Epic Counseling is a therapy practice owned by Tedd Taskey in Denver CO. Tedd provides counseling for individuals, couples, and elite professionals.

Through a personalized approach, Tedd helps clients navigate challenges and achieve personal growth.

At Epic Counseling, we are dedicated to providing a comfortable and confidential space for our clients. Our goal is to empower individuals and couples to overcome obstacles and improve their mental well-being. Whether you're seeking support for personal growth, relationship issues, or professional challenges, we are here to help. Reach out to us to schedule a consultation and take the first step towards a healthier and more fulfilling life.

Sometimes life's difficulties can be so overwhelming that we react with despair, depression, anxiety and self-destructive behaviors. A healthy therapeutic process involves processing these difficulties and painful experiences in a safe, but challenging environment so one can find self-understanding, peace, and happiness.

If you’re in an unhappy relationship you have three choices:

Fix it. End it. Or stay unhappy.

Unfortunately, most couples tend to stay in an unfulfilled relationship because they have grown accustom to the unhappiness or just don’t have the courage to do the work necessary to bring about a positive change. If you have reached a point where you don’t want to be in an unfulfilling relationship any more, you owe it to yourself to find the truth of your relationship and move forward together regardless of where that truth takes you.

I work with my couples to build a peaceful, supportive relationship. Using the techniques of Relational Life Therapy, anger management, and psychodynamics, we apply a very specific process which teaches couples how to better understand themselves as individuals and their relationship as a couple. We dig deep into the causes behind your dysfunctional ways and learn how to make better choices. You will learn very specific communication skills that create peaceful, healthy interactions between you and your partner.

Although I always work towards making the relationship work, if the truth reveals that the couple should no longer be together, we work towards a peaceful parting of ways with dignity and respect. I will never attempt to force a couple together if they decide they are better off apart. Regardless of the final “status” of the relationship, you will both gain valuable communication skills, personal insight and emotional management skills that will benefit you in every aspect of your life.

The approach is direct and directive. No skirting issues. No unbridled “venting” and blaming. No meandering and avoiding difficult topics. Together, we identify the issues, wants and needs of each person, set agreed upon goals and timeline for results. If you’re serious about couples work, this approach proves to be highly effective and successful.

Your life can be better. You deserve it.

Amazing personal transformations take through the therapeutic process. I’ve had the privilege of serving clients with a wide range of issues including depression, anxiety, anger, self-destructive behavior, trauma as well as those who just seek better coping skills or want greater insight to themselves so they can live more authentic lives of purpose and peace.

My style is deeply compassionate while also being direct and directive. I do not believe in meandering, aimless therapy. I believe in structure and accountability in the therapeutic journey. Together, we set specific goals and we work towards those goals in a safe, but challenging environment.

"It's lonely at the top so you better know why you are there." -William Shakespeare's Henry IV

Corporate executives, doctors, lawyers, business owners, professional athletes, professors, public figures, etc., are often isolated due to their position of power. They are often trapped in the spotlight which demands strength, leadership, and an unwavering stance of self-assuredness — no room for uncertainty, weakness, or error. You are in the arena, making the difficult decisions, ensuring the restless nights dealing with mergers, acquisitions, lawsuits, hiring & firing, policy decisions, and sometimes life & death decisions. You are the one who has to face the board of trustees, deal with Wall Street, the media, etc. You are the one who has to stand and answer to critics while the rest of the world passes judgment.

This life offers unique challenges and pitfalls. Many times powerful people fall victim to entitlement behavior which can be abusive and destructive to their personal and professional relationships. After all, who dare stand up to the boss? Furthermore, to whom can the boss turn to when feeling uncertain, insecure, or scared? Working with this population is one of my greatest privileges because the impact of the therapeutic journey is so far reaching. Providing elite professionals with a safe environment to be human, work through issues, improve communication skills, and develop a deeper sense of self; enables him or her to lead with greater skill and confidence.
