Therapists in Colorado

My therapeutic approach is rooted in a deep understanding of the complexities of the human experience. I believe in the transformative power of exploring one's internal landscape to navigate life's challenges, whether they stem from grief, anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, or relationship issues.

Perinatal and postpartum mental health (including pre-conception, fertility, pregnancy, loss, birth, traumatic birth and the transition into parenthood) are my particular passions. It takes courage to acknowledge that our old ways of doing things are no longer serving us, this particularly peaks in the childbearing years (for a variety of reasons). Sometimes we feel that change is needed but we don't know where to start. I work from a foundational belief that ALL of us are capable of taking the steps necessary to actualize our full potential - the brilliance of who we truly are - and that sometimes old patterns get in the way.

Clients come to me because they are struggling with symptoms related to anxiety, depression, addiction, anger, difficulty coping with stress, trauma recovery, low self esteem, and difficult life transitions. I help people reframe their perceptions about challenges in their lives while building the awareness and skillset to reduce symptoms and better regulate emotions. My client's desire to reduce fear and negativity, while learning to position themselves to experience more peace and self control in regards to overcoming challenging patterns or situations.

I work from a person-centered/humanistic theoretical lens, operating from a perspective that people can accomplish their goals when they are met with compassion, understanding, and are provided with hands-on tools for emotional processing and coping with life stressors. I graduated in 2020 from Ottawa University, and I have a wide range of experience in various mental health settings, including inpatient/crisis stabilization, outpatient clinics, and residential facilities.

Schedule through my website link in my bio today! Before his own private practice, Tim provided mental health and addiction counseling to individuals and groups. Most of his time was spent serving forensic clients, who were state-mandated to inpatient rehabilitation for a history of felony convictions and serious drug use. Many of them had dual diagnoses, meaning they had mental health issues coinciding with their substance use disorders (which is often the case). Tim relied heavily on various counseling theories including Existential Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Narrative Therapy. He became trained in EMDR.

I believe that we cannot truly change without understanding our past and how it impacts our present. I help my clients explore their early experiences, first attachments, environments they were born into, and generational trauma to help them understand the patterns they've developed in order to adapt. Those once adaptive patterns, oftentimes become maladaptive later on in life and can be hard to change. I assist my clients in their process of change through guided exploration, drawing links between the past and the present and gently challenging the patterns that no longer serve them.

My work with clients focuses on emotional distress, relationship issues, and spiritual conflict. I also support individuals struggling with their core sense-of-self, grief, and loss of desire and pleasure.

Many of my clients have been in psychotherapy/counseling before and start working with me to go deeper to transform from the repetitive relational patterns that hold them back. Most of my clients value psychotherapy and see the benefit from telling the emotionally significant story of their lives in a confidential safe setting. Trauma, addiction, depression, and anxiety are issues that I have the most experience relating with. Some of life's dilemmas require a conversation to resolve. A conversation that weaves past and present, fantasy and reality, desire and inhibition to form a detailed understanding of one's life.

Thank you for taking a moment to check in with yourself and to reach out. I am interested in hearing about what causes you stress and what gets you inspired. This is what being human is all about, and finding a balance here is so important. I want to help you make room for the ways you're working hard to manage life and help you shake off the tension, frustration and worry that gets in the way of feeling awesome. I trust that being together with a skillful someone is what allows for confidence and clarity to emerge even in the midst of challenges.

I believe that everyone could benefit from therapy and a deeper understanding of themselves. My goal is for therapy to be a space where you feel empowered to create the change and healing you want in your life, not only learn how to cope with the present issue.

In today’s world, we are digesting almost 7 times more information a day than we were in the 80’s. Our fast paced world leaves us little choice, and our nervous systems are limited in their capacity to adapt. Newer research suggests symptoms of mental illness are the body’s way of forcing us to slow down — whether it’s through paralyzing intrusive thoughts, panic attacks, procrastination, or depressive isolation. Together, we can identify, address, and build a life in support of the needs underlying your symptoms. The goal is not eliminating negative emotions, but improving our ability to feel them so they can pass in due time.

I will work with you to face those struggles that have been holding you back and keeping you down. When you allow yourself to work through it, you are one step closer to transforming your life.

My ideal client is motivated to significantly improve and overcome struggles with relationship issues, intimacy concerns, addictions or compulsive behaviors, marital challenges, struggles with sex and intimacy, interpersonal conflict and overall wants to reach for a more fulfilling life.

As a therapist, I utilize an empathic and holistic approach to therapy. I believes that every aspect of a person, from their mental and physical health, to their personal identities and how they fit into the world around them, are key aspects of cultivating a positive therapeutic experience. My experience supports a wide range of populations, including the treatment of addictions, personality disorders, eating disorders, as well as minority issues and the LGBTQ+ community.

For the past 25 years, I have helped people heal from the emotional pain that frequently results from divorce, trauma, abuse, the death of loved ones, and physical illness. I have helped people make changes so that they can lead happier and more rewarding lives. In my practice, the focus of therapy is on YOU, so that together we can increase your awareness about YOUR life patterns, build on YOUR strengths, and help YOU develop new coping strategies. I believe that problems can be solved when we learn to focus on our strengths while appreciating and dealing with our past.
