Cigna Therapists in Colorado

Hi! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Licensed Addiction Counselor (LAC) in Colorado, specializing in co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders. My clinical approach is compassionate, trauma-informed, and person-centered, incorporating evidence-based practices to help individuals navigate life’s challenges, build healthier relationships, and create meaningful, lasting change. I believe therapy should be a collaborative, judgment-free space where clients feel heard, supported, and empowered to grow.

I work with couples, women, and moms navigating anxiety, ADHD, trauma, relationship challenges, and life transitions. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in real life, creating a space where clients feel heard, understood, and supported. I incorporate evidence-based interventions, including Gottman Method techniques for couples, and offer faith-based approaches for clients who wish to integrate spirituality into their therapeutic journey. My goal is to help clients build practical coping skills, strengthen relationships, improve self-confidence, and create meaningful, lasting change.

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.

My name is Vennessia Jimenez, and I own Saving Grace Therapy Services in Strasburg, CO. I have a Bachelor of Social Work from Colorado State University and a master’s in clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Phoenix. In addition, I hold a certification with NBCC as a National Board-Certified Counselor as well as a license with the State of Colorado as a professional counselor.

I was drawn to this work because I know the impact that support from others can have. At different points in my life, I have benefited from people who helped me face challenges, understand myself more clearly, and move through difficult seasons with more honesty and direction. Those experiences taught me how powerful it can be to have someone help you feel less alone while also encouraging growth, accountability, and change. That shaped my desire to offer the same kind of support to others.

I am a licensed professional counselor who specializes in trauma, anxiety and stress. I came into the field to help others with the goal of providing a compassionate, non-judgmental space where you feel safe, understood, and empowered to move forward. Healing takes courage—but you don’t have to do it alone. If you’re carrying the weight of past hurts, feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, or struggling with chronic stress, I offer a steady, empathetic presence to help you make sense of what’s happening and find practical, sustainable ways to feel better. I blend evidence-based approaches with a relational, strengths-focused stance so we can tailor work to your needs, pace, and values. In our work together we’ll attend to how trauma shows up in your body, thoughts, and relationships, build skills to manage anxiety and stress, and create a clearer path toward safety and choice. I prioritize collaboration, respect your resilience, and help you reclaim a sense of control and meaning as you move through recovery. If this resonates with you, I invite you to reach out. -Let’s talk and see how we can work together toward the life you want.

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'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.

I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado and actively working in the field since 2010. I have been told that I have a calming presence, a decent sense of professional insight, and a serious approach to empowering clients to find success and improve their mental health. You don’t have to suffer in silence. I am there for you. I listen, collaboratively work with you, assist with life goals and help guide you toward better mental health.

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. Whether you’re seeking relief from emotional distress, clarity in your experiences, or a deeper connection to yourself, I provide support that is empathetic, practical, and rooted in your unique path.

Reaching out for therapy takes courage, and you don't have to navigate life's challenges alone. I provide compassionate, collaborative telehealth counseling for adults throughout Colorado in a space where you can feel heard, respected and supported. I specialize in helping clients navigate addiction and recovery, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, anxiety, life transitions, stress and emotional regulation. My approach is trauma-informed, person-centered and tailored to your unique needs. Drawing from evidence-based therapies including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Motivational Interviewing, we'll work together to better understand what's keeping you stuck, build practical coping skills and create meaningful, lasting change.

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.

With over 16 years of professional experience, I am committed to helping others find ways to be their best. I want you to be successful. Because of that, I work hard to find out where you're stuck in life and how to help you feel better. I am licensed in Colorado.I completed my Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Adams State College in Colorado where I enjoyed living in the San Luis Valley, taking day hikes on the weekends and enjoying the majestic mountain views.

Enjoying life can be difficult when you're dealing with day-to-day stress, not to mention the bigger challenges you face. My role as a therapist is to support you in finding solutions for some issues and learning to regulate difficult emotions or cope with the distress of harder issues. Whether your goals are to be healthier, improve time management skills, or create better relationships, I am here to motivate and support you non-judgmentally on your journey. Together, we can also delve deeper into past or current incidents and emotional states, working to create coping strategies and increase distress tolerance over time.

