Along your path you may run into problems or find yourself stuck. I see the problems and challenges you face as a calling and an opportunity for growth, rather than a personal failing or pathology. My approach seeks to create an empowering context for growth that involves your whole being. I don't subscribe to any one theory or technique.
Instead I draw from a number of approaches including mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy, self-compassion, neuroscience, and my own intuition. If you are looking for a psychologist Denver residents, who offers a focus on personal growth and not just symptom relief, please read on. I help people experience their psychological pain and life challenges as an opportunity for growth, a calling to blossom.

Services
Clients interested in psychotherapy typically struggle with some kind of psychological pain like depression, anxiety, or stress. As a therapist, I'd like to help you find more than just relief from pain. I'd like to help you create a life that makes you happier. Rather than just talking, we will use mindfulness exercises to look at your experience from a new angle.
You are the artist of your own life and as such you can find a way to create what you truly want. Personal transformation work covers a wide range of spiritual and personal growth goals and is focused on making some kind of shift in yourself or your life. Growth can be difficult. We may tell ourselves that what we really want can't be had or that it's not important enough.
I have nearly 20 years experience practicing mindfulness and over 10 years teaching mindfulness to individuals and groups. Mindfulness can be practiced in many different ways and you don't need hours a day to learn it. In fact, some practices take just a few minutes. Mindfulness decreases depression and stress and improves concentration, and these are just a few of the benefits mindfulness offers.

Dr. Smith has been instrumental in my personal growth and well-being. She helped me navigate through a variety of issues and pain points. I learned so much in each of my sessions with her but, more importantly, she gave me tools so that I could navigate challenging situations in my daily life on my own. Dr. Smith personalized each session towards my wants and needs. I was particularly interested in the therapeutic benefits of mindfulness and meditation. She helped me build up a regular meditation practice that is now a core component of my well-being. Can't thank Dr. Smith enough!

Dr. Smith was welcoming and understanding from the very moment I met her. Through my work with her, I felt comfortably pushed - she guided me to new understandings about myself in a pressure-free, judgement-free environment. I leave each session with practical tools to use in my everyday life. Great experience!

I have nothing but the utmost praise for Christa. She was able to listen to my needs and give me the tools that I needed to overcome obstacles and to appreciate life in a whole new way. Her approach was tailored specifically to my needs. Christa focused on providing me with the ability to recognize my emotions and handle them in an appropriate manner. This approach has left a permanent positive impact on my life and truly changed it for the better. I would strongly recommend her.
