Here at Turning Point Family Therapy, I offer compassionate counseling for all of life’s events in the Denver metro area. My clients include individuals, couples, families (of every kind), children and adolescents.

Choosing a mental health provider is one of the most important decisions you can make. You want someone who is caring, knowledgeable, accessible and willing to take time for you and treat you as a person, not just a client.

My mission as a therapist is to provide a compassionate, non-judgmental space where you feel free to express yourself. I respect the mind, body, and spirit to promote clients' vitality, passion and purpose. I honor the uniqueness of each individual while allowing the family to bloom.

I believe therapy should be a collaborative process between the client and me. I value working with clients' strengths as a way to help clients reach goals and make positive changes. I believe therapy is not meant to fix parts of us that are broken but to allow us to become the best version of ourselves.

The majority of my experience so far in my career as a therapist has been in trauma, substance use recovery, eating disorder relapse prevention, body image and sex, partnerships and sexual concerns, as well as working with couples, families, and parenting issues. In regard to what I have found in this experience, especially working with eating disorders and substance use recovery, is that what seems to be missing with the recovery process is a sexual recovery component.

I feel that who I am, my authenticity, my message, and showing my humanness sets me apart from many therapists trained to be a blank slate for their clients. The work we do in session does not end there and it is not confined to the hour that I actually see them each week. I am prepared and have the latest evidence-based research to provide support.

Russell Wilkie, MA, MFT, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Relationships and how we communicate are the two most important things in our lives - - and I find it even more so in poly relationships. I have spent over 20 years working with LGBTQ and poly issues. I focus on using clear communication to refine and clarify intimacy, honesty, love, directness and sex… How we communicate and sooth one anothers emotional reactivity has more to do with quality relationships than focusing on our deep, dark, past issues. Choosing a therapist is like choosing shoes – You may have to try some on before you find one that fits.
