Therapy Services

People love to provide advice to others, especially when someone needs help figuring something out. While that’s nice and sometimes helpful, it can feel dismissive and intrusive and sometimes just annoying. What works for one person, may not work for you and the same is true for therapy. 

At Denver Metro Counseling, our therapists are trained in multiple, complementary therapeutic modalities and we use approaches that best meet your needs based on:

• Personality Preference
• Presenting Concerns
• Changes You Want To Make
• Time You Have To Commit To Therapy And Your Availability
• Your Preferred Modality

Together, you and your therapist can talk about modalities they use and what  might work best for you. 

How To Choose A Therapist

Regardless of the modality your therapist uses, at Denver Metro Counseling, we take what is known as a trauma-informed approach to therapy.

What is a trauma-informed approach to therapy?

A trauma-informed approach to therapy is an overall approach to therapy rather than a modality. Instead of taking a “What’s wrong with you?” approach, we take a “What happened to you approach?” re-writing the stories you and others have written about you.

• We take time to hear your story and what has been helpful and what has been hurtful along your path to healing.
• We understand that sharing your story can be scary and traumatizing in itself and take care in not pushing you to open up too quickly.
• We meet you where you are and work together from there.

While our overarching approach to therapy is trauma-informed, our clinicians also have advanced training in a variety of evidence-based therapeutic modalities.
