Hi, I’m Jessica! My name is Jessica Vaught. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). I work with children, adolescents, and adults. I specialize in depression, anxiety, stress, and behavioral problems using Patient-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral therapy, and Solution Focused Therapy. My communication style is an open and honest one. I want my clients to feel comfortable when speaking to me. I want them to feel safe and heard. Most of all, I want them to know that therapy is a place where they can speak freely without fear of judgment.
Whether you're having challenges with communication; perhaps there's criticism and defensiveness leading neither of you to feel heard or understood. Perhaps you’re spinning on the same arguments without things getting resolved. Maybe you're tired and want to regain love and connection, stretched by time and a heavy mental workload. I’ve helped hundreds of couples successfully in this space. I'll walk you through it step by step with balanced, gentle and non judgemental approaches so that something can actually be done about the matters at hand. To do this, I offer Gottman methods and research during our couples therapy sessions, giving you skills, tools, and frameworks to set your relationship up for success and connection. So many days, I see couples doing the work and applying the ideas discussed during our calls. I regularly see couples regain connection and step towards gentleness and understanding while getting their love back. Let's get started with a free intro call. Simply click "Book Now", and you can put that free intro call right onto my calendar. Simple. We'll spend some time talking about some of your specifics, how I can help and what our first couple sessions will look like.
Hi! I'm Sarah. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Certified Perinatal Mental Health Professional (PMH-C) supporting moms and moms-to-be through all stages of their parenthood journey. We know that motherhood is highly rewarding, but it’s also one of the most challenging things a person can do, and that’s when everything goes as you expected it would go! When it doesn’t, I am here to help. I am passionate about working with moms who have been met with the unexpected, including post-abortion support and pregnancy loss, hypermesis gravidarum, and perinatal mood and anxiety disorders such as postpartum OCD or postpartum depression. I especially enjoy supporting parents who are parenting special needs or medically fragile children. As a mom who has experienced the unexpected myself, my focus is to provide therapy in a welcoming, calming environment that allows moms to feel safe and validated. Babies are always welcome, and I provide convenient online therapy so we can meet wherever you may find yourself. In addition to working with moms and moms-to-be, I also specialize in working with teens and young adults struggling with self-worth, self-harm, constant feelings of worry, depression, life transitions, or grief and loss. I work from a strengths-based perspective and incorporate a lot of mindfulness work and humor into therapy sessions. I believe the therapeutic relationship can be healing in itself and I strive to create a space in which you feel supported, heard, and empowered. When I am not working, you can find me spending time with my husband and two kids, enjoying all that Colorado has to offer! Contact me today for a free phone consultation and to start your journey toward healing!
My goal as a therapist is to help individuals and families achieve greater levels of wellness. None of us can control all of the situations we face in life. However, it is possible to develop a sense of wellness that goes beyond daily circumstances and allows you to feel joy, even in difficult times. I help clients to build the tools and insight needed to identify and overcome current roadblocks while better utilizing strengths. I use specifically designed experiences in sessions to help make therapy useful, motivating, and memorable. I also help families through a specific skills training to build healthy conflict skills. Conflict is often unavoidable, but it can be done in a healthy way. Contact me to see if the services and experience I provide are a good fit with what you are hoping to achieve.
Shame, feeling different, experiencing depression or anxiety, and facing relationship issues or conflicts with oneself andor the world are some of the issues I commonly provide help with. I believe that deep psychological and emotional change is achievable through Jungian-informed depth psychotherapy and dreamwork (which is always optional). The work I offer focuses on depth work to reduce the influence of the unconscious, which can look like addressing triggers, somatic symptoms, default patterns, reactions, rigid attitudes, depression, anxiety, mood swings, or a crisis of meaning... the list can go on. This type of therapy helps expand consciousness and create meaningful change. I hope to offer you welcoming, inclusive, and trauma-sensitive care. I have training and certifications in trauma, complex trauma, and shame.
High-achieving people who focus on precision, analysis, and outcomes frequently experience anxiety, emotional strain, and relational issues. Leaders in high-pressure fields, where logic and performance are prized, often neglect the importance of developing emotional bandwidth. I work with individuals and couples who recognize the importance of “soft issues” for successful outcomes. Our sessions result in new approaches to difficult relationships, clarifying values and purpose, and lowering anxiety levels, allowing for greater intimacy.
I have obsessive-compulsive (OCD) myself and have trained many of the professionals you will meet in this field. I know that obsessive-compulsive conditions are highly specific to each individual. I first get to know how your OCD works, then select from the tools I have developed and trained others in over the past decades. In a few weeks, we will have a treatment plan in place and be making progress.
Sometimes we find ourselves caught in familiar patterns, even after years of trying to understand ourselves and the experiences that have shaped us. Whether you're navigating anxiety, overwhelm, relationship challenges, past experiences, or simply feeling that something in your life is asking for attention, I offer a space to meet what's coming up with curiosity and kindness. My approach is rooted in somatic psychotherapy and a deep trust in the body's innate capacity for healing. I integrate Somatic Experiencing, EMDR, parts work, and elements of craniosacral therapy. I also offer ketamine-assisted psychotherapy when clinically appropriate, with an emphasis on preparation and integration. Our sessions often begin by slowing down and connecting with what's present. We may explore sensations, emotions, images, and patterns in the nervous system, while cultivating a greater sense of connection and resource in the present moment. From here, we can begin to meet more difficult experiences with care, allowing space for integration and new possibilities to emerge. I see the body as an expression of nature, with an inherent impulse toward health and wholeness. Rather than forcing change, I support my clients to listen more deeply to what's here, trusting the wisdom that can emerge when our experiences are given space to be met. Together, we can navigate the waters of your inner world with care, making space for all of you and for what is ready to emerge. If this way of working resonates with you, I'd love to connect.
