Getting to know Carl Sachs

Hi there, I'm Carl! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Colorado with over 30 years of experience in psychotherapy, including 28 years at the Mental Health Clinic at the VA Medical Center in metro Denver. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from Columbia University School of Social Work. I use an eclectic approach to address anger, anxiety, ADHD, depression, mood disorders, and trauma. My approach I believe that the therapeutic relationship is a key element of therapy and enables the application of the approaches I use, which include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, psychodynamic psychotherapy, and Universal Protocol. My focus I’ve worked mostly with veterans, so I see anyone over 18 with any type of clinical need. Many of these cases were quite brief, but some spanned decades; many started as emergencies, and many focused on growth. I also have extensive experience working with chronic illnesses and pain. My communication style I listen and try to build a feeling of trust between me and my clients. My journey to mental healthcare Not sure really—I think it had to do with dynamics in my family, and I realized early on that other pursuits were not so satisfying. My goals for you I believe goals are made up of many different objectives, so I try to start small to build confidence in the process. My first session with you I will listen carefully and respectfully, and I believe therapeutic success requires that we learn from each other.
