I really enjoy getting to know you as a person first, before diving into treatment right off the batt. It allows you to gage your comfort level with me to see if I am a good fit for you!

Hi, I'm Kirt Baab, LCSW. I'm a clinical social worker with an extensive history providing treatment for anxiety, depression, and trauma. I use several treatment methods including: supportive counseling, cognitive behavioral counseling, somatic therapy, and mindfulness. Most people are surprised by how "informal" treatment seems. I'm easy to talk with, open minded, and very supportive. Many clients tell me they are surprised they make changes while feeling accepted for who they are. Often, they tell me, "I can be who I am with you." This happens because we use a relational and accepting style.

Accepting new clients! Struggling with things like anxiety, addiction, low self-esteem, or relationships? Sometimes we find ourselves stuck in survival mode, disconnected from who we are. I’m here to help you break that cycle and begin realigning with your values, strengths, and the life you truly want to live. I work with adults navigating emotional challenges, life transitions, addiction, and the stress that comes with simply being human. My approach is warm, collaborative, and rooted in the belief that you carry inner wisdom and resilience. I’m just here to help you reconnect with it and move forward in greater alignment. Using tools from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, family systems, and mindfulness, I tailor each session to fit you. Above all, I aim to create a safe space built on trust, empathy, and authenticity - where you feel heard, respected, and supported. Whether you’re feeling stuck, disconnected, or just need someone to talk to, I’m here. Reach out to schedule a free 15-minute consultation to see if we are a good fit.

Our mission is to help anxious people reduce or eliminate their anxiety, and to do so as quickly as possible. We are a team of Denver psychologists specializing in treating people of all ages with Anxiety Disorders, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, and related problems. Do you feel anxious all the time and don't know what to do about it? Have you tried therapy or other strategies before with no success? Are you starting to feel hopeless that anything will ever work? Don't lose hope... We can help you minimize your anxiety so you can live a normal, fulfilling life where YOU have control, not your anxiety. We use a straightforward, practical, proven approach. The method we most typically use is Exposure Therapy, which has been shown through extensive research to be the most effective therapy for any type of anxiety, including OCD. Most people who undergo Exposure Therapy for their OCD or anxiety respond very well to treatment and can go on to live healthy, happy lives.

Your nervous system learned how to survive, now let's help it learn how to rest again. You might be here because you feel overwhelmed, stuck in old patterns, or exhausted from carrying more than you can hold alone. Whether you’re navigating pregnancy or postpartum challenges, military or first responder stress, or trauma recovery, I’m here to walk with you without judgment, and with genuine empathy. I consider myself a tough love therapist: compassionate and kind, but I’m going to hold you accountable and be straightforward with you. Therapy can be uncomfortable, but that is where growth happens. I will always meet you where you are, but my job is to challenge you while supporting you in reaching your goals. My approach is to create a safe, compassionate space where you feel seen and understood. I tailor therapy to your unique experiences, drawing from eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), cognitive processing therapy (CPT), attachment-based work, and mindfulness practices to help calm your nervous system and integrate healing into your daily life.

Any client that walks into my practice becomes the most important person as we build a relationship of trust and security. Therapy is safe, non judgmental, and loving. We become a team of teasing out problems and finding solutions. My style is proactive, nurturing, and intuitive. In between our sessions I provide resources, food for thought, or a check in. You will know and experience how much you matter to me. Being a professional therapist for over 20 years I come to you with wisdom from my own life experiences. Finding the right therapist will alter the direction of your life. I am here to fostersupport a change in you. Building a collaborative relationship will enhance the success of reaching your personal goals. My clients feel so free to be themselves when we are in session. The magic of the therapeutic process is when therapy becomes a microcosm of how one lives their life outside of the session. Therapy is an amazing gift and journey. If you are interested in working with me, I encourage you to call and speak with me directly for a free initial 20 minute phone consultation. I respond to you within the same day.

Our Denver therapists are experts in helping clients build self-awareness in order to address the root of their problems through EMDR. Good therapy often involves a multifaceted approach to get to the core root of problems. More than "talk-therapy" our approach involves building safety, learning tools for self-regulation, healing old wounds (trauma), and integrating these treatment gains for a strengthened sense of core identity.

I am an experienced, compassionate practitioner specializing in Jungian-based psychotherapy and mindfulness. I offer support for anxiety, depression, trauma, and life’s challenges. Together, we’ll work to deepen your understanding of your experiences, so you can cultivate inner peace, strength, and lasting resilience.

I genuinely believe that you have all the strength and insight you need within yourself to heal and grow. You can expect that I will work to help us build a strong therapeutic relationship based on safety and trust. It's essential to help you better understand yourself and reach your goals. I have expertise and special interest in chronic pain and health conditions, stress, anxiety, depression, LGBTIQA+ concerns, grief and loss, obsessive-compulsive (OCD) and related conditions, and trauma-informed care. I have a nonjudgmental, hopeful, and encouraging approach. I offer free 15 minute phone consultations as well, if you have any questions or concerns before scheduling an initial session.

I specialize in individualizing care to your needs and have over 36 years of healthcare experience in multiple specialties. I am passionate about helping people achieve an exceptional life by teaching them how to apply both nonpharmacological skills and best practices for utilizing psychiatric medications. To effectively move through the difficulties life throws at us, it takes a wide variety of tools, individualized to meet our personal situations. I have successfully used an eclectic variety of methods that empower personal growth, bring back the strength needed to meet the demands in our lives, and move people away from suffering and toward a higher level of well-being. All this is achieved through techniques that expand consciousness and awareness, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical distress tolerance tools, stress management, assertiveness skills, experiential learning, mindfulness cognitive therapy, solution-focused brief therapy, clinical hypnotherapy, positive psychology concepts, and the use of prescription psychiatric medications.

I believe in helping you develop practical skills to use in real life, so you feel more confidence and ease in day-to-day interactions. Insight is valuable, but there's more to therapy than understanding your past and yourself. In developing skills like self-compassion, you can learn to be kinder to yourself when things don't go perfectly, which can reduce anxiety. In learning how to self-regulate, you can be more authentic and assertive in your communication with others, which can lead to less people-pleasing, healthier boundaries, or greater fulfillment in relationships. These are just a few of the skills that I help clients develop in therapy, in both individual and couple work. If you're motivated to make real change, contact me for a free initial phone consultation. Or visit my website for more details about my therapy practice.

Do you struggle with feeling lost, unsatisfied, or overwhelmed with your life? Do these struggles affect your relationships, your mood, or your work? I help adults and emerging adults work through these concerns. Life?s difficulties can cause feelings of anxiety and depression and affect our relationships. They can trigger feelings of anger, make us feel clingy, or cause us to seek time alone. I help clients work through these feelings and experiences, to improve your life and help you achieve your goals. In therapy, I strive to understand your unique world and to work with you to deepen your understanding of your struggles. I do this by working with you to create a supportive, trusting, and safe therapeutic relationship, through which difficult thoughts and feelings related to your struggles can be explored and understood more fully. This individualized and collaborative approach allows me to treat people as the individuals that they are, rather than a person with a diagnosis. No two treatments look the same, but my clinical decisions are guided by experience and contemporary research.
