Therapists serving clients in Golden, CO

I understand asking for help can be difficult, scary, empowering, exciting, hard, and new all at the same time. You may think asking for help makes your weak, but I am here to reframe this belief. Asking for help or seeking out a counselor makes you resilient and strong. I am a strengths based and client centered clinician, meaning I believe you are always the expert in your own life. It can be challenging to see yourself as an expert in your life when you feel lost, confused, overwhelmed, depressed, anxious, angry, or sad, but I believe we can work together to help you uncover the path out of whatever darkness you may be feeling. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in the state of Colorado. I have worked extensively with individuals experiencing profound mental health difficulties, both inside and outside the criminal justice system. In my private practice, I specialize in the treatment of individuals struggling with severe and persistent mental illness, as well as mood disorders. I am also proficient in working with clients who are challenged by depression, anxiety, trauma, stress, mania, substance use disorders, and disordered eating. Much of my training has been focused on working with individuals who are or who have been incarcerated or who are trying to reintegrate into the community. I have also worked with athletes at various stages in their careers, from youth just beginning to explore sports, to the most elite athletes, and athletes in or contemplating retirement. I have ample experience working with individuals who have experienced job related trauma including law enforcement personnel, firefighters, nurses, and other first responders. Lastly, I am passionate about working with individuals who identify as LGBTQAI or individuals questioning their identities. I have worked extensively with clients who identify as transgender, gender non-conforming, non-binary, agender, and many other clients who identify as gender queer. I also have experience working with clients with a variety of sexual identifies, including queer and non-queer folks who are part of the Kink community. Whether your current struggles relate to your sexuality/gender identity or not, having a clinician who understands and affirms your identity is critical when you are doing work on yourself. I received my bachelor’s degree in Environmental Studies with a focus on Environmental Justice from Mount Holyoke College in 2004. I earned my MA in Coaching and Sports Administration with a focus on Sports Psychology in 2006 from Montclair State University. I received my MSW degree with a focus on Mental Heath from the University of Denver in 2017. My goal is to help you lead your best life, to help you become aware of and take steps toward fulfillment (whatever that looks like for you), to establish boundaries, to accept love, to find your passion and purpose, to help you feel present in your own life. I utilize a variety of treatment modalities including but not limited to: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and Narrative Therapy. I am excited to work with you and look forward to helping you lead your best life!

Greetings! I am elated that you have found your way to my profile. This is an exciting time for you, and I applaud you for taking the first step (of many) in seeking the support that is needed to allow your journey to begin. You are stronger than most, because you have made a decision to get help, and I would be grateful to help you get to your goal. Let me introduce myself, and what I can offer in order to support you to the fullest. I am a career minded person, that believes that everyone has the uncanny ability to be better today then they were yesterday, and more room to improve themselves tomorrow. I love to laugh, and I love to be real with people. I have dedicated my career to the counseling field since 2001, and can openly say I have not one regret for the career path I chose – I often think that counseling chose me! I have a master’s degree in Community Counseling from Adams State University (2009) and a Doctorate degree in Clinical Counseling, with an emphasis in Neuropsychology from University of the Rockies (2013). I currently hold a license in Colorado as well as in Oklahoma as a Licensed Professional Counselor. I have been steadily refining my counseling skills in a multitude of settings since 2001. My experience draws from dedicating 12 years of counseling at an inpatient psychiatric hospital, while also working with active military, veterans, and their families. My most current professional clinical settings have been working within the Oklahoma and Colorado prison systems, as well as with the juvenile detention centers. I currently hold the position of Clinical Director, and this position gives me great pleasure as I have the opportunity to work directly with clients, as well as have the opportunity to help other counselors grow professionally and hone their skills. I have a great passion for supporting others and helping them build themselves up, in order to make positive life choices, and reflect a pay-it-forward attitude. I have had the pleasure of helping individuals on their journey heal from past abuse, discover their self-esteem, and grow to discover that they do have the confidence to live their lives fully. My therapeutic style is truly eclectic, and adjusts to meet the needs of the person requesting support. I truly subscribe to the ideology that one size does NOT fit all. And this is the beauty of being you, you are an individual and your sessions will be just as individualized as you are. To give a glimpse of what a session would look like, and to add some structure, I utilize a strength-based approach, closely followed by the Rogerian Therapy methodology, more commonly referred to as client-centered. You know you best, and I want for you to be comfortable in teaching me all that there is to know about you, so that we can help you reach your goals. I will be there to guide you, encourage you, possibly even challenge you if I feel you are unknowingly allowing obstacles to stand in your way. If this kind of therapeutic relationship sounds like it could work for you, then I welcome the opportunity, with open arms and an open mind, to join you on your journey of awakening, healing, and self-discovery. I hope to work with you soon! Bobbie Warren, PsyD, LPC

I am delighted that you have decided to consider counseling. I know the decision to seek counseling is important to you and hope we find I am a match for your journey of self-improvement. I believe that all who come to counseling possess a strength and courage that allows them to create a better and more fulfilling life. Whether you are feeling frustrated, lonely or depressed, I know there are many ways for you to begin to understand yourself and make progress. You might be unhappy with your relationships or the sense that there is more to life than what you are experiencing now. You may be relatively happy with your life and relationships, but want to find an even better way to live your life. All of these issues can be addressed in counseling. I believe the counseling relationship involves working together to develop a plan for your improvement. Sometimes you may need a listening, non-judgmental person to help you focus. Other time you may want a bit of advice on next steps. The key is to make sure you understand and trust the process so that your goals are in the forefront of each interaction. I love the ability people show with implementing change is his/her own unique way. I have worked for many years in healthcare. I became interested in counseling through my work with sleep disorders. While a guest lecturer at Stanford, I became familiar with the mental health aspects in this field. I wanted to gain more skills in this area so embarked upon a Master's degree in counseling. Quickly I became interested in much more in mental health than just sleep disorders I began a private practice 13 years ago where I work with many different kinds of issues. I work with people struggling with depression, anxiety, general life changes as well as sleep related problems. It has been so gratifying to have the privilege to work with all clients who are in the process of transforming their lives.
