Specialties in Individual Catholic Therapy

Our Catholic therapists offer specialized care tailored to the diverse needs of our clients. Below are some of the key areas we address:

Anxiety

Anxiety can be overwhelming, manifesting as persistent worry, physical symptoms like a racing heart, or avoidance of daily activities. At Denver Catholic Counseling, we use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and challenge negative thought patterns, develop coping strategies, and build resilience. Through systematic exposure to fears, guided by a compassionate therapist, clients learn to manage anxiety with confidence and peace, grounded in their faith.

Depression

Depression can sap energy, hope, and purpose, making daily life feel overwhelming. Our Behavioral Activation (BA) approach encourages clients to re-engage in meaningful activities, relationships, and self-care. By taking small, intentional steps, clients can rediscover joy, motivation, and a sense of purpose, supported by Catholic values that emphasize hope and renewal.

Panic Attacks

Panic attacks can be intense and frightening, with symptoms like shortness of breath, dizziness, or fear of losing control. Using CBT for panic attacks, our therapists help clients identify triggers, challenge anxious thoughts, and practice calming techniques. In a faith-based environment, clients gain tools to reduce the frequency and intensity of panic attacks, restoring peace and confidence.

Family and Relationship Issues

Strained relationships or family conflicts can lead to feelings of isolation or misunderstanding. Our therapists guide clients in developing effective communication skills, fostering empathy, and resolving conflicts with respect and compassion. Rooted in Catholic principles, our therapy strengthens family and relationship bonds, promoting unity and mutual understanding.

Grief and Loss

Grief, whether from the loss of a loved one or a significant life change, can feel overwhelming and isolating. Our therapists provide a safe space to process emotions, honor memories, and find hope through mindfulness, emotional expression, and spiritual reflection. Guided by faith, our grief counseling helps clients navigate their journey toward healing and acceptance.

Trauma and PTSD

Trauma and PTSD can disrupt trust, relationships, and daily life, with symptoms like flashbacks, nightmares, or persistent fear. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Prolonged Exposure (PE), our therapists help clients process traumatic memories, reduce their emotional impact, and regain a sense of safety. This faith-informed approach fosters healing and resilience, empowering clients to reclaim their lives.

Borderline Personality Disorder, Suicidality, and Self-Harm

Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) can lead to intense emotions, unstable relationships, and challenges like suicidal thoughts or self-harm. Our Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) program teaches skills in mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Rooted in empathy and faith, this approach helps clients build stability, resilience, and a fulfilling life aligned with their values.

Spiritual and Faith-Based Struggles

Spiritual struggles, such as doubts in faith or feelings of disconnection from God, can deeply affect well-being. Our Catholic therapists provide a compassionate space to explore these challenges, using prayer, reflection, and clinical insight to foster spiritual renewal. Clients are guided toward a deeper relationship with God and a renewed sense of purpose.

Scrupulosity

Scrupulosity, a form of OCD involving obsessive thoughts about sin or moral failure, can disrupt one’s spiritual life. Using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), our therapists help clients confront fears, resist compulsive behaviors, and embrace God’s mercy. This faith-based approach promotes spiritual peace and a healthier relationship with faith.
