Therapists in Meeker, CO

"And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom." ~ Anais Nin Hello. My name is Karen Gano, and I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in New Mexico, Colorado, Maine, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, the District of Columbia, and Australia. I received my Masters degree in Social Work from the University of Pittsburgh, and I have over 30 years of clinical counseling experience. My specialty is what I call Empowerment Counseling. I have a Motivational Interviewing style, and I use Compassion-Focused, Client-Centered, Solution Focused Brief (SFBT), Mindfulness, and Strength Based therapies to assist clients in improving their outlook and life. I have a holistic and goal oriented practice, working primarily with women who are going through some type of life transition whether it be separation, divorce, career changes, relocation, empty nest, illness, etc. I also provide counseling to healthcare workers as I have been a practicing medical social worker throughout my career, and I have worked in trauma, emergency medicine, critical care, oncology, palliative care, and domestic abuse. We can all benefit from talking to someone now and again. It is my primary goal to empower clients so that they can build and expand their "team," discover their voice, increase self-awareness and esteem, and make wanted changes in their life. My professional and personal mantra is "Self-Care + Time = Healing." I can help you with healthy coping strategies and tools to guide you from surviving to thriving. I very much look forward to working with you!

I have been working in the mental health field for the last 27 years in which I have experience in several different genres of clientele. I have worked in both inpatient care and outpatient services. These services have included family systems, individual and family counseling, domestic violence, chemical addiction-gambling addictions, and severe mental health needs. Currently, I am serving in a correctional setting with incarcerated offenders with a specialized program for Juveniles Convicted as Adults Program assisting the offender to transfer from a correctional setting after serving at least 25 years of their sentence. To assist those to understand my clinical approach to counseling, I take a client-centered, solution-focused approached to counseling. By using both cognitive-behavioral and logotherapy techniques, I assist those who chose to engage in therapy to understand the drivers to their behaviors and addressing purpose and meaning in their lives. To understand Logotherapy, it is a school of psychology and a philosophy based on the idea that we are strongly motivated to live purposefully and meaningfully, and that we find meaning in life as a result of responding authentically and humanely (i.e. meaningfully) to life's challenges. By using Logotherapy and understanding our belief systems we can better understand how we can make changes to our thoughts, feelings, and actions.

Hello! I’m Jonathan Green, a licensed therapist with 5 years of experience. I hold a dual master’s degree in Marriage, Couples, and Family Counseling, as well as Mental Health Therapy from the University of Central Florida. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working with clients facing a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, parenting issues, life transitions, and addiction. I specialize in helping individuals manage stress and anxiety, navigate parenting challenges, and cope with life changes, as well as providing support for military personnel and veterans. As a military veteran myself, I understand the unique challenges that come with this experience. My treatment approach is client-centered, meaning I begin by listening to your concerns and goals, allowing you to guide me toward what you want to achieve. From there, I tailor the therapeutic process to use the methods that best fit your needs and will most likely bring you success based on your desired outcomes. Therapy with me typically involves both short-term and long-term goals. In the beginning, we will focus on addressing the areas that will create the largest and most immediate impact in your life. Once these key areas have been addressed, we transition into a “maintenance phase,” where we work on sustaining progress and achieving other goals that contribute to your overall well-being and everyday life. My goal is to work systematically, ensuring that we target the most pressing issues first, then gradually shift to maintaining lasting improvements. Whether you’re looking for support with a specific issue or seeking personal growth, I am here to guide you through the process in a way that feels manageable and empowering. I look forward to supporting you on your journey.