Welcome! I'm Natasha. Take a moment to acknowledge you've taken the first step towards bettering your mental health because, let's be honest, starting therapy can be empowering, confusing, or scary, all at the same time. Counseling can foster personal development in whatever way you may be seeking and help build the life you so deeply deserve. If that's what you're looking for, I'm here when you're ready to share.

Hi, I’m Shenelle Roebuck, LCSW, and I’m the founder of Kuumba Therapy, LLC. I’m a licensed clinical social worker, therapist, and empowerment-focused professional who believes that healing is not about becoming someone new, it’s about reconnecting with the person you have always been underneath the pain, expectations, and experiences that may have shaped you. For more than 15 years, I have had the privilege of walking alongside individuals as they navigate trauma, anxiety, life transitions, self-esteem challenges, relationships, and personal growth. At Kuumba Therapy, I focus on helping clients move beyond simply coping and toward living with greater confidence, clarity, purpose, and joy. I help clients recognize their strengths, understand how past experiences may influence their present, develop healthier boundaries, strengthen their self-worth, and create practical strategies for meaningful change.

Do you find yourself over-apologizing or carrying responsibilities that don't belong to you? Did you grow up in a home where feelings weren't tolerated? If that resonates, you are not alone. I work with adults who grew up in challenging, dysfunctional, or abusive environments and still feel the effects on their relationships and self worth today. We will explore these dynamics and how they have come to shape your life and sense of self. Together, we'll build the insight, confidence, and self trust needed to heal one step at a time. When we work together, you will be welcomed with curiosity, warmth, empathy, and a genuinely nonjudgmental space. You'll be supported in exploring and breaking generational pattens, learning to navigate difficult emotions, and challenging your inner critic. My goal is to help you grow stronger, more resilient, and more empowered along the way. Clients describe me as warm, easy to talk to, and authentic. Therapy with me is a space where can show up fully as you are and start creating a life that feels more peaceful, connected, and your own. Starting this journey can be hard, but you're not alone.

With an extensive background spanning the full continuum of care—from outpatient services to long-term inpatient mental health—I have dedicated my career to supporting individuals across a vast spectrum of life experiences. My professional journey has been shaped by the guidance of exceptional mentors and supervisors who have instilled in me a commitment to continuous growth as a provider. When a client chooses to invite me into their life, I view it as a profound honor and one of the highest levels of trust a person can extend. Because I value this relationship so deeply, I am committed to finding the right fit.

HI, I'm Kimberly. My desire is to come alongside you in your healing journey. Instilling hope is an important part of my process, together with empowerment, encouragement and education. My goal is to help you thrive instead of simply survive — to develop a greater understanding of yourself and feel more in control of your thoughts, emotions and responses. I'm glad you're taking the time to explore mental health options for yourself, your family or someone you care about. And blessings on your journey.

You may look like you have everything together on the outside while privately feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or uncertain about how to move forward. I work with adults navigating anxiety, trauma, women's issues, life transitions, and LGBTQ+ related concerns. Many of my clients come to therapy during periods of change, loss, self discovery, or emotional distress when the strategies that once worked no longer seem enough. Whether you're struggling with persistent worry, processing difficult experiences, navigating relationship challenges, rebuilding your confidence, or trying to better understand yourself, therapy can provide a space to pause, reflect, and heal. My goal is to help you gain greater clarity, reconnect with your strengths, and create a life that feels more aligned with your values, needs, and sense of purpose.

I am a bilingual licensed professional counselor and EMDR certified provider in Colorado. My background includes experience working with a variety of mental health conditions, such as mood disorders, personality disorders, trauma disorders, suicidal ideation, anxiety, depression, and psychosis. 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.

Hi, I'm so glad you're here. Taking the first step toward therapy can be one of the hardest.

