Helping You Embark on a Journey towards Clarity
Strengths Based & Solution Focused
Therapy for high achieving, perfectionist women & genderqueer people in Colorado
Does this sound like you?
Being a high-achieving perfectionist can mean that you struggle to find balance and simplicity in your life. If this sounds like your experience, you might resonate with the challenges below:
Your mind is constantly on overdrive, ruminating on thoughts that you can’t let go of: the tasks that need to be checked off, the people who are relying on you to follow through, and the fear of letting anyone, including yourself, down.
You generally overthink and overcomplicate a process because you’re hyper-focused on executing everything perfectly. This makes you unsure of how to bring more mindfulness into your life.
You experience self-doubt and feel stuck in your own head - replaying conversations, interactions, and decisions that occurred throughout the day.
You feel guilt and shame whenever you’re unable to meet the expectations of others.
Your daily life feels disorganized and out of control. You’re unsure of what steps to take in order to manage your time, responsibilities, and even your emotion.
You’re excessively worried or stressed about all of the “what ifs” in your life, and the old ways of managing your anxiety are no longer serving you.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a type of therapy that helps people learn to accept their thoughts and feelings, even if they're difficult, and still commit to doing things that matter to them. Instead of fighting against their thoughts, ACT teaches people to be okay with them and focus on living a meaningful life. It's about letting go of the struggle with your thoughts and emotions and taking actions that move you towards your goals and values.

Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) is a therapy treatment that helps people learn how their thoughts can affect their emotions and behaviors. By identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, people can begin to replace them with healthier, desirable ones. CBT is used to treat a wide range of issues including anxiety, low self-esteem, perfectionism, and executive dysfunction.

Solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT) is a therapy treatment that is brief (typically 6-10 sessions) and goal-oriented. It focuses on helping people discover and implement solutions to their problems. SFBT emphasizes the importance of creating SMART goals - specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound. It can be a great treatment plan for a wide range of concerns, including building executive functioning skills.

Mindfulness in therapy is focused on bringing awareness to our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that hinder our progress toward a desired life. It is not entirely about achieving relaxation, though, it might be one of the outcomes of the practice. Through non-judgemental awareness and openness, individuals can engage with and choose an intentional way of being.
