Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 11 mi away • Denver, CO


Hi, I’m Genevieve. I support people navigating big life transitions — especially athletes moving beyond their sport — as well as individuals dealing with addiction, substance use, or feeling disconnected from who they are or where they’re headed. My style is warm, collaborative, and grounded in practical tools. I bring curiosity, compassion, and a bit of humor to our work, helping you understand your patterns, make sense of your emotions, and move through change with more clarity and confidence. My goal is to create a space where you don’t have to perform — you can show up exactly as you are, and we’ll navigate the next steps together.

Nicole Schoch

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 11 mi away • Lafayette, CO


There is often a version of your life where you could carry it all, and lately the same days can leave you exhausted, numb, or quietly overwhelmed. I work with adults navigating substance misuse and recovery, compulsive behaviors, anxiety, chronic stress, and burnout, along with the shifts of perimenopause and menopause. Many of the people I see are incredibly capable on the outside, yet feel depleted underneath. The patterns that bring us to therapy, whether perfectionism, overthinking, or self criticism, usually began as ways to cope and feel safe.

Amber Brown

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 18 mi away • Greenwood Village, CO


I specialize in working with women who feel stuck in patterns such as people-pleasing, overthinking, perfectionism, difficulty setting boundaries, or feeling disconnected from themselves. These patterns are often rooted in developmental and relational trauma and can continue to impact relationships, self-worth, and emotional well-being. My approach is integrative and trauma-informed, drawing from EMDR, Brainspotting, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help clients heal at the root of their struggles.

William Pryor

Therapist

In-person • 7.7 mi away • Denver, CO


I have been in practice over 20 years. As a young man struggling with depression and anxiety, therapy saved my life. My lifes purpose is to pay back the favor and help those who continue to suffer. I have extensive experience with chronic pain, PTSD, depression, anxiety, and relationships.

I work with every client as a unique individual. Rather than looking at what is “wrong” with a client, I focus on the inherent health of the individual. I believe many behaviors, feelings, and styles were at one point a healthy and creative adjustment to a difficult situation. I assist people in developing awareness around this process and empower them to make new choices that may serve them better.

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 Therapist in Thornton

Searching for therapists in Thornton starts with finding the right fit for the kind of support you want. People look for therapy for many reasons, including anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, stress, and trauma. As you compare therapists, look for training, specialties, and approaches that match your needs. A therapist’s profile can help you understand whether they use methods like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy.

Thornton is a smaller city, so local in-person options may be more limited depending on your schedule, neighborhood, and preferences. Virtual therapy can expand your options across Colorado while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in the state. When narrowing your search, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios before you book can also help you compare communication style, areas of focus, and what a first session may include.

Therapy in Thornton can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your benefits, and see an estimated cost before booking. You can browse therapists, review profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.

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