There are many possible reasons to seek counseling. Sadness or stress caused by anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, grief, addictive behavior or other challenges can be overwhelming. When daily functioning becomes continually difficult, it may be time to get professional counseling. Choosing an appropriate therapist can be daunting, but it is also essential to your progress both in and out of the counseling office.
It is important to feel at ease with the counselor you choose so you can develop a collaborative and trusting relationship. For these reasons, I offer an initial consultation free of charge. After our meeting, I encourage you to listen to your intuition, and if for any reason you choose to continue your search, I will be happy to refer you to another professional colleague that I believe will be suitable for you.

Services
I received my Master of Arts degree in Counseling Psychology from the University of Denver. I am a registered psychotherapist in the state of Colorado. In addition to my work in private practice, I facilitate seminars and groups in Denver, Centennial, and Littleton designed to help individuals find motivation to set and execute personal wellness goals.
Your calls are important to me. My answering service will notify me of your call and I will conact you within 24 hours. Please indicate if it is okay for me to leave a voicemail as confidentiality is not secure. Also indicate what time of day is best to reach you. You do not need to discuss reasons for your call until you speak to me unless you choose to.
Grounded in theoretical framework, my clients and I work together to explore and identify their individual needs and desires in order to create a plan for implementing positive change. The counseling techniques and methods chosen are designed to empower my clients to reach personal goals with the end result being more contentment, self acceptance, life direction and fulfillment.
Addiction can be thought of as a condition of the body. The body requires a drug or substance to avoid psychological or physical withdrawal symptoms. Addiction starts with a stage known as dependence. Physiological dependence is a body adjustment to a substance. The substance becomes a part of a "normal" state of functioning for the body.
There is a strong connection between our mental and physical health. Thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are constantly affected by our emotional and physical states. This natural process is commonly referred to as the "mind-body connection". Emotional health directly influences our general mood and outlook on life.

Report
I highly recommend Life Track Counseling! Colleen Ekback is one of the kindest and most compassionate people I have ever met. The EMDR therapy that she offers is especially helpful and has been proven in studies to significantly improve anxiety, and depression symptoms. I am thankful to have found Life Track Counseling.
