Sessions are 50 minutes for teens and adults, and 40 minutes for kids. In addition to various theories, such as Cognitive Behavioral, we use a strengths approach to guide therapy. This means that we identify and build on your existing strengths and learn how to temper anxiety, depression, stress, arguing, lack of focus etc. Clinicians also offer medication management in conjunction with your prescribing physicians. The first session focuses on assessment and identifying therapeutic options that are available.
When working with teens and youth we become a part of your team by reinforcing things that are working at home and adding additional strategies. With youth ages 3 to 8 CCWC clinicians utilize play therapy.

Congratulations on the upcoming nuptials! After dating, maybe living together and getting to know one another, you have decided to get married. Pre-marital counseling is about identifying and discussing many things you have explored together before like finances, values, religion, children, parenting, sex, roles, extended family and more. Together, we will identify what your expectations are in the relationship and how to discuss and share important issues.
Therapists at the Colorado Counseling and Wellness Center believe that identifying individual strengths and building on those strengths creates a foundation that helps couples throughout their relationship.
What do we do in Pre-marital Counseling?
Together, we will create a unique experience for you and your partner.
Groups consist of 4-6 women or men working on common issues that include depression, anxiety, relationships, substance use and gender specific challenges. This is a good space to work on confidence and feel good about who you are. We will also work on how you experience life around you and how you can focus on your values. Groups meet once per week or 2 times per month for 1 ½ hours.
Anger Management Group is a 12 week program focusing on learning about where anger comes from, how feelings are experienced, expressed and managed. People also learn how to manage feelings and temper their anger. Replace the previous sentence with this sentence: Then you will learn how to apply this insight and ultimately manage feelings so you are not angry as often and can cope with stressors in new ways. This group is ideal for anyone struggling with outbursts, feeling out of control, yells, cusses and/or cries uncontrollably. Some people direct anger inward and beat themselves up and commonly feel guilt, shame and worthlessness. This is a good place to learn how to feel more in control over your thoughts, feelings and behaviors and ultimately, feel more in control. Replace feel more in control with feel better about yourself.
