Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 8 mi away • Denver, CO


Hi, I’m Genevieve. I support people navigating big life transitions — especially athletes moving beyond their sport — as well as individuals dealing with addiction, substance use, or feeling disconnected from who they are or where they’re headed. My style is warm, collaborative, and grounded in practical tools. I bring curiosity, compassion, and a bit of humor to our work, helping you understand your patterns, make sense of your emotions, and move through change with more clarity and confidence. My goal is to create a space where you don’t have to perform — you can show up exactly as you are, and we’ll navigate the next steps together.

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!

Virtual & in-person • 15 mi away • Wheat Ridge, CO


I have wanted to be a therapist since I was twelve years old after seeing a guru use his expertise to connect with a troubled child who had only known how to push others away. Over twenty five years later, I'm privileged enough to have found my own niche, working with individual adults address the impacts of trauma, anxiety, and depression. They have proven that the capacity to love and embrace life can be rediscovered, even for those who have lived through the unbearable.
