Online Therapy in Colorado
You’ve been thinking of starting therapy, but easier said than done. Maybe you live in Denver or Boulder and you don’t have time to sit in traffic trying to get to an appointment.
Or, maybe you may live in small ski towns, like Aspen or Telluride, with fewer therapist options or just prefer attending therapy from the comfort of your own home or office.
Online therapy could be what you’re looking for.
You want specialized therapy tailored to you, but you also need therapy that works with your lifestyle. I get it. Online counseling for women with Well Woman Psychology may be the solution. I am a kind, nonjudgemental online therapist and I specialize in areas important to women such as body image issues, sex therapy, and trauma therapy, as well as reproductive health issues like pregnancy, pregnancy loss, postpartum, and perimenopause. By using secure videoconferencing, I offer effective therapy without the hassle of traveling to an office.
Benefits of online counseling for women in Colorado
Virtual therapy saves you time. You don’t have to worry about navigating beltway traffic during rush hour. Instead, you’re able to pull up my secure platform and join your session from the comfort of your home or office.
Here are some other benefits of online therapy:
Convenience. Besides the increased comfort of choosing where you’d like to attend your online therapy session, online therapy is just plain convenient. It allows you to be more flexible since there is no additional time wasted on office waiting periods or commutes.
Access. Since you aren’t limited to a short radius near you, you are free to see a skilled therapist anywhere in your state. You may live in Denver, Colorado Springs or Aurora, but I can see you from my virtual office. If you’re looking for a therapist with specific expertise, online therapy can make it easier to access them.
Effectiveness. Online therapy is effective, just like in-person therapy. You still have to put in work and energy, but it can and will WORK. Regardless of the format, you and I will still create a strong rapport built on mutual trust and understanding.
Online Counseling for Women for Body Image Issues & Health at Every Size® in Colorado
We only get one body in this thing called life. Therefore, it is important to be as good to our bodies as we possibly can be. We need to treat them with the same respect that we would show to a dear friend, and not let shame and fear interfere with living our best lives.
Online counseling for women can help you learn to build a peaceful relationship with your body, learning helpful new tools and unlearning unhelpful beliefs. I use the Health at Every Size® approach to work with clients, regardless of shape and size, to helps move them toward a more peaceful relationship with their bodies. Using this approach combined with trauma-informed care, fat liberation, Body Trust®, intuitive eating, and a non-diet approach, I offer weight-neutral and weight-inclusive care.
Online Sex Therapy in Coloado
It can be quite hard to talk about issues related to sex and intimacy, but online sex therapy is ideally positioned to help. Many people struggle with sexuality to some degree and most sexual problems are manifestations of other issues that show up in the bedroom. Women are in a bind because we are under so much pressure to be ‘sexually desirable,’ while actual female desire is criticized or considered an afterthought. At Well Woman Psychology, I use effective, compassionate strategies applied to your unique concerns and situations in online sex therapy. (This will never includes touch and always aligns with your values.) All people deserve pleasurable, affirming, connected, sexual experiences.
Online Trauma Therapy in Colorado
Trauma results from experiencing an emotional and/or threatening situation (like sexual assault, child abuse, or a natural disaster) and is a serious public health issue. Additionally, witnessing something terrible counts as a traumatic experience. For example, first responders, parents with a child in the NICU, or children in a home with violence. Women are also disproportionately impacted by trauma. I work with clients to empower them to realize the impact of interpersonal trauma, which is very common. Together in online trauma therapy, we will decide on the best strategies to fit your specific and unique needs and goals. It takes significant bravery to face your trauma head on, but healing is possible.
Virtual EMDR in Colorado
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a treatment developed for trauma and PTSD that has a solid research base showing its effectiveness. What’s more, it can be helpful for a wide range of problems. It stimulates the brain in such a way that the trauma memory can be entirely processed to help get you unstuck. Virtual EMDR is particularly helpful when, intellectually, you know something is true, but it doesn’t feel true (for example, you know you’re safe, but your body reacts as if there is danger). It is also very useful for clients who are too stuck in their own heads. One major difference from other trauma therapies is that it does not require you to talk about your trauma in detail.

