As a licensed professional counselor and addictions counselor, I am able to address both mental health and addiction issues in a comprehensive manner. I also am able to offer EMDR for the relief of pain due to trauma. I incorporate mind, body and spirit into the work with clients to assist in the healing of all aspects of the individual. I respect that initiating therapy is a difficult step to take. Sharing the personal details of your life with someone you just meet, can be overwhelming and feelings of uncertaining may be present. I offer a free initial 1/2 hour consultation. This allows clients to meet me and see if I am a good for them. Finding the right therapist should not be an expensive venture. I am compassionate and understanding, I am not here to judge, I am here to help. I can utilize my training in family and play therapy to enhance the process for both children and adults. Each client is unique and requires a individualized approach and plan to best suite their spicific needs. My goal is to have each and every client leave with a sense of relief and satisfaction. .

Is your child overwhelmed, anxious, or acting out—and you're not sure how to help? Maybe you’ve tried everything—talking, consequences, ignoring it—but the meltdowns keep happening, the shutdowns linger longer, or school has become a daily struggle. Whether it’s your child navigating big emotions or your teen feeling stuck, isolated, or burnt out, therapy can give them the tools to deal with it. I offer art therapy and counseling to help children and teens express what words can’t. Through creative and evidence-based approaches, I support kids with anxiety, ADHD, autism, and behavioral challenges—while partnering with parents to build connection and lasting change. If you’re ready for therapy that’s creative, collaborative, and developmentally attuned, I’d love to meet you and your child or teen. You don’t have to do this alone.

Welcome to Soulfire "Art can permeate the very deepest part of us, where no words exist." — Eileen Miller Why Art Therapy? Art therapy allows one to delve beneath the chattering mind and unconscious patterns that are limiting to relationships, self-esteem and health. With the help of a trained art therapist, one can deal with painful emotions, trauma, addiction or patterns that have limited them, in turn, creating a vision for healing these wounds. At the Soulfire studio there are many art materials to choose from and art technique support and direction to allow these images to take form. Who is it for? Art Therapy is for everyone! Anyone can create as it is an innate part of all of us. As adults, we are taught that creative expression is frivolous unless we can create museum quality art. Not a fact. Art Therapy can help treat addiction, anxiety, depression, bipolar, relationship issues, medical issues, grief/loss, and any other problems that are in need of deeper examination or attention. The actual act of creation is healing in itself.

Welcome! I offer counseling services in the Fort Collins- Loveland, Colorado area. An integrative perspective, utilizing a blend of both eastern and western philosophy/modalities, guides my work. Using Art Therapy with Mindfulness and Body-Centered practices (Somatic Experiencing, Advanced EMDR III, Resource Tapping) along with Guided Imagery, Nature-Inspired practices and traditional talk therapy allows clients to engage on all levels, body, mind and spirit. Equine Assisted Psychotherapy can also serve a client well depending on their needs. My approach is warm, gentle, and compassionate, as well as informative, direct, and practical. I work with each person as an individual creating a therapeutic environment that is unique to that person's needs. My clients report that our work together allows them to connect more deeply to themselves and others, to communicate their thoughts and feelings more effectively and clearly with others, to find more stability and joy in their lives through the reduction of negative effects, such as acute and chronic anxiety and depression, and to experience greater self-worth and self-confidence. If in reading this profile you feel attracted to or are further curious about the work that I do, I welcome your inquiries. Please feel free to call for a complementary phone consultation.

Welcome. I work with individuals, couples, and groups to help people move forward from what keeps them stuck. I specialize in working with people who have tried other forms of therapy and believe that therapy doesn't work. Through mindfulness based body-centered self exploration, you are able to quickly see yourself more deeply and learn more about your automatic behaviors and thoughts which keep you limited in your expression of life. Through the exploration of yourself and your relationships through awareness, honesty, integrity, and vulnerability you can transform and move past your limiting patterns and beliefs. I offer sessions both indoors and outside in local natural areas to help you start moving forward from the start. I invite you to contact me today for a free 30 minute consultation over the phone, in person, or via skype to learn more about how I can help.

