Older therapists in Denver, CO
Meet with an older therapist in Denver or Greenwood Village with lived experience and the perspective that comes with age and experience.
We have therapists in Denver and Greenwood Village over 40
When searching for a therapist, many people prefer to meet with an older therapist who can relate to their story or life experience. While many excellent therapists are in their 20s and 30s, we understand that many people feel more comfortable speaking with an older therapist instead of someone fresh out of graduate school or even younger than their own children.
At My Denver Therapy, we have older therapists in both Denver and Greenwood Village who are over 40 and bring the lived experiences and life perspective that comes with age. Whether you’re experiencing difficulties with adult children, divorce, grief and loss, or something else, we can match you with an older therapist who brings a more experienced perspective on your stage of life.
Why many people prefer to meet with an older therapist
Older therapists haven’t just studied life’s challenges; they’ve lived through many of them—including career pivots, raising families, navigating relationship ups and downs, dealing with loss, figuring out aging. These experiences that often bring a unique kind of wisdom and empathy that they bring into the therapy room.
When you’re talking to a therapist who has personally experienced many of life’s bigger storms, you might feel a different level of connection. It’s that feeling of:
- “They just get it”: A deeper sense of being understood because they have relatable life context.
- Grounded Perspective: Insights that feel earned and realistic, drawn from real-world experience.
- Comfort and Stability: Sometimes, there’s just a reassuring presence that comes with maturity and life perspective.
This doesn’t mean younger therapists aren’t amazing (we have fantastic therapists of all ages!), but the accumulated life wisdom of an older therapist can offer a specific kind of comfort and relatable insight that many people find incredibly valuable.
It's okay to prefer an older therapist
We recognize that many clients feel a stronger connection and sense of immediate trust with a therapist who has more life experience.
If you’re navigating later life stages, managing long-term career or family dynamics, or simply feel more comfortable collaborating with someone who brings decades of perspective rather than being fresh out of graduate school, seeking an older therapist makes perfect sense.
There’s often a unique comfort and reassurance in knowing your therapist brings not only years of refined clinical skills but also rich life experience.
Many find it easier to build rapport with a mature therapist who offers that grounded, relatable viewpoint and seasoned professional insight that comes from navigating similar life complexities over time, providing the stability and depth you might be seeking.
Other Specialties
Healing may not be so much about getting better, as about letting go of everything that isn’t you – all of the expectations, all of the beliefs – and becoming who you are.

As a therapist-owned practice with over 100 years of combined experience, we care about seeing our clients heal, grow, and thrive. We’re one of the only therapy practices in Colorado with licensed professional counselors, marriage and family therapists, addiction counselors, social workers, and psychiatric nurse practitioners who actively see new clients in person and online.
Whether you’re an adult, teen, young adult, couple, or family, our inclusive therapist team is built to specialize in clients of all ages, faiths, backgrounds, and life experiences.
Our practice started with one therapist in a shared office suite, but we’ve grown to help thousands of people in Colorado by providing in-person therapy at our conveniently located Denver Metro area counseling offices in Denver, Greenwood Village, and Lone Tree, plus online therapy for clients throughout Colorado. Because of the way our team works and has grown over time, our therapists also provide consultation for other therapists and private practices throughout the Denver Metro area.
Our therapists provide some of the most innovative, effective, and in-demand forms of therapy available today, including EMDR, Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, CBT, DBT, and IFS. We also have more therapists trained in Ketamine-assisted therapy, EMDR, and more teen therapists and young adult counselors than nearly every other private practice in Denver.
We know that our clients want to find the best therapists in Denver, so our team includes therapists of different ages with a wide range of backgrounds, specialities, and experiences to help you find the right fit. We’ll match you with one of our therapists who is the best for your goals, location, budget, schedule, and what you want to work on to help you get started quickly.
We’re out of network for insurance, Tricare, and are unable to take Medicaid or Medicare, but most of our therapists’ rates are lower than the local and national averages for therapy. Also, we don’t charge separate intake or administration fees or charge more for specialized therapy methods like EMDR.
All of our therapists take a client-focused approach to counseling and approach each session with a commitment to your progress and growth.
