Our private practice is located near I-25 and Colorado Blvd. We utilize Play Therapy with children and teens in addition to working with adult individuals and families to create the empowerment to make choices that better fit the reality you envision for yourself.

My therapeutic approach is insight-oriented, relational, and collaborative. I work with adults, couples, and adolescents to make meaningful changes in their lives. Together, we will take the time to get to the heart of your story and uncover deep-rooted emotional patterns. I specialize in anxiety, depression, identity issues, relationship issues, and self-esteem. I use psychodynamic theory to explore how our early experiences impact our current functioning, and I see the therapeutic relationship as a corrective experience to heal our early attachment wounds. In our work together, I will gently challenge you to say the unsayable, learn to trust yourself, get out of your own way, and discover new ways to relate to yourself and others. I am a Licensed Social Worker in private practice in Denver, Colorado. I earned my Masters in Social Work with a concentration in Family Systems as well as a post-graduate certificate in trauma therapy from the University of Denver Graduate School of Social Work. I also completed a post-graduate program in Marriage and Family therapy at Denver Family Institute.
I help stressed out and anxious people of any gender to heal trauma, make work suck less, and get good at relationships. I’m an Denver LGBT therapist providing EMDR therapy with a decade of experience. I’m terrible at pop culture and I love puns. My goal for my clients is to have a sustainable life where you can thrive. I want you to feel like you can navigate what life throws at you, even if it’s hard. I’m deeply invested in finding out what works for you (vs. anyone else). I’m less likely to promote something as “healthy” in therapy and more likely to ask you how it’s working for you. I won’t look at you sideways when you drop your partner’s pronouns or ask me to use a new name for you. We’ll curse, cry, and probably (hopefully) laugh. We’ll be human together.
Open Hearted Minds (OHM) operates on the concept that treating the psyche and soul is a blend of evidenced based practices with sound science as well as respecting the client's lived experiences. I specialized in mood disorders, trauma, addiction and identity development.
Finding ourselves stuck in problems that we can't seem to figure out isn't uncommon and asking for help isn't easy, but it is a brave first step. My hope is that once I have the opportunity to get to know you and your unique experiences, I can help you to develop the skills to manage life's challenges in a way that you can be proud of. I have worked with children, families and adults and tailor my practice to the individuals I serve. I strive to create a space that is safe, non-judgemental and considers the complexity of your life. My past work has been with individuals of all ages who have experienced complex trauma and the resulting depression, anxiety, anger, fear, shame and grief. I strive to create a safe and anti-oppressive practice that respects, validates and affirms individual racial, ethnic, religious, spiritual, gender and sexual identities. I believe that people are meant to live in relationship, but that often we get stuck in negative cycles of relating to ourselves, others and the world that keep us from growth and joy. In my own life, I have worked and continue to work to break down these things for myself, and I am honored to join others in their work to do the same. :)
You worry about everything- literally everything. You toss and turn at night, waking up exhausted, and unprepared to start the day. It is like you are on auto pilot- just going through the motions. You are constantly in your head, unable to enjoy the present, and time with friends. You feel anxious and on edge most of the time, you wish you could just relax. Others see you as someone who has it all together, without a care in the world- how little they know. Let’s face it, you hide the worry and anxiety well. But lately, it has been getting harder to manage. The anxiety you continuously try to bury, is creeping its way up, and you are feeling overwhelmed. You have been contemplating therapy for so long, not sure if it will even help. But you’re ready now, you know things need to change, and you can’t go through life like this much longer. Now imagine... Imagine being able to finally be present in your everyday life, and actually enjoy your time with family and friends. Imagine finally being able to relax and sleep. Imagine waking up energized and ready to start the day. You’re ready to take the driver’s seat, and no longer allow anxiety and worry to take control. And I can help. I am trained in EMDR and DBT and specialize in helping people like you who struggle with excessive worry. I am a Christian and offer faith-based counseling for those seeking it. However, I work with people no matter their religious affiliation or lack of one. I provide only online counseling. It is time to cross off “find a therapist” from your to-do list. I look forward to hearing from you.
My clients are what I like to call "smart, but stuck." If you experience anxiety, OCD, phobias, or panic attacks, you know how you can get tied into knots trying to arrange your life to control fearful thoughts and feelings. You might find yourself getting stuck in overthinking, repetitive actions, research, reassurance seeking, and avoidance of people, places, and situations that you used to enjoy. I help people get liberated from anxiety by getting unstuck from what doesn't work.

