Women's Issues therapists in Thornton, Colorado CO
Denver Wellness Counseling
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
The pressure exerted on the modern day woman is overwhelming and often conflicting (work full time yet immediately meet every need of your family). Woman come to therapy with a variety of resulting issues, such as anxiety, overwhelm, depression, feelings of inadequacy, resentment, loss of purpose, tendency towards dissociation (online shopping, mindless eating, wine), relationship struggles, or loss of a coherent sense of SELF. Women also frequently come to therapy with a history of trauma, whether it's an experience of sexual assault (or many), trauma from unhealthy family-of-origin dynamics, perinatal trauma, or relationship abuse.
Here at Denver Wellness Counseling, women can begin the journey of reconnecting with their CORE self, setting boundaries, releasing misplaced guilt, and healing from trauma.
Some of the woman's issues we treat are as follows: self-esteem or body image issues, managing and redistributing emotional load, perinatal issues or infertility/miscarriages, depression, mood swings, trauma, anxiety, and finding a sense of meaning.

Anastasia Mitchell
Counselor/Therapist, Licensed Professional Counselor, Art Therapist
The concerns plaguing women often contribute to an increase in symptoms of mental health as well as lowered esteem. Self concept is in part a derivative of the messages received and how our environment contributes to the inner voice. Through therapy we can begin to identify concerns and methods for navigating the issues that persist.

Adria Hagg
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Women often feel compelled to "do it all" and sometimes environmental pressures and biological changes impact our thoughts, emotions and behaviors. I have worked with women of all ages because the life presents women with a unique set of obstacles at various points in our development. Healing begins with understanding, accepting and coping with these unique challenges and changes.

Jerleen Sinkes
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Addressing women's issues in therapy, I approach each conversation with an understanding that these challenges are deeply interwoven with personal identity, societal expectations, and unique life experiences. I create a supportive and empowering environment for women to explore and discuss issues such as self-esteem, body image, relationships, career pressures, motherhood, and the balancing act that often comes with these roles. My aim is to provide a space where you can freely express your thoughts and feelings, exploring both the struggles and strengths you possess. Together, we'll work on strategies that not only address immediate concerns but also foster long-term resilience and fulfillment. Recognizing the strength in vulnerability, my goal is to support you in finding your voice and path to empowerment, ensuring that you feel seen, heard, and valued.

Dr. Sheena Sikorski
Psychologist, PsyD, Licensed Psychologist
Let's face it. It's hard being a female in our society. The pressure to look, act, and talk a certain way is engrained in us from an early age. If you want to break out of the script or mold you've been assigned and explore who you are underneath the prescribed role, this message might be a sign to explore this with someone!
