Compassionate Care for Every Stage of Life

Finding the right support shouldn’t be complicated. Whether you are a parent worried about your child, a veteran navigating civilian life, or a couple seeking to reconnect, you have come to a safe place.

At 70 West Counseling in Arvada, we are a dedicated team of Licensed Therapists and Clinicians committed to meeting you exactly where you are. We believe mental health is a journey, not a destination, and no one should have to walk it alone. To ensure care remains accessible, we also work with skilled Counselor Interns, allowing us to offer affordable counseling options while providing high-quality support for your unique story.

Child Play Therapy session using Sand Tray techniqueChild Counseling & Play Therapy

Children experience the world intensely, often facing big emotions they don’t yet have the words for. When this leads to acting out, school refusal, or withdrawal, it can feel overwhelming for the whole family.

 

At 70 West Counseling, we specialize in Play Therapy to treat issues like ADHD, anxiety, and trauma. We focus on early intervention, helping your child build emotional regulation and confidence so they can thrive at home and in the classroom.

Adolescence is a challenging transition for both teens and parents. We offer a confidential space for middle and high schoolers to explore their identity, manage social anxiety, and navigate the pressures of social media and academic stress.

We look beyond the behavior—whether it’s withdrawal or defiance—to understand the root cause. Our goal is to help your teen build resilience and self-worth while bridging the communication gap between you and your child.

Life rarely follows a straight line. Whether you are navigating anxiety, depression, or career burnout, you do not have to carry the weight alone. Individual Counseling offers a confidential partnership to process unresolved trauma and manage life transitions.

Even if you look fine on the outside, internal struggles can be exhausting. We provide a space to unmask and be real, helping you break old cycles and build a life that aligns with your personal values.

We understand that military life is not just a job; it is a culture with unique challenges that affect the entire family. We proudly serve Active Duty personnel, Veterans, and their families with culturally competent, trauma-informed care.

We accept TRICARE West to ensure you receive the accessible, high-quality treatment you have earned. Whether you are navigating deployment cycles, managing PTSD, or dealing with the strain of frequent relocations (PCS), we prioritize confidentiality outside the chain of command. We also support military spouses and children carrying the invisible weight of service, helping them navigate the unique stressors of military culture.

Even the strongest relationships experience rough patches. Whether you are dealing with communication breakdowns, the aftermath of infidelity, or simply feeling like “roommates,” we help you rebuild trust and intimacy.

We offer specialized marriage counseling and couples therapy to address the root of your disconnect. We provide a neutral ground to navigate conflict constructively and break negative cycles. From pre-marital counseling to navigating parenthood or an empty nest, we equip you with the tools to deepen your connection and move forward as a united team.

When one family member struggles, the entire unit feels the impact. We view the family as an interconnected system, working with you to restore balance. We support families through major transitions—such as divorce, grief, relocation, or blended households—as well as ongoing conflicts between parents and children.

Our therapists facilitate open communication, helping you identify unhealthy patterns and set appropriate boundaries. By giving every family member a voice, we help resolve deep-seated conflicts and build a supportive home environment where everyone feels heard, respected, and valued.

Societal expectations often condition men to suppress emotions, making it difficult to seek support. However, asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. We provide a straightforward, confidential space to address issues specifically affecting men, including anger management, relationship struggles, work stress, and depression.

We understand the pressure to “provide” and the isolation that often comes with it. Our focus is on practical, solution-oriented strategies to help you build a “toolbox” for life’s challenges. We help you navigate modern fatherhood and personal growth without compromising your masculinity, leading to a more authentic life.

Is the weight of “having it all” leaving you depleted? Many women feel like the “designated worrier” of the family—managing schedules, emotions, and careers while putting their own needs last. You might feel guilty when you rest or find yourself running on adrenaline just to get through the day.

70 West Counseling offers a space to reclaim your voice. We specialize in helping women navigate life’s unique seasons, including:

  • Reproductive Mental Health: Fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, and menopause.

  • High-Functioning Anxiety: For those who look like they have it together but are racing on the inside.

  • Trauma & Relationships: Healing from past wounds, domestic violence, or navigating divorce.