I offer Mindfulness-based Online Therapy via personal Skype sessions for the treatment of anxiety, depression, emotional stress, addictions and other forms of emotional suffering. Online Mindfulness Therapy is particularly effective for anxiety disorders, including Generalized Anxiety Disorder, social anxiety, panic attacks, agoraphobia and depression. Mindfulness Therapy is also very effective for managing traumatic experiences including emotional trauma and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). This online therapy service allows you to talk to a therapist online in real-time, but from the comfort of your own home or office and at a time that is convenient for you. Many of my clients live abroad or in rural areas where it may be difficult to find a psychotherapist to work with. All you need is Skype and PayPal and a quiet place for your online therapy sessions. Mindfulness Therapy is very focused on changing the underlying process that produces anxiety, depression and stress. Clients learn how to stop negative habitual reactive thinking, which is the first phase of Mindfulness Therapy. The second phase involves resolving the underlying emotions through the transformational effects of mindfulness. Most people see dramatic improvement within 3-4 sessions of online mindfulness therapy. In general. this approach is far more cost-effective and produces results in far shorter time than older styles of "talking therapy" where the client simply talks about their emotions. this is obviously an important part of psychotherapy and counseling, but not enough to transform the underlying reactive processes that produce the anxiety, depression or addiction. In order to produce lasting change you must learn how to form a non-reactive relationship with your emotions or traumatic memories based on mindfulness. Mindfulness is defined as the combination of intentional conscious awareness with compassion. This latter quality is immensely important for healing emotional suffering and that is why we emphasize making friends with your emotional pain. This is an art and mindfulness therapy teaches you exactly how to do this. If you would like to schedule an online therapy session and you would like to talk to a therapist online via Skype you are very welcome to contact me to discuss if this is a good approach for you. Therapy sessions are usually 60-90 mins. Talk to a therapist online via Skype for effective help with anxiety and depression.

Hello, my name is Bill Wilder. I am passionate about helping men find internal transformation through fostering a respectful and loving way of relating to their problems. If you are ready to be inspired, encouraged, challenged and supported as you learn to stop reliving the same life script and begin reaching your goals and greatness. You will learn tangible skills to relate to yourself in a loving, balanced, and respectful manner. I have been extensively trained in the Internal Family Systems model which is one of the most innovative modalities for healing and bringing substantial changes to your internal world. As you begin to find internal confidence, you can begin to manifest those traits in all aspects of your life: socially, personally, and in the business world. I offer both individual Counseling/Consultation, 3 month group experiences and weekend workshops on various topics. The Wilder Experience is not for everyone but it might be for you if: You are ready to explore and identify what is longing to be released in your internal world so you can advance to the next level in your growth and development. You are seeking growth and healing alone and are ready to go on a journey of personal growth either individually or in a transformative group experience.

Are you needing a reliable, safe to resolution of your current suffering? Current understanding of brain science is clear: talking about your problem is not enough to resolve it because of how trauma protects itself and re-focusing on it over and over only makes it worse. Dr. Bessell van der Kolk of the Trauma Center in Boston, a key figure in the trauma resolution world now uses neurofeedback because he realizes that it directly helps the brain re=-set itself after trauma.This is the age of the complex, adaptive brain... We discovered about 15 years ago that our brains do not work the way we had been told. Our brains (or Central Nervous Systems {CNS} to be more precise) don't stop developing at around 18 years of age as we had believed for a couple of centuries. Our CNS is completely adaptable throughout our lifespan. This is great news for anyone who has had to live with the limitation imposed by a condition like OCD, depression, anxiety, poor focus, ADD/ADHD, stage fright, social interaction fears and on and on. All these conditions are the symptoms of a CNS that is overwhelmed and not functioning as it is meant to. Our CNS is so adaptable and resilient that IT is able to can change how it behaves, or mature, based on its own experience! So now we can listen to how the brain is behaving moment to moment and any time the brain (CNS) is misbehaving by using too much energy to accomplish its survival tasks, we can give it feedback in its own language that is just malfunctioned (using too much energy to deal with whatever is happening) and it takes that information and shifts to a more effiicient mode of behavior. And by training your CNS to do this over and over, you are calmer, more present, and able to deal with stressful situations that would have made you upset and lose energy. This approach is called NeurOPTIMAL® Neurofeedback and with more than 5 millions hours of client training, has proven that it is the safest, non-invasive, most effective approach to brain training available today.

Hello! Welcome to Balance Counseling, LLC. I am Kara McArtor, MA, NCC and I am the owner and sole operator of Balance Counseling, LLC. I offer both couples and individual counseling as well as counseling specific to substance abuse and dependence. Why "Balance"? Balance Counseling, LLC was named for a common challenge I have observed so many individuals and couples struggling with: Balance. Merriam-Webster dictionary offers the following definitions for the word 'balance': "mental and emotional steadiness," "an aesthetically pleasing integration of elements," and "stability produced by even distribution of weight on each side." Do you feel steady, pleased, stable, and as if each area of your life is balanced with the others? In your relationship, are your needs balanced with your partners? Do you know what these needs are? These are great questions to explore with me in counseling.

