Joel Laos, MA, LPCC, is a counselor, mentor/coach, speaker, and leader who works with individuals, couples, and families at every stage of life — and who brings deep, particular experience cultivating growth in teens and young adults. He is the owner of Canyons Counseling in Castle Rock and a partner at The Clarity Group in Castle Pines, and holds an MA in Counseling from Denver Seminary.
What sets Joel apart isn't just training — it's terrain. He has personally navigated anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma, and he brings both professional expertise and the deep understanding that only lived experience can give. Clients describe his presence as warm and steady: a safe, non-judgmental space where real change becomes possible.
His approach is emotionally focused — combining evidence-based therapeutic techniques with the compassion and hope that come from his own journey of healing. Whether he's helping a young adult find direction, a couple find each other again, or a parent reconnect with their child, the goal is the same: lasting change that starts within.
