Find a Healthcare Provider

Sometimes the hardest part is just knowing where to start.

I'm Jen Tilden, a licensed clinical social worker based in Denver, offering telehealth therapy to adults and couples across Colorado. I work with people navigating anxiety, trauma, chronic illness, and the weight of managing more than they can easily put into words. I work with people of all backgrounds, identities, and relationship structures, and I try to bring warmth, steadiness, and a whole-person perspective to everything I do.

I've spent seven years working alongside people living with diabetes and other chronic health conditions, and that experience shapes how I show up as a therapist — attuned to the emotional weight, the grief, the identity shifts, and the daily mental load that come with managing a long-term illness.

One of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. Mindfulness and curiosity can help bring awareness to feelings of angst and sadness that reside within us. Within each unique story, there is meaning and purpose. As an existential and humanistic therapist, I often use narrative therapy which aims to help you see your challenges as separate from who you are as a human being. 

There are many theories, techniques, diagnoses, and labels out there. It is not my place to judge or label my clients. Behaviors may meet guidelines and there are a variety of ways to work through issues, but my clients are not numbers on a file; clients are people with the courage to seek out a professional to help them walk through their journey.

I am a trauma-informed therapist who understands that health is always present—even when we feel disconnected from it. My work is grounded in the belief that healing emerges through connection: to self, body, and present-moment awareness. 

I integrate Somatic DBT, EMDR, Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy, and IFS-informed practices to support nervous system regulation and foster emotional balance in everyday life. My approach is gentle, collaborative, and attuned to each individual’s unique rhythms and capacities. 

I work with adults of all ages and life stages, with a special focus on cultivating self-compassion as a foundation for healing. Whether you're navigating a life transition, facing parenting or relationship challenges, processing trauma or a complex personal history, or simply seeking deeper alignment with yourself, I offer a supportive space for exploration and growth.

We commend you for taking the initial, and most difficult step by seeking support. We never stop improving, and participate in continued education to keep our skills and resources in position to help you achieve your goals. Often it can be healing to be truly heard and understood. We can offer new insights and perspectives to help you migrate toward the happiness that you deserve.
