OUR PROGRAM PHILOSOPHY
 
The program philosophy of the clinical staff of Denver Psychotherapy and Consultation Services, LLC is rooted in a deep understanding of the dynamic and complex interplay among biological predispositions, early developmental experiences, and current life situations. We see the importance of how early experiences can shape perception and reality, and at the same time we also strongly believe in the power each individual, couple, or family has to make new choices and to create new options in life.

At its foundation, our program philosophy employs a developmental model. We then infuse this with principles and practices that are richly influenced by person-centered, systemic, harm-reduction, multicultural, and social-justice perspectives. Additionally, because we specialize in the treatment of trauma (and its many subsequent negative impacts, such as addictions, compulsions, depression, anxiety, self-harming behaviors, and relational problems) we also draw strongly from Judith Herman's model of trauma recovery, Marsha Linehan's model of working with chronic crisis behavior and  interpersonal chaos, and many of the somatically-oriented models of working with developmental and situational trauma. These include the work of Stephen Porges, Francine Shapiro, Peter Levine, Pat Ogden, Bessel van der Kolk, Robert Scaer, and Colin Ross. In addition, we draw significantly from the contemporary couple and family systems models developed by Brent Atkinson, John Gottman, and Susan Johnson as well as from the more traditional models developed by Jay Haley, Cloé Madanes, Salvador Minuchin, Virginia Satir, and Steve de Shazer.

Because our clinical staff are all educators as well as clinicians, our program philosophy also incorporates an appreciation for making learning opportunities available to our students, interns, and externs. This practice benefits both our student learners as well as our clients because it enables us to see things from many perspectives
and to stay current with new trends and best practices in our field.

Based on our program philosophy, new clients are generally accepted into our practice into one of the following levels of care:
  • Level I: Safety and Stabilization
  • Level II: Therapy and Maintenance
  • Level III: Personal Growth and Development
Our clinicians work with each individual, couple, or family, as well as their support systems, to determine which level of care is most appropriate for the individual, couple, or family. Based on this conversation, our clinicians then develop a customized plan of care that supports each individual, couple, or family to achieve the goals that they have established.
