Dr. Joanne Burgio, Ph.D., is a licensed psychologist with over 40 years of clinical experience, now seeing Colorado clients at her Cherry Creek office and via secure video statewide. Specializing in psychodynamic and psychoanalytic therapy for adults, couples, and military families.
Adults and couples seeking depth-oriented therapy that goes beyond symptom management.
Racing thoughts, trouble sleeping, the sense that you're always bracing for something. Therapy that goes beyond coping skills to understand where the anxiety actually comes from.
Loss of motivation, disconnection from things that used to matter, the weight of just getting through the day. We work to understand the roots, not just manage the symptoms.
Patterns you keep repeating with a partner, communication that's stopped working, the feeling that you're more roommates than partners. Individual or joint sessions.
A career change, a loss, a relocation, an old wound that resurfaced — including the transitions specific to military life: PCS, deployment, retirement, the move from service to civilian.
Active-duty service members, retirees, and military families across Colorado deserve depth-oriented mental-health care that takes the realities of military life seriously. Dr. Burgio is in-network with TRICARE in Colorado — and brings 40+ years of psychodynamic experience to clients from Fort Carson, USAFA, Buckley SFB, Peterson SFB, and the broader Front Range military community.
Sessions are 50 minutes, weekly, by secure video from anywhere in Colorado — or in-person at her Cherry Creek office. Dr. Burgio is an in-network TRICARE provider in Colorado, so covered sessions are billed directly to TRICARE; you're responsible only for any applicable copay or cost-share. We recommend confirming your specific plan's mental-health benefits with TRICARE before your first session.
I practice psychodynamic and psychoanalytic therapy — which means we look beneath the symptom for the story underneath it. Most of what causes us pain is not the thing on the surface; it's the pattern we don't yet see. My job is to help you see it, gently and at your pace, so it stops running your life from the background.
Sessions are 50 minutes, weekly, in-person at my Cherry Creek office or by secure video anywhere in Colorado. Psychodynamic work is open-ended rather than time-limited; the pace and trajectory depend on what each client is working on. The published outcome literature on psychodynamic therapy describes effect sizes that develop over months of weekly work, with individual variation. This is depth-oriented therapy designed for clients who feel ready to understand the patterns underneath their experience, not to follow a fixed short-term protocol.
