cared for as our authentic selves. Deciding to explore ways to shift our story and opening up to the possibility of feeling less burdened, is a remarkable step!

Whatever you are feeling right now is a valid response to the world around you and the sum of your past experiences. I am here to help you make sense of who you are in order to become who you are meant to be. I see therapy as an opportunity to peel back the layers of conditioning from society, your upbringing, past traumas, and the stories you tell yourself, allowing you to reconnect with the purest essence of yourself. I would be honored to hear your story and meet your special flavor of magic. Whether you are ready for a change or simply looking for support, I am here to witness your journey with deep presence and genuine care.

My name is Savra Frounfelker and I am as eclectic as my background and experience. I have lived with a passion for helping people live their best lives. I have lived all over the United States, from California, Nevada, Oregon, Buffalo and now Colorado. My work has led me first as a case manager in California for people with intellectual disabilities. From there I went on to study to be a Master in Social Work from the California State University in Sacramento and then achieved my PhD from University at Buffalo.

When you enter my office, you enter a safe space intended for change. Asking for help is not always easy and you are taking the first steps towards a gratifying life. Healing is a journey, and I would love to join you down this path to accomplish your goals. I am here to listen and support you every step of the way.

Do you feel stuck, like you’re not living the life you want, or unable to fully be you? Do you feel like something in the past or even something inside you is getting in the way? Do you feel like you’re in the dark searching for light, for hope, but are unable to see or find it? Since 2008, I’ve worked with numerous individuals to help them connect to themselves, to heal, to reach the life they desire, to feel authentic and whole. But most importantly, I’ve helped people find hope, a light, a reason to engage and fully participate in this life.

Thank you for your interest. In this rapidly changing world it can be helpful to find a calming space, to be connected, to feel some consistency, stability, and safety. I believe therapy can help to create this. I have over 20 years of clinical experience in fields of Eating Disorders and Trauma. I appreciate that therapy and recovery involve choice and a commitment--both of which can falter. I value your bravery in seeking help and I am therefore committed to creating space for honesty, enhancing skills of willingness and motivation, finding and empowering your voice, and finding ways to reconnect with your life.

We grow in relationship with ourselves and each other. How do we connect with people and build a unique, full life? How do we "keep our cool", deflecting media hype, when abrupt decisions disrupt our "in the spot light" careers? How do we achieve our life's highest meaning, and our relational, personal, social and professional satisfaction? Including the sports, medical and mental health professions, I provide consultation and counseling for highly visible, local and national government leaders. My culture and faith friendly, overall wellness, systems supportive, preventive and restorative emphasis is available to individuals, couples, families, groups & supervisees.

I have a passion for working with clients who are ready to heal intergenerational patterns that are no longer serving them. Clients come to me when they are struggling to reconnect with the authentic version of themselves and/or want to heal from relational wounds and deepen their connection with others. It can be hard to exist authentically in the world due to trauma, societal, and systemic concerns. We are taught in Individualistic and Westernized culture that independence reigns over connection; but, we did not arrive in this world as solo travelers. We were never meant to journey through this life alone.

Change can be challenging, but it’s worth it. My goal is to gently guide you to discover all that you are capable of. Together, we will explore the root of your situation and integrate your strengths so that you will be empowered to make the changes you want to see in your life. I will always meet you where you’re at with honesty, compassion, curiosity, and the belief that you are able to create the life you want.

I specialize in helping women navigate the complexities of perinatal mental health. I particularly help with supporting my clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, or overwhelm related to pregnancy or postpartum. It's important that my clients feel they can achieve emotional well-being, find balance, and adapt to their new role as a mother. Together we can build your resilience, confidence, and clarity during this significant transition.

IFS Therapy: I've had the privilege of offering a healing space to clients over the past 30 years, providing a safe sanctuary where they learn to trust their inner quiet wisdom that can heal deep childhood wounds. It's a joy to witness clients reclaiming their authentic selves and open-heartedness spontaneity once they've released the burden of painful emotions they may have held for decades. . . . . . I would be honored to accompany you on that journey.
