In-Person and Telehealth Therapy for Children, Teens, Adults, and Families in Colorado

Sara Condon, LPCC, provides in-person therapy for children, teens, adults, and families at Mighty Minds Therapy in Wheat Ridge, near Denver. She also offers secure telehealth across Colorado for teens, adults, and parent consultations.

Sara uses play therapy and creative approaches to help children and preteens express big feelings and manage worry, sensory overwhelm, or changes at home and school. She gives teens time to build trust and helps adults work through grief, family dynamics, and relationship patterns. Her approach is warm, practical, and guided by what helps each person feel comfortable opening up.

Sara specializes in:

  • Play therapy and creative approaches for children and preteens
  • Therapy for adults navigating family dynamics, grief, and life transitions
  • Support for children with ADHD, twice-exceptional (2e) learners, and kids who are neurodivergent or highly sensitive
  • Therapy for quiet or guarded kids and teens who worry about making mistakes or put a lot of pressure on themselves
  • Parent support and family-systems work

Sara takes time to get to know how you or your child communicates, what feels comfortable, and what matters to you. For a child, that might mean starting with a game or an activity they enjoy. For an adult, it might mean having space to talk through a relationship or a loss they’ve been carrying on their own.

Depending on the client’s needs, therapy may draw from the following evidenced-based approaches:

  • Child-Centered Play Therapy (CCPT)
  • Attachment-based and trauma-informed approaches
  • Interpersonal Neurobiology (IPNB)
  • Somatic and body-based approaches
  • Sand tray, art, music, games, and movement

The goal is to help you or your child make sense of what feels hard and find ways to manage it that fit your everyday life.

Who Sara Works Best With

Children

Your child might hold it together at school and fall apart when they get home. Sara helps children and preteens make sense of what feels overwhelming and find ways to express it through play, movement, or creative activities.

Sara may be a good fit if your child is experiencing any of the following.

  • Meltdowns, big emotional reactions, or trouble settling after they get upset
  • Anxiety, perfectionism, or fear of getting things wrong
  • Sensory overload or difficulty moving from one activity to the next
  • Trouble making or keeping friends, or a sense that they don’t fit in
  • Ongoing stress after a move, divorce, loss, or medical event

Through play therapy, movement, and creative activities, Sara helps children express what they’re experiencing and practice ways to cope that fit their age, interests, and needs.

Teens

You may know something is weighing on your teen even when the only answer you get is “I’m fine.” Sara works especially well with middle school and early high school students who need time to feel comfortable opening up.

Therapy may be helpful if your teen is experiencing any of the following.

  • Social anxiety, school stress, or pressure to fit in
  • Perfectionism or a tendency to keep worries to themselves
  • Withdrawal, irritability, or big changes in mood
  • Stress around changing friendships or family dynamics
  • Questions about their identity, strengths, or neurodivergence

Depending on what feels comfortable for your teen, sessions may include conversation, games, music, or art. Sara follows their pace so there’s room for trust to develop and for harder topics to come up over time.

Adults

If you’ve spent years taking care of other people, it can be hard to notice what you need or ask for it. Sara works with adults across the lifespan, including older adults, who want to understand those patterns or find support through a loss or life change.

Common areas of support include

  • Setting boundaries and working through people-pleasing
  • Understanding how family dynamics shape current relationships
  • Processing grief, loss, and life transitions
  • Managing anxiety, burnout, and emotional overwhelm
  • Rebuilding self-trust and self-esteem

Sessions give you space to look at where these patterns come from, consider what you want to change, and practice responding in ways that feel right for you.

Families and Caregivers

When your child is struggling, it can be hard to know what to do in the moment or what might help over time. Sara works with parents and caregivers to understand what happens around difficult moments and find practical ways to support your child at home.

You may benefit from this approach if you’re looking for help with

  • Understanding your child’s emotional reactions or behavior
  • Making routines and transitions more manageable
  • Navigating co-parenting, divorce, or changes between households
  • Strengthening communication and connection with your child or teen

With your permission, Sara can also collaborate with your child’s school or other important adults in their life to support consistency across settings.
