Adeola Quintero, MFT Graduate Intern (Not accepting new patients)

It is easy to feel misunderstood. At times life can be a whirlwind of emotions, difficulties and loneliness. Relationships can be wounded through attempts at connection, and at times you may feel stuck. The tension we carry around for years can create unhealthy connections we have with ourselves and those we love. During these times, having someone walk through those difficulties with you, and help you see the best parts of yourself, can be healing. Also, learning what unhealthy coping mechanisms and patterns you may be operating in can lead to insight and clarity.

Using a systemic approach, Adeola will work with you to improve communication, raise self-esteem, connect with your experience and heal your wounded relationships. She is currently a graduate student at Regis University for Marriage and Family Therapy. Adeola has worked with couples, preschool aged children, and young adolescents. She has experience as a student-therapist, elementary teacher and preschool teacher. She has worked with populations such as blended families, interracial couples, faith communities, young adolescents, foster care agencies and has written extensively on Multigenerational Trauma within the Black community. She works with issues such as depression, anxiety, relationship issues, racial issues, self-esteem, life-transitions, spirituality, parenting.

Crystal King, PCs, (Not accepting new patients) is a graduate student at CCU working toward her LPC. She enjoys working with individuals, couples, family, adolescents, and children.

It is very difficult to heal the things we don’t allow ourselves to feel. Learning to feel our emotions without judgement can deepen our relationship to ourselves and to others. Observing our intense emotions with curiosity rather than shame can open up doors of healing that have been blocked. Focusing on awareness of ourselves, our impact on the world, and the effects of our perceptions and experiences can lead us to a greater understanding of our true selves. Authenticity prevails when emotions are something to understand and work through rather than something to avoid. Dismissing core emotions can create a buildup of anxiety and depression that we struggle to get out of. Having the support to process these emotions in a non-judgmental environment can produce growth, freedom, insight, and can take the lid off of years of destructive beliefs we unfortunately grow to accept about ourselves over time. Talk therapy with an emotional focus can be a step toward freedom from lifelong destructive patterns.

Session Format: Individual, Child, Adolescent, Couple, and Family Therapy. (Exploring oneself through the lens of the enneagram or walk therapy are both available.)

Heather Proulx, MA, LPCC (Not accepting new patients)

My goal is to assist in your discovery and integration of your authentic self and in improving your mental/emotional health. Why? I believe that emotional and mental health is part of the trilogy of optimal health: physical, spiritual and mental/emotional. It is essential. It’s a major piece of the puzzle. A dear friend of mine, Becky, recently stated “Knowing yourself is half the battle...and laughing at yourself is the other half.” Truth. Discovering, becoming, transforming, and being yourself is a forever evolving process; a process of becoming authentically YOU. Life is what we’re here to live, but how often are we living consciously, intently and with full awareness and presence as our authentic self? Therapy can help with this process. We think, feel, & behave according to our own experiences, values, & beliefs, thus seeing life through our own lens of perspective and operating from our own personal life experiences. What if such patterned operations are preventing you from living a fulfilling, joyful life? How are you programmed and living life on autopilot and out of conditioned responses and coping means that may be functional at the time, but are ultimately dysfunctional and destructive? Perhaps you have been living in ways that no longer serve you or are living according to other’s beliefs or from your childhood wounds or traumas. Maybe you’re stuck, confused and repeatedly face the same dilemmas or circumstances. The process of therapy can help you:

• Gain insight into your maladaptive, patterned thinking errors and behaviors in response to certain situations in your life, including trauma
• Understand the WHY behind your behaviors- the emotional and behavioral problems created by unconscious (hidden) internal conflicts
• Learn to harness emotional energy and change the course of your emotions (internal coping abilities).
• Shed that which no longer serves you, what you’ve outgrown or something that didn’t align with you, but you adopted anyway
• Reprogram yourself from the automatic, patterned, and maladaptive thoughts and behaviors from which you’ve been living
• Gain freedom from the deception and lies that were spoken to you that you believed and internalized.
• Discover what you are protecting, defending, or trying to control in yourself or in others
• Learn to dance and flow within relationships by increasing interpersonal effectiveness
• Experience how conflict can lead to intimacy &/or strengthen relationships

It’s time to heal and to become authentically you. I’m here to create a space where you can feel safe, heard, supported and validated through this process of finding your own truth and authenticity, and ultimately, to guide and support you through your healing journey so that you can know you, BE you and, yes, laugh at and love YOU!

