Free 1/2 Hour Consultation; Most Insurance Accepted; Sliding Scale Fee (303) 886-0521 msaltness@psychsaver.com My name is Melissa Saltness. I am a licensed psychotherapist with a private practice in Denver, Colorado since 2001. My office is conveniently located to serve Denver and surrounding metropolitan cities. If you are having problems with stress or anxiety; depression; grief/loss; bipolar disorder and/or mood swings; addiction; an eating disorder; obsessions/compulsions; a spiritual or existential crisis; or if you have a minor problem with your job or a relationship; counseling can be very helpful. I can help you gain awareness and insight into whatever difficulties you may be experiencing, as well as changing self-sabotaging behavior, irrational beliefs and destructive thoughts. If you feel you need relationship counseling or marriage counseling, don't wait until it's too late. I can help by teaching you mindfulness-based communications techniques, by identifying false assumptions and misunderstandings, and by helping you and your partner to understand that every experience we have changes us in a subtle or overt way and that we do have the capability to transform ourselves; therefore it is not healthy to hold onto past resentments and judgments. Unhealthy psychological thoughts and beliefs take their toll and eventually cause us to become disillusioned, unmotivated and unhappy and these states of being can affect many aspects of our lives such as our job or relationships. Being unhappy takes a lot of energy and it is negative, non-renewable energy. Everyone has their ups and downs and we all deal with problems and stresses in our lives, but we can still appreciate and enjoy our existence. I help my clients achieve a healthy, balanced life. ________________________________________________________________________ I
SPECIALIZE IN MARRIAGE COUNSELING AND RELATIONSHIP ISSUES, AS WELL
AS INDIVIDUAL PSYCHOTHERAPY Sometimes, a
stressful life event or a series of minor events can trigger depression,
but depression can also occur spontaneously, with no identifiable
specific cause. Whatever the cause, depression can be managed by
changing your thought processes, through lifestyle changes, and/or
with medication. Recurrent mood disorders are equally common among men and women. Some people have mood alterations between depression and mania or irritability, or a mix of both. During manic episodes patients may have elevated mood, decreased need for sleep, rapid speech, extreme involvement in pleasurable activities, and may be easily distracted. Some people experience dysphoric episodes instead of euphoric episodes. ________________________________________________________ I AM SKILLED IN DEALING WITH BIPOLAR DISORDER, DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY-BASED PROBLEMS _______________________________________________________________ Life can be very stressful and this can take a toll on your mental and physical health. If you suffer from anxiety or if you have anxiety or panic attacks, there are psychological and physical tools you can use to manage these uncomfortable states and episodes. |
