Jesse Bean

Jesse Bean

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 8 mi away • Denver, CO


Just a few years ago, I was caught up in a cycle of self-doubt, shame, and failure. I was early on in adulthood, and already I felt completely worn out; I was convinced my life would end in ruins. Eventually, I was able to seek counseling, and this became a significant factor in helping me find a new sense of hope and freedom. I became a counselor out of a desire to share this gift with others. I aim to create a safe space where my clients can discover new hope on their journey. When you walk into my office, I want you to know that you are welcome here; you belong, and you matter.

Tim Kitchens

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 13 mi away • Denver, CO


Hi, I'm Tim and I've been in the counseling field for the past 6 years now, where I have worked in various settings helping individuals parcel out what's going on for them at that given moment. What I have come to learn during these past 6 years is to listen for what might be the underlying factors that are causing disruption or consequences in one's life. My training has allowed me to develop this approach through existential, humanistic, and behavioral psychology models. We have a lot going on and things get enmeshed in our lives. I'm here to listen.