I am a creative therapist. With a Bachelor of Fine Arts in painting, and a Master's degree in Social Work, I often find myself bringing that creativity into my practice. I believe that each client's needs are unique, and I tailor my skills to your needs. I have had a broad range of clinical experience, specializing in cognitive behavioral, motivational interviewing, and EMDR therapy. I believe that my past experience with residential, day and outpatient treatment, managed classrooms and educational settings has given me a large arsenal of skills and abilities. Also, experience with multiple and varied populations has heightened my ability to see the underlying issues and assist my client's in recognizing and altering their current behavior to reach their goals. I was trained in EMDR at the beginning of 2009, and am now a certified with EMDRIA. I have had significant success with issues such as communication skills, anxiety and stress reduction, depression management and reduction, release of past traumatic memories (ie. abuse, serious accidents, witnessing horrific events, etc), relationship issues, parenting skills, behavior management, and grief and loss.

I am a licensed therapist with experience both in private practice and community mental health . I have had the opportunity to help my clients overcome many behavioral and emotional issues including grief, ADD/ADHD, anxiety, depression and trauma resulting from childhood or later life experience. I believe that we are all capable of finding our true value thru increased awareness and understanding of our internal life experience. My practice is based on the premise that we all have struggles and everyone has an ability to heal. My role is to assist the person in learning about their personal power and using it to create a life that is meaningful to them. I do this in a compassionate, insightful , and straightforward manner. Creating a safe space for my clients in which to heal is of primary concern. I draw from a variety of tools and orientations to therapy including EMDR, ReDecision therapy, DBT,and MIndfulness approaches. .I believe that therapy tools need to fit the individual, couple or family. I utilize well researched interventions that have been proven effective. I work with individuals, couples, families and also offer DBT groups. In addition, I offer a free in person consultation.

Helping people reduce symptoms of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder and other anxiety problems. I meet with people for office appointments, and also in their homes and communities as needed for effective treatment. Treatment for OCD works; most people gain some relief from their symptoms. Please contact me if you have questions for yourself or someone you know.

Seeking counseling can be a difficult first step. It can be difficult for us to acknowledge our pain, and often we feel guilty about it. Feelings are not good or bad, they just are—the consequences of those feelings are what we can influence. Counseling is important because it can provide a safe place to speak the truth about what we are going through. Our truth is powerful and can be a motivator for making changes to how we feel and what we do. Counseling can help us identify our values, goals, and beliefs and to harness them to help us heal. Only you know what hurts, what brings you joy, and what changes you want to make. I can collaborate with you as you connect with your truth. I believe that knowing our truth liberates and empowers us. Change is a journey and it is often hard to make alone. I would be honored to accompany you for this part of your journey. I work with clients who are struggling with substance abuse, addiction, anxiety, depression, and anger. I also work with clients who have criminal charges and criminal convictions, usually related to drugs or alcohol. I have special training in working with clients who have diverse cultural, spiritual, race, class, gender, and sexual identities.

It can be challenging to address our mental health, especially when society, our families, and our culture tell us it's taboo. I specialize in working with adults and teens in the Denver area from various cultures, backgrounds, sexualities, and gender identities who experience stress, trauma, and life adjustments. I work with individuals who are challenged with anxiety, relationship concerns, and substance use, and those in need of school and career counseling. I also work with individuals who struggle with women's issues including postpartum anxiety and depression, and infertility. I find that a combination of narrative therapeutic techniques and cognitive behavioral therapy provides individuals with the self-esteem, confidence, and ownership to approach life's challenges.

When we understand ourselves and our desires, we access our power. I help you learn what you want, and clear the obstacles out of your way. When the unconscious dictates our thoughts and behaviors, we are adrift in its hidden urges, fears, and conditioning. Getting to know ourselves brings these mysterious workings into the light, so that we can choose what we do with them. If you're feeling lost at sea, I can help you find your boat and compass. Once you're back at the helm, riding out the waves can be exhilarating! Gender and Sexual Expansion I know that in navigating the world as a queer person, it can be challenging to find the right fit in a therapist. Whether you identify as non-binary, trans, genderfluid or anywhere on the spectrum of non-heteronormativity, it's critical to talk with someone who gets it. When it's time to further explore a facet of your identity, sexuality or relationship, you can feel safe expressing yourself with me as you are without your therapist assigning your struggles to your lifestyle or identity. I counsel sex workers, individuals in polyamorous or other consensual non-monogamous relationships, and participants in kink or BDSM lifestyles. When you walk into my office, you can rest assured that you will be met with compassion and non-judgement.

