Our Values

Relationships

At Beyond Dreams Therapy we believe nurturing health means nurturing healthy ways of relating to others, to ourselves, and to the world at large.

As communal beings, our wellness is deeply rooted in our relationships. The importance of our “relationship health” does not only mean feeling valued and loved in our romantic and familial relationships, but also feeling strong in our relationship to the society we live in and to nature and the world at large. Our communal nature drives us to instinctively relate ourselves to the various living beings, institutions, and even concepts that structure our experiences. “How we feel” often means “how we feel about our relationships” and at Beyond Dreams Therapy we believe nurturing health means nurturing healthy ways of relating to others, to ourselves, and to the world at large.

Creativity

At Beyond Dreams we seek to cultivate the comfort, capability, and courage necessary to manifest ourselves in line with our own creative power and potential.

Creativity goes beyond our capacity for artistic expression, it also refers to our ability to generate ourselves and realize our potential on our own terms. Creativity can mean navigating challenges flexibly, just as much as it can mean living fully through in the enthusiasm of our individual possibilities. Creativity is fundamental for every living being and at Beyond Dreams we seek to cultivate the comfort, capability, and courage necessary to manifest ourselves in line with our own creative power and potential.

Integrity

At Beyond Dreams Therapy, our service means making sure that we stand under our values. It is a value underlying our every effort as well as a value we hope to embolden and support in our clients.

Integrity means having the fortitude and will to stick to our principles no matter the challenge. It means standing up for others when we see injustice. It means not folding under pressure, however overwhelming that pressure may be. Integrity itself is hard-won and challenging. Living with integrity means meeting each moment anew again with the same fervor and determination in the service of our values and our commitments. At Beyond Dreams Therapy, our service means making sure that we stand under our values. It is a value underlying our every effort as well as a value we hope to embolden and support in our clients.

Diversity

At Beyond Dreams Therapy, we resolve to celebrate diversity as advocates as well as help navigate a world that often fails to raise it up.

We believe that difference is a cause for celebration. It is through the differences in our capacities that life becomes vivacious, full, and rich. Remaining committed to diversity means finding the language to connect with others while maintaining the humility to truly listen to the perspectives and experiences of others of varying cultures and backgrounds. Diversity is not only important to us, it is primary for us. Diversity should be cultivated and met with excitement. Unfortunately, our world does not always live up to this high ideal, so valuing diversity in our practice too often means helping to heal wounds caused by those who would diminish diverse voices rather than amplify them. At Beyond Dreams Therapy, we resolve to celebrate diversity as advocates as well as help navigate a world that often fails to raise it up.

Our Connection to
Colorado Dream Foundation

Since 1988, the Colorado Dream Foundation has collaborated with Denver's community members, offering a comprehensive after-school enrichment program for youth to support them in navigating their paths toward college and careers. In response to community feedback in 2021, they established two regional sites in Southwest and Far North East Denver, as well as, extending its services to include affordable and accessible mental health care, addressing a pressing need in the Denver Metro area and beyond.

In addition to nurturing the emotional well-being of the youth enrolled in our after-school program, we extend therapeutic support to all community members, regardless of their participation in our other program. From its inception, our clinical team has expanded significantly, evolving from two licensed clinicians and four interns serving approximately 30 clients to three licensed clinicians, five provisionally licensed behavioral health therapists, and up to eight clinical interns, now providing mental health care to over one hundred clients.

In 2022, our therapy program partnered with Colorado Access to offer services to Medicaid members, marking the beginning of its journey to establish its sub-brand within the organization. In July 2024, Beyond Dreams Therapy at Colorado Dream Foundation emerged as a dedicated entity to provide therapeutic services.
