Community Resources
Support Beyond Psychotherapy.
Below is a list of resources available in Colorado and beyond.
Pre-natal and post-natal services
Doula support - A doula, also known as a birth companion, birth coach or post-birth supporter, is a non-medical person who stays with and assists the birthing person before, during, or after childbirth, to provide emotional support and physical help if needed. I highly recommend Lindsey Eden if you are in the Denver metro area. Individuals who feel supported, empowered and knowledgeable generally have better birth outcomes.
Breast Feeding Support - Breastfeeding can create a great deal of anxiety in new parents. La Leche League is a great place to get connected.
Postpartum Resources and Postpartum Education- I recommend that you consult with a mental health professional if you believe you are experiencing postpartum depression or postpartum psychosis. This can be a resource to learn what it is, gain additional support, and know what to look for in a loved one.
Parenting Resources
The Trevor Project - LGTBQIA+ resource for youth needing supporting in their sexuality or gender. A resource to also learn more about what these youth may need support with.
Colorado Shines - This is website that can help you navigate where you choose to send your child to daycare in Colorado. Child Care can be a great source of anxiety for parents, but information is power, and this resource will help you make a better informed choice.
General Mental Health Support
Let’s Talk Colorado - Gives a listing of agencies in Colorado to work with, including support groups, resources specific to addiction, men’s therapy, and other specialties not handled in this practice.
Colorado Crisis Services - A listing of crisis centers throughout the metro area for emergent mental health needs.
National Suicide Hotline - An agency that provides 24/7 support to those in need and having thoughts of suicide.
Facebook, Reddit & Discord Support Groups - I believe in the power of community and shared stories. I recommend that if it feels helpful, you connect with others on social media regarding any specific support you may need, such as living with chronic pain or parenting.
