Our therapists provide couples & marriage counseling in Denver, CO

I graduated in 2012 with my master's in social work from Fordham University in NYC. I worked in psychiatric hospitals do intakes and assessments, an substance abuse facility, as well as doing in home mental health counseling for adolescents and adults. Throughout my 14 years of experience, I have enjoyed doing private mental health therapy the most and have specialized in working with couples, marriages and families. My clients have brought many everyday struggles to my practice including infidelity, loss of connection, family conflict, domestic abuse, addictions within the family and blended family struggles.

I have been trained on the Gottman and Emotional Focused Therapeutic techniques for my couples. Both of these techniques have a lot of eye-opening information that has brought a lot of help to couples and families struggling in their relationships. I have also been trained on ACT and CBT approaches for my individual clients seeking emotional stability.

I look forward to meeting each one of you, hearing your story and walking with you in your journey to emotional stability and healing your relationships.

Kayla Thompson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who’s passion lies with couples and individuals with concerns about life transitions, anxiety, grief, and trauma. Kayla also works collaboratively with individuals and couples struggling with substance abuse, addictions, and unhealthy coping habits. Kayla is informed in mindfulness, anxiety, Internal Family Systems, trauma, and nutrition for mental health.

Kayla utilizes an integrated approach highlighting certain aspects in Internal Family Systems, cognitive behavioral techniques, and narrative based approaches. She believes humans are social beings who all need a sense of belonging and the past uncovers aspects that are affecting the present. There are often so many cliches to counseling; “feeling stuck” or “how to empower you.” Both which can be true and also a reminder the only reason you need to attend counseling is because you want to.

Kayla always enjoys watching clients transform into their true selves. She understands from personal experience that some transitions are painful/confusing and expressing yourself can be challenging. Her philosophies include helping clients work towards a healthier and happier lifestyle and to help them develop beneficial outlets and coping skills. Through Kayla’s warmth and outward empathy she strives to be a supportive, inspiring, and at times a challenging counselor to help her client’s achieve their goals.
