Dr. Desiree Del Monte, ThD

“Change your thoughts and you change your world.”  ----Norman Vincent Peale.

Desiree’s professional academics include a doctorate in Theology from Holos University Graduate Seminary, Fair Grove, Missouri.  Under the tutelage and supervision of  Dr. C. Norman Shealy, M.D., Ph.D., she conducted the first randomized, controlled 6-month clinical study of the effects of Nutrienergetics Systems (NES) on stress. 

Interested in the energetic and transpersonal aspects of the person, her other coursework included therapies used to address siginficant emotional, mental, and spiritual counseling techniques to shift life’s bumps in the road.  Ordained as a minister with the International Science of Mind Church for Spiritual Healing, Dr. DelMonte sees a variety of clients for myriad issues, compassionately and prudently providing spiritual support.

Desiree is currently enrolled in the Colorado School for Family Therapy for licensure as a marriage and family therapist (LMFT), certified addictions counselor (CAC).  Proficient in EMDR therapy, sandplay, art therapy, and regression therapy, she continues to add to the tools and techniques in her repertoire in order to truly provide the best in counseling and psychotherapy.  

As a child and family investigator (CFI), a role prescribed in Colorado statutes that requires a judicial order of appointment Dr. DelMonte is especially adept at thoroughly investigating and making  recommendations to the Court in the areas of Parenting Time and Parental Responsibility.

Working in the corporate environment for over 29 years, Desiree has attained a number of professional certificates which include Project Management Professional (PMP), ITIL Foundations Certification, Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE) and Microst Certified Trainer (MCT).  As a retired U.S. Navy veteran, Desiree has extensive experience with people from diverse cultures and ethnic backgrounds and has provided counseling and guidance to persons of all ages and religious backgrounds. 

For most of us, change is not easy.  We live in the patterns we’ve created and find comfort in the familiar, no matter how difficult or dysfunctional.  Desiree decided to become a psychotherapist because she felt that she could help facilitate change in people’s lives, mixing both traditional therapy with complementary therapy to provide clients with the tools to grow.
