Every family in Littleton has a unique journey, from Old Town’s charming streets to Ken Caryl’s picturesque neighborhoods. Raising kids in the quiet suburbs or near Columbine Valley has its joys and challenges at each stage. Seeking support is a sign of strength. I’m here to help you and your family face these challenges, grow closer, and thrive in our vibrant community.

Family life is always changing and both traditional and modern challenges often intertwine. Conflicts can arise from differing parenting styles and generational expectations or parents may struggle to align their values with the fast, tech-driven world their children are in.

In places like Highlands Ranch and Roxborough Park, busy lives add stress. Blended families face their own unique challenges and I provide a supportive space to explore these issues. We will develop strategies to help your family thrive.

Every family has its strengths and challenges. These might include: 

• Childhood behavioral issues
• Adolescent struggles
• Relationship tensions

I’m here to support families throughout Littleton and nearby communities.

Balancing the roles of parents, partners, and individuals is tricky. I work with you to address your specific concerns and strengthen your family unit, whether you’re in Littleton or neighboring areas.

Couples who have undergone multiple rounds of treatments like IVF without success may consider donor conception.

Healthy relationships are the foundation of a strong family. I offer couples therapy to help you and your partner improve communication and deepen your connection. The goal is to create stronger relationships within our community.

One family I worked with was struggling to have a difficult conversation with their young child. They were worried about how this sensitive topic would affect their relationship and wanted to approach it carefully. We developed a communication plan that felt natural and supportive for all.

As a result, their bond grew stronger, and they were able to create a more open and peaceful home environment. This experience illustrates how family therapy can transform relationships and encourage deeper connections.

In our sessions, I use evidence-based approaches tailored to your family’s unique needs. These may include Structural Family Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, and Emotionally Focused Therapy. Together, we will:

• Better communication during conflicts.
• Strengthen emotional connections within your family.
• Develop strategies to manage stress and life changes.
• Improve your family’s ability to solve problems collaboratively.

I want to create a space where every family member feels valued and understood, no matter where you live—Littleton, Ken Caryl, Highlands Ranch, or beyond.

As a therapist who is deeply rooted in the Littleton community, I understand the unique needs of local families. I strive to create a welcoming, supportive space. I want every family to feel comfortable seeking help. My practice is also easily accessible to those in nearby areas, making it convenient for families seeking therapy close to home.

As well as my academic background, I have also had to find ways to overcome family related challenges. Therefore, I feel like I have the right mix of clinical theory as well as empathic experience to be a pillar of support for you. Read more about Dr.Susan Hollander.

Family dynamics are complex, and sometimes, individual members need additional support. I offer a range of services that complement family therapy, including:

• Parenting Therapy: Support for the tough task of raising kids and teens with confidence and compassion.
• Individual Therapy: Address personal issues, such as anxiety or depression, that may affect family dynamics.
• Anxiety Therapy: Learn techniques to manage anxiety and reduce its impact on family relationships.
• Depression Therapy: Overcome the barriers that depression can create within a family unit.
• Online Therapy: If it’s more convenient to have a session from home then I also offer virtual therapy too.

These services can support individual needs while we work on strengthening the family as a whole.
