Therapists Beginning With J in Colorado

I specialize in helping people overcome complex and “difficult-to-treat” problems. Clients often come to therapy feeling "stuck" and wanting more freedom in their choices. I work with clients to help identify and bring light to the strategies that we often use to avoid our feelings and keep us locked in patterns we want to shift.

Are anxiety or panic attacks becoming too much for you to handle? Do you feel weighed down from your past or have trouble maintaining healthy relationships? If so, I am here to support you. I will help you manage anxieties, release trauma and reduce relationship stressors.

Are you looking for a therapist who will work with your unique, gifted, often quirky, needs and nurture you through your strengths? Are you or a child in your life struggling to cope with big feelings and changes? Have you or your child been diagnosed with, or show signs of, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Social Anxiety, feeling "different", or problems with self-confidence? Are you frustrated by how difficult it is to communicate your thoughts and feelings effectively with others? Or do you avoid your feelings for fear of being overwhelmed by them?

Thank you for viewing my profile. I have 3 graduate degrees, all in mental/behavioral health, licenses in Co. and CA., and I am comfortable in working with a vast array of issues. I have worked in several mental health settings throughout my career, including: community mental health, hospitals, dialysis centers and private practice. My theory basis is psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral, but I always work with the patient in their comfort level and style. I strongly feel that therapeutic success comes from my ability to help others help themselves. I look forward to potentially working with you. Dr. Jacks

I currently specialize in providing evidence-based and trauma-focused psychotherapy to adults, couples, and teenagers in order to strengthen resiliency, promote stability in the home, and improve family functioning. I have extensive experience working with adults and teens with depressive or anxiety issues, couples, behavioral issues, LGBT issues, and school-based issues. I work directly with individuals to ensure that even the most challenging or threatening behaviors can be managed.

I love helping people to overcome loss, remove barriers, learn more about themselves, and live fuller lives. You might be going through a painful loss or a major transition. You may have recently experienced a terrible trauma, or you have decided to finally address long-standing painful childhood experiences. You may be trying to decide if you can fix your relationship, or if it's time to leave. There are any number of reasons why people seek the help of a mental health professional. But it is often one of the most important journeys a person can undertake.

Are you or your teen struggling with difficult emotions or self-defeating behaviors? I can help. I offer mindfulness-based counseling and trauma therapy for adults and teens, both online and at my office in South Boulder. These approaches have proven to be effective at increasing self-awareness and self-acceptance, and creating lasting changes in my clients’ lives. If you’re ready to commit to such a process, then I will be right there with you, offering support and insight at each step along the way.

I am passionate about championing my clients regardless of the reason that counseling is being sought out. I feel honored to be allowed into your story, to provide a listening ear & a supportive environment for emotional growth & healing. I enjoy working with individuals desiring to change their lives or their outlook on life. I am also committed to helping couples improve their communication, connection, & intimacy, and believe that building a strong marital relationship is the foundation for life & family. I desire to support, encourage, & challenge my clients as they move towards their goals.

Racial trauma, adjusting to Covid-19, school stress, work life balance, self-esteem, and relationships, among other issues are difficult to deal with. Let's work through them together. Your emotions are normal, it is the way you express and cope with them that is important. I want to support you with your goals of feeling more confident in yourself, feeling more fulfilled in your typical activities, or feeling more understood. You deserve a safe space to process, heal, and grow. (I am offering interventions based on Theraplay principles).

My belief is that while humans are innately relational beings, relationships are really hard! I help adults and couples create (and stick to!) their boundaries with friends, family, co-workers, and partner(s), grow communication skills, develop emotional understanding & expression, heal from current or past relational trauma, and navigate relational transitions such as separation, welcoming a child, and getting through Thanksgiving dinner!

Life can be challenging at times, and during those moments, we may find ourselves unsure of what to do or how to navigate through it. Developing a sense of connection within our relationships is essential for fostering creativity, reducing stress, anxiety, depression, and building resilience. I recognize that every person's experience is unique and I value your experiences, feelings, beliefs, environment, and relationships. While I can offer knowledge about mental health, I am not an expert on your life. That's why I prioritize establishing a strong relationship with you from our initial interaction.

Hi, my name is Jennifer, and I would love to offer you a safe, compassionate space to work through challenges in two of your most important relationships – with your partner and with yourself. Maybe you and your partner often butt heads because you see things so differently. Or perhaps the two of you have drifted apart, seem to be living parallel lives, and are not sure how to find your way back to each other. Or maybe you find yourself bumping up against old wounds, disempowering narratives, anxiety or other stress related patterns you are ready to be free of!

I have been practicing psychology very successfully for over 20 years. My story includes how I overcame my own struggles during a difficult divorce and the death of my father by using highly researched and validated techniques. As a result, I have mastered a clinically valid approach to overcoming life challenges. I believe my role is to serve as a facilitator to assist you in healing and realizing your true potential by developing the skill set to walk a uniquely determined path toward self-actualization.

If you’re looking for a therapist who won’t just nod their head and say, “Uh-huh”, or else ask, “How did that make you feel?”, then I’m the right fit for you! My approach is to listen, ask questions, and then work with you to come up with a plan for what you want to get out of our sessions together, and how I’m going to help you accomplish your goals. I believe in being caring and supportive when you’re hurting, challenging when you’re “coasting”, and “working myself out of a job” (i.e., when you’re satisfied with the progress you’ve made).

The weight of emotional pain can be unbearable and lonely. It is difficult, impossible even, to envision feeling better, feeling fulfilled, feeling connected or just feeling like yourself again. These emotions may result from substance use/abuse, depression, anxiety, grief, relationship problems, or life/work stressors. I understand how daunting this first step can be and I provide a safe, warm space to help you make your way through this and find your healthy path.

Do you feel like you want more in your relationship? More trust, more comfort, more growth, more laughter and intimacy? Are you unsure of bringing up topics or being vulnerable with your loved ones? Relationships are hard and messy, enjoyable and fun, sometimes one or the other, and sometimes all at the same time. Families repeat patterns they know, even if they cause distress. People get frustrated and hurt, lash out or shut down. It's painful and confusing. And it happens to all of us, it's part of being human. Would you like to unpack those patterns, dispel the confusion, build trust, and invite intimacy? You can get there!

Hi! My specialty is in trauma and complex trauma. What does that mean? Well, what trauma is to each person is different but there are levels that do take one to severe disruption in their daily lives. This disruption is where I want to help people discover how to define what it is, work to find a way to manage the chaos and emerge with a hope that life can be all that they desire. The person that struggles with this will understand what I am describing and be intrigued to meet with me to see if we are a therapy fit. This holds true in any of the many areas of therapy that I have listed as I have experience and passion to help.