I believe in meeting you where you are and honoring the unique experiences that have shaped your story. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you feel seen, heard, and understood as we work together toward healing, growth, and meaningful change. If this feels like the right fit for you, I'd be honored to connect and schedule an intake. I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation to help determine if we're a good fit.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over ten years of experience supporting children, adolescents, and adults through life’s challenges. My path to becoming a therapist began with my own experiences in counseling, where I discovered the power of having a safe, nonjudgmental space to heal and grow. That experience shaped my belief that therapy is not just about addressing problems, but about uncovering strengths, building resilience, and learning how to live with greater peace and purpose. I specialize in working with individuals managing anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, and relationship struggles. My therapeutic style is collaborative, compassionate, and practical. I incorporate evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Interpersonal Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I also integrate mindfulness techniques to help clients slow down, become more aware of their emotions, and respond in healthier ways. My role is not to “fix” you, but to walk alongside you in your journey, offering tools, insight, and encouragement. Clients who work with me often notice they gain greater clarity, stronger coping strategies, and more confidence in navigating relationships, boundaries, and personal goals. My ultimate aim is to create a safe space where you feel truly heard, validated, and empowered to make lasting changes in your life. I currently offer sessions during weekday daytime hours, which works well for clients with flexible schedules or those seeking therapy during standard business hours.

I have been in the feild for over 10 years and try to use research based methods of practice to help manage a wide aray of mental health issues.

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.

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

I'm Alix, a licensed clinical social worker with a little over nine years of experience providing compassionate and client-centered care to adolescents and adults. I am passionate about supporting clients who struggle with symptoms stemming from trauma, anxiety, OCD, and depression. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other evidence-based tools to recognize patterns that keep clients stuck and learn skills to help manage their day-to-day. 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.

Hello, my name is Shannon Dunnan. I specialize at working with individuals struggling with substance use, addiction, anxiety, depression, trauma, life-transitions, relationships, attachment, and emotion regulation challenges. Reaching out for support can feel both brave and uncertain, but beginning therapy is an important step toward overcoming challenges and learning new ways to manage life’s obstacles. My goal is to create a safe, supportive, and accountable space where you can grow, heal, and work toward meaningful change. I look forward to partnering with you to better understand the challenges you are facing and to help you move toward the goals you hope to achieve.

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.

One of the things I value most about being a therapist is getting to know people beyond the version of themselves they feel they have to present to the world. I've always been interested in what shapes the way we see ourselves, how we make sense of our experiences, and why certain patterns can be so difficult to change, even when we recognize them. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor, and I work with adults navigating anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma, identity, and major life transitions. I also specialize in PMDD, particularly the ways cyclical emotional changes can affect relationships, self-perception, and everyday life. My work is attentive to the influence of family, culture, and generational expectations, including the roles and responsibilities we may have taken on without ever really questioning them. My approach is relational, person-centered, and grounded in psychodynamic and attachment-based perspectives. I'm interested in understanding not just what's happening in your life, but what those experiences mean to you and how they've shaped the way you relate to yourself and others. My style is conversational, curious, and collaborative. I'll ask questions, share observations, and sometimes invite you to look at something from a different perspective. I don't believe every concern has a straightforward explanation or that recognizing a pattern automatically makes it easier to change. I value taking the time to understand those complexities rather than rushing toward a solution, while making room for you to show up as you are.

Hi there! I'm a Licensed counselor for CO, NC, and DC. I received my Master's Degree in 2007 and have spent a good bit of my career in crisis and residential settings before transitioning to direct care. I help adults who have experienced adverse events and or trauma to heal and begin to live their lives in a more peaceful way.

Hi, I'm Danielle Dickson, a Licensed Professional Counselor who believes that every behavior, emotion, and coping strategy has a story worth understanding. My passion is helping adults move beyond simply managing symptoms to truly understanding themselves, because lasting healing begins with self-awareness. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, trauma, depression, chronic stress, relationship difficulties, life transitions, emotional overwhelm, or feeling disconnected from who you are, therapy can provide a space to slow down, make sense of your experiences, and create meaningful, lasting change. Many of the people I work with have spent years trying to "fix" themselves. They've read the books, listened to the podcasts, tried coping skills, or even been in therapy before, yet still find themselves repeating the same emotional patterns or relationships. They often understand *what* they're experiencing but not *why* it keeps happening. That curiosity—the desire to understand yourself rather than simply silence symptoms—is where meaningful healing begins. My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, and grounded in evidence-based psychotherapy. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), mindfulness, somatic awareness, and neuroscience-informed interventions to help you better understand the connection between your thoughts, emotions, behaviors, relationships, and nervous system. Together, we'll explore the patterns that have shaped your life with curiosity instead of judgment, so you can begin responding from your values rather than automatic survival strategies. Above all, I believe therapy is about helping you know yourself more fully, understand yourself more compassionately, and create a life that feels authentic, intentional, and aligned with your values.

