Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists in Colorado

Hello! I can help you with life direction (bring in more joy and meaning), grief and loss, life transitions and women’s counseling for empowerment (create more self-compassion and self-esteem, decrease stress, set boundaries and find your voice). Adults sometimes need another perspective to help them understand and work through life’s challenges. Psychotherapy is all about getting to know yourself better, so that you can make changes that will bring about balance and healing in your life. This is a time for you. I view therapy as a gift that people give to themselves. Even if you do not feel this inside, the statement you make by attending therapy is “I matter”, “I am important” and “I deserve to have and live a life that feels good”. I work with clients to develop a plan to create the life that they desire. Would you like help in finding your life direction, and bring more joy into your life? Do you want to connect back to what makes you feel happy and fulfilled? Have you experienced the death of a loved one or another type of loss? At times you may not know where to turn or what to do to make things better for yourself. If you could use some support, I'd like to help. I guide adults in living happier, healthier, more fulfilled and joyous lives. I earned my Master of Social Work degree from Tulane University in 1988. Prior to that, I received my Bachelor’s degree in Sociology from Pepperdine University in 1986. Before opening my counseling practice, I spent over a decade providing counseling services and groups to adults, teens and children in various social service agencies. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Colorado. I am also a Certified Grief Informed Professional. I believe that we all have the ability to live a fulfilled and balanced life. I help people access their strengths and guide them in making choices to bring about this healing and balance. I have seen such amazing growth and transformation in my clients. It is a privilege to work with them. I am based in Longmont, CO, but through my exclusively online counseling, I am available to see adults throughout Colorado and Florida. Because the therapeutic fit is so important, I offer a free 20-minute video or phone consultation.  I look forward to hearing from you!

When overwhelmed, many reach for ways to cope with distress. Sadly, that seemingly helpful behavior may become an addiction causing even more distress than ever before. Overcoming an addiction to substances, technology, or the like, doesn’t have to be done alone. For many, after the addiction is managed, the distress of the original problem remains, such as depression, anxiety, trauma or other mental health symptoms. I believe that the journey to recovery doesn’t stop when addictive behaviors cease, but rather in a holistic approach that addresses the issues that led to the consequences of addiction.

Hello! I'm Susan Brock, an Adult and Geriatric Nurse Practitioner with a passion for helping patients achieve better health, particularly in weight management and mental health. My weight loss journey started as a young girl with my mom attending weekly Weight Watchers meetings.

Hello and bienvenue! I work with a diverse clientele and specialize in providing social justice oriented psychotherapy to people of color, as well as members of LGBTQIA+ communities. I provide culturally responsive therapy, which focuses on the strengths that you already have. I tend to use an Interpersonal Process theoretical approach (IPT) as well as a cognitive-behavioral theoretical approach (CBT) while also paying attention to your environment and access to social support. I work with you to build a safe space where you can share your experiences without the fear of being judged, and where you can focus on becoming clear about what you want, and how you want to go about making that happen. I believe that it is important to build a strong therapeutic relationship, as well as paying close attention to what is happening for you in-the-moment. I find it helpful to work to understand the different values and beliefs that we bring into the room, and how these worldviews might affect our interactions with each other. Understanding how your thoughts are related to your behaviors can empower and help you to actively account for your reality. You can use this insight to make the changes that will be necessary to live life more healthily.
