Jose Arenas, LPC — Therapist in Colorado

Hi there, I'm Jose!

I’m Tony, an LPC, LAC, and PsyD candidate in Colorado. I help you navigate mental health and addiction using evidence-based social cognitive theory. I provide a structured, compassionate space to bridge your thought patterns and behavioral change. Together, we’ll build the resilience and self-efficacy needed for lasting, meaningful growth.

My focus

I support adults navigating depression, anxiety, and addiction. If you’re seeking a structured, evidence-based path to change, we’ll work well together. Using social cognitive theory, I help you build the self-efficacy and practical skills needed to reframe unhelpful patterns, regain control, and achieve lasting, meaningful personal growth.

My approach

As an LPC, LAC, and PsyD candidate, I use social cognitive theory to explore the link between your thoughts and actions. I provide a structured, compassionate space focused on building self-efficacy. By mastering practical skills and reframing patterns, we’ll work collaboratively to help you regain control and achieve lasting clinical growth.

My communication style

I am direct, transparent, and collaborative. I balance clinical candor with empathy to create a space for honest dialogue. My tone is supportive yet grounded—I focus on clear feedback and evidence-based skills. You can expect a partner who is authentically invested in your growth and committed to navigating the challenges alongside you.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey was inspired by my mother’s strength, teaching me the value of unwavering support. As an LPC, LAC, and current PsyD candidate, I have spent my career dedicated to mental health and addiction recovery. I am driven to empower my clients with the clinical tools and self-efficacy needed to overcome obstacles and achieve lasting growth.

My goals for you

I guide you in setting SMART goals rooted in your values. Using Social Cognitive Theory, we build self-efficacy by breaking down complex changes into actionable steps. We use evidence-based tools like the CBT triangle and behavioral tracking to measure progress. My focus is on providing the structure you need to reach your milestones.

Our first session

Our first session is a safe, non-judgmental space centered on you. I prioritize building a connection through empathy and unconditional positive regard. You’ll lead the way as we explore your story at your own pace. I want you to feel heard as we begin our collaborative journey. I want you to feel safe and never judged, criticized, or stigmatized.
