How to Keep and Create Family Traditions in the New Year
The start of a new year is the perfect time to reflect on what matters most and set intentions for your family. One of the best ways to strengthen bonds, create lasting memories, and bring joy to your household is through family traditions.
Whether you want to keep old traditions alive or start new ones, Creative Counseling Colorado can help families in Denver foster connection, joy, and consistency year-round.


Parenting a Child with ADHD When You Also Have ADHD
Parenting is challenging enough, but parenting a child with ADHD while
also managing your own ADHD? That’s a whole new level of “how did it get this chaotic?”
At Creative Counseling Colorado, we work with families navigating this dynamic, helping parents find strategies to manage the whirlwind while keeping connection, patience, and humor intact.


Holidays Before Kids vs. Holidays After Kids: A Funny Look at the Season
h, the holidays. Once upon a time, you may have sipped hot cocoa by a
twinkling tree, spent hours curating the perfect gift wrap aesthetic, and
stayed up late binging holiday movies in peace. Then... the kids arrived.
Suddenly, the holidays look a little different (read: louder, stickier, and somehow glitter gets everywhere).
At Creative Counseling Colorado, we love helping parents find joy in
every season—even the chaotic, sleep-deprived ones.


Supporting Kids and Families Through Divorce During the Holidays
The holidays can be an emotional
time for families—especially those navigating divorce or separation. While traditions, celebrations, and family gatherings are meant to bring joy, they can also highlight changes and create stress for children who are adjusting to new routines. At Creative Counseling Colorado, we support kids and families in Denver as they work through the challenges of divorce, helping them find connection, stability, and peace during the holiday season.


Setting Healthy Family Boundaries During the Holidays
The holidays are often pictured as joyful, cozy, and full of togetherness—but for many families, they also bring stress, conflict, and tough conversations.
Between packed schedules, family expectations, and old patterns that show up around the dinner table, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. At Creative Counseling Colorado, we work with families who want to enjoy the season without sacrificing their peace of mind. One of the best tools to help with that? Healthy boundaries.


IEPs vs. 504 Plans: What Parents Need to Know
As a parent, navigating the world of school supports for your child can feel overwhelming. Between IEPs (Individualized Education Programs) and 504 Plans, it can be hard to know which option is right for your child’s unique needs. At Creative Counseling Colorado, we often work with families who are confused by the difference, and we’re here to help break it down in a simple and approachable way.
