Dr. Helene Simons

Your mental health is important.How you experience your world and cope with your feelings, influences every part of you. It impacts who you are, how you interact with others, and what you do. Every person deserves a place where they can share their most challenging experiences, cope with their feelings, and feel empowered to live life. This therapy practice was formed to provide a space for people of all ages and backgrounds to begin their paths to self-improvement. I have expertise working as a licensed psychologist with individuals of all ages experiencing various psychological issues. My areas of specialization include eating disorders, depression, anxiety, relationships, trauma, and addiction. By using an empowerment approach to therapy, I help people recognize their strengths and find motivation to make changes in their lives. Integrating my therapeutic experiences and collaborating with my clients enables me to promote health, wellness, and recovery. I enjoy helping children, adolescents, and adults build insight and improve their self-esteem and relationships. I formerly ran the Evening Intensive Outpatient Program at EDCare, an eating disorder treatment center in Denver, CO. In that role, I acted as a primary individual and group therapist, led an interdisciplinary team, and supervised doctoral-level students. I completed a Post-doctoral Fellowship at Children's Hospital Colorado Eating Disorder Program.
