Therapists in Colorado

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Addiction Counselor, and I spent over 30 years walking alongside people though some to the hardest moments in their lives. If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward- you're not alone. I work with people facing anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and recovery from substance use, helping them find their footing again. My approach is grounded in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), along with mindfulness and motivational techniques. More than anything, I focus on meeting you where you are- with respect, compassion, and without judgement. Together we'll build practical skills to help manage emotions navigate challenges and create real lasting change. My goal is to offer a space where you can feel safe, heard, and understood... and where we can work together to build a life that feels more balanced, meaningful, and truly worth living

Welcome! I'm Emily, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CAADC) with a passion for integrative healing and mental health.

My favorite part of my job is witnessing your growth as a human on this crazy ride we call life!

I’m a mental health professional with a background in counseling, education, human services, and advocacy. I’ve worked with adults, youth, and families navigating relationships, life transitions, identity, stress, and difficult circumstances. My approach is relational, practical, and individualized. I believe therapy is about understanding the whole person, not just the problem that brought you in, and creating meaningful change that carries beyond the therapy room.

I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Licensed Addiction Counselor based in Colorado, helping individuals, couples, and families navigate anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. My approach is direct, supportive, and growth-oriented—I combine evidence-based practices like CBT, ACT, and DBT with deeper insight work to help you create meaningful, lasting change. I also specialize in working with professionals in high-demand fields. While not limited to these areas, some examples include individuals in the criminal justice system, medical field, legal field, and fellow clinicians. These roles often come with high levels of stress, responsibility, and emotional strain, and I provide a space where you can step out of that role, process what you carry, and receive the support you’re often expected to give to others. I work best with clients who are ready to move beyond feeling stuck and want both actionable tools and meaningful self-exploration. Whether you're navigating personal struggles, relationship dynamics, or the unique pressures of your profession, I provide a grounded, collaborative space where you can build confidence, clarity, and alignment with who you want to be.

I help clients who feel overwhelmed by worry, racing thoughts, tension, fear, or the sense that they cannot fully relax. My goal is to help you recognize the strength already within you and learn practical ways to feel calmer and more in control. Because anxiety is shaped by each person’s upbringing, life experiences, thought patterns, and current circumstances, I take time to understand your unique story. Together, we can identify what is fueling your anxiety and create a path toward greater confidence, progress, and peace.

I’m a therapist who believes people deserve a space where they do not have to filter, shrink themselves, or hold everything alone.

I am a licensed mental health counselor and military veteran.

I help clients better understand their experiences, develop healthier coping strategies, and move toward healing, resilience, and meaningful change.

Hi, I’m a therapist who believes therapy doesn’t have to feel intimidating or clinical to be effective. I help people sort through stress, self-doubt, relationship tension, and life transitions—with clarity, compassion, and a healthy dose of humor. My clients often tell me they chose me because I feel relatable and real, and because I’m not afraid to laugh with them even when things are tough. I’m straightforward and down-to-earth. I’ll meet you where you are without judgment, help you challenge what’s keeping you stuck, and walk alongside you as you make sense of what’s working—and what isn’t. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all therapy. I believe in real conversations, real growth, and helping you feel like yourself again (or maybe for the first time). Whether you’re navigating anxiety, burnout, relationship struggles, or just trying to feel more grounded in your life, I’m here to help you reconnect with your strength, your clarity, and your sense of possibility. You don’t have to be perfect or polished. Just bring yourself—we’ll take it from there.

I'm Stef, a licensed clinical social worker and registered yoga teacher. I work primarily with adults who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or stretched too thin by the demands of life. I also specialize in women's mental health, including pregnancy, postpartum, and parenting. I became a therapist because I know how easy it is to get caught up in taking care of everyone else while ignoring your own needs. Clients often tell me they appreciate that I am warm, direct, and genuine. Therapy with me is collaborative, practical, and sometimes includes humor when it helps. My background in both mental health and yoga informs the way I work. While we'll focus on understanding thoughts, emotions, and patterns, I also pay attention to how stress shows up in the body and how healing often involves reconnecting with ourselves as a whole person.

