Intensive, Team-based Treatment Program
CPW’s Intensive Team-based Treatment program provides individualized therapeutic, coaching and mentoring services. Our program offers services in Boulder and Denver that include intensive psychotherapy, family and parent support/coaching, DBT skills training, academic and career coaching, mentoring, and coordination with psychiatric services. We offer comprehensive strategies that encourage academic and career success, independent living skills, and wellness plans that incorporate exercise, nutrition, and mindfulness practices.
Individual Therapy
At the Collective for Psychological Wellness, we use long term talk psychotherapy to explore unconscious, procedural patterns that interfere with one’s life. These character patterns can cause difficulties with relationships and work.
Developing a better understanding of one’s procedural patterns creates opportunities for change. Self-understanding promotes increased compassion, kindness, and awareness without judgment. Creating significant and meaningful in-depth change through effective psychological treatment improves self-esteem, healthy boundaries, confidence, and an ability to make constructive, life generating choices.
Family Therapy
Families can experience tremendous stress during difficult developmental transitions. The shift into adolescence, young adulthood, and eventually adulthood can be quite challenging for any family. Teenagers and young adults often communicate their struggles through behaviors such as cutting, addiction, anger difficulties, and eating disorders rather than using words. We encourage talking rather than acting and we work to understand family patterns that may be contributing to problems.
Group Therapy/DBT Skills Groups
Dr. Olson and Dr. Kaklauskas facilitate the psychotherapy groups. These groups offer clients the opportunity to develop more effective communication strategies and a deeper understanding of oneself in relationship to others.
Through long term group relationships, members explore their unconscious, habitual patterns that interfere with their ability to connect well with others and practice new, more constructive ways of relating. Clients experience significant and meaningful changes in their lives outside of group through the shifts that occur in the group.
These groups are an excellent way to participate in affordable, long term treatment that can sometimes be even more effective and powerful than individual treatment.
Psychological Training
CPW offers psychological training for psychotherapists in individual, group, and family therapy with an emphasis on modern psychoanalysis, attachment focused therapy, cognitive behavior therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy skills training. We collaborate with professionals in the psychology field to offer contemporary, innovative trainings on a variety of topics.
Teletherapy
At the Collective for Psychological Wellness, we are offering all of our services virtually to protect both our clients and our team. When we shifted our practice in March to full time teletherapy, several of our clients felt skeptical about it. Since that time, they have found teletherapy to be as helpful as in person, if not better. In fact, several of our clients have indicated that they prefer it over in person psychotherapy and want to continue with this approach long-term.
Mentoring
Our mentors engage in meaningful, therapeutic relationships that support clients to manifest their goals towards independence. Our mentors collaborate with psychotherapists in the community when once or twice a week therapy may not be enough to realize the practical, logistical changes needed.
Speaking Engagements
Dr. Olson is a dynamic speaker with expertise in DBT, Parenting, and Family Dynamics. She has spoken at conferences, at universities, and on television.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy
DBT uses specific skills and strategies to help people create healthier lives. Using DBT skills on a daily basis can increase self compassion which translates into improved self esteem and more functional relationships with family members, friends, and co-workers. DBT skills teach practical, concrete steps toward better problem solving, conflict management, and overall communication.
