Therapists licensed in Colorado

I am a board-certified Music Therapist and licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 14 years of experience, serving clients across California and Colorado. My own journey informs my work: I grew up in California and built a successful business before transitioning my life to Colorado. I then spent two years as a digital nomad—traveling by car across the US and living abroad for 1.5 years—all while managing and growing my business. I understand how to maintain excellence while in motion, and I use an IFS-informed somatic and creative approach to help you find that same internal groundedness and freedom.

My name is Nikki, I’m a therapist with seven years of experience, specializing in helping clients address anxiety, depression, and trauma. Using EMDR and a personalized approach, I guide clients in overcoming limiting beliefs and building resilience for a more empowered, fulfilling life. Together, we can navigate life's obstacles, build resilience, and rediscover your inner strength. Taking that first step toward healing is an act of courage, and I’m here to provide the empathy and support you need along the way.

Did you know that geese take turns leading to maintain a steady flight? Therapy works much the same way as we navigate the path forward together. As an experienced social worker, I welcome adults of all ages, backgrounds and identities. I guide clients through life's transitions and anxieties, focusing on neurodivergence and disabilities, caregiving and parenting, relationships, aging, and grief and loss. Together, we will chart a course toward your goals while exploring the broader forces shaping your life. I am by your side to help you spread your wings and embrace new possibilities. Let's get you heading in the direction you envision.

My degree from Naropa University is in Somatic Psychology with an emphasis in Dance/Movement Therapy, I am trained in EMDR, and I am also a certified Laban Movement Analyst and Alexander Technique teacher.

I can offer traditional talk therapy, integrate somatic therapy, movement, and/or EMDR, and offer whatever format looks best for each client. I work with children, teens, and adults in all stages of life. I am passionate about supporting others to heal and improve their quality of life.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado specializing in couples therapy, particularly couples caught in the pursue-withdraw cycle — one partner chasing the conversation, the other shutting down. I also work individually with men who go quiet during conflict. My approach is active and coaching-based: you'll practice new skills in session and bring real issues from your week so we can work them live. The goal is change you can actually feel, not just insight. I accept insurance for individuals. I only take private pay for couples counseling is $190 for 50 minute sessions.

Hi, I’m Dr. Jessica M. Shine, affectionately called Dr. J by many of my amazing clients! I’m a caring, down-to-earth therapist who is passionate and intentional about helping people heal from past experiences while navigating the difficult seasons life can bring. I work with adults experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, family dysfunction, life transitions, burnout, relationship challenges, and the emotional impact of chronic illness and medical experiences. I love working with people from all walks of life and building a therapeutic relationship where you feel safe, supported, heard, and never judged. I’m here to help you connect the dots, understanding how your childhood, family dynamics, relationships, life experiences, and trauma may be influencing the decisions you make and the patterns you see today. Think of me as your therapist, accountability partner, safe place to land, and cheerleader as we work together toward your healing and growth.

I’m Laura, a trauma-informed mental health clinician, ordained minister, and blossoming death doula. I work at the intersection of psychology, spirituality, and human transformation, supporting people through trauma, life transitions, grief, and deep identity shifts. My approach is grounded in clinical training and expanded through lived experience, spiritual exploration, and years of walking alongside people in their most vulnerable moments. I graduated with a Master’s in Counseling from Regis University with honors, where I served as President of the Honor Society, and I’ve been in my own personal therapy journey for over two decades. I believe deeply in what I ask clients to do: to stay curious, honest, and willing to grow. I work with people who are often highly sensitive, self-aware, and exhausted from carrying too much for too long. Many of my clients are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma histories, relationship struggles, or major life transitions that leave them questioning who they are and how to move forward. What brings people to my practice is often not just symptoms, but a deeper longing for clarity, grounding, and reconnection with themselves.

Taking the first step toward counseling can feel challenging, but it can also be the beginning of meaningful change, personal growth, and a healthier, more fulfilling life. With over 20 years of experience working with individuals across the lifespan—from adolescents in residential settings to older adults in hospital settings—I believe every person has strengths, abilities, and the potential to move forward, even during life's most difficult moments. I welcome the opportunity to work with individuals, couples, and families who are seeking support, understanding, and positive change. Whether you are navigating personal challenges, strengthening your relationship, working through family conflicts, or looking for guidance as a parent, you don't have to face these challenges alone. Together, we can explore new perspectives, improve communication, and find healthier ways to move forward. My approach to counseling is solution-focused, supportive, and collaborative. You are the expert in your own life. My role is to walk alongside you, help you recognize your strengths, explore possibilities, and develop practical tools to overcome challenges and work toward the life and relationships you want. You deserve the opportunity to feel better, find balance, build resilience, and enjoy a more fulfilling life. You don't have to have all the answers before reaching out, and you don't have to navigate every challenge alone. Whether you're facing a difficult season, looking for a fresh perspective, or ready to make positive changes in your life or relationships, I welcome you to take that first step. Together, we can focus on your goals, build on your strengths, and move toward a happier, healthier, and more fulfilling future.

