Working with indiviudals and families to create the lives and families they have been hoping for
Marriage and Family Therapy
Life will inevitably bring hard times. The key is not letting them weigh you down, but using them to live more in tune and with greater purpose.
Whether your challenges stem from complex family dynamics, developmental transitions, or any of life’s countless other hurdles, doing the work to take ownership of your life is always worth it. No hardship is too big to recover from. In our work together, we don’t just address symptoms; we uncover the root causes to create lasting change.
Drawing from my Marriage and Family Therapy training at Northwestern University, I use what I believe are the most effective approaches for real transformation: Integrative Systemic Therapy (IST), Bowenian Family Systems Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing.
Therapy is available to Colorado residents and can be individual or family-focused.
Teen and Young adult Therapy and Life Coaching
Being a young person can feel overwhelming. Whether you are seemingly balancing it all or are in the back of the classroom feeling the weight of the world, having someone help you navigate the road ahead can make all the difference.
While our goal is to support your kids in whatever chapter they are in, student coaching will cover topics from time management, goal setting, and accountability, to emotional intelligence, self talk and leadership skills. We feel that a holistic approach helps individuals prepare for the journey ahead in ways that are often overlooked.
Meet Palmer…
I began Skudneski Coaching and Therapy because, simply put, there is nothing I'd rather do more than support people in living their most meaningful lives.
A big motivator for the work I do comes from personal experience, but has been even more affirmed by the change I’ve seen in my clients’ lives, whether that be families, couples, or individuals. The idea of just coping or surviving our way through life doesn’t sit well with me. Doing interpersonal work undoubtedly can be scary, but the freedom and peace that can be found on the other side is worth every moment of challenge.
“Having Palmer to help navigate what it looks like to set goals, improve my mindset, and build a firm foundation for my future has been better than I could have imagined. He doesn’t lecture on what I need to do but equips me with the tools and approach I need in order to turn my “maybe one day” hopes into the life I am living now. I wouldn’t be where I am without him.”
-Quinn R, Connecticut, 17
“Thank you for the time you put into me, I really believe you have been a big part of my success. I have been able to find more independence through the part-time job you helped me with, as well as what you taught me about how to balance the effort needed to get grades I am very proud of, taking care of my relationships, and personal well-being.”
-Liam K., Texas, 16
“My work with Palmer has ended up being a highlight in my week. Our calls are like working out, sometimes it's hard to get yourself to the gym but when you finish you feel great and are fired up to take on the world. It’s not all fun and games but you know it's going to be good for you because he helps you take reasonable steps toward your goals and the future you want to have.”
-Tyler A., California, 14
