Mental health counseling for Gay, Lesbian, Straight, Sexuality, HIV, or AIDS issues is a very specialized service. If you're looking for specialized therapy services in the Denver area, I utilize standard psychotherapy methods. If you're not sure what "psychotherapy" means. Keep reading.
The terms "counseling," "therapy," and "psychotherapy" are often used interchangeably, all referring to forms of care to address distressing thoughts, feelings, beliefs, experiences, or behaviors. Psychotherapy is the process of talking with a mental health professional about yourself, your life, and your experience in a safe place. This should allow you to speak freely about anything, even deeply personal or uncomfortable topics. This is different that speaking with friends or family. Your psychotherapist is an outside objective professional, working to help you learn about yourself and grow. It should feel welcoming, respectful, and helpful to you. Effective psychotherapy is a balance of both support and challenge. A helpful psychotherapist will have education, training, and experience with the specific issues you need to address.
I offer a free initial consultation for 45 minutes. I'll have lots of questions for you and you may have some for me as well. This way, you can decide if the fit seems right for you and your concerns. Together, we'll determine your goals and come up with a plan.
Most often clients engage in therapy once a week for a 50-minute session. Sometimes, clients request to meet more frequently if they're feeling distressed or going through a rough time. Duration of therapy for most clients ranges somewhere between three months and three years. The duration of therapy varies greatly depending on your situation, personal goals, and benefit from the service.
If at any point our work does not seem helpful to you, I will gladly assist you to find other services that may be a
better fit.
