About
I find myself naturally working with my counselees to help them live more virtuous and flourishing lives. This can be done by resolving current and past issues and, most importantly, by improving the future.
I am Dr. Jim Fox, and I have over 30 years of counseling experience. I am a former pastor and a graduate of Denver Seminary, and I recently finished a second doctorate in Christ-centered counseling at Trinity Theological Seminary. I work primarily from a Christian worldview, although I respect non-Christians. I am a practitioner of Solution-Focused Psychology, a Master Addiction Counselor, and have experience with most problems, including couples problems, depression, anxiety, adjustment disorders, ADHD, and PTSD. I am an EMDR practitioner and am versed in helping those with adultery and porn addiction problems.
My approach is to work toward a better tomorrow, solve problems, and leave the past behind as quickly as possible. I am an ardent user of Positive Psychology and Summa Bonum Psychology. This type of treatment includes ways to make your life happier and help you (and your significant other, for couples) flourish by improving character strengths and values.
I work with both individuals and couples, Christian or non-Christian. You will find that I will push to make your life better. I love to listen, but I believe action helps a person grow in a positive way.

As a therapist and a mom raising three adolescent boys, I know firsthand that healing happens in the everyday moments of life, and I've devoted my career to helping individuals and families find their way through challenges toward connection, resilience, and growth.
Hi, I’m Gwen Koenig, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 30 years of experience in child welfare and behavioral health. I’ve developed a deep understanding of how trauma and adversity shape the way we think, feel, and connect with others. I welcome adolescents, adults, and families into my practice, many of whom are struggling with depression, anxiety, major life changes, or past trauma. My goal is to help you feel understood, build practical tools for managing what feels overwhelming, and rediscover a sense of hope and connection. I welcome clients of all backgrounds, including those who identify as LGBTQ+.
My approach is collaborative, warm, and grounded in the belief that you already have strengths to build on. I draw on a strengths-based lens, a person-in-environment perspective, motivational interviewing, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help you build coping skills at your own pace. You can expect a safe, nonjudgmental space with honest support.
Reaching out for help takes courage. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or ready for something to change, you don’t have to figure it out alone. I believe in your capacity to heal and grow, and I’d be honored to walk alongside you. When you’re ready, I invite you to schedule an appointment so we can begin this journey together.

As someone who has experienced dysfunctional family life , I understand the struggles that unfold and how painful the experience is. I now have a unique perspective on the deeper meaning of life and the importance of healthy relationships throughout our lifetime. Learning how to build and maintain these relationships takes time and I hope I can empower you to start that journey.
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.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

Emotional abuse counseling helps victims heal from abusive relationships. Examples of emotional abuse may include:
Emotional abuse counseling with our Thriveworks therapists in Westminster gives people the safe space they need to identify and understand the harm they’ve experienced and move forward. Through therapy, many victims have rebuilt their self-esteem and self-worth; recognized that they did not cause the abuse, but their perpetrator is responsible for the choice to harm; identified their wounds and found the treatment they need; healed from trauma; re-established their personal safety; grieved their losses; formed new, loving relationships; and learned to trust their experiences and emotions.
Emotional abuse counseling at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Emotional abuse counseling with one of our Thriveworks therapists in Westminster, CO can last for a few weeks, months, or longer, depending on the individual’s exact needs and preferences.
Emotional abuse is something that can happen to any person, at any time in their lives. Young children, teenagers and adults of all ages can suffer at the mercy of an emotional abuser. It’s a sad but true fact that so many let the abuse continue for years before they do something about it. There are others who never escape the clutches of their tormentor. Abuse can and often does have devastating consequences. There may not be any physical marks but there are plenty of deep, emotional wounds that cause pain and devastation in the lives of the victims.
If you are a victim of abuse, consider reaching out to Thriveworks Westminster for help. We can offer compassionate emotional abuse counseling, help you heal, and assist you in moving forward with your life. Reach out today to get started.
The simplest way to define most forms of emotional abuse is any act that includes the following:
These are just some of the common tactics used by an emotional abuser. Abuse of this kind includes any other treatment that aims to diminish a victim’s sense of identity, self-respect and self-worth. For many, emotional abuse therapy of some kind is their best hope for a lasting recovery.
Any form of psychological abuse or chronic verbal aggression is going to have consequences. Those who endure emotional abuse almost always end up with low self-esteem. Over time they will show personality changes too and probably withdraw from society. Quite often, three of the biggest long-term outcomes of continual emotional abuse are:
It is only once a victim has left their abuser that they can begin the recovery process. After admitting to the problem, breaking away from the situation is the last major hurdle. It’s the only thing that blocks the sufferer from their hopes of healing.
Our Westminster emotional abuse therapy professionals are here to help. We’ve been doing this for a long time now and know a thing or two about how to help patients heal.
Our doors are always open. Our highly qualified team of professionals is here to help patients jump-start their recovery in any way we can. We offer evening and weekend sessions, and accept most major insurances. Reach out today to get started.
