Therapy built on curiosity, not judgment

I'm Joe Chouinard, LCSW, a Denver therapist specializing in complex trauma (C-PTSD) and addiction recovery. I also work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, and the patterns that keep them stuck. My approach is curious, compassionate, and grounded in real conversation.

Located in the Denver Tech Center, steps from Greenwood Village

My office sits right on the edge of the DTC and Greenwood Village, easy to reach from Denver, Aurora, Centennial, and Lone Tree. In the coming weeks, I'm moving to a new office nearby in Centennial, just across the street from Greenwood Village and minutes from the DTC.

How I can help

Together we'll explore what's actually holding you back, not just the symptoms on the surface, and build a path toward a fuller, more self-directed life.

My approach

My approach is grounded in traditional talk therapy, built on connection, compassion, curiosity, and nonjudgment. The goal isn't just symptom relief; it's helping you build a kinder, more grounded relationship with yourself.

Talk therapy, relationally

We talk. We get curious together about your patterns and history, and what's actually going on underneath the surface, without shame getting in the way.

Tools when they help

I draw on EMDR, Internal Family Systems, CBT, and ACT when they're useful for what you're working through, not as a fixed formula.

Your pace, not a protocol

Some clients want structured modality work. Others just want space to think out loud. Both are welcome here.