I'm a Colorado native with 25 years of experience in counseling. Our mission is to help you identify changes and set achievable goals, supporting you every step of the way. Do you feel broken, wounded, desperate, empty, guilty, lost? Our clients appreciate that we all share common experiences, and sometimes we need some professional care. I believe you have strengths that we can use in counseling to build up your resilience. I'm easy-going, very compassionate, and caring.

"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.

I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with more than 15 years of experience in community mental health. I have worked across a wide range of settings, including outpatient therapy, crisis services, and intensive community programs, and have supported people through some of the most difficult moments of their lives. In addition to providing therapy, I have supervised clinical teams and led mental health programs, giving me a broad perspective on what truly helps people heal. I offer individual therapy to adults. I work with adults experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, and major life transitions. I provide LGBTQ+ affirming care and am committed to creating a space where clients of all identities feel respected, understood, and safe to be themselves. My style is warm, collaborative, and down-to-earth. I believe therapy should feel like a steady place where you can be honest about what you’re going through—without judgment or pressure to be anything other than yourself. I focus on building a strong therapeutic relationship and helping clients develop practical tools while also making space for deeper healing and self-understanding.

I have been in the mental health field since 1996 and a licensed clinician since 2010. I am licensed in Texas and Colorado. I specialize in working with adolescents and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, and co-occurring substance use concerns. My approach is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and focuses on identifying maladaptive patterns, improving emotional regulation, and developing practical coping strategies to support long-term change. I’m passionate about helping people recognize their strengths and build a life that feels more balanced and intentional. I believe therapy should feel both supportive and useful. 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.

As a social worker for twenty years, I have seen both the incredible hardships that people face as well as human resilience and adaptability. I became a therapist because I believe that healing happens best when we feel seen, heard, and accepted—just as we are. In therapy sessions, I use humor, warmth, and genuine respect to create a safe and supportive space for that purpose.

Counseling is a second career for me. I am a Desert Storm era Navy veteran and spent twenty years in the business world as a successful sales manager. I have over thirty years of personal recovery experience and bring many tools to our sessions. I have done my own personal grief, anger, trauma and family of origin work so I can hold space for whatever your healing and recovery may require. I show up as my authentic self and tend to be very direct. If you are willing to do the painful work that healing requires, I may be a good choice as therapist for you. With both my own personal struggles with addiction and mental health challenges, I have empathy and respect for those willing to do the hard work of making changes.

Hello hello hello! Congratulations on doing one of the first steps of your journey: searching and initiating care for yourself! I'm glad you're here. My name is Jenny Simpson and I work with high achievers navigating depression and anxiety or even just conquering an adjustment period in their life - opening a business, taking a big exam, deciding on relationship dynamics. I have extensive history in hospital administration, working alongside varying diagnoses including mental health and substance use disorder. I hold a national certification and am licensed in three states (MO, KS, and CO) and am ready to party (have therapy) when you are!

My name is Connie Owens, and I specialize in helping women recover from narcissistic abuse and trauma through practical mental health strategies, nutrition, and lifestyle changes. I also provide biblical-based strategies for clients who request them. My approach is Holistic. We will address the 4 interdependent parts of self; 1. Mind, 2. Body, 3. Soul, and 4. Spirit. I believe that we are each uniquely different and to heal all of you we will need to treat all of you. Together we will develop a plan to look at all aspects of your life to figure out the contributing causes to your emotional pain, and then focus on a solution to help you -for good- so you can walk in freedom and live in peace. There is always hope!

