Aspen Christian Counseling

Aspen Mental Health Group is a collection of cross-cultural and cross-generational integrated resources and companies. Healing needs to be holistic.

AMHG has been an industry leader in offering step-by-step strategies for clients to uncover their desired personal and relational changes creating their sustainable reality. AMHG is here to provide that guidance, asking the right questions and helping you to find the right direction. We believe:

We are designed to be relational. Overcoming challenges and change also has to be relational. Like aspen trees that grow in clusters, sharing a root system, we also believe that we as individuals share roots with those around us. We can’t live or heal without taking into account our relationships and their impact on our lives. Healing and growth take place through relationships and understanding our family system. As counselors, our role is to help clients understand their relationships and family system for restoration and healing. By listening to our hearts, we can find the path to solutions. Challenging times provide the perfect opportunity for growth and diving into our selves. Our goal in counseling is to establish a context of growth by guiding individuals and the community towards physical, emotional and spiritual wholeness. Meaningful and effective counseling uncovers hidden desires and motives of the heart. Our clients most often come to us to address immediate crises or to alleviate presenting symptoms and suffering. But for lasting change and true growth, we must uncover and address the hidden desires and motives. Our specialists draw upon their professional training, formal education and life experiences to address the unique mental, emotional, spiritual and relational needs of each person. In addition to the specialties highlighted in their profiles, our counselors and mentors are well-equipped to serve people with an array of emotional, behavioral and historical issues. We are committed to a relational and family system perspective in approaching mental health issues, we are also sensitive to perspectives of each individual’s belief systems. In fact, we regularly counsel people of all faiths, and those who do not belong to any faith tradition at all. If you are in the midst of a challenging time and looking for immediate support and lasting change, call us today at 303-834-7389 to schedule a session.

Wondering what actually happens in a therapy session? Here's what your therapist does:
Your therapist will:
✅ Structure the session so it feels safe and manageable
✅ Guide the conversation when it gets stuck or heated
✅ Slow things down if emotions become overwhelming
✅ Help you speak from your own experience
✅ Create boundaries that protect everyone in the room
✅ Keep the focus on what's possible right now, not everything at once

Your therapist will NOT:
❌ Tell you what to do
❌ Take sides
❌ Force you to reach a specific outcome
❌ Make decisions for you
❌ Rush the process

Think of your therapist as a skilled guide through difficult terrain. They don't carry you - they help you navigate safely, one step at a time.

The session is structured, time-limited, and intentional. You're not walking into chaos - you're walking into a carefully held space where healing can begin.
That's what makes therapy different from trying to talk it out on your own.

01/26/2026

Let's redefine what "success" means in therapy.

Success is NOT:
❌ Resolving all your issues in one session
❌ Everyone leaving happy and agreeing on everything
❌ The relationship being "fixed"
❌ Never fighting again
❌ Completely understanding each other immediately

Success in therapy looks like:
✅ Being able to have a difficult conversation without it exploding
✅ Feeling heard, even if you don't agree
✅ Leaving one small step closer than when you arrived
✅ Understanding what boundaries are needed going forward
✅ Finding one small, manageable way to stay connected
✅ Feeling safer in the conversation than before

Healing isn't linear. Connection isn't instant. Change doesn't happen overnight.
But every session that brings you one step closer? That's progress. That's healing. That's success.

At Aspen Christian Counseling, we understand that the goal isn't perfection - it's possibility.

The possibility that:
You can be in the same room safely
Communication can improve, even slightly
Understanding can grow, one conversation at a time
Healing can happen, one small step forward

You don't need to fix everything today. You just need to take the next step.
Ready to take that step?

One of the biggest barriers to starting therapy? The belief that you need to be prepared.
Here's what you DON'T need to bring to your first session:
📝 A prepared speech
📝 The "right" words
📝 A clear plan for how to fix everything
📝 Proof that you're right
📝 An apology ready
📝 All your emotions perfectly organized
📝 A list of everything wrong

Here's what you DO need:
✨ Yourself
✨ A willingness to be honest about your experience
✨ An openness to the process
That's it.

Your therapist isn't grading you. There are no wrong answers. You don't need to perform or persuade or explain yourself perfectly.

Your only job is to show up and speak from your own experience - not to fix, defend, or have it all figured out.

The therapy space is designed to hold your uncertainty, your confusion, your mess. You don't need to clean it up before you arrive. In fact, the mess is exactly what therapy is for.

