Life…
A word that provokes all sorts of feelings and ideas. Sometimes it stirs up overwhelming feelings
Depressed…Anxious…Fearful…Confused…Hurt…Lonely… Angry
Over time, these feelings can break down your sense of self-confidence and self-esteem. You find yourself wondering if life will always be this demanding. Thinking that next week, or next month, things will calm down and you will have a chance to find yourself again…but it never seems to happen.
Be Empowered…
to Thrive as an Individual and become the person you long to be
Life wasn’t supposed to be this hard. You knew there would be challenges but this isn’t what you pictured. Maybe you feel exhausted from the demands of work and obligations pulling you away from the people you love. Or maybe there’s something missing in your life that you just can’t seem to identify. You’ve got all the things and achieved all the milestones you thought you should by now, but it’s hard to be excited or even genuinely happy on a day-to-day basis.
The dream of living life with joy and fulfillment seems to be a distant memory, the passion and drive seems lost. Is there hope? Well there is and many people re-discover and re-ignite the passion and zest for life. Learning new ways to process and restructure thoughts and feelings is a key step in this process. With the help of a Licensed Mental Health Professional it may be possible.
Aspen Life Counseling Can Help.
Therapy is a collaborative process where you and your counselor work together to explore things in life that may not be working well. This is a uniquely safe space where you can truly be yourself, without fear of judgement. Where you can pause to breathe and focus on being your best self. Together, with your therapist, you identify areas for growth, learn better skills for handling your negative thoughts and feelings and implement changes to reach your goals for a better life. Counseling can help you to manage the symptoms that stand in the way of being happy, whether it be anxiety, depression or relational issues.
Aspen Life Counseling provides a non-judgmental space for you to explore your life, regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, or relationship status.

Our Counseling Services for Couples
Marriage Therapy
Couples Relationship Counseling
Want to improve your relationship?
Want to feel the way you did when you first started dating?
Of course, we all do. Has time left you…
Co-Existing, feeling like roommates and wishing to re-ignite the spark of passion? You know you still love each other, but you long for that “in love” feeling.
Wishing time would heal wounds of the past?
Struggling to connect?
Feeling the pain that has given way to indifference.
This was NOT THE PLAN. You set on a course and nothing was going to come between your love, and yet here you are.
Be Empowered…
to Thrive as a Couple and have the relationship you always wanted
Time might be the great “healer” and it is certainly the great “revealer”. In relationships this idea can truly manifest in challenging ways. When you first met you no doubt had hopes and dreams. Now days, months and years later you discover this harsh reality…LIFE HAPPENS and people change (or…. don’t). And, dreams don’t always turn out the way you thought. You may feel like you are in a battle more than a union, tearing down instead of building up.
The dream of living life as “we” instead of “me” may be a distant memory. The connection seems lost. The memories and butterfly feelings of dating have long faded. Is there hope? Well there is and many people re-discover and re-ignite the passion seemingly lost in the relationship. Learning to love and respect your partner for the long haul may not seem feasible, but with the help of a Licensed Marriage Therapist it may be possible.
Aspen Life Counseling Can Help.
Couples counseling offers a unique opportunity where you and your partner can feel safe to explore your relationship. With the help of a trained marriage therapist, you can look at the barriers that are keeping you from having the connection you desire. Our goal is to facilitate open discussion about the obstacles in your relationship, hurt and resentments that have built over time and other concerns that prevent you from growing together and as individuals. Our focus is on helping you find the connection you are longing for and become the couple you truly desire to be.
Aspen Life Counseling utilizes a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, who specializes in a variety of relationship counseling and systemic approaches tailored to help you reach your goals and provide the kind of care that acknowledges the uniqueness of your relationship.

You are not alone. The busyness of life (kids, school, jobs, appointments, etc.) and the countless obligations that seem to have torn you apart do not have to.

Despite the many challenges that get in your way, you can learn better ways to communicate and show the admiration and appreciation that still exists in your relationship.
It’s time to rejuvenate and work toward a better life together. Let’s sit down and see what we can do to bring back those early day feelings with the maturity and experience that life brings. It’s not easy, but the road is possible.