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 believe that we all have the desire to feel safe, seen and celebrated in our relationships, workplace and community. However too often this desire is unmet and we are left wondering "Why am I here? What went wrong? What are my gifts?” My goals as a Licensed Professional Counselor is to create a therapeutic space where you can begin to explore those questions and move towards a place of empowerment and contentment. I have over 17 years of counseling experience and have helped clients who have struggled with stress and anxiety, chronic illness, low self esteem & confidence, and depression. I strive to treat everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

I believe therapy should be practical, collaborative, and grounded in approaches that have demonstrated clinical effectiveness. My style is directive, solution-focused, and evidence-based, with an emphasis on helping clients understand what is happening, identify what can change, and develop concrete strategies for moving forward. I view therapy as a collaborative process, while also believing that clients often benefit from a therapist who can provide clear guidance, thoughtful challenge, and practical direction. My goal is not simply to help you feel better in the moment, but to help you develop lasting skills and a stronger understanding of yourself.

I am a therapist that enjoys using client centered strategies to help clients better understand themselves and how they exist in the world around them. When I look at my journey through life, I have found that some of the greatest changes I have made were through conversations with others who helped me to see the world from a lens of choice. I have learned over the years that choice relates to actions, that in turn influence dynamics of empowerment and advocacy. Empowerment, advocacy, and perseverance are terms easy to grasp by definition, but much more difficult to follow through with in our day to day experiences. I believe that healing and growth really begin to set in when decisions are made to accept the current reality of ones life and then further commit to strategically apply necessary changes. Over time, I have noticed that therapy often can help people (myself included) gain a greater sense of self efficacy and self confidence, especially when we learn how powerful our thoughts and actions can be! In other words, it is ok if there are things happening in our day that we would rather not go through, however we also have a choice in how we respond in that day. I value the importance of a healthy and healing therapeutic relationship! I also value the process of exploring how trust and hope participate towards how we experience the world.

You're exhausted, wondering if anyone is going to reach your teenage son with ADHD. I was that kid and found my way through. Your son is struggling the same way I did. ADHD, too much homework, too little interest, too many people telling him to just try harder. I didn't get real support until the end of high school. Treatment changed the trajectory of my life. I went from community college to the University of Florida, then to a Master of Social Work from Florida State. My bachelor's was in Education Sciences with a specialization in Educational Psychology, which means I understand how ADHD plays out in a classroom, where so much of your son's pain probably lives. School is hard enough for these kids already, which is why I see clients in the evenings and on weekends. Therapy shouldn't add to what school is already taking from him.

Hi, and welcome to First Step Therapy. I understand how hard it can be to take that first step toward healing and you don’t have to do it alone. I offer compassionate, trauma-informed therapy for adults dealing with anxiety, past experiences, and life challenges. My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to your unique needs, drawing from evidence-based methods like CBT, DBT, and attachment theory. I’m here to provide a safe, supportive space where you feel heard and understood. Together, we’ll work toward healing and meaningful personal growth.

Most of the people I work with look like they have it together on the outside but feel overwhelmed, stuck, or under constant pressure internally. They’re capable, driven, and tired of feeling like they’re just getting by. I’m a licensed counselor who helps adults and adolescents slow things down, understand what’s beneath the surface, and build practical tools that lead to real, 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.

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. My therapeutic ethos revolves around empowering individuals through life's transitions, fostering growth, and igniting personal revolutions through psychotherapy. 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.

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.

You don’t have to keep carrying this alone. Maybe it’s anxiety that won’t let up, a heaviness you can’t shake, or the same painful argument with your partner over and over. Maybe something from your past still shapes how you feel today. Whatever brought you here, you deserve a space where you’re truly heard, without judgment and without having to have it all figured out. I’m David Rothman, a Licensed Professional Counselor offering telehealth therapy for adults and couples throughout Colorado. I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that real change begins with a strong therapeutic relationship. Together, we’ll look beneath the surface at the emotions, beliefs, and relational patterns behind what you’re struggling with. The goal isn’t only to feel better this week. It’s to understand yourself more deeply and create change that lasts. I draw on psychodynamic therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). That lets me tailor our work to you. Some clients want practical tools for managing anxiety or low mood. Others want to understand how their past shapes their present. Many want both. For couples: Conflict and distance often hide deeper needs for connection and security. I help partners recognize the patterns that keep them stuck, communicate in ways that land, and rebuild a sense of closeness and trust. Therapy with me is a place to slow down, gain perspective, and discover new ways of responding to life. You’ll get thoughtful guidance, honest reflection, and support grounded in where you are right now. Reaching out is often the hardest step. I’d be glad to hear from you and talk about whether we’re a good fit.
