Individual Therapy
Diagnostic Evaluation
This is the initial intake session to begin individual therapy. This session is typically 50 minutes long. This is the chance for you and your therapist to get to know each other and ensure this is the right fit. You will be asked about what is bringing you into therapy, your goals, symptoms, and history. This is also a time for you to ask any questions that you may have about therapy before committing to additional sessions.
Depending on the age of the client and the reason for seeking therapy, the initial intake session may include the parent/guardian and the minor client, just the client, or just the parent/guardian. Please have a list of previous diagnoses, current medications, and previous mental health providers ready. If you have mental health or medical records, please bring those in.
After an initial assessment, treatment planning and programming will be tailored to fit each individual’s specific needs, and may include a parent component to help reinforce skills and strategies taught.

Play Therapy
In play therapy, toys are like the child’s words and play is the child’s language. – Dr. Garry Landreth
Play is a child’s natural means of communication. Play therapy is a dynamic interpersonal relationship between a child and a therapist trained in play therapy practice. In the context of a safe relationship, a play therapist sets the stage for children to fully express and explore their sense of self (feelings, thoughts, experiences, and behaviors). Through therapeutic play, children are able to work towards optimal growth, development and healing. Play allows us access to the inner world of children, which helps facilitate better understanding and ways to best support their needs.
Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR)
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a method of psychotherapy that has been extensively researched and proven effective for the treatment of trauma and other chronically experienced stressors. EMDR is a set of standardized protocols that incorporates elements from many different treatment approaches. EMDR does not require someone to share details of their trauma or experience.
EMDR has been used effectively to treatment many issues including:
- Trauma (including both Post-Traumatic and Acute Stress Disorder)
- Upsetting childhood events which have caused low self-esteem or confidence problems
- Anxiety/Phobias/OCD
- Grief/Loss
- Depression
- Addictive Behaviors
- Performance Anxiety
- Stress Reduction
Telehealth Therapy
Telehealth therapy is a convenient and accessible option for some individual's to get the help they need. Telehealth appointments are provided over secure internet formats that include video and audio.
Telehealth is typically suitable for teens and young adults and can be just as beneficial as the traditional face-to-face therapy. We typically do not recommend telehealth for kids younger than 10 although we will consider it on a case by case basis.
All of our therapists are licensed in the State of Colorado and therefore can only provide telehealth services to individuals physically present in the State of Colorado at the time of the session.
