Top family therapists in Denver, CO
Denver families face unique challenges navigating parenting, relationships, and life transitions. Headway's network of warm, solution-oriented providers specializes in family dynamics, attachment repair, and communication skills to help your household thrive.
Do you find yourself constantly second guessing your decisions, feeling anxious more often than not, or struggling to feel truly content in your own life? Maybe stress has taken over, relationships feel harder than they should, or you're quietly battling low self esteem and self doubt. If any of this sounds familiar, you're not alone, and you don't have to figure it out by yourself.
I work with adults navigating anxiety, chronic stress, relationship difficulties, self esteem struggles, and that persistent feeling of not being at peace with themselves. My approach starts with genuinely getting to know you as a person, not just a set of symptoms. Before we talk about treatment plans, I want to understand your story, what's weighing on you, and what a better life looks like for you.
In addition to my work with adults, I specialize in treating ADHD, Autism, and Anxiety in children and teens.
I have been a therapist in the Denver Metro area since 1994. I take a holistic, person-centered approach, integrating various modalities to meet the unique needs of each individual and I consider it an honor to learn about you and to support your goals. I focus on your strengths-based goals and encourage you to move at your own pace to keep up a life long journey toward better health and self care.

🌄 A Tale of Two States: From Colorado to Texas
I'm a proud product of two distinct states: I spent my formative years growing up in Colorado before a major shift landed me in Pflugerville, Texas, as a high school junior.
That move—especially navigating a new culture and community during those challenging teenage years—was a profound adjustment period. It was this early, personal experience with transition and change that fundamentally shaped my path and inspired me to choose counseling as my career. Now, I carry the influence of both states with me.
I’m Anushka Fernando, LPC, licensed in Wisconsin, Texas, and Colorado. I help individuals and couples with anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship concerns, offering both online therapy and in-person sessions. My approach combines evidence-based strategies with mindfulness and compassion. I have a special passion for supporting immigrants and first-generation clients in balancing cultural values with personal growth.
Reaching out for therapy can take courage, especially if you’re used to handling things on your own. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor and Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC) with nearly a decade of clinical experience in inpatient behavioral health. I focus on depression and bipolar mood concerns, anxiety, ADHD, and life stressors.
I'm a gentle and insightful therapist with an approach that is effective, impacting, and can help you bring about change and transformation in your life and relationships

Headway makes it easier to find family-focused support — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Family Therapist in Denver
Finding family therapists in Denver starts with understanding what your family wants support with. Family therapy often focuses on parenting conflict, adolescent struggles, blended family dynamics, divorce-related changes, co-parenting, and communication across generations. Licensed marriage and family therapists are trained to work with the relational system, not just one person. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties and training that match your needs, such as family systems therapy, attachment-focused work, co-parenting support, or experience with family divorce counseling.
Denver has many therapy options across neighborhoods like Capitol Hill, Cherry Creek, Highlands, and Washington Park, which can make it harder to narrow the search. Consider whether in-person sessions near home, work, school, or transit fit your schedule, or whether virtual appointments make it easier for more family members to attend. Family therapy may include the full family, caregivers and children, co-parents, siblings, or individual members at different points. Before booking, read therapist bios to see how they describe session structure, communication style, scheduling availability, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.
Family therapy in Denver can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for therapists who are accepting new patients, review estimated out-of-pocket costs after you enter your insurance details, and compare profiles in one place. You can browse family counselors in Denver, review bios, and book directly when you are ready.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
