Johanna Wood, Leap Counseling and Consultation
Psychologist, PhD, LP
I specialize in exposure-based therapies for OCD and anxiety disorders. My clients typically have tried therapy before, but have not seen much improvement. They continue living in fear, anxiety, and guilt, as their lives continue getting smaller and smaller. This is because OCD and most anxiety disorders require specialized treatment. Coping skills are great, but they can only get you so far. The good news is, there are science-backed treatments for OCD and for anxiety that actually work. If you're ready to stop coping and start living, take a leap of faith and reach out.
My style is structured and balances use of the latest science with compassion and understanding. My goal is to make you feel heard, and feel challenged. I serve adults with primary issues of OCD and anxiety, and I also address co-occurring depression, insomnia, body-focused repetitive behaviors, and trauma, using cognitive-behavioral therapies. I address all forms of OCD and anxiety, but I have a special interest in scrupulosity (religious- and moral-based) OCD. I love helping people stop letting their OCD hijack their sources of meaning and get back to having faith in faith again.

Arazeli Wagner
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Many people seek therapy because they feel overwhelmed, emotionally stuck, or caught in relationship patterns they don’t fully understand. Anxiety, self-doubt, and emotional reactivity often have deeper roots than what’s happening in the present moment. I work with adults who want to understand these patterns with compassion and create meaningful, lasting change in their lives and relationships.

Skye D Ross, EMDR Therapist for High Achieving Women
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, PMH-C, MPH, EMDR-Certified Therapist & Consultant In Training
If you're a top-performing woman who is juggling the dream of "having it all" with the reality of "doing it all," welcome. One thing about me is that I keep it real in therapy: The reality of being a woman in healthcare and a therapist is that we may know all things we should be doing, and we also know how hard it can be to do those things. We'll build insight and work through the challenges that come up along the way. My specialties are supporting women through the burnout of being a parent and high-achieving professional, vicarious trauma, and workplace trauma.

Matthew Jones
Licensed Professional Counselor, MSCC, LPC
I began to pursue being a therapist because it is a source of healing and understanding and I want to help nurture that in others. I believe in paying it forward. There is a need to provide affordable and accessible mental health care. Therapy is a tool by which people can grow in the understanding of themselves and the world around them. IT is important to provide ethical and reliable care to those who want and need it. I try to guide the patient through the therapeutic experience by providing REST (Respect, Equality, Safety, and Trust.) This is one of the basic principles that I believe creates a healthy relationship. Come join me a safe space.

Soulful Steps, LLC - Jenna Kapp
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
What makes my practice special is the way I strive to create a space where you can feel safe, seen, and truly yourself. I know how important it is to feel comfortable with your therapist, so I focus on building a genuine connection rooted in warmth, trust, and respect.
I don’t believe therapy should feel distant or clinical—it should feel human. I meet each person where they are, honoring their story and moving at a pace that feels right for them. Together, we explore what’s been feeling heavy, what’s getting in the way, and what healing and growth might look like for you.
My approach blends compassion with practical support, helping you not only gain insight but also feel more equipped in your day-to-day life. Whether you’re navigating stress, transitions, self-esteem, or relationships, my hope is that you leave feeling a little more grounded, understood, and supported than when you came in.

Dr. Trey Cole
Psychologist, Psy.D., ABPP, DAAETS
Therapy, at its best, is a space where you can slow down, turn inward, and begin to understand yourself more fully. My role is to walk alongside you in that process — with honesty, care, and deep respect for your experience.
I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, relationship challenges, and life transitions. My approach draws from CBT, ACT, trauma-focused therapy, and existential therapy, always tailored to what feels most useful for you. But more than any particular method, I believe healing happens through genuine connection — when you feel truly seen and understood.
Together, we'll explore the patterns, emotions, and beliefs that shape how you move through the world. We'll build practical tools where you need them, and make space for the deeper questions when those matter more. My hope is that our work helps you relate to yourself with greater compassion, and to your life with greater clarity and intention.

