We understand that juggling responsibilities, relationships and the many demands on your time and energy is difficult, especially when trying to recover from a trauma or loss, or when stuck in uncomfortable feelings such as anxiety and depression. These feelings can be inhibitive and burdensome when you have added stressors leaving you with a lack of time for yourself. At Greenwood Counseling Center we provide counseling in Centennial, CO located in the Denver Tech Center area, and also offer counseling in Lakewood, CO at a convenient location at 6th Ave. and S. Union Blvd., less than ten minutes from downtown Denver, Golden, Arvada, Littleton, and many other surrounding areas.
