Hi! I'm, Justin Landen. I am a licensed therapist in Colorado.

Hey, I'm Wes — and I'm glad you've landed here. I specialize in working with people (13+) and families. If you're having trouble navigating conflict, self-defeating behaviors, anxiety, depression, stress, anger, loneliness, relationship issues, low self-esteem, or questions of identity, I recommend you reach out. Through my practice, I've successfully helped clients move past issues that have blocked them from living fully, completely, and whole-heartedly. While working with me, they've been able to find more joy, happiness, success, and peace in the areas of their life that matter most to them. In addition to my private practice, I work full-time as a clinician on the Family Services Outpatient team at Jefferson Center for Mental Health, where I see a similar population every day. This isn't a side interest — it's my focus. It's work that fulfills and invigorates me.
Hi! I'm a light hearted and open-minded therapist who enjoys bringing a sense of humor and warmth to my practice. Alongside my therapy dog, Remy, I work with a wide variety of clients, helping them navigate relationship issues, trauma, PTSD, depression, anxiety, and more. Together, Remy and I create a safe and supportive environment where you can explore your challenges and find healing.
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.
I'm a licensed therapist dedicated to supporting WOMEN, CHILDREN, ADOLESCENTS, and COUPLES through life’s challenges. Whether you're navigating depression, anxiety, PTSD, chronic stress, or emotional pain, you're not alone—and healing is possible.
My approach is compassionate, evidence-based, and tailored to your unique needs. I work with clients on a range of concerns, including emotional self-regulation, life transitions, trauma recovery, and the everyday difficulties that can feel overwhelming.
Therapy is a space for growth, understanding, and healing. Whether you're seeking support for yourself or a loved one, I’m here to help you move forward with strength and clarity.
Let’s begin the journey together.
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.

I'm a Colorado native who loves the outdoors, travel, dabbling in the arts, and spending time with those I love. Sometimes, I am blissfully content just curling up with my geriatric cat and a good movie.
My name is Shannon Hansen, MS, LMFT. I work with adult individuals, couples, and a variety of relational dynamics, offering a warm, compassionate yet unconventional therapy environment. In addition to teletherapy, I offer equine assisted psychotherapy and nature-based therapy for those who are wanting a more engaging therapeutic experience. I love offering a safe space to metaphorically, and literally, get messy in the deep dive of gaining a better understanding of the human experience. With the support of myself, the animals, and many other beings of the natural world, together we will dive in and emerge with the resources and understanding that will help you thrive in life and relationships.
Hi, I’m Denae! As a therapist who lives in the neurodivergent world myself, I believe therapy should be both real and lighthearted. With over a decade in behavioral health and dual licenses in counseling and addictions, I bring both clinical training and personal experience. I hold a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Regis University. My goal is to create a safe space where you can show up authentically, free from judgment, with a touch of humor along the way.
I help highly sensitive persons navigate the stressors and challenges in the world to find their authentic self and a life worth embracing. Do you think deeply about the world, yourself, and those around you? Do you experience a profound sense of empathy, feeling more deeply than most people around you? Do you find challenges in communicating your inner most thoughts and feelings with others? Do feel lost and want to find a way to get back on track? I am here to guide you on your journey.
Hello! I am happy for you in taking the first step to seek support. Whatever it may be for. I am available to meet for a free 30-minute consultation to see if this would be a good fit and to share what therapy with me would look like.