Rebecca Castle-Waller
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
CURRENTLY ACCEPTING WAITLIST CLIENTS
Hey Survivor, are you tired of feeling guilty and overwhelmed all the time? Everyone else seems so together and you're stuck battling your past? I get it. My name is Rebecca Castle-Waller and I help badass women with trauma become present in their lives and in their relationships, so you can actually enjoy this life you've built.
Many of my clients grew up in chaotic and unstable homes where from a young age they started taking care of others. Making meals, waking their parents up for work, getting their siblings off to school. From there, you went on to take care of your partner and your kiddos while also working hard to keep everything running smoothly. Now with work and relationships and family drama and life you feel constantly stressed out and like you should be doing more. Oh, and you're doing all of this while facing nightmares, flashbacks, numbness, random waves of anger, and the like. Who's taking care of you?
Let's give you a space where you can be your messy, imperfect self so you can finally take care of you. It's time to heal your trauma, you've built an amazing life and you deserve to actually live it.

Todd Kline
Psychiatrist, Medical Doctorate, MD
Hey! I'm Dr. Todd Kline and welcome to my private practice. I offer evaluations and ongoing treatment within about 2-3 weeks -- sometimes sooner since I'm expanding my private practice to full time. I treat Adults and Adolescents primarily with Psychotherapy and Medications, specializing in Anxiety/Panic, Depression, Grief, Life Transitions, Mood illnesses and Attention Deficit Disorder. I take Anthem/BCBS, Cigna, Medicare, Medicaid, United, Aetna, Humana and out-of-network/out of pocket payments. I offer pharmacogenetic testing and expert consultation for patients who have tried medications before but they didn't work. After nearly 25 years of medical practice, I've earned the right to say "I got skills" and I'm also a very kind person. "Dr. Kline, you are Kind," somebody recently gave me this compliment. "Kind?" I asked, forgetting for a second how people experience me. "Yeah," she smiled, "It's a pretty good trait for a doctor." That reminded me how I was nicknamed "Dr. Kind" instead of Dr. Kline back in residency at UCHealth. When you enter my practice as a new patient, you get access to my genuine impulse to help and nuanced, sophisticated skills built over the many years I've been a physician! Together, we build a life-changing treatment plan to, right away lessen your symptoms, and over time eliminate what is causing you suffering, anguish and pain. I feel lucky and am happy to help people live better lives with the information I have learned and what I know how to teach.

Real Therapists Group
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LAC
I'm Jason Polk, LCSW, LAC — a licensed clinical social worker, couples therapist, and addiction counselor with over a decade of experience helping individuals and couples build more connected, resilient lives. My journey into this work began in my own relationships, including a painful divorce that showed me firsthand how easy it is to get stuck in patterns of disconnection and misunderstanding. Those experiences didn’t just shape my career — they fuel it.
I’m trained in Relational Life Therapy (RLT), Level II PACT (Psychobiological Approach to Couple Therapy), Clini-Coach® methods, and other relational frameworks that help people understand not just what is hurting but also why—and how to move toward trust, safety, and genuine connection.
I work with couples and individuals facing communication challenges, trust injuries, life transitions, the impact of addiction on relationships, and daily stresses that quietly weaken closeness. I believe therapy should be honest, grounded, and compassionate — a space where insight leads to real-world change.

Michael Lockwood of Scene Creative Life Solutions
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LMSW
Most men who reach out to me aren’t falling apart, they’re holding everything together while feeling numb, overwhelmed, or disconnected inside. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. You don’t need perfect words or a dramatic story to work with me. You just need the truth of where you are.
My work is grounded, direct, patient, and honest. I help men explore the deeper layers of identity, trauma, shame, and relationships, the things you were never given the space to talk about. I’m not here to lecture you or nod quietly. I’m here to help you understand yourself in a way that finally makes sense and opens something inside you that’s been shut for a long time.
If you’re ready for therapy that actually means something, I’m here for you.

Denver's outdoor culture and apparent wellness orientation coexist with high rates of depression, anxiety, and substance use — a tension many locals recognize. The city's rapid growth and housing pressures have intensified stress for longtime residents and newcomers alike, and therapists frequently address adjustment, relationship strain, and burnout tied to the city's boom-era pace. Denver has a significant veteran population given proximity to several military installations, and therapists specializing in military trauma and PTSD are well represented. UCHealth and Intermountain Health (formerly SCL Health) provide major institutional anchors alongside Denver's large and well-established independent therapy community.
