Relationship Issues Therapists in Denver, CO

AYCMARC, (We are open when everyone else is closed) asks you this question: true or false. The only person you can change is your self (surprise! answer). Hi my name is Mark M Miller. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Licensed Addiction Counselor (LAC) and the founder of at Your Convenience Mental Health and Relationship Counseling of Denver (AYCMARC). The answer to the question is false. Psychology and systems theory show us that any change in the system (family, group or society) changes the system. Therefore a more truthful axiom is the only person you can willingly change is yourself.

Welcome! I am a Stanford-trained clinical psychologist specializing in supporting growth-oriented, culturally-diverse individuals and couples who want to better understand themselves, how they relate to others and all of life. I help clients explore and develop greater meaning in their lives, foster deeper personal and professional connections, and experience and embody their most authentic selves. My style is warm, active, and genuine. I strongly believe in the importance of building an authentic and trusting relationship for therapy to be effective.

We are all striving to be our best selves, even when we're stuck in life. My approach is grounded in this belief, as well as the conviction that a collaborative and trusting relationship is the foundation for any successful therapy. Understanding together the reasons and context for your particular behaviors or feelings can help move you towards change, and holding the painful emotions we all carry around with us can be powerfully healing over time. The therapy space is here for us to work towards helping you discover your authentic self and heal.

Finding the right therapist is hard—harder than it ought to be. Especially when you’re already struggling. But it’s essential. The person of the therapist, their fit for you, and the therapeutic relationship are all more important to successful therapy than any degree, license, orientation, or even years of experience. Making the call and actually doing therapy is even harder—but worth it. Psychotherapy works. It can be one of the most significant and transformative experiences of your life. It's also a big investment of time, money and effort. I honor your courage and support your commitment to yourself to even consider it.

Therapy asks us to tap into vulnerable parts of ourselves. My clients are courageous enough to show up as their authentic selves, therefore I value being my authentic self within our therapeutic relationship. I incorporate empirically supported interventions into our time processing concerns, building self-awareness, making meaningful changes, and exploring identities. My hope is you'll find safety and comfort as we build rapport and get into meaningful work. I specialize working with individuals who desire to dedicate less time and energy to food and body image concerns, and more time to aspects of life truly important to them.

I strive to give each patient the experience of being clearly seen and deeply understood. This occurs through interactive inquiry into the unique life experiences of each person. As we explore the sources of anxiety and distress that typically bring someone in to see me, trust develops and becomes the foundation for continued growth. Gradually, suffering diminishes, and there is an increase in self understanding and personal freedom. My hope is for each patient to live fully in the present with a strong sense of self, and with the capacity to have relationships that are rich and deeply satisfying. .

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression/grief, or frustration/anger? I am optimistic we can work together to reduce these symptoms, so that you can move forward with renewed confidence and hope. Changes of life issues: death of a loved-one; marriage/divorce; loss of good health; financial concerns; or problems with relationships, often precipitate these symptoms in many people. Yet, these painful situations also present wonderful opportunities for reflection, personal growth, and resolution.

You want to not just feel better, but to GET better...and in a way that makes sense, addresses what is important to you, and is effective and empowering. Good therapy is not a temporary Band-Aid, but will help you develop knowledge and skills that last a lifetime. Real change involves a better sense of self-worth, understanding yourself and others, more tools in managing and expressing emotions, and more effective communication skills in relationships. We will clarify your main concerns and goals, identify the barriers to change, and then use your strengths and new tools to find solutions that fit your personality and lifestyle.

Relationships expose our deepest wounds, fears, desires, and needs. I work with young adults and couples in their 20s and 30s who are looking to create more connected and fulfilling relationships with others and themselves. I specialize in helping people who struggle with relationship anxiety and relationship issues to find solutions to the disconnect and anxiety they experience relationally. Do you find yourself people pleasing, worrying what others think of you, and having difficulty being authentic in your relationships? Are you conforming to be who you think others need you to be? Do you keep repeating the same relational wound?

You are unlike any other being that exists. You are a creative force. You go against the grain and it might feel like you don't fit in. Society has tried to box you in for so long that you've pushed away and hidden little parts of your soul. You may have numbed your feelings and ignored your heart's desires as a trade for comfort, stability, acceptance, and normalcy. I understand, because I've been there too, but this is what I know for sure. Our soul is crying out for true freedom.

I utilize a relational, humanistic and psychodynamic approach in working with clients. I seek to create the safety of a mutually satisfying relationship whereby clients feel empowered and energized to live their "best" life. I enjoy working with individuals who are seeking personal growth and relationship enhancement. I bring the wisdom of 30+ years of clinical experience along with my own "lived life" including personal struggle and much healing.

Do you feel frustrated or alone in your relationship? Are you and your partner speaking different languages or having the same argument on repeat? Couples therapy can help! You may be feeling like you've tried everything to improve your relationship but nothing seems to change. If so, you are not alone. I will help you move though pain from the past to shift negative patterns into healthy ones. I will help you learn to communicate effectively and from a place of love, and I will fight for your relationship until you've achieved the positive changes you desire.

Are you looking for therapy that will teach you to better understand yourself as well as teach you effective treatment solutions to maintain your mental health? Reaching out for help is the first step and is truly a sign of resiliency. Many people seek therapy when they are needing to create a positive change in their quality of life. Some people are hoping to develop coping strategies to manage distress or relationship issues, or they seek to build a sense of personal worthiness. These are all examples of wonderful therapy goals and they are often successfully achieved using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Trauma-based CBT.

I specialize in relationships, whether dating, married, with a parent, sibling, or roommates. Do you feel overwhelmed by conflicts, communication issues, and unmet emotional needs? Do you struggle with being misunderstood, managing conflict, and trusting others, and feel frustrated and resentful? Would you benefit from having effective communication strategies, conflict resolution skills, and rebuilding trust in a safe environment? If your goal is to have a harmonious relationship where both parties feel heard, valued, and connected, you’re in the right place!

“Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself” (Rumi). As a trauma survivor who went on a personal healing journey, I learned how to help others simultaneously. Healing was hard work, but finding the right therapist was a huge piece of the puzzle. Traditional therapy fails so many trauma survivors. I aim to go beyond talk therapy to find the right modality for each unique client.

I specialize in relationship issues, including codependency. I can help you break old relationship patterns, attract a healthy partner, and bring your best self to a new relationship. There is often underlying attachment trauma with codependency. I address this using a somatic (body)-based psychotherapy that heals these wounds at the deepest level. I am trained in Hakomi and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy. My ideal client is someone who is ready to change, is self-aware and self-reflective - someone who is committed to their own growth and development, and willing to put in the time and energy it takes to create a life they love.

I’m an action based therapist, where individuals and couples come to get unstuck. I will ask you to dive into the work and be ready to release unconscious narratives that are holding you back from living your most authentic life. People come to me for counseling to address many issues, but I specialize in issues in relationships, self worth, finding purpose, and trauma healing. I’m here to challenge blindspots that are preventing you from living the life and relationships you want. I offer direct, upfront, no BS type of coaching for people who need help deepening connection with self and others and discovering true identity within.
