Get Started Today

  • "...I have been in and out of therapy all of my life for anxiety. Prior to working with Balancing Anxietyy, I was given strategies on appeasing the anxiety, which led to my mild OCD. In working with them, I was able to alleviate the anxiety through better articulating my needs to others and identifying what and why something may trigger me. I have found all of my relationships have improved, because I can stop and listen to others. Thank you!"

  • “…I have never trusted a therapist like I trust Nicole. She always puts me at ease and gives me strategies to help me be the best version of myself. Thank you for everything, you really are a miracle worker!.”

  • “This was the first therapist that actually listened to me. I was wrongly diagnosed for years and after I got an accurate diagnosis with Balancing Anxiety I was able to finally get the treatment that I needed. If I never started working with them I would still be lost and in so much pain...”

  • "Kathy and Nicole do an excellent job at creating a safe, compassionate space where one can bring up professional concerns, consult about clients, and discuss other struggles that may arise while working towards licensure. They have a trauma-informed lens towards learning."

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • Psychotherapy refers to mental health treatment that involves non-invasive medical procedures. Psychotherapy is usually synonymous with talk-therapy as opposed to other interventions such as medication. In Colorado, psychotherapists are regulated by the Colorado Mental Health Practice Act. That act provides the below definition:

    "Psychotherapy" means the treatment, diagnosis, testing, assessment, or counseling in a professional relationship to assist individuals or groups to alleviate mental disorders, understand unconscious or conscious motivation, resolve emotional, relationship, or attitudinal conflicts, or modify behaviors which interfere with effective emotional, social, or intellectual functioning.

  • The answer to this question is unique to every individual, but you can guarantee that you will do a lot of talking. Once a treatment plan is developed, psychotherapy focuses on minimizes symptoms and uncovering underlying traumas and systemic issues. Clients who are being treated for anxiety could focus on coping skills related to reducing worry. Clients who are experiencing depression could work through grief with their therapist. No matter what you want to work on, talking about it usually helps.

  • People are often surprised to learn that in the U.S. social workers provide an upwards of 70% of all psychotherapy services. Social workers adhere to a similar code of ethics that counselors and psychologists do. Social workers tend to take into account a broader perspective than those only trained in psychology. Social Workers utilize theories that analyze not only the psychological content of an individuals suffering but also their ecological environment. Social workers are also better connected to community resources and can help clients find other resources outside of just psychotherapy.

  • Psychotherapy does not work unless the client is willing to work with their therapist. If you do not feel that you have anything to work on in therapy right now, then I would not recommend you begin therapy. Attending therapy is not a decision that one person can make for another person. If you feel that you need assistance in deciding if you are ready for therapy or not, schedule a consultation.

  • No. I do not prescribe medication and am not licensed to do so. If you are in the Denver metro area and are looking for medication mangement, I have heard good things about Peak Interactive Wellness.

  • Yes, I partner with most insurance companies exlcuding medicaid and medicare. Be sure to specify what insurance you would like to use when booking your session so that I can connect you to one of my third party billing partners so that you can access in-network rates.
