Authentic Connections is conveniently located in the heart of Castle Rock and the office has a wonderful, calming atmosphere.  Counseling is offered for individuals and/or couples, and the counselors are genuinely skilled.   I strongly recommend this office if you are looking for competent, faith-based counselors who care deeply for helping people.

I recently had the opportunity to visit Authentic Connections in Castle Rock and left incredibly impressed. Their space is beautiful, warm, and intentionally designed to feel safe and welcoming the moment you walk in. The proximity to Plum Creek also creates a really unique opportunity to incorporate nature and outdoor healing into the therapeutic process. Most importantly, their team is exceptional. They are thoughtful, skilled clinicians who genuinely care about the people they serve. You can feel the authenticity and heart behind what they’re building there - it's not just in the name. As a psychiatric provider in the community, I feel absolute confidence referring individuals, teens, and couples to their practice. Castle Rock is lucky to have them.

Dawn is an incredibly gifted clinician and group practice owner. Her ability to  see people for who they are and guide them to healing and deeper self-knowledge is almost unparalleled. With this as her therapy modality and way of building her practice, I would trust her or any of her team as my own therapist! Highly recommend to anyone in the Castle Rock area looking for counseling!

As a Certified Life Coach and Personal Trainer, I trust AC3 enough to refer clients, family and friends to them for professional care and counseling. Alexa Berstler is incredibly gifted as an intuitive, calm and genuine listener who offers poignant, impactful counsel. I seek personal advice from very few individuals and Alexa is first on my short list of gentle truth seekers. Alexa thoughtfully considers the person, the circumstance, the history and the potential for forward motion in order to bring much needed clarity, healing and growth. I highly recommend Alexa and AC3 for you and your loved ones in need of help and hope, while navigating this very complex life.
