Dr. James C. "Jay" Martin
Marriage and Family Therapist, D.Min., LMFT, AAMFT-S, CT, CFS, CEAP
I have experienced major life transitions both personally and professionally—some were chosen while others were not. I have chosen to transform those transitions from loss, tragedy, trauma and/or overwhelming challenges into opportunities for healing and growth, new direction and purpose, new relationships and the building of a life that is revitalizing and rewarding. My professional mission in life is to provide the same opportunity to my clients.

I invite you to join with me in your journey of creating meaningful change in your life. We all face difficult life challenges at some point, and receiving compassion and support can make all the difference. Whether you or a family member have encountered a recent challenge that has led you "off course" or if you have experienced a lifetime of pain, we can work together to develop healthier patterns of thoughts, feelings, behaviors and interactions to increase inner peace. I will support you in reaching your own definition of success.
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and have had the honor of working in the mental health community since 1998. I have been in private practice since 2004. I enjoy living in the beautiful Colorado mountains and love nature, as it provides a sense of peace and calm for me. I am the mother of three adult sons, married for 23 years and have been a resident of Colorado for 30 years. I enjoy hiking, traveling and spending time with my family.

Philip Cooke
Psychologist, PhD
It takes courage to change, especially when you feel stuck with painful and confusing thoughts and feelings. You may find yourself struggling to change self-defeating behaviors and frustrated you can’t find relief. Psychotherapy can help you get unstuck. As we explore what is bothering you, you develop a deeper understanding of what is keeping you stuck and use that understanding to work toward living a more fulfilling life.
Psychotherapy is a process for better understanding ourselves, especially our automatic, often hidden, and sometimes contradictory motivations, feelings, and desires. If you’re interested in understanding and addressing the psychological factors underlying your concerns in life, I might be a good fit for you. Please take a look at my website and contact me to schedule a free phone consultation.

Ben Dickstein
Psychologist, PhD
I love helping my clients address issues with sleep, anxiety, mood, and past traumatic experiences. For me, helping others as a psychologist is a true passion. When appropriate, I use evidence-based therapy, which has clinical research supporting its effectiveness. I routinely offer couples and grief counseling. I've been told by my clients that I clearly take my job seriously and prepare well for sessions, always eager to bring them the relief that they're seeking in a thoughtful and targeted way. I don't stretch treatment out any longer than needed. As far as my unique characteristics as a therapist, I believe that humor plays an important role in treatment, and that therapists who are willing to be self-disclosing and genuine develop stronger, more meaningful connections with their clients. I see therapy as a very personal process -- far more so than other types of health visits -- and that forming a real relationship is a key component of mental health treatment. I find that one definite benefit of such a relationship is that I'm able to offer my clients truthful, direct feedback, as they always know that any challenging remarks are coming from a caring and compassionate place. Along these lines, I belief that it's a therapist's job to routinely encourage their clients to push beyond their comfort zones and make bold changes.