If you are trying to change an important relationship or a situation in your life, I can help you. My passion is in helping folks get unstuck from chronic stress, depression, and relationship difficulties. I'm down-to-Earth and very collaborative. People who work with me say that they appreciate knowing that we have a clear path to their goals that they are very involved in. It's difficult to think about actually going to therapy, so I would be honored to help you figure out what you need the most from counseling. I help with: Depression, anxiety, chronic stress and anger, addiction. Families & couples: family conflict, difficult communication, chronic fighting Parenting: Parent/child relationships, child behaviors, arguing, tantrums, school difficulties, lying, delinquency, teen substance use. I offer a free 30-minute consultation and a wide range of choices for therapy to suit your needs. Choose from in-office, home-based, phone, and email sessions to customize and make the most of your experience. I do a 70-minute therapy hour with competitive rates.

If you are sitting on the fence trying to figure out what to do in life you may be feeling paralyzed. You can get out of this painful paralysis by connecting to your internal compass. If you wait until you feel better or more confident you might end up waiting a lifetime before taking action. I ask you, "Who's driving your bus?" I can help you get back into the driver's seat of your life and get moving in the direction of your heart's desire. When we’re in these situations, our mind easily goes into overdrive, desperately trying to figure out what to do to ‘make the right decision’. The problem is, it can take days, weeks, months - or even years in some cases, such as unhappy marriages or fulfilling jobs – before we finally choose one option over the other. And, in the meantime, we can easily spend our days wandering around in a thick psychological fog – endlessly pondering ‘Do I or don’t I?’ – And, in the process, we make ourselves anxious or stressed, and we miss out on life right here and now. I specialize in helping people whose lives have been touched by catastrophic acts of violence and are ready to create a life beyond loss and trauma. Even if your life has not been touched by violence those little traumas you have endured can add up to a cumulative damage which can be easily resolved so you can focus on a direction of your choice.

Life's challenges come in many forms and can feel overwhelming. Whether you are coping with the death of a loved one, pet loss, divorce or separation, job loss, illness or disability, infertility, stressful care giver trials or other challenges life throws in your path, you may experience difficult feelings of sadness, depression, anxiety, discouragement, loneliness, hopelessness or fear.

Danielle Carron is a Licensed Professional Counselor who works as an integrative practitioner combining Contemplative Psychotherapy, Mindfulness and Awareness, Somatic Experiencing ® / Trauma Healing, Functional Neurology, Play Therapy and Holistic Nutrition to help support her clients in their individual journey of transformation, growth and optimal health. She works with children and adults and believes in treating each individual holistically. Danielle Carron is the founder of Integrative Psychotherapy and Nutrition Counseling. Her philosophy is integrative, meaning that she believes the discomfort or symptoms causing people to seek therapy may not be just in their mind, but can arise from their body, physiology, biochemistry, spirit, soul, and/or nutrition. Danielle is trained to recognize and test for the various reasons why people develop such symptoms as PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder), depression, anxiety, sleep difficulties, hypervigilance, ADD, ADHD, addictions, eating disorders, and/or attachment challenges. Her approach is to help people find and address the cause of their suffering rather than to treat the symptoms themselves. Danielle utilizes effective natural approaches to healing that support the body’s own ability to bring about balance and health. Her intention is to educate and assist people in reclaiming their heath, well being, and independence.

I believe in a holistic approach to mental health. This philosophy focuses on moving towards core values and learning to recognize behaviors that prevent us from seeking those values. I practice Acceptance and Commitment Therapy techniques, which use acceptance and mindfulness strategies together with commitment and behavior change strategies to increase psychological flexibility. We can use Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy to manage issues like anxiety, depression, and stress. Interpersonal psychotherapy and insight-oriented therapy are other treatment modalities that are helpful when dealing with social skills challenges. I also offer Walk & Talk Therapy. This style of therapy has been around for several years, and it is a big contrast to sitting on a couch talking about problems. More evidence is pointing to the connection between the mind and body. Because movement improves our physical health and mental clarity, this type of therapy is very effective for those people who feel stuck.

Your relationship with food is an exact mirror of your feelings about love, anger, fear, meaning transformation and yes, even God.”

