Benjamin Ramey
Therapist, LPC, Psychoanalyst
My approach to treatment puts the individual at the center. Psychoanalysis offers a space where you can speak openly without inhibition, without censor. Unlike typical social environments that are ruled by judgment and social norms, psychoanalytic space is where saying whatever comes to mind is acceptable and encouraged. Over the course of treatment, symptoms may abate and become less distressing as you begin to recognize and live according to desire. Psychoanalysis seeks to clarify your motivations and inhibitions to help you determine the best way to live.

Susan Stone
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
I work with adults from every walk of life and in diverse circumstances. What nearly all have in common is that they tell me that things don’t feel manageable anymore. Life has gotten out of hand, and feelings like anxiety, self-doubt, depression, and disappointment seem to be taking over – if they haven’t already. Some might think they are “going crazy!” Others feel selfish because they crave self-care and a break from never being enough.
My job (and privilege) is to come alongside you to provide support, feedback, and help you better understand things and make plans to improve things. Sometimes, I will validate feelings that you’ve discounted or point out challenges you’ve grown so accustomed to that you brush them aside, even though they are part of what trips you up. Together, we’ll gain perspectives and insights about how to make things better.
In session, we will review the week for clues about what to focus on. We will talk about how things went and how they could have turned out better. I’ll ask many questions, listen a lot, and work with you to identify options for improving life. You’ll tear up sometimes, but you’ll be surprised how often we chuckle.

Dr. Paige Hover
Psychologist, PsyD
If you are anxious and/or burnt out and are looking to go beyond fixing a problem or feeling better, I may be the psychologist for you. Think of me as a mental health personal trainer. I can provide some initial relief but also help you get a deeper understanding of yourself. I use a mix of mindfulness based coping skills and provide a form of cognitive behavioral therapy called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Along with some other approaches, we can work together to help you sustain long-term mental health improvement. I specialize in working with people who identify as perfectionists, high-achievers and people pleasers. I don't accept insurance but superbills can provided for potential OON reimbursement upon request.

Denver Wellness Counseling
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
Here at Denver Wellness Counseling, our therapists prioritize both the importance of the therapeutic relationship and the need for research-backed interventions so clients can finally make the gains they are hoping for. Many of our clients find us after years of "talk therapy" and a readiness to do "deeper work." We are happy to help and know how to guide that process.
Our therapists specialize in EMDR therapy, which they thoughtfully combine with other modalities to meet the unique needs of their clients. Therapy can look a number of ways, but will typically include tools for building self-awareness, cultivating internal sources of strength, healing old wounds (EMDR), and integrating treatment gains into present day systems and relationships.
Yes, we consider ourselves "trauma" therapists, yet we purposely expand the trauma definition to include ANY life event that has shifted one's sense of safety, choice (control), or identity. We work to help clients heal wounding from any developmental stage of life, even those that occurred prior to explicit memory (pre-verbal experiences), or recent events from the past few weeks or months.
