Addiction therapists & psychiatrists in Commerce City, CO

I work with creative, self-aware adults navigating anxiety & overthinking, grief, ADHD & other neurodivergence, relationship struggles, and major life transitions and reinvention — people in the middle of real change.

Therapy with me is grounded, direct, and collaborative. We slow down enough to understand what’s happening beneath the surface — and then we figure out how to move you forward.

I have a master's degree in clinical mental health counseling and have worked in inpatient rehab, community mental health, and private practice. And I've had several other careers before this: massage therapist, editor and writer, writing instructor, park ranger, all of which inform how I show up as a therapist.

Hello, my name is Amanda. I moved to Colorado after finishing my Master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling at Mid America State University in Oklahoma. Since entering the counseling field in early 2020, I have had the privilege of working with clients who experience addiction, anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, and relationship issues.

My goal is to create a safe and supportive environment where you feel heard and understood. Whether you're dealing with stress, navigating life transitions, or coping with trauma, I am here to help you find your path to healing and growth. I specialize in a range of areas including addiction, ADHD, anxiety, borderline personality disorder, depression, family relationships, intimate/romantic relationships, and life transitions.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, and I am committed to providing personalized care that meets your unique needs. Together, we will explore your challenges and work towards achieving your goals. If you're ready to take the next step in your journey, I invite you to reach out and start this process with me. I look forward to working with you.

I’m Matt Larock and I’m a licensed clinical therapist and a licensed clinical addiction counselor in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. I am trained in Somatic Experiencing trauma treatment and I’m also a certified nature-based coach. In a former life, I owned a 300-seat restaurant for 14 years. I’m no stranger to stress and addiction.

I help my clients navigate the challenges that have had them stuck for just a few months or stuck for over a few decades.

I work with men, women, teens, young adults and parents who want to stop white knuckling their way through life’s difficulties and get the tools to make changes that stick for the long haul.

I help men and women of all ages who have challenges with substance abuse, I help parents of struggling teens and young adults who are navigating how to help their child eventually become a thriving adult. I help young adults heal their past, take responsibility for their future and move forward in a healthy way. And I help all kinds of clients of all ages heal anxiety, trauma, stress and other difficulties.

It’s exhausting to keep trying the old way on the same issues. It’s exhausting to keep spinning your wheels. It’s exhausting to be mired in anxiety and it’s exhausting to let trauma go untreated for years and years.

I work with adults, seniors and adolescents who are experiencing many different kinds of

challenges. These can include anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, life transitions,

work stress, and trauma. My approach is collaborative, and I try to create an environment

where people feel comfortable talking about what is happening in their lives.

I listen carefully and seek to understand each client’s unique circumstances.

Helping people better understand themselves remains at the center of my approach.

This can include recognizing patterns and finding more effective ways of handling the

difficulties they face.

I hold a Master’s Degree in Clinical Social Work from Walden University, with a concentration in trauma-informed care. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Licensed Addiction Counselor (LAC), as well as certified in Art Therapy, Play Therapy, and Sandplay Therapy. My early career centered on supporting children and families navigating trauma, substance use, and instability, as well as individuals transitioning from incarceration and reintegrating into their communities. These experiences continue to shape my person-centered, integrative approach to care.

In my practice, I support adults and children through an individualized, holistic lens. My therapeutic philosophy draws from Person-Centered, Holistic, and Psychodynamic therapies—approaches that value empathy, self-awareness, and exploration of the connections between past and present. I believe all people have an innate capacity for growth, resilience, and healing when they are met with safety, compassion, and curiosity.

I try every day to be an authentic human who loves and respects the individuality of all other humans. Being a clinical social worker for 25 years, is reflected in my personal values and faith system. My goal is to spread kindness like confetti which has spanned serving in Baltimore, Jacksonville, Atlanta and Eagle County, CO. I have a solution focused mindset, believe in the mind body connection and giving ourselves grace. Life is not always easy and sometimes we need short term professional support, some sunshine, a deep breath, a 20 second hug and some new found eyes on the situation.

"Therapy is a collaborative process, not a one-size-fits-all solution. I view our work together as an active partnership where you are the expert on your own life, and I am here to provide the tools, perspective, and support to help you navigate it.

I strive to bring warmth, active engagement, and an open, non-judgmental presence to every session. Working primarily with young adults and professionals, I recognize the unique pressures of navigating major life transitions, career stress, identity, and complex personal challenges. Whether we are processing past trauma, managing anxiety or depression, or navigating addiction recovery, my goal is to create a grounded, supportive environment where you feel fully heard, respected, and equipped to create meaningful, lasting change."
