Therapists in Colorado

You feel stuck between being true to yourself and losing or disappointing those you love. You are tired of feeling invisible or alone. You feel anxious, might never have felt good enough, are burned out, and fear you won’t ever get to live a life you want to be living. You are tired of fitting into the box of who you are supposed to be and want to know, or be, who you really are. You long to feel more free, confident, secure, able to make decisions, and able to reach for your dreams or have a life you feel good in.

When you are alone you understand why you feel lonely. When you are in a relationship and you feel you are alone, that is different. Our need for relationships is hardwired into our biology. It goes against the grain for us to remain alone during our lifespan. However, relationships are tough. They require humbleness, honesty, and sacrifice. As a Certified Gottman Method Therapist, I am trained on the work of Drs. John & Julie Gottman and their over 5 decades of research on relationships.

I have an MA in Community Counseling from Adams State College, CO and 20+ years of experience in treating individuals, couples, and families. I work with adults, adolescents, children (starting age 6) and their families and/or caregivers. I can help you with depression, anxiety, acute/chronic trauma, mood disorders, relational problems like couples and/or family conflict, adjustment issues etc. I will meet you where you are at and assist you in reaching the goals that you find important to achieve. I believe every person has strengths and aim to help you uncover yours to enhance your well-being.

As humans we are deeply influenced by our external environment. In turn, we risk losing our individuality. If you know this to be true, you might feel as though you are living a life that someone/something else has designed for you & that you feel you should look, act, & be a certain way. You may begin to realize that who you think you are, isn’t who you truly are & that it's time to be you regardless of what anyone says. However, the resistance & fear of your mind shows up & you remain living life as is. But the path to healing doesn’t start with the mind, it starts with the body b/c emotions are stored in the body.

While most people come to therapy with a problem or struggle that needs immediate attention, we often find that unraveling the present challenge can lead us into deeper work, revealing underlying patterns or beliefs that limit us or cause us pain. I am here to support you in working through what you are facing today, as well as diving deep into that quieter layer of experience that pulls at your heart, mind, and body. Together we can attend to your thoughts, feelings, and beliefs, and develop your sense of self-trust and knowing. Above all, I aim to meet you where you are and shape my approach to your needs as each session unfolds.

Sometimes people hit a wall. Things that used to be satisfying, like career, relationships, or hobbies don't light them up the way they did when they were younger. All the sleepless nights worrying about "why?" just lead to a useless cycle. I help people, aged 25-85, who have "hit the wall" and are ready to find a healthy way through to the other side. My clients are sick to death of repeating the same unsatisfying patterns, but can't seem to stop or change. They feel stressed, ashamed, shut-down, or depressed and don't feel nearly enough love, joy, optimism, or creativity.

People seek therapy because they need to make changes in their lives. Whether feeling overwhelmed by current circumstances or unable to break away from old patterns and struggles, therapy offers clarity, hope, and the possibility of change. My experience and education have led me to believe that one of the most important aspects of psychotherapy is the client-therapist relationship: therapy is a relationship based treatment. My client-centered approach is built on a positive, mutually respectful relationship. My approach is individually tailored for each client, taking into account their past and their current situation.

Specializing in supporting adults through grief, bereavement, anxiety, depression, and life transitions, I offer you a warm welcome. You are invited to step into a compassionate space for healing. Amidst the range of emotions – from profound sadness to fleeting relief and moments of anxiety or depression – know you're not alone. If you are seeking support to find transformative healing and learn coping skills, know that with warmth and empathy, you and I will navigate these feelings together. Are you ready to unlock pathways to growth, renewal, resilience, and strength discovery?

Have you been hearing "you'll miss these moments one day, mama." "Enjoy every single second."? Me too! There is so much pressure associated with transitioning to parenthood and I'm here to help you navigate the big changes happening in your life. Whether you are contemplating starting a family, pregnant, postpartum, or beginning your parenting journey - rest assured, I'm here to support you. I provide services in Spanish as well.

Are you looking for a place to express concerns, heal wounds, change unhealthy patterns, gain insight, or find new effective ways to approach life? Are you wanting life to be different, but just not sure of the steps to take? I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Addiction Counselor, and I have an extensive background in treating Substance Abuse, Trauma, Depression, and Anxiety. Some of the treatment approaches I use include: EMDR, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Techniques.

My ideal client is one who is open to healing and a time of personal growth. I do not believe that a person who desires counseling is broken. My job is not to fix you, but to come alongside you in the process of your healing. Oftentimes, what we need most is a safe place. I can provide that. Feel free to call me. 30 Minute Meet & Greet is always free. I look forward to working with you! Licensed Professional Counselor, Open and Affirming. Remote or Face to Face.

If you are feeling dissatisfied in your relationships or if you are feeling stuck adjusting to changes, we will work together to find hope in your life and growth towards your goals. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I provide a safe and respectful space for you to freely share your thoughts and feelings. I seek to be trauma-informed and culturally responsive and welcome couples, families and individuals from all backgrounds and stages of healing. We will identify the strengths of your identity, personality and community to help you experience the solutions and changes you are seeking.

When someone comes to me for counseling, they can expect to find a warm, compassionate, and open person who accepts them, as they are, unconditionally. Whether I am talking to a young person or an adult, I am committed to providing the highest quality of counseling for my clients by empowering them to tap into their inner strength and potential. I can support you through a wide range of emotional and social concerns.

I have worked in multiple clinical settings with various populations. I appreciate working with clients who are navigating existential crises, those who are looking for a better understanding to the meaning of life. This experience can help clients identify and break negative or unhealthy patterns in their lives. I am a firm believer in the power of perception-shifting, in order to identify a silver lining in even the most difficult situations. My therapeutic approach is dynamic and eclectic. My goal with all of my clients is to walk beside them through their struggles and help them come through their struggles feeling stronger.

Dr. Grady-Speckhals received her M.A. and Psy.D. in Clinical Psychology from the University of Denver. She completed an APA-accredited pre-doctoral internship and a post-doctoral fellowship in child clinical psychology at Primary Children's Hospital in Salt Lake City, Utah. Her graduate training and experiences focused on providing assessment and treatment for children and adolescents with mood and behavioral concerns, complex trauma, ADHD, learning disorders, and Autism Spectrum Disorder. Dr. Grady-Speckhals has worked in a number of settings, including both inpatient and outpatient hospital clinics.

The Denver ADHD Center is committed to helping individuals and their families using scientifically supported methods for testing, treatment planning, and ongoing management of ADHD. I offer testing services, executive functioning coaching, and can help you coordinate medication management with your doctor.

I use evidence-based treatments for mood disturbances, grief, body image dissatisfaction, relationship stress and counseling, PTSD, sleep disturbances, athlete performance and mental health, and life transitions. Clinically, my approach is informed by training in cognitive behavioral therapy while also being impacted by feminist, multicultural, existential, and interpersonal therapies.

I love working with people who are interested in getting to know themselves better within the safe environment of therapy. Some of the people I work with come to therapy with clear goals, and other ones just know that they are feeling stuck, off, sad, scared, or unmoored. Either way is understandable and completely okay. The important thing is that they have the courage to seek support. I tend to work with people who would like to explore the roots of their current challenges, who want to feel more connected to themselves and other people, who put in effort in and outside of therapy, and who want to learn to be kinder to themselves.

Hi, I'm Keiran (they/them). I serve individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, panic, grief, shame, loneliness, trauma, and other emotional pain as well as individuals with marginalized identities including various gender identities and sexual orientations. Often, as intelligent people, we use our minds and our intellect to ease our struggles, but these difficult emotions have a bodily experience that is important to acknowledge and work with.