Hi, I’m Taciana, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 11 years of experience supporting adolescents and adults through life transitions, emotional challenges, and difficult circumstances. I believe therapy works best when you feel genuinely heard, understood, and respected, and I take a collaborative, strengths-based approach that meets you where you are. My practice integrates evidence-based approaches including CBT, DBT-informed strategies, compassion-focused therapy, person-centered therapy, and culturally responsive care.

Hi, I’m Rebecca Jensen, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I believe one of the most important parts of therapy is having a space where you can be yourself and feel genuinely heard and understood.

Together, we’ll explore what’s weighing you down and build tools to help you move forward—one step at a time, with clarity and confidence.

I specialize in grief and loss, maternal mental health, faith-based counseling, and spiritual or existential exploration. I also have additional training in helping women who are navigating postpartum anxiety, trauma, and the emotional weight that can come with motherhood. We’ll gently explore the pressures that are keeping you stuck, so you can begin to feel more grounded and yourself again. My approach is warm, discerning, and grounded in the belief that meaningful healing often requires care that honors the complexity of what you are carrying. As a former school counselor, I also understand the difficulties families face. Whether you are moving through loss, adjusting to motherhood, wrestling with faith, or trying to find your footing in a season of uncertainty, you do not have to navigate it without support. If you are looking for a space that is thoughtful, compassionate, and deeply attuned to your experience, I would be honored to walk alongside you.

Hi! I’m Arley Gordon, LCSW, LISW-CP, a licensed therapist offering compassionate, inclusive support for adolescents, adults, and parents. My approach is rooted in trust, empathy, curiosity, and genuine care, and I believe meaningful change begins in a safe, supportive relationship where you feel seen and understood. I’m committed to walking alongside you as you grow, heal, and deepen your self-understanding. I am the founder of Talk About Stuff, a mental health practice dedicated to supporting individuals through life’s challenges.

I’m a trauma‑informed clinician who blends evidence‑based approaches with a warm, relational style. My work centers on helping clients understand their inner world with compassion, build practical skills for regulation, and move toward lives that feel aligned with their values. I draw from CBT, ACT, and neurodivergent‑affirming frameworks, and I aim to create a space that feels steady, collaborative, and genuinely safe for exploration and growth.

I specialize in working with women and LGBTQ+ adults who are ready to stop repeating the same relationship patterns and start building a healthier relationship with themselves. You may find yourself questioning your worth, losing yourself in relationships or friendships, struggling to trust your own decisions, or feeling stuck in patterns you know no longer serve you. Together, we'll explore where those patterns began, strengthen your self-trust, and create lasting change rooted in emotional safety and self-respect. My approach integrates attachment-informed, trauma-focused, and evidence-based therapy with practical tools that support meaningful change beyond our sessions. I believe healing involves the whole person, recognizing the impact of relationships, trauma, nervous system regulation, physical health, and life transitions on emotional wellbeing. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Sex Therapist, I also support clients navigating intimacy, sexuality, sexual trauma, religious shame, relationship transitions, and recovery from intimate partner violence.

I’m Niambi Bloom, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, milspouse, mom of two, and dog mom. I earned my BA in Psychology from New York University and went on to complete my MSSW at Columbia University, focusing on Clinical Social Work in Health, Mental Health, and Disabilities. Over the years, I’ve worked in crisis settings, supported families as a birth doula, and taught cultural competency to future providers. My journey to becoming a therapist began with curiosity about the human mind and passion for helping others. Working in crisis settings, as a birth doula, and teaching cultural competency, I noticed pregnant and postpartum moms often lack needed mental health support. This fueled my commitment to creating a safe space for this community.

With over a decade of experience, I help clients find relief, clarity, and emotional balance. Using CBT, mindfulness, and somatic approaches, I support healing from anxiety, depression, trauma, and chronic stress. My goal is to help you understand your emotions, build coping skills, and feel more grounded, empowered, and confident in your life. I have been a social worker for 13 years.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 12 years of experience in crisis response, clinical assessment, and trauma-informed care. I work primarily with adults and adolescents (12+) navigating trauma, anxiety, ADHD, burnout, and major life transitions. My approach draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT). I believe therapy should help people become more confident in understanding themselves and responding to life's challenges. My goal isn't to provide all the answers, but to help clients leave with the perspective and a different way of navigating challenges. Before entering outpatient practice, I spent many years working in crisis services and involuntary treatment settings. That experience reinforced something I continue to believe deeply: people are often capable of far more change than they realize. Everyone has the capacity to get better and make positive changes. I especially enjoy working with people who are curious, reflective, and invested in their own growth. Many of my clients are professionals, entrepreneurs, healthcare workers, first responders, and others balancing demanding lives while striving to live with greater purpose and intention. As someone who is neurodivergent myself, I also understand firsthand both the strengths and challenges that can come with ADHD, and I enjoy helping clients build systems that work with their brains rather than against them.

