Female Therapists in Wheat Ridge, CO

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.

You don’t feel like yourself, you don’t recognize your relationship anymore and you’re not sure what will make you feel like you. It sucks. It’s lonely. While you normally have the answers, you don’t this time. You just know that you want to feel close to your partner, again. You want to feel happy and peaceful. No more crying in the shower or fights without resolve. Together, we will sort out your values, emotions, needs and goals. Ultimately, we will create a space where you feel validated, rested and confident. I've been working with individuals & couples since 2015. In addition to regular sessions, I offer couples intensives.

Hello! Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. Give yourself credit for even taking the time to consider trying something new. I am here to support you in that process and I’m confident you can make positive changes in your life. I strive to create an open, safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Many people have negative, judgemental self-talk that hinders their ability to be their authentic, confident best self.

My therapeutic approach centers on the holistic well-being of individuals, with a particular focus on working with female clients. My aim is to facilitate, through a strengths-based approach, your therapeutic journey towards enhanced well-being and deeper insight into your thoughts and behaviors (as well as understanding the roots of our cognitive and behavioral patterns). While my therapeutic toolbox encompasses solutions-focused, psychodynamic, and mindfulness techniques, I customize therapy sessions to suit each individual, allowing for flexibility beyond these established frameworks. I'm licensed in CO, TX, MT, and WY.

I provide a therapeutic space where your healing journey is not just a possibility, but a reality. As a Certified EMDR therapist, my focus is on providing therapy for folks who reside in Arizona, California, Colorado, and Florida to navigate the complexities of anxiety and trauma rooted in aspects such as parenting dynamics, family history, and work-related burnout and stress. My approach to therapy diverges from conventional talk therapy methods. EMDR emphasizes the interconnectedness of mind and body. Additionally, I integrate "parts work" into my practice and draw from an Internal Family Systems (IFS) informed lens.

Feeling stuck? Defeated? Unmotivated? You're not alone, and help is here. In my practice I specialize in working with those struggling with life transitions (school, relationships, breakups, a big move, a career change), addiction, anxiety, and codependency. Not only do I work with individuals with these concerns, but also all who are impacted by the effects of these issues such as partners, parents, siblings, children, and friends. If you or someone you love is struggling with a major life event, mental health and/or substance abuse issues, you may feel that there is no hope. Healing is available to you and I would love to help.

Are you feeling shrouded in shame and confusion about your sexual desires or identity? Do activities that once brought feelings of closeness and pleasure now bring up loneliness and uncertainty? Sexual issues are completely normal, and you nor your partner are broken. My goal is to help you move towards feeling self-empowered and comfortable in your own skin. Sex and sexual identity are very personal topics that can feel embarrassing or isolating to speak to someone about - everyone is deserving of happiness and inner peace, and I am committed to helping you find your voice so you can advocate for your needs and desires.

How can I help? Are you hoping for: feeling better than you do right now, inner peace, emotional healing, an improved outlook, a new paradigm, feeling listened to and a better understanding of yourself and/or others? I come to the therapeutic space with 20+ years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults, couples and families. I trust the therapeutic process will benefit anyone with an open mind and heart and willingness to try.

Through support and encouragement, everyone can have the ability to create positive change and find a balance in their lives. A strength-based approach can allow for the opportunity to identify successes, reestablish healthy patterns and learn new ways to deal with everyday life. I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment for clients from all backgrounds to share and process whatever brings them to the counseling space. I operate using an integrative approach to counseling, meaning I utilize different techniques based on what works best for you. Together, we can create goals that you or your child hope to achieve.

Life is like a river, rapid and perplexed as it streams us into a direction. There may be times where we choose which way the river will bend, and other times where we become subject to its flow. In this chaos, finding our way home to ourselves becomes the journey. If you are reading this today, that tells me there is something in your life worth recognizing, acknowledging, expanding, or even evolving. In my experience, I have helped individuals recognize the root of their challenges, embrace empowerment, and redefine their journey. Patterns that intertwine us dissipate as we find our way home to ourselves.

If a major loss has left you overwhelmed, stuck, and unsure of the best path forward, I know how hard it can be to cope and get through day-to-day life. I offer a non-judgmental space to explore and feel through these life challenges, a place to reflect, and a place to slow down. I work with high-achieving and highly sensitive adults and couples who are struggling with the pain of grief, challenging life transitions, relationships, burnout, self-esteem, or confusion about what comes next in life. You’re not alone in feeling challenged by these very human experiences, and you deserve to navigate them with support all along the way.

—I am taking new clients— I love working with clients who are ready to address coping patterns in their life and how this prevents them from living courageously. As a holistic therapist, I will journey alongside you as we uncover the negative patterns and interaction cycles that have been holding you back from living as the most authentic version of yourself or that have been impacting your relationship. We will address how past wounds/trauma have created protective patterns that impact your wellbeing. By taking this first step of seeking change, you are on your journey of creating more lightness and fulfillment in your life.

Connection is one of the most powerful forms of healing. Whether you are feeling isolated, stressed, or overwhelmed in your life, healing often begins with sharing the burden with another person. You’ve taken the first and sometimes the hardest step towards starting therapy. I’m glad you’re here. I am a queer therapist and it is my greatest joy to work with my queer community. I work with people who hold intersecting identities and have experienced a wide range of concerns including trauma, PTSD, gender dysphoria, depression, anxiety, and mood disorders. I offer individual, relationship, and group therapy.

Are you looking for therapy that will teach you to better understand yourself as well as teach you effective treatment solutions to maintain your mental health? Reaching out for help is the first step and is truly a sign of resiliency. Many people seek therapy when they are needing to create a positive change in their quality of life. Some people are hoping to develop coping strategies to manage distress or relationship issues, or they seek to build a sense of personal worthiness. These are all examples of wonderful therapy goals and they are often successfully achieved using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Trauma-based CBT.

Experiencing fear, stress, anxiety, worry, panic, nervousness or difficulty sleeping. Feeling sad, hopeless, empty, irritable, worthlessness, or having difficulties making decisions. Having difficulties with transitions or changes in life. Desiring non-biased and value-neutral pre-marital relationship enrichment.

Welcome! My name is Katherine Longley. I'm excited to work with you to build resources, develop skills, and assist you in taking any necessary steps toward achieving your goals. I work with teens and adults, and my style is relational, holistic, empathetic, and collaborative; I believe that you are the expert of your experience. I enjoy working to understand where you're coming from so that we can explore your roadblocks in life together. I use a combination of approaches that will be catered to your individual needs. Give me a call, text, or email to see if we're a good fit!

My approach to therapy is rooted in the belief that who you are makes sense. Even when your emotions, behaviors, or relationships are extremely different than what you want them to be, I believe that our feelings carry wisdom, our behaviors serve a function, and our current situation becomes clear in the context of our whole story. With this stance of curiosity and acceptance, I can help you understand the parts of your life that are causing distress and move toward the life you want to be living. I am an ideal fit for clients who want to make a change in their behavior while understanding the way those behaviors have functioned.
