Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Black Forest, CO.

Anxiety doesn’t just show up as worry. It can look like overthinking, trouble making decisions, difficulty relaxing, or feeling like your mind won’t shut off. You might be exhausted from trying to manage it all and still feel behind. In therapy, I’ll help you slow things down, notice what’s happening inside, and separate real needs from old patterns. Together, we’ll work on building a more grounded relationship with yourself so your nervous system doesn’t stay stuck in overdrive. Change starts by getting clear on what’s running the show.

As a high-achieving man, anxiety and stress comes with the territory. And you wouldn’t be where you are today in life unless you’ve handled it pretty well until now. But most successful men find that anxiety eventually impacts them. Whether it’s slowly been eating at you for years, or you’ve just experienced your first panic attack, you’re not going crazy. There are solutions, and this can get better. I help men learn practical stress-management techniques, but I don’t stop there. I also help them identify the root causes of their stress and anxiety, and use research-proven EMDR therapy to systematically target them. The results are measurable, evidenced by deeper calm and clarity of mind.

How much is your anxiety costing you? Individuals who suffer from anxiety and chronic stress are less productive at work and are more likely to call in sick. They are 3-5 times more likely to go to the doctor as anxiety often feels like physical illness. Their relationships with family and friends suffer or are sometimes cut off completely. Counseling is the single most effective treatment for anxiety and stress, and the benefits begin immediately. Call today to get started: (970) 227-2770.

Anxiety is the body’s alarm system working overtime. My approach blends mindfulness and somatic regulation to help your nervous system discern real threat from old conditioning. Instead of managing symptoms, we teach your body how to stand down. As you learn to notice without bracing, your body recalibrates. Over time, anxiety becomes less of an enemy and more of a message that no longer needs to shout. The goal isn’t to eliminate anxiety, but rather to build a steadier baseline where calm feels safe again.

Lao Tzu said, "If you're anxious, it's because you're living in the future. If you're at peace, it's because you're living in the present." Often anxiety looks like leaving the present moment and projecting into the future, trying to think 10 steps ahead about things that haven't happened yet. This future thinking leads to stress in the present. I teach clients how to tune into their emotions (including anxiety), their bodies (as an anchor to the present moment) and move through anxiety as it arises using their breath. Anxiety and stress don't have to run your life. I'm here to support you in regulating your anxiety and stress by staying with yourself in the present moment.

While most treatment approaches for anxiety and stress are effective on the surface, they don’t treat the real problem. Mantras, deep breathing, and rational dialogues about your fear being irrational rarely work---for most people don’t believe it or you! Imagine if you can trick the brain into changing without you telling your conscious mind that you are changing it? Problem with anxiety and stress is that the brain in this state knows you want to change it and it resists.
