Hi, I’m Denae! As a therapist who lives in the neurodivergent world myself, I believe therapy should be both real and lighthearted. With over a decade in behavioral health and dual licenses in counseling and addictions, I bring both clinical training and personal experience. I hold a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Regis University. My goal is to create a safe space where you can show up authentically, free from judgment, with a touch of humor along the way.

Many of my clients come to me feeling lost or disconnected from themselves. I frequently see queer and neurodivergent adults who are working through barriers to living their most authentic life - be that trauma, attachment & relationship wounds, anxiety, and more. It's a profound honor and passion to help my clients learn to trust their own thoughts and feelings, take up more space in their world, and truly feel at home in themselves.

Claudia Erek

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 16 mi away • Littleton, CO


My goal is to provide you with a safe, emotional space where you will feel comfortable, relaxed and know that you are being heard. I want you to be able to express yourself freely without any fear of judgement. Healing takes place when you are able to be open, honest and vulnerable. Throughout my practice, it has been an honor to help facilitate extraordinary transformation in the lives of my clients. Believe me when I say that, “Anything is possible,” as I have witnessed my clients overcome trauma, grief, depression, anxiety and hardcore drug addiction.


Often, our feelings of shame, hurt and fear rob us of the opportunity to experience true joy and fulfillment in our lives. Do you find yourself running from these feelings or always fighting against them? Instead, I can help you embrace them and work through them. It is through this process of transformation where you learn to find acceptance, meaning

and purpose in your life. This leads to living with self-authenticity, and this is when you experience true joy and fulfillment. I look forward to being your catalyst for change. Together, we will take this journey and progress at your own pace. I encourage you to take the first step and make an appointment. Your life is worth it!

Reaching out for therapy takes courage, and finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming. I believe therapy begins with feeling comfortable enough to be yourself while working with someone who genuinely wants to understand your experience.
