Therapy Services in Greeley, Colorado

At Aspen View Mental Health, we offer a range of evidence-based therapies tailored to support adults struggling with mental health conditions. Our goal is to provide personalized treatment that addresses each individual’s unique challenges, helping them find stability, healing, and long-term well-being.

Types of Therapy Offered at Aspen View

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT is one of the most widely used and effective forms of therapy for conditions like anxiety, depression, PTSD, and ADHD. It focuses on identifying negative thought patterns and replacing them with healthier, more constructive ways of thinking. Through CBT, our patients learn practical coping skills to manage symptoms and regain control over their emotions.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

DBT is particularly effective for individuals dealing with emotional dysregulation, bipolar disorder, and PTSD. This therapy teaches skills in distress tolerance, emotional regulation, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness. By learning to manage overwhelming emotions and improve communication, patients can develop healthier relationships and a more balanced mindset.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

For individuals struggling with trauma and PTSD, EMDR is a powerful tool. This therapy helps patients reprocess traumatic experiences using guided eye movements that reduce the emotional impact of distressing memories. Over time, EMDR can help desensitize individuals to past trauma, allowing them to move forward without being held back by painful experiences.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

ACT encourages individuals to accept their emotions rather than fight them. This therapy is particularly helpful for those with anxiety, depression, and PTSD, as it promotes mindfulness, self-acceptance, and values-driven behavior. By learning to focus on what truly matters, patients can build a life that aligns with their personal goals and well-being.

Psychodynamic Therapy

This therapy explores how past experiences, unconscious thoughts, and deep-seated emotions influence present behaviors. It is particularly beneficial for individuals with long-standing emotional struggles, relationship difficulties, or unresolved trauma. Through self-exploration and deeper understanding, patients can work toward lasting emotional growth.

Motivational Interviewing (MI)

MI is a client-centered approach designed to help individuals find internal motivation for change. This technique is especially useful for those who feel ambivalent about treatment, helping them overcome resistance, build confidence, and take proactive steps toward better mental health.

Exposure Therapy (ET)

Exposure therapy is a form of behavioral therapy designed to help individuals gradually face and reduce their fear or distress toward specific triggers. It is particularly effective for treating anxiety disorders, PTSD, OCD, and phobias by systematically exposing individuals to the source of their fear in a safe, controlled environment.

Family Therapy

Family therapy focuses on improving communication, strengthening relationships, and resolving conflict within the family system. It helps families develop healthier interaction patterns and create a more supportive, stable environment for long-term emotional well-being.

At Aspen View Mental Health, we believe in individualized care that meets the needs of each patient. Whether you are seeking therapy for anxiety, ADHD, depression, PTSD, or other mental health concerns, our expert clinicians are here to help you find the path to healing and betterment in Greeley, Colorado.

Individual Therapy: Personalized Treatment and Deep Healing

Individual therapy provides a private, one-on-one setting where patients work closely with a licensed therapist to explore their thoughts, emotions, and personal challenges. This approach is highly beneficial for individuals who need:

  • Personalized strategies to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and more.
  • A deeper exploration of underlying trauma, thought patterns, and emotional struggles that contribute to mental health concerns.
  • A safe and confidential space to discuss sensitive issues without external pressure.
  • Tailored therapy techniques such as CBT, DBT, EMDR, and psychodynamic therapy based on individual needs.

Through consistent one-on-one sessions, patients gain insight, coping skills, and emotional stability, helping them navigate daily challenges more effectively.

Group Therapy: Connection, Support, and Shared Growth

Group therapy creates a supportive environment where individuals can connect with others facing similar challenges. Led by licensed therapists, these sessions provide:

  • A sense of community that helps reduce feelings of isolation and loneliness.
  • A space to share experiences and learn from others, gaining new perspectives on mental health struggles.
  • Opportunities to practice social skills, emotional regulation, and communication in a structured setting.
  • Peer encouragement and motivation, reinforcing the idea that healing is possible.

Group therapy is particularly effective for building social connections, developing coping strategies, and fostering a sense of belonging, which is essential for long-term mental health. 

When combined with individual therapy, patients receive both personalized guidance and community support, leading to a more holistic and effective recovery journey.

At Aspen View Mental Health, we integrate these therapies into our programs to provide comprehensive and individualized care. By combining individual therapy for deep personal insight with group therapy for connection and shared learning, we create a well-rounded approach to mental health treatment. Our goal is to help individuals develop effective coping strategies, build resilience, and foster long-term emotional well-being in a supportive and healing environment.

These therapies provide structured, results-driven approaches that help individuals build resilience, improve emotional well-being, and enhance daily functioning.
