Therapists in Lakewood, CO
Finding someone to help you in life may be a challenge. Not everyone can understand your struggles, especially if they are internal. Depression, anxiety, and other mental disorders may not show up physically in a person. A counselor based in Lakewood can help you by being the person who can understand.
Lakewood is a great place to live, and the counselors there are great people as well. If you have depression, a counselor can make you feel better by thinking good thoughts. If you have anxiety, a counselor can teach you how to control yourself. If you need a goal in life fulfilled, a counselor can help make a plan. Speak to a counselor today.

I’m Porche Corley, a Clinical Social Worker licensed in both Georgia and Colorado. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Human Services with a concentration in Family and Child Services from the University of Phoenix and my Master of Social Work from Capella University. In addition to my licensure, I hold the Board Certified-TeleMental Health Provider and Human Services-Board Certified Practitioner credentials from the Center for Credentialing and Education. I am also a certified Clinical Trauma Professional and certified specialist in anger management and grief/loss. I am deeply passionate about helping individuals navigate these challenges with compassion, support, and understanding. What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you? The first session is all about building trust and creating a strong foundation for our work together. I’ll ask thoughtful questions designed to understand your unique experiences, perspectives, and goals. It’s an opportunity for us to establish a safe and open space where you can share what’s important to you, and I can gain a deeper understanding of how I can best support you. This session is not just about gathering information—it’s about making sure we’re on the same page, with a clear understanding of what you hope to achieve moving forward. While this first meeting serves as a starting point, I want to emphasize that our approach will be tailored to your needs and preferences. Over time, we’ll refine our work together to ensure it stays aligned with your evolving goals and personal growth. Ultimately, this is a collaborative, supportive journey, and I’m here to help guide you every step of the way. Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths. In my sessions, I strive to create an environment that feels safe, compassionate, and empowering. I understand that therapy often involves vulnerability, so I focus on building a space where clients feel truly seen, understood, and supported. My tone is both empathetic and encouraging—I meet each client where they are, offering validation and kindness, while gently challenging them to grow. Our work together is collaborative and client-centered. I tailor my approach to each individual, incorporating creativity and practical strategies to promote healing, skill-building, and self-discovery. Above all, my clients often share that they feel respected and heard, with the freedom to explore their thoughts and emotions without fear of judgment. Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve. With 6 years of experience, I specialize in providing compassionate, evidence-based therapy to individuals and families dealing with a wide range of concerns, including anger/aggression, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma.

I am licensed in Colorado with 10 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma, abuse, & anger management. I also have experience working with depression. You don’t have to keep pretending you’re okay. You’ve been strong for too long—navigating life, love, and pain like you’re supposed to have it all figured out. But deep down, something’s off. You’re tired. Maybe you’re losing yourself in a relationship that’s no longer healthy. Maybe you’re struggling to set boundaries, speak your truth, or stop people-pleasing. Or maybe you’ve been through trauma that still echoes in how you love, trust, and show up. I’m Rich Yeager, LPC, and I help men, women, and older teens heal the parts of themselves that life tried to bury. I work with people who are ready to stop performing and start living, especially when it comes to relationships, self-worth, and emotional clarity. Whether you’re trying to rebuild after a toxic relationship, struggling to communicate with your partner, or still carrying pain from your past, this is the work that matters. My style is real, grounded, and straight up. I blend clinical tools with soul work—trauma recovery, boundary setting, inner child healing, and relationship repair. This isn’t surface-level stuff. We go deep, but we do it honestly, empowering, and focused on results. You weren’t meant to just survive love—you were meant to heal in it. You weren’t meant to stay silent—you were meant to be seen. If you’re ready to stop shrinking, stop repeating the same patterns, and start rebuilding a life and love that actually feel good, you’re in the right place. Let’s get to work.