Hi, I’m Michelle Reese, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Colorado. My journey began in Virginia, where I grew up. Eventually, life led me west, where I now embrace Colorado’s sunshine and beauty. My therapy approach is honest, direct, and compassionate, with a sprinkle of dark humor. While I will not sugarcoat my feedback, I will root for you without judgment. I’ll provide feedback, teach you skills and encourage you to face your inner self-critic. With some assistance, you can live a life that has balance, purpose and joy!

You're not broken. Even though you feel anxious, or depressed, even distracted, the suffering will end. My goal is to help you find relief. My name is Kirt Baab, LCSW. I have been practicing psychotherapy and counseling since 1983. My practice focuses on using my training and experience to help people get out of the rut where they are stuck. In particular, I engage with people in ways that unlocks their greatest strengths and use those abilities to find relief. Most of us are unaware of how capable we are because we repeat what we know instead of learning something new. You'll find your meetings with me refreshing! I have helped patients change the way they look at themselves.

Do you find yourself constantly thinking, analyzing, or trying to make sense of everything? Maybe you replay conversations, anticipate every possible outcome, or search for the "right" answer before making a decision. You may understand yourself well on an intellectual level, yet still feel anxious, overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected. I provide therapy for young adults, adults, and educators—including teachers, school counselors, and other school staff—who are navigating anxiety, stress, burnout, relationship challenges, difficult experiences, or simply feeling overwhelmed by the demands of daily life.

Hi! I am Laura and I provide a compassionate, supportive space for individuals navigating life’s challenges, trauma, or anxiety. I work with clients who want to better understand themselves, manage overwhelming emotions, and develop practical strategies for coping and growth. My approach is collaborative and tailored to each person’s experiences. I prioritize creating a safe, nonjudgmental environment where clients can explore feelings at their own pace. Many of the people I work with feel stuck or uncertain about how past experiences affect their present lives. I help them build insight, self-compassion, and resilience while guiding them toward their personal goals. While my focus is on individual work, I also address the impact of relationships on well-being, helping clients navigate interpersonal challenges when they arise. I support clients in strengthening emotional awareness, identifying unhelpful patterns, and developing tools to respond to life’s stressors more effectively. I am drawn to clients who are curious about their inner world and ready to take steps toward meaningful change, even when it feels challenging. My goal is to walk alongside each client with warmth, respect, and understanding, empowering them to feel more confident in themselves and their choices. Therapy is a journey, and I’m honored to guide clients as they explore, heal, and grow.

During our sessions, I aim to create a warm and inviting space that helps clients feel comfortable exploring tough topics as we work toward creating a more compassionate relationship with themselves.

Hi! I am a LPC with fourteen years of experience in treating anxiety, depression, trauma, interpersonal struggles, and poor self-esteem. I specialize in using CBT based therapies. I also have a lot of experience treating trauma with EMDR and narrative-based methods. I believe that trauma plays a big role in the lives of people. Trauma comes in many forms and levels of impact. If we are able to process trauma and find healing, we can experience growth, wisdom, and strength of character. If not processed and healed, trauma can become a source of depression, isolation, anxiety and loss of identity. Secondary to the trauma treatment is focus on coping, communication, connections, identity building, and problem solving. We will work to build a better sense of power and control in your life, which is the core of emotional and psychological well-being.

I am a bilingual licensed professional counselor and EMDR certified provider in Colorado.

I have experience supporting survivors of intimate partner violence, human trafficking, migration trauma, war trauma, and cultural challenges. I work primarily with adults navigating trauma and life's challenges who want to understand how past experiences may be affecting their present life, and work to shift the patterns that are contributing to their distress. My approach is collaborative and down-to-earth. I aim to create a space that feels grounded, warm, and genuine--where people can slow down, explore themselves on a deeper level, and feel less alone in what they are carrying. I work at a pace that feels safe and manageable to my clients, while building insight and creating meaningful change. I am a calm, curious, open, empathetic, and insight-driven clinician who deeply values and respects the unique needs, qualities, and hopes of each individual I work with.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado and the owner of Thrive Counseling & Wellness, a virtual private practice dedicated to helping individuals find healing, resilience, and renewed hope. For more than a decade, I have had the privilege of walking alongside people as they navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, chronic illness, chronic pain, and life's unexpected challenges. My passion for this work comes from a deep belief that every person deserves to feel heard, understood, and supported without judgment. I know that many people carry invisible struggles while appearing to have everything together on the outside. Creating a space where clients feel safe enough to be authentic, vulnerable, and fully themselves is at the heart of my practice. I take a collaborative and compassionate approach to therapy, meeting each client where they are while helping them identify practical tools for lasting change. My work draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Person-Centered Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, and EMDR, allowing me to tailor treatment to each individual's unique experiences and goals. I have a special passion for supporting individuals living with chronic illness, chronic pain, high-functioning anxiety, depression, and the emotional impact of medical trauma.