Online Therapy for Relationship Issues in Colorado
Everyone comes to their relationships with different experiences, both as an adult and as a child. Sometimes the past can make trust and vulnerability very difficult. It can be hard to stand up for yourself, set boundaries, or share your feelings. No matter if you are looking to create stronger boundaries, better deal with conflict, be more open and authentic in your relationships, or something else, individual relationship therapy can be beneficial. Individual online therapy for relationship issues can help clients improve their ability to effectively manage relationships in a way that feels healthy and satisfying, where each person feels appreciated, respected, and supported. This can include romantic relationships, family relationships, work relationships, and friendships.
Online Counseling for Women Dealing With Infertility
Struggling with fertility is so challenging and sometimes doctors can’t even identify the cause of the struggle. However, science can help many aspiring parents create the family they dream of with Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART). ART encompasses many services including freezing eggs, in vitro fertilization (IVF), intrauterine insemination (IUI), use of donor eggs and/or sperm, and utilizing a surrogate. But, it is not for the faint of heart.
Infertility counseling supports those who are experiencing infertility and helps prepare them for ART. Therapy will develop a plan tailored to you in order to help you cope with the added anxiety, depression, and overwhelm associated with infertility.
Online Therapy for Perimenopause in Colorado
Perimenopause is a powerful time of transition that women and other folks with ovaries are seldom prepared for. And yet, it will affect every corner of your life - relationships, cognitive functioning, emotions, and how you feel in your body. You might be grieving the loss of your reproductive years, even if you wanted to be child-free. Or you might just be struggling with the mood swings, brain fog, and physical symptoms. Or perhaps you just have less patience for other people’s shenanigans! During online therapy for perimenopause, I will be a safe, nonjudgmental advocate to help you sort through your feelings and find effective ways of coping that honor this shift and help you let go of the pressure to shrink yourself, defy aging, and be perfect.
Online Counseling for Women During Pregnancy in Colorado
Pregnancy is both beautiful and hard. It can be a rollercoaster ride and pregnancy is one of the highest risk times for women in terms of mental health. Hormones are running rampant, your body changes every day, and emotions are often charged. It can be especially difficult if you have pregnancy complications, a previous loss, or preexisting anxiety. Additionally, it can be a vulnerable time and hard to advocate for yourself and set boundaries with healthcare providers and family. You deserve compassionate, nonjudgemental support from an online therapist who is familiar with the challenges of pregnancy.
Online Counseling for Postpartum and New Moms in Colorado
Having a baby is a beautiful, life changing event and it is HARD. About 15-20% of new mamas and parents experience postpartum mental health issues like anxiety or depression. Other people end up needing Postpartum PTSD treatment, particularly after a traumatic birth. Unfortunately, many feel shame about these difficulties and may blame themselves or think they should not be a parent. You deserve supportive, judgment-free care from an online therapist who is a mom herself, is experienced with the challenges of postpartum, and with whom you can share all of your conflicting feelings.
Online Therapy for Pregnancy Loss & Miscarriage
Losing a baby in pregnancy is one of the hardest things anyone can go through. No matter if it happens early in the first trimester or because of a complication during birth, it is traumatic and painful. About 1 in 8 pregnancies end in loss, yet it is rarely talked about it openly. Instead, women often hide their pain and just try to press on. As a psychologist, I can help you grieve in a healthy way, at your own pace, and help you make meaning of this senseless loss. I’ll help you learn how to navigate talking about the loss with your partner or support person. And I’ll always be a safe harbor for you to air ALL of your feelings, even the most vulnerable, tender ones. I can provide you with the pregnancy loss and miscarriage support you need so you can heal and move forward.
Does Online Counseling for Women Really Work?
Absolutely! Online counseling really does work and research shows that it is just as effective as in-person therapy for most concerns. It also has the benefit of being more accessible and convenient, which allows clients to participate in therapy where they feel most comfortable. I am able to learn a lot about clients’ emotional states by watching their facial expressions, which I can do in online therapy as easily as I can in person.
