“I help people build lives—and careers—worth living.” I specialize in guiding clients through emotional intensity, identity disruption, and vocational misalignment. My approach blends DBT and Career Construction Theory with Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, and evidence-based modalities rooted in meaning-making and personal agency.
Whether you're a teen navigating emotional intensity, an LGBTQ+ individual reclaiming identity amidst cultural stress, or a professional seeking to realign purpose, I offer a structured and symbolic space for change. Together, we illuminate archetypal patterns, deconstruct inherited narratives, and build lives anchored in values, clarity, and psychological flexibility.
I provide a safe, affirming space for folks experiencing trauma, bipolar, psychosis, depression, identity exploration, and spiritual awakening. My approach is relational, collaborative, and rooted in deep respect for your lived experience. Together, we go beneath the surface, using mind-body awareness and the wisdom held in your nervous system as a doorway to what words alone can’t always reach. We move safely toward what’s been difficult to express, noticing how emotions live in the body and letting that awareness guide the healing, so you can begin to feel lighter and move through life with a greater sense of freedom.
I often say “we” when talking to clients because I’ve lived through many of the circumstances they find themselves in . I know they need information to better understand what they are dealing with . Additionally , I believe they need empathy and patience as they move forward toward the best days of their lives .
I’m known for creating a supportive space where clients don’t have to have everything figured out. I work especially well with people who are used to being capable, independent, and “holding it all together,” but are finding themselves overwhelmed, burned out, disconnected, or unsure of what comes next.
Originally from the East Coast and now in Colorado, I bring a blend of East Coast directness and Colorado’s appreciation for the outdoors, movement, and personal growth. My goal is to help you reconnect with yourself, build a stronger sense of identity, and feel empowered to take on life’s challenges.
With more than 30 years of experience, I've helped individuals navigate anxiety, ADHD, trauma, and life's many transitions with compassion, understanding, and practical support.
I know reaching out for help isn't always easy. My goal is to create a safe, welcoming space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to move toward greater confidence, healing, and peace of mind.
Many of the people I work with are high-functioning by every external measure — capable, driven, the one others lean on — while privately carrying anxiety, burnout, shame, or a quiet sense of disconnection from themselves or the people they love. If that's you, you don't need to be told to slow down. You need someone who can help you understand the patterns underneath it and actually change them.
I'm a licensed psychologist with a Ph.D., working with adults and couples. My style is warm and direct: I'll listen closely, and I'll also tell you what I'm seeing. The aim is lasting change — understanding what's been driving the pattern so you can do something different, rather than just managing symptoms.
I have been a Marriage and Family Therapist for 20 years. I am trained and experienced in several modalities including EMDR, mindfulness, Family Systems, Imago, the principles of Interpersonal Neurobiology and early attachment. It has been a profound privilege being on this journey with others. Participating in a process where others dive deep into their vulnerable truth, has given my life great meaning. I've been called to provide a space for others to be seen, heard, and known in the midst of their feelings of shame, guilt, fear, inadequacy, unworthiness, and vulnerability and through their experience of being more truly known be reminded of their profound value and worthiness
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and have been living in Colorado since 2005. I have a Master's of Science degree in Counseling with an emphasis on Marriage, Family, and Child Therapy. I specialize in working with children, teens, and young adults who have experienced trauma, struggle with anxiety and/or depression symptoms, grief, self-esteem, and relationship issues.
I’m Kirt Baab, a licensed clinical social worker, and for over thirty years my work has centered on what matters most to the people I meet: finding real relief from suffering. Whatever you’re carrying right now, you’ve found a caring and experienced place to start. My hope is to help you feel lighter, steadier, and more like yourself again. Wherever you are in your journey, you don’t have to figure it out alone, and I’d be honored to walk alongside you.
Hello, I am Richard. It is important to me to attend to clients at a deep level.

Headway makes it easy to find support for your relationship — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Couples Therapist in Denver
Finding couples therapists in Denver starts with naming what you want to work on together. Couples therapy, marriage counseling, and relationship counseling can support partners with communication patterns, recurring conflict, trust after infidelity, major life changes, and parenting disagreements. Not all therapists have specific training in couples work, so it helps to look for licensed marriage and family therapists or therapists who list approaches like the Gottman Method or Emotionally Focused Therapy in their profiles.
Denver has many options for couples therapy, from central neighborhoods to surrounding areas across the metro. That range can make it harder to find one therapist who fits both partners’ needs, schedules, and preferences. Consider whether in-person sessions near home, work, or transit make sense, or whether virtual appointments offer more flexibility for both calendars. Before booking, read therapist bios for details on communication style, session structure, couples training, and whether they offer a brief consultation to assess fit.
Couples therapy in Denver can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before your first appointment. Headway helps you compare therapists who are accepting new patients, review detailed profiles, check insurance, see estimated out-of-pocket costs, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
