Counseling for Youth and Families

HEALING FROM THE HEART is a Colorado based 501(c)3 non-profit organization that provides mental health services to youth and their families who seek help in healing from traumatic incidents, victimization, violence and other adverse life experiences. We help children in Adams, Arapahoe, Denver and Jefferson Counties.
We are dedicated to providing treatment plans that focus on youth and families' needs and difficulties.  All programs are  developed and facilitated with regards to relational, developmental and cultural concerns.

Who are the youth we serve?

They are adolescents and families in homes with domestic violence, alcohol and drug use, who have lived through traumatic events, or who endure conditions of neglect and abuse.  They often live in continual states of inertia, depression, anger and hopelessness… until they learn different choices.  They may be young people you know who are traumatized today, but can become the leaders of tomorrow.

What we Do…

Help youth identify different choices for their lives by developing the strengths and the skills to choose healthier behaviors and lifestyles.
Relate to youth as people, not just as the labels they have been assigned.
Hold clients accountable for their actions without shaming them.
Help youth clarify their values.
Create a safe place to facilitate youth in forming their identities- who they are, who they are becoming.
Maintain a culturally sensitive environment for clients.

Old Patterns, New Choices

Clients who have completed HEALING FROM THE HEART programs report feeling less angry, being more in touch with their emotions, an increase in confidence, better family communication and a reduction of disruptive incidents at home, school and in the community.
