Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 1.9 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 • 2.7 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.

Suzanne DeMontigny

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 3.1 mi away • Denver, CO


Difficulties and unresolved trauma from our past can influence our present in ways unknown to us. Our mind is very good at hiding our wounds from itself, and when this occurs, it can hijack our ability to experience life with curiosity, trust, and flexibility. Over the past 25 years of my practice in Colorado, I have found profound meaning in helping clients navigate these unseen hurdles. As a Licensed Professional Counselor who earned my degree from Naropa University, it is a true privilege to help adults, seniors, and couples establish a safe, empowering baseline for their care. I work with clients who are experiencing problems that are typically long-standing, repetitive, and significantly interfering with their life, specializing heavily in trauma, complex PTSD, dissociation, anxiety, and depression. Whether you are living with emotional pain, chronic shame, or disconnection from yourself, I look forward to walking alongside you on your path toward healing, helping you fully embody your true self.

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 Wheat Ridge

Searching for therapists in Wheat Ridge starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want help with. You may be looking for support with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, work stress, or a major life change. As you compare therapists, look for specialties, therapy styles, and experience that fit your needs. A therapist’s bio can show whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy.

Wheat Ridge is a smaller city, so local in-person therapy options may be more limited than in nearby Denver. Virtual appointments can expand your search while keeping your care with a therapist licensed in Colorado. When you review therapists, consider appointment times, whether they are accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand each therapist’s communication style, areas of focus, and what to expect in a first session.

Therapy in Wheat Ridge can be a significant expense 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 find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, check estimated out-of-pocket costs, and book directly when you are ready.

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