Therapists in Colorado

Imagine if you had the confidence to show up as your authentic self. Or if your teenage daughter could overcome insecurity to be the person she genuinely wants to be. Maybe you are fed up with questioning who you are and wondering how to embody the multiple identities and roles you align with. You have been taught to stifle your confidence, take up less space, and conform to the values and behaviors of everyone around you. You’re ready to unpack and overcome these challenges. You want to set attainable goals for yourself. Most of all you are ready to reconnect with who you are.

I feel passionately about working with the range of human experience. In working with children I feel that parent involvement is crucial for the success of therapy. I'm aware that parenting is extremely difficult and I aspire to support parents in that. I enjoy working with parents who are open to working on the way that their own struggles impact their ability to parent compassionately and effectively. Many of the teens and adults I work with are looking to heal from developmental trauma. Symptoms which stem from childhood trauma can present in numerous ways such as: depression, anxiety, relational difficulties, etc.

I have been passionate about psychology and helping others for as long as I can remember. One of my early passions became to destigmatize mental health care. Mental health is just as important as physical health. I work with a variety of individuals working to live happier and healthier lives by overcoming many different issues, such as anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship conflicts, and more. Through my own personal experience, I know beginning the therapy journey can feel a bit daunting, however I am here to help create a safe and collaborative space where you are comfortable.

We are both wounded and healed in relationship. Taking the step to enter into counseling takes great courage and I'm honored you would consider taking this journey with me!

Do you ever feel like you struggle to grasp or maintain control of your life? Or do all your relationships feel the same and lack the substance you’re looking for? Or maybe you struggle to connect to your feelings and express them in healthy ways. Sometimes when we grow up around chaos, chaos feels more comfortable than stillness, leading to a life of self-sabotaging and negative behaviors. I believe that intentions matter and I believe that everyone is worthy of healing and a life that is fulfilling. If any of these issues are struggles that you can relate to, then I encourage you to start your journey of intentional healing today.

Our patterns paint the picture of our everyday experience. I believe in the importance of slowing down and observing these patterns with acceptance and curiosity (exploring mind, body, and spirit) in order to shift the way we interact with different aspects of our lives. As we slow down and re-evaluate our own truth, the models of the world we have subscribed to begin to shift as does our ability to be open to new and different possibilities.

I enjoy helping people feel unstuck, people who struggle with embodying what their head tells them, those that feel traditional talk therapy isn't getting them to their goals, and people who want to understand themselves on a deeper level. My approach focuses on the roots of symptoms that can help with C-PTSD, trauma symptoms, self esteem, anxiety, depression, ADHD, fears/phobias, grief/loss, and other symptoms that may be rooted in stressful events.

Psychotherapy is much more than the removal of symptoms. I help individuals embrace their lives! I work with adults whose lives have been impacted by trauma. I also specialize in working with "seniors" experiencing the changes and challenges that often occur in later life. Finally, with four and a half decades in the mental health field, along with years of advanced education, I have gained an understanding of the unique challenges faced by individuals who experience issues relating to gender and substance abuse.

Life can be challenging. Sometimes we have difficulty making sense of our experiences, whether it’s something painful that has happened to us, an unhelpful coping style we are struggling to change, or thoughts we’ve internalized that keep us down. My passion is to help you gain awareness within yourself, to identify and understand your emotions and beliefs, so that you can start making changes that count. I will empower you to navigate through anxiety, sadness, challenging relationships, and traumatic experiences so that you can create a life that is meaningful and in line with your values.

My goal in therapy is to help you know your value, and feel empowered to make the life you want. We can all feel tied down by old stories that no longer serve us. My role is to come along side you and help use the natural ways our body regulates, and mind communicates to help you find the truth in your story. Whether you are suffering the loss of someone you love, going through a major change in your life, desiring to be heard in your relationship or any of the other struggles that make us human, I would be honored to be a part of your journey.

Hi, I am Carly! I have experience working with both individuals and couples. I particularly love working with couples as I put an emphasis on relationships and the importance they have in our life. I believe in the power of connection with others and that working together creates the best outcome in therapy and in life. I most often work from a solution focused perspective, but also pull from a positive psychology lens. I prefer a strength based approach that is going to help move you forward toward your life goals.

I provide quality short- or long-term psychotherapy for adolescents and adults. My primary emphasis is on the individual in the context of their relationships with others. I strive to create an atmosphere of trust wherein you are free to explore your inner and outer world and pursue your desired goals. I value your inherent worth and unique life experiences and work from a stance of respect, non-judgment, and empathy. With a focus on client strengths and empowerment, I seek to help you experience healing and growth in your emotional, spiritual, and/or relational lives.

Life inevitably involves struggle, pain, and loss. The question is how do we respond to these things so that pain doesn't morph into long-term suffering, and so that meaning, joy, and connection can still be found, even amidst our struggles. That's where I can help. The foundation of my work is building a collaborative and compassionate therapeutic relationship where you feel understood. From there we can begin to craft effective responses to whatever is troubling you: depression, anxiety, trauma, relationships, loss, chronic pain, or more existential concerns about life direction and meaning.

Do you feel disconnected from yourself and those you love? Do you have dreams you want to pursue, but feel lost or unmotivated? Do you seek to build deeper, more meaningful relationships? I want to help you find connection and healing in your life and relationships.

Do you feel on edge or weighed down by anxiety, depression, or past events? Do you feel like there is more to life but are unsure how to reach your goals? Do you want to connect to yourself and others in a deeper way? We all go through difficult times when the best way forward seems unclear or unreachable. I work with adults who want a space to work through the effects of trauma, anxiety, depression and find ways to feel like themselves again.