You're here for a reason. The right fit can change the outcome. Maybe I can help. Whether it's the same fight on repeat, a habit you can't shake, a loss, or just not feeling like yourself, I invite you to keep reading to learn more about me and my approach. Maybe your life is working in most of the ways that count—work, relationships, the things you care about—but something keeps getting in the way. The same argument. Anxiety that doesn't match the situation. Shutting down when someone gets close, or blowing up and regretting it later. You might understand exactly what you're doing and still do it anyway. Or maybe something happened, like an affair coming to light, a relationship ending, or losing someone, and the way you've always handled things isn't working anymore. Therapy with me has direction. We'll know what we're working toward and check in regularly on what's changing and what's still getting in the way. What we work on in session should carry into your life, whether that means noticing a pattern, trying a different response, or having a conversation you've been avoiding. You'll know you're making progress when you catch a familiar pattern sooner, understand what's happening inside you instead of just reacting, stay steadier in hard conversations, set boundaries and make decisions with less second-guessing, recover from setbacks faster, and handle things on your own that you used to need help with. Progress doesn't mean you'll never feel anxious, angry, or stuck again. It means you're better at handling it yourself. As that becomes consistent, we'll space sessions out and eventually wrap up. The goal is for you to need me less over time.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Addictions Counselor in the state of Colorado. I received my Master's degree in Forensic Psychology from the University of Denver in 2017. After completing my Master’s Degree, I spent almost six years working with criminal justice involved clients - from substance abuse to domestic violence offenders. While I learned a lot doing that work, and it was extremely fulfilling to service victims and offenders, I decided to pursue working for myself within the private practice setting. I primarily utilize Cognitive Behavioral and Dialectical Behavioral techniques in my sessions, as well as being trained in Brainspotting for trauma specific treatment. I strongly believe in the connection between physical health and mental health, and do my best to focus on both aspects with the clients I see. I feel fortunate to be able to hear and share in other's stories and be a part of their journey to wellness.

My counseling style is empathic and conversational, grounded in respect, sensitivity, and compassion. We'll incorporate your experiences, feelings, and values into a meaningful life story. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, narrative, and evidence-based strategies while allowing space for rediscovery, growth, and repair. I specialize in depression, self-esteem, substance use and misuse, men's mental health, and relationship issues. Relationships are often the most important things in our lives, and all treatment holds this at its core. When we pursue change, we strengthen our relationships and become better partners, parents and friends. I strive to meet the client where they're at and tailor the approach based on their needs. My style is empathic and supportive. We will figure out where and how you'd like to make changes, uncover the patterns that have kept you stuck, and do the rewarding work of letting go of the things that aren't working for you anymore.

I am Tara, a seasoned Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a solid academic foundation in Communication and Social Work. I've worked with all types of people from across the globe.

It is incredibly important to me that each person I meet walks away feeling heard and that they are one step closer to their life goal.

"Mend from heart" is the English translation of my counseling services dedicated to helping couples, families, and individuals address and overcome trauma, adverse events and situations in their lives with empathy, trust, and solution based counseling. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor who takes a warm, collaborative, and practical approach to therapy. I believe meaningful change begins with feeling heard, understood, and accepted while also having the support and tools to move forward. My practice focuses on helping individuals, families, and couples better understand themselves and their relationships, navigate life’s challenges, and develop healthier patterns that support greater connection, confidence, and fulfillment. Together, we’ll create a space where you can be honest, explore what’s really going on, and work toward meaningful, lasting change.

Welcome. I work with adults who feel weighed down by sadness, stress, or disconnection—even if they can’t always explain why. Many of the people I support are parents who want to show up with patience and love for their children but find themselves triggered by old wounds or past patterns. Together, we explore what it means to care for both the child in front of you and the child within you. My approach is somatic and creative, weaving in body awareness, journaling, expressive arts, nature, and reading books. If you’re seeking healing from attachment wounds, longing to feel lighter, or simply hoping to feel more at home in your own skin, therapy can offer the safe space to begin.
