Our Therapy Providers
Your mental health treatment plan is likely to benefit from therapy along with psychiatric treatment. We recommend psychotherapy for almost every client and offer a limited amount of therapy within our office. Clinical studies have shown that the best client outcomes are the result of a combination of evidence-based therapy along with the right medication. If we aren’t able to get you scheduled with one of our therapists, we have other resources to connect you with local support.
Therapy can be an incredibly effective tool for improving your mental health. Therapy can help you to identify and process difficult emotions, learn new coping skills, and gain insight into your thoughts and behaviors. Therapy can also provide support and guidance as you navigate life's challenges. If you are struggling with a mental health issue, consider seeking out therapy. It could be exactly what you need to feel better.
Meet Karen Lockwood, Licensed Professional Counselor
I am a licensed professional counselor and a licensed addictions counselor. Originally from New York State, I came to Colorado after completing my bachelor of science in psychology. I spent a few years working at Beaver Creek, enjoying all that the Colorado mountains have to offer. I recognized my passion for mental health and moved to Denver to pursue my master’s degree. While completing my degree, I worked in a memory unit providing care for Alzheimer’s and dementia residents. I have a master of arts in counseling from Regis University and have experience working with a wide range of mental health diagnoses and substance use disorders. I spent seven years working in community mental health prior to working for Denver Wellness Associates.
I am trained in acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and schema therapy. During sessions, we will work on understanding what challenges you are experiencing and utilize appropriate therapeutic techniques to work towards our goals. I believe in fostering a strong therapeutic relationship and creating an environment that is safe and allows you to explore your vulnerabilities.

Meet Jamie Hall, Licensed Professional Candidate
I am a licensed professional counselor candidate and nationally certified counselor here at Denver Wellness. I am a Colorado local and loved growing up surrounded by the beauty of this state! I realized my passion for helping and mental health while working as a mentor for international students in college. I earned my bachelor’s at Colorado Mesa University in counseling psychology and a master’s in clinical mental health counseling from the University of Northern Colorado.
I am passionate about walking alongside my clients as they embark on their mental health journey to improve their overall quality of life. During my education, I had the opportunity to work with a diverse client population ranging from neurodivergent and developmentally disabled children, at-risk youth and families, college students, and adults with a range of diagnoses, in day treatment and outpatient settings. Areas I am especially interested in include ADHD and Autism, providing affirming care for LGBTQIA+ and other marginalized populations, and mood and anxiety disorders.
I have experience in cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and and love to incorporate these therapies with a humanistic and person-centered approach. I believe that the therapeutic alliance is a powerful tool in creating a safe container to explore your identity, cognitive schemas, individual needs, and vulnerabilities. Together we will identify the challenges that you are wanting to address, and utilize evidence-based skills and techniques to improve your overall functioning to achieve your goals.
