Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Wheat Ridge, CO

Many of the people I work with are high-functioning by every external measure — capable, driven, the one others lean on — while privately carrying anxiety, burnout, shame, or a quiet sense of disconnection from themselves or the people they love. If that's you, you don't need to be told to slow down. You need someone who can help you understand the patterns underneath it and actually change them.

I'm a licensed psychologist with a Ph.D., working with adults and couples. My style is warm and direct: I'll listen closely, and I'll also tell you what I'm seeing. The aim is lasting change — understanding what's been driving the pattern so you can do something different, rather than just managing symptoms.

Clinical experience: 30+ years working with adults, couples, families, adolescents, and children specializing in trauma and co-occurring disorders with an integrative and holistic approach. Graduated from Saybrook University: Doctorate in Transpersonal Psychology (2010); Naropa University: Masters in Transpersonal Counseling Psychology & Art Therapy.

Hi, I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I enjoy helping clients reach their full potential.

With more than 30 years of experience, I've helped individuals navigate anxiety, ADHD, trauma, and life's many transitions with compassion, understanding, and practical support.

I know reaching out for help isn't always easy. My goal is to create a safe, welcoming space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to move toward greater confidence, healing, and peace of mind.

Credentials and Experience

I'm a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma and Colorado, a board-certified counselor (NCC), and hold a PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision - which means I don't just practice therapy, I train and supervise other therapists. That clinical depth shapes everything about how I work with clients.

My specialization is neurocounseling: integrating what we know about the brain and nervous system into practical, grounded therapy. I also hold specialized training in telehealth - so working with you virtually isn't a workaround, it's where I do my best work.

I work with adults navigating anxiety, burnout, trauma, identity, and the particular kind of exhaustion that comes from holding everything together for too long.

I work with creative, self-aware adults navigating anxiety & overthinking, grief, ADHD & other neurodivergence, relationship struggles, and major life transitions and reinvention — people in the middle of real change.

Therapy with me is grounded, direct, and collaborative. We slow down enough to understand what’s happening beneath the surface — and then we figure out how to move you forward.

I have a master's degree in clinical mental health counseling and have worked in inpatient rehab, community mental health, and private practice. And I've had several other careers before this: massage therapist, editor and writer, writing instructor, park ranger, all of which inform how I show up as a therapist.

I am a believer in Dreams. I believe life is short and quality counts. Trauma, Victim Issues, Domestic Violence & Abuse issues are my primary focus. I have been working with Victims and Survivors for over twenty years.

I am curious about your life and how you handle things. I love animals and nature and take a holistic approach to therapy.

I’m Matt Larock and I’m a licensed clinical therapist and a licensed clinical addiction counselor in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. I am trained in Somatic Experiencing trauma treatment and I’m also a certified nature-based coach. In a former life, I owned a 300-seat restaurant for 14 years. I’m no stranger to stress and addiction.

I help my clients navigate the challenges that have had them stuck for just a few months or stuck for over a few decades.

I work with men, women, teens, young adults and parents who want to stop white knuckling their way through life’s difficulties and get the tools to make changes that stick for the long haul.

I help men and women of all ages who have challenges with substance abuse, I help parents of struggling teens and young adults who are navigating how to help their child eventually become a thriving adult. I help young adults heal their past, take responsibility for their future and move forward in a healthy way. And I help all kinds of clients of all ages heal anxiety, trauma, stress and other difficulties.

It’s exhausting to keep trying the old way on the same issues. It’s exhausting to keep spinning your wheels. It’s exhausting to be mired in anxiety and it’s exhausting to let trauma go untreated for years and years.
