Counseling Practice – Authentic Life Christian Counseling
Two Colorado office locations anchor Authentic Life Christian Counseling: a Lakewood office at 7220 W. Jefferson Ave., Suite 202, and a Westminster office at 2000 W. 120th Ave., Suite 12. The practice provides professional counseling services to individuals, couples, families, and master’s-level clinicians pursuing clinical supervision. Evening and weekend appointment times are available at both locations.
Licensed clinicians on staff include Vicki Faris (M.A., LPC, ACS, NCC), Christine Anderson (M.A., LPC, NCC), Sophie Younkers (M.A., LPCC), and Karen Ranglos (M.A., LPCC, NCC). Three graduate-level interns, Lisa Steinbrenner, Marlon Bell, and Aaron Dufresne, are also part of the team. Supervision services are available for clinicians completing the 45 training hours described on the site, positioning the practice as a resource for therapists at earlier career stages in addition to clients seeking counseling.
Therapeutic modalities offered include Brainspotting, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Gestalt Therapy, and Narrative Therapy. Play therapy and services for children are among the listed offerings. All sessions are conducted in person at one of the Colorado offices; telehealth availability is not described on the site.
Specialty areas are wide-ranging: trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, OCD, adoption and childhood trauma, shame, couples conflict, communication difficulties, infidelity, premarital counseling, adolescent concerns, career counseling, grief, postpartum support, women’s issues, and chronic illness.