01/22/2026

Let's clear up some misconceptions about what therapy actually is.
Therapy is NOT about:

❌ Deciding who is right or wrong
❌ Resolving the entire past in one session
❌ Changing your beliefs or values
❌ Taking sides
❌ Forcing forgiveness or reconciliation
❌ Having all the answers before you arrive

So many people avoid therapy because they think they need to:
Have everything figured out
Be ready to forgive
Know exactly what to say
Defend their position
Come with solutions

But that's not what therapy is for.

Therapy creates a safe, structured space where difficult conversations can happen without judgment, pressure, or the need to "win."

The goal isn't to resolve everything. It's to take one step closer - to understanding, to healing, to connection.

You don't need to be ready to fix it all. You just need to be willing to show up.

Common expectation clashes in families:

Parenting styles - One partner is stricter, the other is more lenient.

Holiday traditions - "This is how my family always did it" vs. "We need to create our own way".

Financial decisions - Different values around spending, saving, and priorities.

Division of labor - Who does what at home, and is it actually fair?

Extended family involvement - How much time to spend with in-laws, how much input they have.

Spiritual practices - Different approaches to faith within the home.

Most of these conflicts aren't about right vs. wrong - they're about different backgrounds, values, and communication styles colliding.

How therapy helps you: ✨ Name the unspoken expectations ✨ Understand where they come from ✨ Find compromise and common ground ✨ Create new patterns that honor everyone.

You can't read each other's minds. But you can learn to communicate better.

01/12/2026

In therapy, you might:
* Have conversations you've been avoiding
* Hear things that are hard to hear
* Recognize your own patterns you'd rather not see
* Sit with uncomfortable emotions
* Challenge long-held beliefs

But here's what also happens:
* You finally feel understood
* Old resentments begin to heal
* Communication improves
* Connection deepens
* Hope returns

The discomfort of growth is temporary. The pain of staying stuck lasts forever.
If your relationship feels stuck, it might be time to get unstuck together.

Asking for help isn't a sign of weakness in your relationship - it's a sign of wisdom.

Many couples struggle in silence, believing they should be able to figure it out on their own. But relationships are complex, and sometimes an outside perspective makes all the difference.

Strong couples aren't the ones who never struggle. They're the ones who recognize when they need support and have the courage to seek it.

You don't have to have all the answers. You just have to be willing to start the conversation.

The new year often brings changes: grown children moving out, aging parents needing more care, blended families adjusting, couples entering new life stages, or adult siblings reconnecting.

Family dynamics aren't set in stone. They evolve, shift, and sometimes need intentional attention.

5 signs your family might benefit from therapy:

Communication has broken down - Conversations end in arguments or silence, and no one feels truly heard.

Old patterns keep repeating - The same conflicts arise during every gathering, year after year.

Major transitions are happening - Divorce, remarriage, new babies, empty nest, or caregiving responsibilities are creating stress.

Someone is struggling alone - A family member is facing mental health challenges, addiction, or grief without support.

You want to be closer but don't know how - There's a desire for connection, but invisible walls keep everyone at a distance.

Family therapy isn't about blame - it's about creating healthier patterns together.

The holiday season can bring couples closer — and it can also bring pressure. Full calendars, financial stress, and family dynamics often surface tensions that are easy to ignore the rest of the year.

If you’ve noticed more distance, miscommunication, or recurring conflict, you’re not alone. Many couples find this season highlights areas that need care, not criticism.

Couples therapy offers space to slow down, listen well, and reconnect with intention. Whether you’re dating, engaged, married, or preparing for marriage, support can help you strengthen communication, navigate challenges, and move forward together.

“Two are better than one… If either of them falls, one can help the other up.” — Ecclesiastes 4:9–10

If you’re ready to invest in your relationship, we’re here to walk alongside you.

In the midst of all the activity, let's remember the heart of Christmas:

God entered our human experience - our pain, our joy, our struggles - to bring hope and healing.

'For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.' - John 3:16

This season, if you're carrying heavy burdens, know that integrating faith with professional mental health care isn't a lack of faith - it's accepting all the tools God provides for healing.

Since 2005, we've been honored to serve the faith community with therapy that honors both your spiritual journey and emotional wellbeing.

Your wholeness matters to God - and to us.

For trauma survivors, the holidays can be triggering. Family gatherings, specific traditions, or seasonal stress may bring difficult memories to the surface.

You deserve to heal in a safe, understanding environment.

'He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.' - Psalm 147:3

Whether you're dealing with complex, acute, or chronic trauma, we're trained to walk this path with you.

Healing is possible. Hope is real.
