Relationship Issues Therapists in Denver, CO

People grow and flourish in relationship. A good long-term relationship encourages self-respect and gives the added benefit of life long connection to another person who can supports, touch and cares over a life time. I understand that long term intimacy is hard work. I help couples do this necessary work with skill, patience and tenacity. Sexual problems in a relationship cause hurt, anger, shame, and loneliness. I provide a safe informative environment to solve sexual and couple problems.

When therapy really works, the experience is soul-feeding and transformative. I work with people who want to deeply understand themselves, and any suffering they may be experiencing, as part of the path to feeling more grounded, content, and whole. This path is often mysterious and difficult, with twists and turns that can be hard to predict. But the process is also full of meaning and growth. I'm especially looking to work with people who are interested in investing deeply in this process and open to meeting multiple times per week.

I have become very interested in the brain's functioning powers and how people can learn to re-wire neural networks, using strategies that can calm, relax, heighten a sense of personal control, diminish the power of old patterns, and strengthen healthy neural pathways. Research now shows that talking about what is causing tension, stress, or discomfort for you is good for your brain. It is good to find a therapist, a trusted friend or clergy worker to confide in and improve your life. I work with children of all ages, adult individuals, and couples and families who are having difficulties.

*CapHill/Cherry Creek* I view trust and authenticity as essential conditions for positive, lasting change to occur through the therapeutic process. My down to earth, relational, and evidence-based approach to treatment enables me to create a nonjudgmental, productive space for clients of all ages to explore their thoughts, feelings, relationships, and experiences. Every therapeutic relationship is different. Therefore, I utilize a strengths-based, collaborative approach to provide clients with an individualized therapeutic experience that effectively captures their experiences and their goals.

Tired of hurting yourself and others? Ready for a change? I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families to overcome obstacles and barriers that prevent living a life of true fulfillment and satisfaction.

Dr. Jessica Reyka, Psy.D., the founder and owner of Grass Roots Healing, LLC, is a firm believer that in order to reconnect and heal, we must first go back to the "root" of the problem or concern, which often stems far back into one's life, and then work towards healing from an inward-out approach. "The stronger our roots are, the more beautiful the leaves that come from the tree"; similar to the process of therapy where we rebuild the foundation from which you view the world and create a life/beliefs/behaviors that are more in alignment with your true values and authentic self.

As a marriage and family therapist, I see relationships and the structures in which we exist as a source of healing and potential for growth – regardless if you are an individual, couple, or family system. I firmly believe in a solution-focused approach, in that everyone has the strength and resilience to find the answers to their concerns. I will be your guide in exploring and building on what is working and providing tools and strategies to improve what is not.

In addition to my professional training, my therapy is informed by my previous work as a classroom teacher, school leader, and wilderness therapy guide.

With over 11 years of clinical experience, I've found ways to provide authentic therapeutic support in a professional setting that allows my energetic and caring personality to shine through.

With others, you yearn for deep connection while doubting your ability to sustain a loving relationship.

As a licensed clinical psychologist I work with individuals and couples to create an individualized plan leading to self-discovery, fulfillment and greater authenticity. I work to create a safe relationship for clients to explore difficult aspects of their lives and to gain insight into recurring, self-defeating patterns.

I approach a client's concerns from a here and now, rapid change perspective. I believe that when we take action to improve ourselves or our circumstances, our attitude and feelings follow suit. I have been in clinical practice for 20 years, and have worked with many types of people and almost every kind of problem. I strive to balance empathy and sensitivity with helping people to move forward in the change process.
