Therapy in Arvada, CO

I am a licensed clinical social worker. My professional experience includes working with populations struggling with substance use and trauma. I also have experience working with those involved in the criminal justice system.

I prefer to utilize a client-centered, interpersonal approach in the therapeutic relationship, with training in EMDR and certification in sex addiction therapy. I am also a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional and Certified Grief Informed Professional.

I prefer to utilize a number of different therapeutic modalities in sessions, such as DBT, CBT, attachment, narrative, etc. I believe in the importance of finding the right coping skills and in the importance of self-care. I also feel it is important to have an interpersonal experience within the therapeutic relationship.

Hello, I’m Jessica. People from all walks of life experience challenges and stressors that can be overwhelming and impact their well-being. Counseling can provide you with a safe place to talk about these stressors, gain the tools to overcome challenges, and achieve balance and fulfillment in life.

I believe in the power of therapy to help you gain insight about your thoughts, shift your outlook, and increase awareness of your feelings, needs, and desires, to help you live your best life.

Using a collaborative strength-based approach, I help guide and empower you to quiet worrisome thoughts, explore painful patterns in your life, and provide practice in coping, self-care, and personal growth. In a non-judgmental, compassionate, and supportive way, I can help you find relief and change patterns of behavior in your personal life and relationships.

I began my journey in the field by working in various residential treatment programs for adults and adolescents while earning my Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology and integrative therapeutic practices at Metropolitan State University of Denver. In 2017, I graduated from the University of Denver with a Master of Arts degree in clinical mental health counseling with a specialization in substance abuse.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Addiction Counselor (LAC). Over the past 7 years, I have been working with adults in community mental health, providing individual therapy and crisis evaluations. I also have experience working with children and adolescents, offering in-home individual and family therapy for over 2 years.

I specialize in working with adults battling depression, anxiety, trauma, substance use concerns, and clients navigating life transitions. My approach is eclectic, tailored to suit the unique needs of each client.

Hello. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate (LPCC) with my MA degree in Counseling Psychology from the University of Denver. I primarily work through a person-centered approach, as I believe the client/counselor relationship is one of the most foundational aspects of the therapeutic process.

I also have experience incorporating CBT, DBT, ACT, mindfulness based interventions, Internal Family Systems, and attachment theory.

I am passionate about working with LGBTQ+ individuals and others with marginalized identities. I enjoy working with individuals throughout life’s many transitions, whether discovering new identities, job shifts, family or relationship structure changes, retirement and beyond. I am also committed to helping clients work through trauma and its triggers to decrease the impact on their daily lives.

From a young age, I’ve known that helping others would be at the heart of my life’s work, but how I help people matters most. As a Marriage and Family Therapy Candidate, I’m passionate about walking alongside individuals, couples, and families as they explore growth, healing, and connection. I believe that meaningful change begins with insight, compassion, and understanding.

My approach is warm, relational, and insight-oriented. I strive to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel seen and heard as they process emotions and experiences at their own pace. I value authentic validation and believe that healing happens when we allow space for vulnerability, curiosity, and self-discovery.

I am especially drawn to systemic and process-oriented therapy, which helps uncover the deeper patterns, cycles, and intergenerational influences that shape relationships. Together, we work to understand these dynamics and nurture healthy, lasting change that extends beyond surface-level solutions.

I view therapy as a collaborative and empowering journey rooted in trust, empathy, and authenticity. My goal is to help clients reconnect with their strengths, embrace balance, and rediscover hope and resilience within themselves and their relationships.

As a trauma-informed therapist, I work at the intersection of traditional clinical therapy and holistic healing. My early experiences, growing up with a parent with addiction and navigating trauma, deepened my understanding of resilience and shaped my therapeutic lens.

Alongside talk therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I incorporate somatic work, mindfulness, movement, herbal knowledge, and the gut-brain relationship to support whole-person healing. I offer a multicultural, integrative, and experiential approach, grounded in evidence-based practice.

I work with teens and adults who are open to natural wellness practices and want therapy that blends traditional techniques like talk therapy and evidence-based tools with holistic mind-body practices to create meaningful, lasting change.

I am a counselor candidate whose clinical background is rooted in serving some of the community’s most vulnerable populations. Alongside my practice, I serve as a case manager helping individuals navigate complex, high-stress systems and major life crises. This work has directly shaped my commitment to providing a safe, welcoming space free of judgment.

In my practice, I focus on helping individuals manage anxiety, navigate life transitions, and safely explore aspects of identity. Our work will focus on building stability now so you can confidently tackle what matters most to you afterward. If you’re looking for someone to help guide you through life’s chaotic challenges, I am committed to helping you navigate through.

I view growth as a process of returning to ourselves through healing. Even when we have passed through darkness or felt stuck, we remain autonomous beings deserving of safety, belonging, and empowerment. My work is grounded in an IFS, mindfulness-based, person-centered approach, integrating evidence-based interventions such as CBT, DBT, ACT, and others.

I support minors, adults, individuals, and couples navigating emotional regulation, relationship challenges, anxiety, depression, trauma-related concerns, relapse prevention, and behavioral management. Together, we create space within body and mind for meaning, hope, and transformation.

Throughout my journey, I have experience working with diverse populations across the lifespan in a range of clinical settings, including individuals with disability, behavioral concerns, and neurodivergence. I also welcome supporting persons to assist human growth during session. As a BIPOC queer therapist, I also bring a bilingual multicultural lens to session with particular care for BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and immigrant clients.
