Welcome! My name is Kenia Rijo and I am the Founder of Mind, Body And You Therapeutic Services. I have over a decade of experience in clinical settings working with individuals navigating life transitions, identity and anxiety. I am fluent in Spanish which allows for one to be able to serve a large range of clients in their healing journey. In my work I believe it is important to work together to help you develop coping skills, reduce anxiety and stress, cultivate self-love and compassion, and find peace using a strengths-based and person-centered approach. But most importantly our relationship will center on building a better and healthier you as whole- in mind, body, and spirit. It can feel like life is happening too fast and you may feel like you need air to breathe. Together we can work on setting manageable and realistic goals. In the process of wanting more for yourself, you may miss all the small victories that are just as important. Let’s work together to allow you the space to become your authentic self.

As a licensed marriage and family therapist, licensed professional counselor, and licensed addiction counselor, she specializes in working with people who have experienced and survived acute and complex trauma. She is also a Colorado LPC, MFT, and LAC supervisor providing individual and group supervision. She earned her Master of Marriage and Family Therapy degree from the University of Southern California and trained at one of Los Angeles’ most progressive centers for trauma-focused treatment and child abuse prevention. Through her work in residential treatment centers in Denver and Los Angeles, Courtneyrose gained extensive experience caring for women with Borderline Personality Disorder and high-risk adolescents. Courtneyrose expanded upon her diverse experience by working with clients throughout the Denver Metro area at one of the most reputable counseling nonprofit organizations in the city. She opened two offices to better serve clients living throughout the Denver Metro area, including Denver, Cherry Creek, Highlands Ranch, Littleton, Centennial, Lakewood, Greenwood Village, Parker, and Castle Rock. Courtneyrose is trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Integrative Treatment of Complex Trauma for Adolescents (ITCT-A), and Trauma Center Trauma Sensitive Yoga (TC-TSY). She’s a certified Hatha yoga instructor and fitness enthusiast who integrates effective, research-based modalities with an emphasis on the mind-body connection into her clients’ treatment plans. By discovering the unique strengths of each client, she helps guide them towards improved health, self-esteem, resilience, and increased satisfaction in life.

Everyone regardless of age or background deserves a safe space in which to process and explore their life experiences. As a NY State licensed psychologist I work with children, teens, and adults experiencing a wide range of stressors to include symptoms related to anxiety and depression. My collaborative treatment approach is designed to create a supportive and open environment to facilitate growth and change. I approach sessions from an individualized therapeutic stance, tailoring treatment to the needs of the individual or family seeking my support. Most frequently, I employ techniques from psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, and attachment related theories. In my work with younger children I often use play therapy in addition to offering parent support and school consultations. One of the most important aspects of the therapeutic process is the rapport that you establish with your clinician. I offer initial consultations in which we discuss your reasons for seeking treatment, and answer any questions you may have regarding the treatment process. In that way I encourage you to decide if I am the right therapist for your needs.

Will Dempsey is the founder of Heads Held High Counseling. He started this practice with a simple goal: to help people. Over time, he realized how often the healthcare system gets in the way of that. Insurances don’t pay providers enough to make a livable wage, but charging what’s fair for therapists can make care unaffordable for clients. It’s a broken system, and he wanted to do something about it. That’s why he expanded into a group practice. By bringing together a talented team, we’re able to push for higher insurance rates while still providing care that’s accessible—especially for marginalized communities that are often priced out of mental health services. Our team also specializes in culturally competent care. As members of the queer community ourselves, we have a deeper understanding of what it means to live as a queer person and the unique challenges that come with it. While he's no longer seeing clients directly, he pours his heart into running this team because he believes in our mission. We strive to meet you where you’re at and guide you toward reaching your goals—whatever they may be. Having been in therapy himself for over 10 years, he understands how frustrating it can be to navigate insurance and mental health care. That perspective drives me to reduce as many barriers to care as possible. Outside of work, he's a drag performer — a passion that reflects his values as a social worker. Both drag and social work are about fighting for social and political justice, and they inspire him to keep showing up for the communities he cares about.

Welcome! 

My passion is to help aid my clients in identifying who they are, where they are, and where they are wanting to get too. I work to help resolve conflict individually, in families, and/or in relationships. Each client’s story and the journey are specific to them so my goal is to shape treatment to the specific needs of each person. We will work through the difficult moments, learn skills to aid in independence, and become comfortable enough to reach out for support when something is not working. Breaking patterns and creating new ones based off the person/family/couple you strive to be is the goal of each session. I am a LPC and a Certified Anger Management Specialist II. I have a Master’s Degree in Psychology, and a 2nd Masters Degree in Clinical Counseling and Sex therapy. I have extensive training in Anger management, mood disorders (anxiety/depression), family systems, ABA, , infertility, and many more. I’m always working to keep myself well-educated and eclectic. My mission is to meet each client where they are. I understand that life gives each person their own battles but I stand firm in not having to face the battle alone. Knowing there are people out there ready to help you without judgment is what drove me to be a therapist. I am that person and I can be that person for you.

I operate from a holistic, integrative approach to counseling, creating collaborative and personalized treatment to meet the specific needs and goals of the individual client or couple. I view psychotherapy as a relational learning experience; one that facilitates emotional and behavioral growth and supports a deep, connected relationship between therapist and client. I strive to help my clients to develop coping skills and realize their resilience in order to achieve their desired goals in therapy. I am passionate about working with couples, sex-related issues, relationships, commitment, trauma, anxiety and depression. Calls and emails are welcomed. Please don't hesitate to reach out, whether to schedule an appointment or learn more about my approach.

I co-author a book with my husband, "Make It Last Forever" I use an eclectic approach to help clients resolve core issues, relieve distressing emotional symptoms, and to gain new insights into how past experiences are impacting their ability to achieve their life's goal. I will also help couples with creating a pathway for obtaining a blissful marriage through premarital and marriage counseling.
