I have experience working with clients across the life-span on a number of issues including life transitions, anxiety, depression, LGBTQ+ concerns, etc. I specialize in grief/loss and suicidality as these are topics that I feel often get pushed to the side. I especially enjoy working with teens and folks in the LGBTQ+ community.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 6.1 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.

Jeannie Cole

Jeannie Cole

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 7.4 mi away • Arvada, CO


Many of the people I work with are going through some kind of transition.

Sometimes that looks like anxiety that’s getting harder to manage, feeling stuck in the same patterns, or navigating changes in relationships, identity, or life direction. Other times it’s grief, stress, or a sense that something just isn’t working the way it used to.

You might find yourself overthinking, shutting down, or reacting in ways that don’t quite make sense, even to you. You may understand things logically, but still feel stuck emotionally.

My background is in clinical mental health counseling, and my work is grounded in approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). I also have advanced training in working with relationship dynamics, which often show up even in individual therapy.

Before becoming a therapist, I worked as a journalist. That still shapes how I work today. I pay close attention, listen for patterns, and help you make sense of your story in a way that feels clear, grounded, and meaningful.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Golden, CO

Searching for therapists in Golden starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want help with. Therapists may support people living with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, grief, work stress, or major life transitions. As you compare Golden therapy options, look for specialties and approaches that fit your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, or eye movement desensitization and reprocessing. A therapist’s profile can also show how they structure sessions and what kinds of concerns they focus on.

Golden is a smaller city, so local appointment options may vary by neighborhood, schedule, and office location. You may find therapists near Downtown Golden, South Golden, or North Golden, while virtual appointments can expand your options across Colorado. When comparing Golden counseling services, consider whether the therapist is accepting new clients, offers times that fit your calendar, provides in-person or virtual sessions, and offers a free phone consultation. Reading bios before booking can help you understand each therapist’s communication style, background, and approach to care.

Therapy in Golden can be expensive 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 accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your benefits, and see an estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. You can browse therapists in Golden, review profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
