Eclectic Therapists in Lafayette, CO

Take a deep breath and express gratitude to yourself for taking this amazing step to a more joyful life! My name is Amanda Malone, LCSW, and I am the owner of Marigold Mental Health, LLC. The marigold flower is often considered a symbol of positive energy, joy, inner strength, and the light that lives inside a person. Through the integration of animal-assisted interactions, play and art-based interventions, mindfulness, evidence-based practices, and relationship-building, my goal is to help you identify and cherish your own inner strengths and achieve your unique goals.

As you may be searching through folks profiles, how do you know if a counselor is right for you? A comfortable and genuine connection is vital in the relationship between a client and therapist, and most importantly - healing takes place in the relationship you have with yourself. I trust and believe that every person holds the wisdom to their own answers for growth. Sometimes we need someone to whole-heartedly hear us and support along the way. I view counseling as an opportunity to be fully seen and heard for who you are and have a companion/guide with you.

Are you able to accept yourself as you are right now, while also committing to change? While you may be seeking therapy to get rid of a problem, what if we turn toward that problem, listen to it, and even notice how it is taking care of you? Ironically, this is how problems seem to shift. You may struggle with your capacity to feel present and authentic in your relationships. These struggles may have roots in what you first learned about love and closeness as a little person. In our work you can learn to embrace, understand, and take good care of this early imprint in your adult relationships.

I have lived in a small town in the Rockies where I have practiced for over 30 years. I enjoy my work and like to help my clients learn to live the fullest life possible. I am very good with couples and also help divorcing couples go through the process with kindness and compassion. I have years of training and experience working with both victims and perpetrators of Intimate Partner Violence. I have worked with substance abusing individuals as well as addicts of pornography, sex and gambling.

WELCOME! I ENJOY WORKING WITH INDIVIDUALS who are motivated to learn about themselves and their relationships~to their partner, family, work, creative endeavors and/or physical health. CLIENTS report that they appreciate my humor, compassion and interactive style. TOGETHER, we explore how specific patterns may be at the root of emotional, interpersonal and/or physical challenges. TO BRIDGE THE GAP that often occurs between insight and transformative change, I draw from my background in the MEDICAL FIELD, as well as from NEURO("BRAIN")SCIENCE, MINDFULNESS PRACTICES and current research regarding the intricate RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL HEALTH.

Finding support or someone to talk to can be overwhelming and confusing and reaching out for support is a great gift to yourself and is brave. Seeking support for your mental health and well being can be life changing and is unique for each person.

I work with adults who are looking to relieve depression and anxiety or cope with life transitions or challenges, couples looking for more meaningful and satisfying relationships and children/adolescents needing support with emotional or behavioral difficulties. I utilize a variety of therapeutic theories, allowing for flexibility in meeting your individual needs in the most beneficial way.

Are you a sensitive person who feels overwhelmed by the world around you? Do you sometimes feel like your needs are overlooked by others? Do you find yourself experiencing the same problems despite your best efforts to do things differently? I get it. I have been there myself and an important thing to understand is that you are not alone. Many of us have difficulty knowing, or even asking, for what we need. We often suffer from patterns which repeat themselves and are hard to understand. This pain can manifest in the form of depression, anxiety, and relationship challenges, among other things.

Stress is a fixture in all of our lives. Many people are living with trauma. Dealing with stress and trauma alone is hard and I want you to feel good.

Do you want to discover about how to feel more secure in your sexuality, intimate relationships, and pleasure but not sure how to do this? Struggling with the above is a common experience for LGBTQ+ and poly/CNM folx and you don't have to navigate it alone. Together, we can support you in feeling more secure in your sexuality, intimate relationships, and pleasure.

I am a trained “Internal Family Systems” Therapist. I work with clients to discover more compassionate ways of thinking about themselves and to stop blaming themselves or others. Awareness, compassion for self and other, and support are the keys to facilitate these changes. Learn to be more Proactive rather then Reactive.

As you are the expert on your life, our work together will helping you to trust your inner wisdom, increase your coping skills, heal from past trauma(s) and feel empowered through the ups and downs that life brings.

I work with children, adolescents, families, and young adults on a range of issues, including depression, anxiety, behavioral problems, child sexual abuse, trauma related issues, issues related to adulting, divorce and adoption, as well as transitional challenges. I have been practicing since 1992, although I took some time off to raise our four children. I utilize play therapy techniques when working with children, as play is a powerful and therapeutic language for children. Generally, I approach treatment with sincerity, compassion and even humor to promote growth in a synergetic, trusting manner.

As a male therapist I specialize in working with men and the challenges we face in today's complex world. I personally bring a combination of military, corporate and counseling experience into my work that allows me to relate to men in a way that is hard to find in other settings in life.

Relationship habits with our intimate partners can create familiarity and easefulness—they can also inhibit a fresh and fulfilling way of being together. When relationship shortcuts create disconnection or even hurtful interactions, we feel misunderstood and not seen for our true hopes and intentions. I support you to slow down and connect in the present moment where the power resides to develop a whole-body intimacy with a partner. It is in the here and now where you can reawaken the creativity and integrity of your connection.

Greetings and thanks for exploring my counseling practice. While the majority of my clients are between the ages of 5 and 15, I also work with older kids and adults on their own issues, parenting practices, stress and anxiety management, and more. Whether you are looking for an empathic ear or concrete coping strategies for yourself or your child, I use a strength-based and person-centered approach to psychotherapy. Please note that I do not accept any insurance payments, but instead accept cash, checks or digital currency (Venmo, e.g.).

My mission is to help teens, young adults, and families discover the wisdom within to succeed, thrive, and grow. Through mindfulness- and emotionally focused approaches, I provide a safe, non-judgmental space where connection and self-knowing lead to well-being, growth, and authentic expression.

Clients come to me when they recognize the negativity in their lives that is caused by how they think, feel and act with money. Many of my clients are dealing with stress and anxiety over issues like saving for retirement, managing student loans, or sticking to a budget. This is often coupled with spending that feels compulsive and out of sync with their values. In general, my clients have experienced a long and stressful relationship with money. This often has its roots in the messages they received about money starting at a young age. They look to me realign their relationship with money in a way that builds a positive future.

Adolescence and early adulthood holds a special place in my heart, because it is such ripe ground for discovery, yet many young people get stuck along the journey. I have worked with young people for over 10 years, who have struggled with social-anxiety and shyness, addiction, anxiety and panic attacks, depression, grief and loss issues, trauma, school issues, and complex family issues. While all of these can be horrific for the individual and families involved, the underlying resiliency present in each of these young people and families is the foundation that we build from in the healing process.