Session Format: Couples, Individuals (18+), Family

Specialties: Conflict Resolution (interpersonal and personal), Anxiety/Depression, Life Transitions or Stagnation (divorce, separation, loss), Trauma, Healthy Communication, Spirituality (inclusion of, discovery of, or abuse from), Contentious Custody, and Parenting children/teens with difficult behaviors Treatment Approaches & Modalities: My therapeutic approach is Eclectic Therapy, which is a combination of therapies tailored to the needs of the client: Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solutions Focused Therapy, Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Family Systems/Systemic, Trauma Informed Care (TIC), Collaborative and Proactive Solutions (CPS), Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR), and Tapas Acupressure Technique (TAT).

Martina Mettes, BA, MFTC. I strongly believe that therapy can help you function at your best, individually, and relationally. Therapy helps to address psychological, behavioral and emotional obstacles that stand between you and how you want to be. It also can help you face difficulties with more ease, work toward resolutions and solutions, and experience more joy.

When people are not at their best, they know and feel it, but often can’t pinpoint why. They feel sad, anxious or depressed, or feel they don’t fit in or not understood by others. This can be a lonely place. Many have been stuck in their situation for a while, even years, before they look for help. It can be overwhelming. The good news is that people can and do change. Sharing and voicing your issues with a therapist can be a great starting point.

As a therapist I will be on your team. I will listen attentively and be there to help you find and express your voice that has been kept down for so long. If you come in as a couple or family, I am there to help everyone to be heard and understood and then team up with all to have healthier and more productive relationships with each other and yourself.  You, as an individual or part of the family or couple, can learn to see what is going on. You can learn to make yourself understood and understand others, you can learn to see your thinking, behavioral, emotional and belief patterns that have kept you unhappy for so long. What is great is that you can find and implement new patterns that will make your life more productive and more joyful.

Everyone starts were they are, today, no matter where that may be. It doesn’t matter where you start. What matters is that you want to go forward to where you want to be. I feel excited and privileged that I may support, encourage and accompany you on this exciting and challenging journey.

I have a bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of Colorado (Boulder) and am working on my masters in Marriage and Family Therapy at Regis University (Denver). I have worked with clients at the Regis University MFT center in Thornton. I have worked with Gottman Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) and Solution Focused Therapy.

Currently I am working on my certification in EFT. I have worked with teens, adults, elderly, couples and families. I know that many (if not all) of us have experienced trauma and that determines a lot of our obstacles. I am familiar with somatic experiencing, and brain spotting and mindfulness.

Beside my studies and certifications, the greatest teacher has been life itself. I have learned from being a mother and a spouse, from divorce and re-marriage. I am the mother of three (mostly grown) kids and stepmom of three grown step kids. Each of those journeys have given me joys and challenges and the learning continues, since none of us is ever final in our growth. I have experience with LGBTQ challenges through one of my kids, their friends and as a parent.

Things I enjoy and that have taught me also are music (listening, playing and teaching), nature, reading, foreign languages (I wish I could speak more of them), Youtube, (my) kids and stepkids, reading, traveling and talking with and listening to people.

Vanessa Fagnant, M.T.S., MFT Student Therapist 

I am a Marriage and Family Therapist graduate student at Regis University, a wife, and mother of two young children. I know the struggles of Marriage and Family, but I also know the joys.  Not only have I completed a Masters in Marriage and Family Studies (M.T.S.), I have been on my own personal journey of embracing joy with every challenge of life.  Sometimes the positive CORE emotions can be overlooked in therapy.  I believe in expanding both positive and negative experiences as outlined in Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy.  I look forward to accompanying other families, couples, and individuals in their journey to find hope and joy in whatever life brings.

My masters in Theological Studies gives me a profound respect for all humans.  I have integrated the  philosophy of “Being as Gift” into the Human Validation Model of therapy. This philosophy highlights who we are as humans, and shifts the value from what we do to who we are. So often we do not learn this message in today’s society or from our Family of Origin. Sometimes we need help shifting our view and learning to validate and affirm our unique selves.

Practice Specialties or Areas of Interest: 

I enjoy working with couples and families from all backgrounds.  I have a special heart for Latino families (since I grew up with a step-father from Peru).  I am also able to offer a unique experience for Christian and Catholic couples and families wishing to integrate God as an attachment figure (as outlined in Dr. Johnson’s book Created for Connection). I help couples and families resolve conflict by identifying the underlying emotions and cycles or patterns (using EFT).  Identifying “the cycle as the problem” helps resolve conflict and move into positive patterns and ways to communicate.

I have worked with teens for over 7 years in youth ministry (large and small group settings).  I worked with children from preschool to 8^th grade in a private school setting, so I am comfortable and willing to see families of all ages.  I use play therapy (available for all ages) and imagery to engage integration of right brain to aid processing of anxiety, depression, and relational trauma.
