Individual therapy

Individual counseling is a process through which clients engage in one-⁠on-⁠one sessions with a licensed therapist in a safe, caring, and confidential environment. Sessions allow you to explore your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, work through challenging experiences, enhance your understanding of yourself and others, set personal goals, and strive for meaningful change. Psychological testing may also be used to tailor the counseling experience to your circumstances.

EMDR: Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing

Often our brains can get "stuck" in experiences, memories, thoughts, or feelings. Since the experience is locked in our mind, it continues to be triggered whenever a reminder comes up, which can lead to discomfort and negative emotions that we can't seem to control. EMDR therapy helps your brain process these experiences.

EMDR is similar to trigger point massage therapy. Just as areas of our muscles can become locked or knotted, EMDR focuses on the "knot" in the brain. By using stimuli like eye movements, tactile sensations, or auditory stimulation, we can facilitate release and promote natural healing.

Couples counseling

The purpose of couples therapy is to restore a better level of functioning in couples who experience relationship distress. Therapy focuses on identifying dissatisfaction and distress within the relationship and developing a treatment plan with clear objectives. Couples therapy is particularly beneficial for those facing intimacy, sexual, and communication difficulties.

NuCalm®

NuCalm is a clinical system designed to help your mind and body relax naturally within minutes. Developed by neuroscientist Dr. Blake Holloway, NuCalm combines three therapies that promote parasympathetic nervous system dominance. A balanced autonomic nervous system can improve mood, sleep quality, and energy, and decrease stress hormone production. A 60-⁠minute session is $100. Learn more about NuCalm.

Our approach

We take an evidence-⁠based approach that integrates principles from cognitive-⁠behavioral therapy, interpersonal process, and mindfulness. We honor the complexity of being human. Identity, relationships, stress, physical health, and life transitions all play a part, and we support clients in building self-⁠awareness, self-⁠compassion, and sustainable motivation.

Therapy questions

What kinds of concerns do you help with?

Our therapists work with teens and adults on depression, anxiety, eating disorders and body image, challenges at school or work, relationship problems, trauma, grief, identity, and cultural stress. All of our clinicians offer LGBTQIA+ affirming care.

What happens at the first appointment?

Your first appointment is a diagnostic assessment, or intake. Your therapist will learn about your history, current concerns, and goals, and together you will make a plan for therapy.

How do I know which therapist is right for me?

When you submit a therapy inquiry, the office will talk with you about your concerns, goals, and insurance, and help match you with the right provider. You can also read about each clinician on Our Team.

How often are therapy sessions, and for how long?

Sessions typically last 45 to 60 minutes and occur every 1 to 2 weeks. Goals can often be met in as few as five or six sessions, or work may extend over several years, depending on your needs and the goals you set.

How do I ask about therapy?

Please use the secure contact form to submit a therapy inquiry. The office will discuss availability and provider fit with you. Therapy appointments aren't booked directly through the scheduler. Submit a therapy inquiry.

Do you offer couples therapy?

Yes. Couples therapy helps partners experiencing relationship distress, including intimacy, sexual, and communication difficulties, with a treatment plan built around clear goals.

Do you offer online therapy?

Yes. Therapy is available in person in Arvada or online for clients in Colorado. Dr. Walker is a PSYPACT provider, so online care with her may also be available in participating PSYPACT states.

What is EMDR?

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a therapy that helps your brain process experiences, memories, or feelings that feel stuck, so reminders no longer bring up the same distress. It uses eye movements, tactile sensations, or sounds to support that processing. EMDR is offered by Dr. Walker and Kaela Little.

What is NuCalm?

NuCalm is a clinical system that helps your mind and body relax within minutes by shifting your nervous system into its rest-⁠and-⁠recover mode. It may improve mood, sleep quality, and energy, and lower stress. A 60-⁠minute session is $100.

Can I use insurance for therapy?

Coverage depends on your clinician, plan, and benefits. Dr. Walker and Kaela Little accept insurance, with different in-⁠network plans. Please review Insurance and Fees and confirm your benefits before a session.

Does contacting the office start services?

No. Email inquiries and phone consultations regarding services are not an agreement of services.

What is your cancellation policy?

Because demand for appointments is high, please give at least 48 hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule.
