Welcome to Center for Higher Consciousness! ​We offer psychotherapy and counseling services that address and treat, yet go beyond, mental health concerns. Counselors at the Center are committed to helping you foster psychological wellbeing, improved life functionality, insightful self-awareness, and personal and spiritual growth. Practitioners at the Center balance and integrate Eastern wisdom traditions with traditional and contemporary Western psychology in their treatment approaches. We value and facilitate the mind-body connection. We blend a supportive kind of therapy that deeply listens and understands with gentle intervention that challenges dysfunctional thoughts and behaviors, self-destructive tendencies, and limiting beliefs. We primarily offer counseling for adult individuals who are ready to self-inquire, heal, grow, and deepen their spiritual lives in order to resolve their difficulties and psychological distress. We also offer services for couples as well as run Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) skills-based groups and related groups that teach and facilitate mindfulness. Center for Higher Consciousness offers in-office appointments at our office location in Centennial, Colorado, as well as telehealth services and is increasingly involved with creating digital resources and integrating support, psychoeducation, and access to personal growth and psychological development across virtual platforms.

I am a mindfulness-based trauma and addiction psychotherapist in clinical practice for almost two decades.  My style is relational and attachment-oriented, pulling from psychodynamic theory. I also strongly ascribe to both behavioral and spiritual modalities that emphasize the importance of cultivating connection to Self, others, and the world around us. In addition, I am most passionate about "bottom-up" approaches, which emphasize the mind-body connection as it relates to somatic embodiment and polyvagal theory. I show up with curiosity and gentle inquiry to join in the process that unfolds. I hold a lot of gratitude to be a witness to so many tender and courageous stories, believing my clients have been the most profound teachers. I am credentialed as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), Licensed Addiction Counselor (LAC) and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP II). I have provided individual and group psychotherapy in a variety of settings (inpatient psychiatric hospitals, residential treatment programs, outpatient clinics) before opening my own practice. This has included program development and implementation, helping to create evidenced-based, safe, and effective containers for clients and clinicians alike to do their best work. I am so grateful to have cultivated a truly rich set of clinical experiences, learning best from all the people I've had the absolute honor to work with. I've witnessed such incredible transformation! Beyond micro-level clinical work, I love supervising and providing consultation for clinicians as an Approved Clinical Supervisor (ACS) and facilitating organizational trainings or in-services. I also provide field practicum supervision for students and am an adjunct faculty within the Graduate School of Social Work at the University of Denver.

I utilize evidenced based interventions from both acceptance and commitment therapy and trauma-informed care principles in my practice. I graduated in 2017 from the University of Denver with my Masters in Social Work and have been providing both inpatient and outpatient treatment since that time. My education and both, personal and professional experiences have allowed me to develop skills to work with diverse, often marginalized populations, such as members of the LGBTQIA+ population or those where English is not their first language. My specialities for work center around severe mental illnesses, such as: schizophrenia and other thought disorders, mood disorders, and anxiety disorders. Typically clients I work with have the above noted challenges, but have also experienced other stressors in their relationships, employment, and/or with addiction(s) of some kind.

Amy brings a warm, compassionate, and calm energy to each patient interaction. As a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, she strives to provide a caring relationship where each person can feel safe and accepted. Research increasingly supports an integrative approach to mental health care, which can include medication, therapy, nutritional support, and exploration of habits, history, and stressors. Amy will collaborate with you to find a treatment plan that is clinically appropriate and sensitive to your personal needs. She welcomes all patients but has special interest in perinatal mental health, mood disorders, ADHD, and working with teens, LGBTQ+ individuals and older adults. Amy graduated with a master’s degree in nursing from Regis University in Denver and was inspired to choose mental health as her practice specialty. Her graduate level psychiatric clinical training provided opportunities to work with diverse patient populations in and out of the hospital setting, in a corrections facility and at an outpatient addiction treatment center. Most recently, she worked at a small private outpatient clinic supporting clients experiencing a wide variety of mental health diagnoses. As a registered nurse, she worked for 16 years at St. Joseph Hospital caring for patients after surgery, during and after high-risk pregnancy, and caring for families experiencing fetal loss. She obtained certification in maternal-newborn and pain management nursing born out of passion and experience in these areas. In her free time, Amy enjoys playing flute in the Lone Tree Symphony, attending film festivals, traveling, hiking and being with family and friends. She is accepting new patients and provides visits both in person at the Lakewood office and via telehealth.

Hi there, I'm Lindsey! I help healers and caregivers who feel overwhelmed and not enough to feel appreciated, grounded, and confident by supporting deep self-reflection and boundaries. Many of my clients are students, teachers, social workers, therapists, nurses, and therapists, or they care for a loved one such as a partner, child, or parent. People who care for others often feel overwhelmed, anxious, not enough, and resentful because their needs aren't being met. Together, we can work to reduce your feeling of being overwhelmed, set healthy boundaries, and make you feel better.