Life is tough. I see you wanting to get more quality out of your life. You might be the gladiator of a high achiever dragging around anxiety, autism, ADHD or a difficult past. Or maybe life got harder than that lately - like putting your feet on the floor is too hard today. Listen, I've been there myself. You're safe here. I got you. Let's get curious about you. You are the expert of your life; I'm right here with you handing you tools. Yes, I have the ground-breaking therapies. You’re the expert on your life. I’m here to walk alongside you and offer tools that fit. I often use CBT and DBT for practical work. I'm currently in training for EMDR. Next Steps: Just say hey. I'll respond less than a couple hours during my office hours. Or call the number and leave me a message. If I'm not in session or out of office, I'll answer your call myself. No couch. No traffic. Therapy is a chat by videocall - bring your own cat and coffee.
You deserve a safe space where you have a voice and finally feel heard. Whether you are managing a chronic illness, emotional eating or trying to find your identity, a ton of emotions can come up that deserve to be validated and supported. Surprised to hear that? Don't be! I've learned so much from my own experiences and would love to guide you on your own journey! I have a passion for helping others take back control of their lives. We do so much every day that taking care of ourselves feels impossible! With a combination of life experience and education, I help individuals that feel as though they are alone find their path to healing.
Are you someone who is struggling with life in college? Perhaps you're in your first semester and you are feeling overwhelmed and lonely with all the changes that have taken place. Maybe you are well into your college career but you are feeling confused about the path that you've chosen to take. Regardless of where you find yourself, I am here to help. I have been working as a therapist for over 8 years and have helped many people through depression, anxiety, addiction, stress management, family issues and more. I want to help you be the person that you are wanting to be. It is never an easy journey to work on yourself, but it is undoubtedly a worthwhile one.
You deserve to live a life on your terms. Sometimes this can seem impossible when experiencing anxiety, depression or low self esteem. You feel stuck. This can make it difficult to make decisions about who you want to be or how to get to where you want to go. My belief is that counseling is an opportunity to gain a deeper sense of personal meaning and allow for more self-understanding, which can help to reduce these intense emotions as well as helping to clarify what you want out of life. My approach is interactive; together we create a space where you are seen, heard, and understood. It is in this space that I will not only listen to your story but also be assessing how your body is reacting to the events in your life. I use mindfulness, cognitive work and EMDR in session, all practices that will help you to learn how to regulate yourself better and ultimately allow for healing from past traumatic or uncomfortable experiences.
Hello, I’m George Joseph, LMHC, LPC, a licensed psychotherapist with nearly 30 years of experience. I work with college students and adults dealing with anxiety, depression, panic, relationship stress, academic pressure, life transitions, and ADHD-related concerns. My approach is warm, thoughtful, and insight-oriented, while also helping clients build practical tools for managing symptoms and understanding patterns that may be getting in the way. I also provide online adult ADHD evaluations/testing for students and adults in Colorado.
I believe therapy works best when it looks at the whole person. My approach to therapy is integrative. We will explore how your unique brain works and how your environment, history, and physical well-being all play a role in your mental health. I specialize in supporting individuals in Colorado navigating executive functioning, ADHD, OCD, anxiety, life transitions, self-esteem and body image as well as navigating the nuances of relationships, boundaries and communication. Together we will look at the intersection of your physical health, environment, and daily rhythms to create a sustainable path forward!

Being in college is not like any other time in your life. Some parts of it can be just great and others very challenging and even completely overwhelming at times. It is not at all uncommon for college students to feel anxious, depressed, uncertain about themselves and the future, or to find themselves very challenged by academics, personal identity, thinking of the future, and dealing with complicated relationships of all kinds. I get it! I worked in two university counseling centers before going into private practice and developed a lot of respect for the challenges facing college students. You guys are one of my favorite groups of people to work with, too, because you are in this unique position of usually being fairly newly out of your family home, able to make more choices on your own, and have your whole lives ahead of you to shape the way you want them to be--scary though that is. I'm happy to help you if I can.
I approach therapy with a client-centered framework to let you determine what path your journey is taking. We will create a relationship together where I can be your mirror and reflect your innate wisdom that life's stress and trauma has obscured. Lasting change is created through this empowerment that gives you the strength and awareness to deepen personal resilience. I blend a model of evidence-based therapeutic techniques with non-traditional spiritual knowledge and practices like mindfulness. Through compassion, present-moment focus, and somatic guidance, I offer support unique to what you need for your individual situation. I specialized in working with those with chronic pain, illness, and health concerns, but also have particular attunement to those with trauma and PTSD. I offer an integrative, mind-body approach which utilizes methods like ACT, MBSR, MBCT, and DBT. Together we can tailor an environment of safety and stability where you can start your healing and growth.
