Teen Therapists in Colorado

Our Story

Here at Interfaith Bridge Counseling, we believe that mental health is a human right. It is to this end that we prioritize giving young people a brave and safer space for their mental health in our Colorado community.

Because our team is small, we can focus our might on these goals. A liberation-based counseling practice with these priorities has been a longtime dream of our Founder and she has been met with support by our team.

Our therapeutic Approach

Our clinical approach is rooted in a person-centered, liberation-based therapeutic perspective. Because you are the expert of your own lived experience, you are the driver of your own process in our therapeutic work together. This means we talk about and focus on what is important to you, and our therapists provide a container for insight, facilitation, and support to help you reach the outcome you’re looking for.

Our therapists pull from and integrate a variety of different therapeutic modalities to create a multicultural therapeutic experience that balances the mind and body.

We offer a unique 4-Step Support Program that has been specifically designed for teens and young adults that isn't offered anywhere else throughout Colorado.

Our 4-Step Support Program

  • Teens and young adults learn to identify their internal feelings as well as their somatic sensations. By doing this, they are able to honor these feelings and sensations, which in turn, provides a path for developing meaning and passion in their lives.

  • Teens and young adults learn how to tune-in and discover what truly engages them - what activates their emotions and their thoughts - so that they can foster their identities, values, and boundaries and move towards healthy independence

  • Teens and young adults learn how to build positive support systems by cultivating healthy relationships of accountability, consent, and inclusion with peers and adults. Thus, teens and young adults can take the steps to establishing a life-long community.

  • Teens and young adults learn the very tools and techniques that help them manage their lives, along with the challenges and opportunities that life inevitably brings with it. This way, teens and young adults can have a life of purpose, success, and autonomy.