Are you a young adult struggling with depression or anxiety? Are you finding it hard to adapt to the academic demands and new social situations of college, and finding yourself feeling lonely, isolated, or overwhelmed? If so, I think I can help you chart a course that will help you feel better, less alone, and more connected. Adapting to life at college and planning for adulthood pose many challenges and leave some young adults feeling adrift and confused. There are many new situations to navigate whether they be how to make friends, how to balance academics with extracurriculars, or how to date and find connection. I have worked with college students and young adults for over 10 years to help them find their path, understand themselves, and deal effectively with their emotional struggles. Together, we will seek to understand what it is that troubles you and develop ways to productively deal with these difficulties. Therapy is, at its core, a relationship built on trust that focuses on helping you gain a better understanding of yourself so that you can better navigate your feelings, challenge your fears, and live a full life. I hope that we can work together to help you find your way.

I look forward to meeting you, hearing your story , and making sense of all that ails you. I feel that medications can provide relief for biological psychiatric conditions, but most of the long term relief comes from working through and reworking unhealthy behavioral patterns. Treating Psychiatric conditions is an art that requires balancing the medical treatments with looking at unconscious maladaptive behaviors. Once patterns are identified, the work we do will lead to change. I take the approach of meeting clients where they are at and working together in a relational model to reprocess and work through trauma. I have 25 years of experience treating all psychiatric conditions in men and women across the lifespan. I have specialized in women's issues, including mood disorders at the onset of menses, eating disorders, medication management during pregnancy, grief issues around infertility, menopause, and trauma. I enjoy working with clients who have struggled to get optimal treatment. My approach is to get to know you, your developmental history, and current life stressors. I also assess biologic contributors and genetics. This combined understanding of you can guide more effective treatment recommendations.

I have been a licensed psychologist for the last 27 years. I work from Psychodynamic (self-psychology/intersubjective/relational), Cognitive-Behavioral, and Systems perspectives, all of which I consider integral to effective work with clients. I also am certified in Therapeutic Assessment, which is using psychological testing to help clients get unstuck and to achieve the insights they seek (therapeuticassessment.com). In addition to my private practice, I was Clinical Professor in the Graduate School of Professional Psychology at the University of Denver for the past 25 years. I retired from the university at the end of 2023 with the Emeritus distinction.

I utilize Internal Family Systems (IFS) as my primary modality. IFS provides an opportunity to look inside yourself and learn why you do the things you do, think the way you think, and how all the parts of you work together. You will learn how to listen to, and learn from, those nagging voices in your head. Once we start listening and learning, a depth of understanding will occur that allows for healing of wounds and releasing of inaccurate beliefs about yourself.

Hi my name is Lucinda and I work with traditional, non-traditional, and first-generation students who are struggling with adjusting to college life, anxiety, significant life transitions, and grief/loss. Becoming a therapist is my second career. I graduated from MSU Denver with my Masters of Social Work and I'm a Clinical Social Work Candidate working towards full licensure as an LCSW. My first career was working in higher education for 14 years, mostly as an Academic Advisor. I understand how difficult it can be to attend college right out of high school or going back after a long break. It can be stressful. I want to help you navigate the uncertainties that life will throw your way while in school, while at the same time being able to be successful in achieving your academic and life goals. Let's connect and see how I can help you overcome anything that may be holding you back from the life you deserve.

Based in Colorado, we work with many individuals who love the outdoors. Mountain climbing and other popular outdoor activities come with inherent risks, but we accept those risk to live a full life. Climbers must focus upward to calm their nerves, often relying on others to help them advance effectively and safely. Just take it one rock at a time and trust your body. Similar to climbing a mountain, in therapy you choose to take a risk; inviting someone else to join your climbing team to help you along the way. The Focus Upward team are here to help support your climb with mental health and wellbeing services.

I offer a welcoming, down-to-earth space where children, teens, and adults can show up just as they are. My approach is open, collaborative, and person-centered—because I believe therapy should feel like a safe space to explore, heal, and grow at your own pace. Whether you're navigating anxiety, life transitions, emotional overwhelm, or something that’s hard to name, I’m here to meet you with curiosity, compassion, and respect. I draw from a variety of evidence-based approaches including Play Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotion-Focused Therapy, and Reality Therapy. I also take a trauma-informed lens into every session, tailoring my approach to meet each client’s unique needs and lived experiences.

College can be a great time, but it can also be a really hard time. I love getting to sit with clients in some of the hardest places in their life, so that they can move to healthier places. I don't promise this is quick or easy, but it is 100% possible. I always offer a free 15 minute consultation to see if I would be a good fit for you therapeutically, so please reach out!
