ADHD therapists and psychiatrists in Lafayette, CO

Hi. My name is Melinda. I have been working in the field of Mental Health and Substance Use/Abuse since 2005. I have been trained and offer resources for CBT, DBT, Solution-Focused, Mindfulness, Trauma-informed and many other styles of therapy.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with teenagers and older and I believe that the therapeutic relationship is vital to the success of therapy. I have years of experience working with children, teenagers and young adults, focusing on anxiety, depression, ADHD, and trauma. My approach is to be open-minded, compassionate, supportive and encouraging with an end goal to help you develop the coping skills or address the issue to be able to navigate life to its fullest. My goal is to challenge you while offering a non-judgmental space for you to process feelings and discover your inner self.

I earned my graduate degree in Social Work at the University of South Carolina and my undergraduate at Iowa State University in Child Adult and Family Studies and Psychology. My background includes years in settings working with at-risk youth, school social work and more recently in person at an equine therapy agency working with teenagers and adults. All of these experiences have shaped how I view mental health and how important it is to treat the whole person.

Hi, I'm Tim and I've been in the counseling field for the past 6 years now, where I have worked in various settings helping individuals parcel out what's going on for them at that given moment. What I have come to learn during these past 6 years is to listen for what might be the underlying factors that are causing disruption or consequences in one's life. My training has allowed me to develop this approach through existential, humanistic, and behavioral psychology models. We have a lot going on and things get enmeshed in our lives. I'm here to listen.

My therapeutic approach is open and straightforward. I use only scientifically-based methods, years of experience and customized techniques, to match your specific needs.

My style is direct, encouraging, culturally informed, creative and trauma trained.

My practice specializes in:

• Individuals with family histories of trauma, abuse, addiction, and abandonment
• Couples hoping to improve their relationships
• Parents striving to do their best

I have over 20 years of experience, I have extensive experience and training in the treatment of- anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, divorce, parenting issues, adoption, LGBT issues, play therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, family systems therapy, solutions focused therapy, pilot/aviation specific concerns, spiritually inclusive practice, perimenopausal/menopausal support and more!

My goal is to assist you through integrative, lifestyle, and medication management combined with the internal strengths you possess to assist in guiding you through this journey we call life.

Welcome! I’m Ramon, a Drama Therapist supporting children, adults, and families. I believe creative arts offer a deeper language when words aren’t enough. No artistic skills are needed; we simply use play and metaphor to explore challenges from a comfortable distance. Children process emotions through play, adults bypass the analytical mind for authentic expression, and families discover new ways of connecting. My approach is evidence-based and open-minded, providing a judgment-free space to explore your experiences at your own pace.

¡Bienvenidos! Soy Ramón, dramaterapeuta. Acompaño a niños, adultos y familias usando las artes creativas como un lenguaje profundo cuando las palabras no bastan. No hace falta ser artista; usamos el juego y la metáfora para explorar desafíos con comodidad. Los niños procesan emociones jugando, los adultos conectan con su expresión auténtica y las familias descubren nuevas formas de vincularse. Mi enfoque se basa en la evidencia y en una mente abierta, ofreciendo un espacio sin juicios para explorar tus experiencias a tu propio ritmo.

Although my degree is in Mental Health Counseling, my treatment method is psychoanalysis. This means that each treatment is developed and conducted for the client in question, their specific issues and inquiries they have about their own symptom.

Psychoanalysis emphasizes on guiding individuals in finding their own resources, gaining a knowledge about what is happing to them and the cause of their distress.

Many of the solutions we seek are already inside of us. They can be hard to find, but it is possible. Using talk therapy and emotional regulation skills, we’ll work together to identify goals and practices that fit with the life you’re eager to live. I will provide compassionate, steady support as you navigate anxiety, depression, family or relationship challenges, recovery from addiction, and the impacts of ADHD.

I tailor therapy to meet your individual needs and always consider cultural and social context. I also collaborate with other therapists to offer educational and support groups several times a year. Using a combination of physical, emotional, and cognitive tools, we’ll work to improve daily functioning, strengthen coping skills, and increase the joy and ease in your life.

I earned my Master’s in Counseling from Regis University, and I work with adults across a variety of life stages and transitions.

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.
