In light of the current covid-19 pandemic, I will be offering telehealth (remote) services only at this time. I have been trained and have extensive continuing education credits in telehealth, and have been using it successfully in my practice for over two years. It is a privilege to use this medium to continue to support my clients and community. Please contact me to schedule your appointment and learn more about telehealth! Please note: given that I am practicing 100% telehealth at this time, I am not accepting new child therapy nor evaluation referrals.
You can access my telehealth guide here to review before your first appointment.
I am also pleased to offer the following resources for people spending more time at home due to the pandemic. The first video, below, is a brief video with ideas for managing stress and self care for ourselves and our children. The second video is more in depth with information about trauma response, protective factors, and a brief guided meditation. The resource page includes resources for support, education, and leisure. Please check back as I will be updating this page frequently as more information becomes available. I’m running a women’s mindfulness and support group, Claiming Your Calm,via telehealth.

Psychotherapy
Do you feel like you are getting by, but not thriving? Does anxiety, stress, or low mood weigh you down? Dr. Dwyer provides individual therapy services to children, teens, and adults, in her office at Rocky Mountain Center for Development. We begin with a thorough assessment of difficulties, then craft a treatment plan centering on your goals for change. Using techniques from cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness-based cognitive behavioral, and acceptance and commitment therapies, we will work together to personalize your treatment. Please note: I am providing only telehealth services at this time and not taking on new child/younger teen clients.
