David Rothman, MA, LPC
Licensed Professional Counselor
David Rothman
Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC
I’m a therapist dedicated to helping individuals and couples heal the places where relationships feel stuck, tender, or overwhelming. For more than a decade, I’ve supported people through moments of relational disconnection, attachment wounds, and the challenges that arise from substance use and life transitions. My work is grounded in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), AEDP, and psychodynamic approaches, all of which honor the power of connection, emotional safety, and the inherent capacity we each have to heal.
As a husband and father, I deeply value the meaning of closeness, vulnerability, and the work it sometimes takes to stay connected. These personal experiences shape my belief that relationships—whether with partners, children, or ourselves—are central to our well-being. I strive to bring warmth, steadiness, and genuine care into every session.
In therapy, I help clients slow down, understand the deeper patterns shaping their emotions and behaviors, and create space for new ways of relating. Whether you’re navigating conflict, rebuilding trust, healing attachment injuries, or working through the emotional impact of substance use, I’m here to walk with you—not as an expert who has all the answers, but as a partner in your growth.
My intention is to offer a welcoming, non-judgmental space where you feel seen, supported, and encouraged to explore what’s possible. Healing is relational, and you don’t have to do it alone.

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.

Christy A McCornack
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, LMHC
My approach to therapy is one that is based on a deep respect and understanding for the courage it takes to seek support through therapy. I believe that we are most happy when we live a life that is consistent with our values. This allows us to create a meaningful life in the face of the many challenges that life can present to us. My approach is strength-based and insight focused, meaning we will focus on what you do well, what matters to you, and bringing awareness to you as a whole person. For example, we will attend to feelings, thoughts, and body sensations in our sessions, with the intention of bringing more awareness of how you experience the world so you can begin to make more informed decisions and make the changes that will bring you more happiness and peace in your life.

Sarah Malone
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
You're crushing it on the outside, but on the inside your brain is running laps you didn't sign up for. You've likely tried "just relaxing," "thinking positively," or being harder on yourself, yet challenges with anxiety, OCD, perfectionism, food struggles, or relationship gridlock persist. You're not broken, you're human. And your nervous system is trying (a little too hard) to protect you. I've spent over 25 years helping people untangle the distress by using evidence-based approaches like ERP, CBT and ACT. Therapy with me is practical, collaborative and insight driven and while I don't promise quick fixes, I will give you honesty, skill and a steady presence while you do brave things. If you're ready to understand your patterns and shift them - reach out.

Lauren Jensen
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW
Welcome, I hope we can meet and work together to help you feel empowered, learn new ways to cope, and find fulfillment in your own story. I get how hard it can be to feel stuck with the struggles in life that never seem to go away or improve, and I believe change is possible. I specialize in supporting people surrounding difficult life transitions and grief/loss and help clients reduce anxiety, depression, and stress so that they can take steps to live life more aligned with their values. Examples include supporting clients with baby loss or miscarriage, anticipatory grief, health concerns, relationship changes such as divorce, and secondary trauma. My offering is solutions-focused and strengths-based and includes mindfulness as well as practical skills for self-care and self-compassion. I believe you have the wisdom within you and that you are strong and brave no matter how difficult things seem to you at this point in time. Let's work together - please feel free to reach out to me and we can talk.

Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I work with young adults and adults who feel overwhelmed, overextended, and stuck in patterns they can’t think their way out of. Often, they’re still keeping life moving on the outside. Many of my clients are high‑functioning and responsible, while privately feeling depleted, anxious, or shut down. Therapy offers a place to slow down, notice what’s happening in your body and mind, and begin shifting toward a life that feels more like your own, including how you relate to yourself and others. My style is clear, thoughtful, and deeply attuned.

Christina Song
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT-S
I believe therapy works best when it feels human, collaborative, and deeply respectful of your lived experience. I offer online therapy grounded in trauma-informed, systemic, and strengths-based care, with a strong commitment to affirming queer, polyamorous, and non-traditional relationship structures.
My approach centers safety, curiosity, and consent—both in the therapeutic relationship and in the pace of our work. I work with individuals and relationships navigating trauma, identity exploration, relational stress, and the impacts of burnout or chronic overwhelm. I also have a particular appreciation for working with helpers and clinicians, especially those carrying the weight of caring for others while trying to care for themselves.
In our work together, I aim to create a space where you don’t have to perform, explain, or justify who you are. Therapy with me is about building insight, strengthening resilience, and reconnecting with parts of yourself that may have been shaped by survival but are ready for something more sustainable and compassionate.

Ryan Ramsey
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
Are you struggling with anxiety, excessive worry, obsessive thoughts or behaviors, social anxiety, or panic? I specialize in treating anxiety disorders using Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I help clients develop healthier ways of thinking, relating to themselves, and responding to life so they can feel calmer, more confident, and more in control. No matter how long you have been struggling, there is hope that things can improve. I have helped many people reduce anxiety, gain insight into themselves, and experience greater peace and ease in their lives. I can help you, too.
I have advanced training in Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) from the Albert Ellis Institute in New York. This training has provided me with the clinical skills and knowledge to help clients identify and change patterns of thought, behavior, and belief that contribute to anxiety and emotional suffering.

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 SCL Health provide major institutional anchors alongside Denver's large and well-established independent therapy community.
