A Denver Therapist You Can Count On

Psychotherapy

Our approach to therapy is simple: let’s grow together. You are the authority on yourself, and we believe it is invaluable to have a space where you can share your experiences free of judgment.

Sports Psychology

Develop new techniques to improve your performance on the court or field. Learn to react to situations positively, remain calm under pressure, and build mental toughness.

Group Therapy

Mitigate feelings of isolation, build lasting supportive relationships, and find shared meaning in your personal experiences during our group therapy sessions.

"Empathy is the capacity to think and feel oneself into the inner life of another person."

Hi, I’m Derek, founder of

Midtown Counseling.

If you are looking for a psychologist in Denver, I am here to support you on your journey towards mental wellness. My approach to psychotherapy is person-centered with the ultimate goal of reconnecting you with society, your loved ones, and yourself. I strive to create a space where every client feels comfortable voicing immediate reactions and processing their emotions in real time.

Too often, clients are spoken about rather than truly heard. In times of distress, it is imperative that an individual takes an active role in planning their healing process. I welcome you to the office exactly as you are and work hand-in-hand with you as you move towards wellness, however that may look for you.

Is therapy the right option for me?

One of the best parts of talk therapy is that it offers universal benefits. Everyone has experiences that cause them distress, and therapy offers an excellent avenue to work through these emotions in a positive way. According to the American Psychological Association, around 75% of Americans who participate in psychotherapy benefit from it in some capacity. Here are a few of our favorites:

Improve communication skills
Learn coping strategies to manage stress
Become empowered to tackle change with confidence
Develop fresh insights about your life, your relationships, and yourself
Process and move forward from past traumas
Create healthier habits that improve your all-around wellness
