Individual and Relationship Therapy Center: Couples, Individual & Family Therapy in Denver, CO

We are Emotionally Focused Therapists (EFT) who specialize in relationship counseling, couples counseling, individual therapy, and family therapy in Denver, CO. As EFT therapists, we believe that we are all wired for emotional connection. From the time we are born, we seek out emotional connection with others, and this need for connection continues throughout our lives. However, when we experience stress, trauma, or other challenges, our ability to connect emotionally can become compromised. This can lead to feelings of isolation, disconnection, and even depression and anxiety. At the Individual and Relationship Therapy Center, we are dedicated to helping people just like you (re)discover the joy in their life and in their relationship(s).

We welcome individuals, couples and relationships of all types, backgrounds and orientations and provide a safe and inclusive environment for all of our clients.

When you are with us, you WILL feel heard and understood, and we help you find your way (back) to the life and relationship you want!

Getting Started

Getting started is simple. Your first step is a free phone call with our Client Engagement Specialist, who will talk with you about what you’re looking for and help you find the right therapist. We are primarily an in-person practice, located at 425 S. Cherry Street, Suite 810, just east of Cherry Creek, and we offer online sessions for clients elsewhere in Colorado. Session fees range from $80 to $250 for 50 minutes and $120 to $375 for 75 minutes, depending on your therapist. We accept HSA and FSA cards, and while we don’t participate with insurance companies, we can provide documentation for out-of-network reimbursement. Have more questions? Visit our Frequently Asked Questions or call (720) 639-7724.
