Online Therapy in Colorado
Turns out peace and quiet gives you more room to overthink.
You thought maybe you needed a slower pace.
More sunshine.
More nature.
A better work-life balance.
And now you're overthinking with a mountain view.
Progress?
Our online anxiety therapy in Colorado helps adults who are tired of worrying, anticipating, rehearsing, perfectionizing, people-pleasing, and conducting extensive internal investigations into interactions everyone else forgot about immediately.
Madison “Madi” Summerfield, LPCC particularly enjoys working with high-strung adults in their 20s and 30s who are outwardly functioning and internally running a 24-hour risk-management department.
Trauma & Family-of-Origin Therapy
You put 1,000 miles between you and your family. Very reasonable.
Distance can be incredibly helpful.
It can give you room to become your own person.
To figure out what you believe.
To build relationships differently.
To decide which parts of your family you want to carry with you and which ones can remain comfortably in another ZIP code.
But geographic distance and emotional resolution are unfortunately not the same thing.
Rhiana Turner specializes in trauma and family-of-origin therapy, including work with adults who have complicated relationships with parents and want to maintain or improve those relationships without returning to old roles every time they go home for Christmas.
Therapy doesn't have to end with going no-contact.
Sometimes it's about learning how to go home and still be yourself.
Relationships
You started over. Then you started dating.
A new city can give you a new dating pool.
Unfortunately, it does not provide a new attachment style.
The same fears can show up with completely different people: abandonment, avoidance, people-pleasing, difficulty trusting, difficulty asking for what you need, choosing emotionally unavailable partners, or confusing anxiety with chemistry.
Our relationship therapy helps adults understand why certain patterns keep appearing—and, more importantly, what to do differently when they do.
Because eventually “Denver dating is terrible” stops explaining everything.
Identity & Life Transitions
Nobody here knew the old you. So who are you now?
Moving away can give you an unusual amount of freedom.
It can also be deeply disorienting.
Without your old friends, family, community, expectations, routines, or identity markers, you may find yourself asking questions you never had enough distance to ask before.
What do you actually want?
Which values are yours?
What kind of relationships do you want?
Who are you when you aren't performing the role everyone back home knows you for?
Our therapists work with adults navigating identity, relationships, sexuality, career changes, family roles, adulthood, and major life transitions.
Dacre Kurth, LCSW particularly enjoys working with emerging adults navigating identity, relationships, anxiety, and the deeply inconvenient expectation that you're supposed to know what you're doing by now.
It’s a whole new you.
Maybe Colorado gave you room to become more yourself.
LGBTQ+ Affirming Therapy
For some people, moving away from home isn't just about adventure.
It's the first time there's enough space to figure out who they actually are.
Madison “Madi” Summerfield provides LGBTQ+ affirming online therapy in Colorado for adults navigating identity, relationships, anxiety, body image, shame, self-esteem, and family dynamics.
Sometimes therapy is about sexuality or gender.
Sometimes it's about your parents.
Sometimes it's about the person who stopped texting you back.
Being queer does not obligate you to spend every therapy session discussing being queer.
Grief, Homesickness & The Life You Left Behind
You can love your new life and miss the old one.
Moving somewhere new can involve grief even when it was entirely your decision.
You can miss your family. Your friendships. Your community. Traditions. The place where everyone knew you.
The version of your life that would have happened if you'd stayed. And you can simultaneously have absolutely no desire to move back.
Our therapists provide online grief therapy for death and significant loss, but also understand the complicated grief that can accompany major transitions.
Two things can be true.
Colorado can be home.
And somewhere else can still feel like home too.
You moved to Colorado. You did the big thing. Now it's time to face the music.
You moved across the country.
Maybe you left your hometown. Your family. The people who had known you since middle school. The version of yourself everyone expected you to keep being.
You came to Colorado for the job. The mountains. The relationship. The adventure. The fresh start. Or because someone said, “You would LOVE Denver,” and apparently they were right.
You built a life here.
And then, somewhat inconveniently, you came with you.
The anxiety came.
The ADHD came.
The relationship patterns came.
The complicated feelings about your parents definitely came.
Because changing your surroundings can change your life. It just doesn't automatically change the patterns you brought with you.
Denver Psychology Associates provides online therapy throughout Colorado for adults ready to figure out what comes after the big move.