I work to help clients better understand what’s driving their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, while building real-life tools to manage stress, improve mood, and move forward. My approach is down-to-earth, structured, and tailored to your goals.

Many people come to therapy at a moment when they realize something in their life can’t continue the way it has been. You may feel stuck in painful patterns, overwhelmed by stress or uncertainty, or aware that something deeper needs attention. I offer a thoughtful, grounded space where we can slow down and explore what is happening beneath the surface so that meaningful change becomes possible. My work integrates mindfulness, somatic awareness, Internal Family Systems, and depth-oriented psychology to help clients understand themselves more clearly and move toward a life that feels more authentic and aligned.

Hi, I'm Shelly — a licensed professional counselor with a passion for helping people find their footing when life feels overwhelming. My journey in mental health began decades ago in music therapy, working in psychiatric settings where I first witnessed the remarkable capacity people have to heal when given the right support and a safe space. That foundation shapes the way I work to this day — with attunement, creativity, and a deep belief in each person's capacity to heal. I specialize in anxiety, OCD, trauma, and addiction recovery, using evidence-based approaches including Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help clients build real, lasting skills rather than just temporary relief. I have a particular heart for neurodivergent individuals — including those with ADHD and autism — who may have spent years feeling misunderstood. You do fit — sometimes it just takes the right space to discover that. My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical. Good therapy isn't just about insight — it's about leaving each session with something you can actually use. I'll meet you where you are, move at a pace that feels right, and work hard to make sure our time together is meaningful. For clients who desire it, I welcome the integration of faith and spirituality into our work. I believe healing touches the whole person — mind, heart, and spirit — and that for many people, faith isn't separate from their healing but central to it. I hold that with care and without pressure. Whether you're navigating a specific struggle or carrying a weight you've held for too long, you don't have to do it alone. Reaching out is the hardest step — and I'm really glad you're here. I'd love the opportunity to connect.

Throughout my career, I've worked with individuals who have experienced trauma, and I'm passionate about helping people reconnect with themselves and their strength. I also work closely with parents to build more structure and consistency in their homes, while supporting their own mental health growth. I started out working in the homes and communities of my clients through an intensive program, working with the families of children who were at risk for out of home placement, such as residential treatment or psychiatric hospitalization. This program was a 6 month therapeutic intervention, helping parents to better understand their children's needs, as well as helping children develop regulatory skills to help them be more successful, in their homes and communities.

Welcome! I’m Marianne, a bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). Taking the step to start therapy can feel empowering, confusing, or a bit scary all at once.

Are you struggling with feelings of anxiety, depression or other uncomfortable emotions? Has something happened in your life recently (or even long ago) that is causing you distress, interfering perhaps with your work, school, relationships or otherwise? To begin with, you're not alone! Also, there is help available. I'm Lynn, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the states of Maryland and Florida. I've been a practicing psychotherapist for the past 25 years. Having worked in private practice, hospitals, mental health centers and hospice, I am familiar and comfortable working with all ages, stages of life, sexual orientation, cultural and ethnic backgrounds. I have found the single most important factor in achieving successful outcomes in counseling is the connection between therapist and client. Therefore, I strive to bring my authentic, caring, and non judgmental self to each and every encounter I have with my clients. My diverse therapeutic background allows me to use multiple modalities in counseling clients. I strive to tailor my counseling techniques to match each individual's needs. Typically, using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as well as Dialectical Behavior Therapy help clients grow, gain insights into their behavior(s) as well as others and gain tools and skills in managing difficult emotions or situations in their lives. Deciding to enter into counseling can be a scary thought for many. If you are thinking about therapy, I encourage you to give yourself the gift of self-care and good mental and emotional health by taking that first step. I look forward to meeting and working with you!