Tapping, which is also known as EFT or Emotional Freedom Techniques, is an extremely powerful mind-body technique that can help you rewire your energy system, reprogram your subconscious beliefs, clear your resistances to achieving your goals, and remove your old programming that is keeping you stuck. The benefits of Tapping include: reducing your stress, worries, procrastination, cravings, unhappiness, insecurities/self-doubt, unwanted feelings, and other self-sabotaging beliefs and behaviors. By identifying and removing your emotional blocks and disempowering beliefs in both your conscious mind and your subconscious mind you are able to change your inner reality which can then change your outer reality.

Even in times like these, while anxiety is contagious, so is genuine connection and compassion. If you are struggling with stress, anxiety, PTSD, depression or spiritual growth--I would love the opportunity to talk to you about what a better tomorrow would look like. I use clinically-minded, cognitive behavioral tools to help implement positive change for deeper personal fulfillment, presence authenticity and joy by creating a therapeutic space that is non-judgmental, safe and adaptable to what you need. I use person-centered practices and can implement meditation, poetry, walking therapy and art therapy in session as well. I offer traditional talk and tele-therapy with practices based in: CBT, ACT, person-centered and mindfulness. I use research-based methods to provide treatment based in effectively proven methods. I use positive psychology throughout session and am happy to refer you to resources that help outside of session, whether that's a book, meditation, yoga, etc. Creating a compassionate, safe and non-judgmental space for personal growth and fulfillment is of utmost importance in my practice. I sometimes incorporate meditation, art therapy and mindfulness techniques in session (if you feel these techniques would be a good fit for you) to address anxiety, trauma and difficulties coping with major life transitions.

All of my clients--whether individuals or couples--share one commom theme in their experience: they feel stuck and wish not to be. They feel stuck in how they have always addressed the same problem and feel hopeless about things changing for the better. It may be a perpetual, limiting, yet hard to identify thought pattern that feeds upon the feelings and actions it generates. It may simply be a bad habit that no one has thought to challenge or dared to question. The stuckness may stem from a long standing circumstances in your past that you have never felt completely free from. Or it may be something completely new that has you overwhelmed. Whatever the case may be for you, I invite you to contact me to see if I might be a good fit to help you get unstuck.

Do you suspect that you or a family member may have Autism or Aspergers? Has the diagnosis been confirmed, but you need help dealing with social, emotional or behavioral issues? I offer diagnostic evaluations for children, adolescents and adults suspected of having Autism or Aspergers (evaluations include the ADOS and ADI-R). In therapy, we address emotion and behavior management, social and daily living skills, and life transitions. Clients build social, empathy, perspective taking, communication and problem solving skills. I have enjoyed working with individuals with ASD and their families for over 20 years. I use a variety of intervention strategies including TEACCH, Social Stories, Comic Strip Conversations, PECS, role play, and social autopsies. Caregivers receive support and assistance for dealing with behavior problems and developing strengths. My experiences with people with ASD and their families have been in residential facilities, schools, home-based therapy and traditional office-based therapy. I have published in the field of autism and enjoy public speaking about Autism and Asperger's related topics.

Hi my name is Mark Miller, CEO and lead therapist At Your Convenience Mental Health and Relationship Counseling of Denver (AYCMARC). I designed AYCMARC is for busy and nocturnal people. We are open when everyone else is closed. AT AYCMARC we believe that Your day off is your day off and should be used for fun, Not Therapy! At AYCMARC you can receive quality mental health counseling, addiction counseling, career counseling, and relationship counseling and/or mental health assessment, career assessment, and psycho-neurological assessment at your convenience. At AYCMARC we know that life happens when most mental health, addiction, career, relationship counseling, and assessment practices are.open. We Also understand you cannot leave early without risking your job. Until now your only option was to race to the counseling center after work so you are not over 15 minutes late and turned away because of your tardiness, but are still expected to pay for the session. The last choice is not receiving the help you or family needs. This may be fine for some people, but what if you court ordered? What if you cannot handle or cope with your issues without professional help. At AYCMARC we believe that you should not have to suffer because of inconvenient mental health, addiction, assessment, career, and relationship counseling practice hours. AYCMARC recognizes that you are busy after work taking the kids here or there, trying to get supper ready and other chores. At AYCMARC we know how hard it is for you to squeeze counseling in the mist of all this. This is one of the reasons why we are open late; for the busy person and family who wants to heal or strive for wellness. AYCMARC also realizes that some people work late at night, your nights are days and days are nights. Research on sleep is clear there needs to be consistency with a sleep schedule. Inconstancy of sleep hour can cause insomnia. It is no wonder why you have sleeping problems because most mental health, addiction, and relationship counseling practices are making you get up in the middle of your night on your day off.
