Child, Adolescent, & Adult Counseling of Denver
Empowering You To Live in Freedom
Imagine that your needs are met, your boundaries are respected, and your relationships feel healthy and supportive. You feel confident in who you are and worthy of love and acceptance. Instead of resorting to people-pleasing, you are able to navigate your relationships with self-assurance and communicate what you want clearly and effectively.
At the moment, this kind of life may seem far-fetched. Perhaps you’re a new mom wrestling with postpartum depression or anxiety and struggling to manage all your responsibilities. Or maybe you’re an athlete, entrepreneur, or leader in your workplace who’s dealing with burnout and struggling to find time for self-care.
Regardless of your challenges, you’re probably tired of all the pressure to do more, be more, and have more. It’s like everyone expects you to be superwoman—available for everyone at all times and able to stretch yourself in a million directions at once. Deep down, you probably wish you had space to just relax, be yourself, and not be available to people 24/7.
Perhaps you often feel like you’re not worthy of living the life you deserve, so you settle for unhappy relationships and sacrifice your needs for the sake of others. There may be unhealed wounds that are still left over from your childhood and impacting your life today. You might struggle with thoughts like “I’m not good enough” or “my needs aren’t important” because you were raised in a home where those messages were insinuated. Maybe you’re ready to heal from your childhood and stop carrying the past into your present relationships.
If this is the case, we encourage you to get in touch with us. At Denver CAC, we specialize in providing counseling for women struggling with anxiety, burnout, low self-esteem, and various vocational and relational challenges. Our female therapists are passionate about women’s empowerment and have the tools and training to help you connect with your authentic self and live a more vibrant and colorful life.
If you’re a woman who’s struggling to find a healthy work-life balance and manage all the demands and responsibilities placed on you, you’re not alone. Millions of women are in the same boat, reckoning with career burnout, dating anxiety, and unrealistic expectations from social media. They’re supposed to be spouses, caretakers, and career women all at the same time, able to shoulder the burdens of parenting while still holding down a successful job.
On top of all that, many women struggle to build fulfilling social lives and create meaningful connections. After college, it’s become increasingly hard to make friends and find healthy relationships. Many women are exhausted and burnt out from trying to navigate the dating pool—a steady, stable relationship seems all but impossible to come by. As a result, more and more women are turning to therapy to create the deeper connections they long for.
Our culture today is filled with billion-dollar industries that seek to make us feel insecure and inadequate. They tell us that we aren’t pretty enough, successful enough, or happy enough so that we buy more of their products and sign up for more of their subscriptions. But in the end, this just creates a never-ending feedback loop of dissatisfaction. The more we try to change who we are to fit our culture’s definition of success, the more inauthentic and unsatisfying our lives become.
What’s more, many of us may have grown up in households where we felt that we couldn’t be our authentic selves. In order to be accepted, we had to hide certain aspects of our personalities and act like someone we’re not. What we need is a place where we can be our true selves without any fear of judgment or rejection—and that’s what therapy offers.
You don’t have to keep white-knuckling your way through life and living in survival mode. With the right help and support, you can thrive instead of just getting by. You can identify what you want in life, overcome limiting beliefs, become confident in who you are, and live a life that’s true to your needs and values.
Our practice offers counseling services for women facing issues in sports, dating, relationships, and their careers. Our staff has many female therapists on hand and we are all deeply passionate about supporting and advocating for women. Our mission is to empower you to date with confidence, reduce burnout, increase your self-esteem, and live a more vibrant and fulfilling life.
We take a strengths-based, solution-focused approach to women’s counseling, looking at practical ways that we can help you set goals, establish boundaries, increase self-care, and gain new coping skills. We draw from a wide variety of approaches, some of which are listed below:
In the end, it’s important to know that all of us at Denver CAC have been in the chair ourselves—we’ve done our own healing work and come out stronger on the other side. That’s why we are so passionate about helping women like you reduce stress, overcome trauma, and reach for the stars. We have all experienced the benefits of therapy ourselves!
Many of our clients tell us that they see improvement after just a few sessions. That’s because we are solution-focused and seek to help clients establish clear goals and learn effective coping skills early in the process. Our goal is not to keep you in therapy forever, but at the same time, we recognize that some issues may take longer to resolve. We will always go at a pace that’s right for you!
We enjoy helping women who’ve found therapy ineffective in the past because we can explore ways to make it work for them. We do not believe that there is one way to do therapy, and that’s why we integrate a variety of techniques tailored to each individual’s situation. When clients tell us they’ve had a negative experience with therapy, we want to know what they didn’t like so that we can do things differently.
Every therapist at our practice has sat in the other chair, so we understand the courage and vulnerability it takes to do therapy. Life is hard, everyone has things they feel ashamed about, and we want to give you a space where you can freely talk about topics that may feel taboo. It is an incredible honor and privilege to be invited into your story, and we will always honor and respect you in every way we can.
Whether you’re a woman facing challenges related to athletic, vocational, or relational challenges, we believe that we can help you put your best foot forward and live a more authentic life. To learn more about therapy for women, you can fill out contact form or call us at 303-835-6992.
