Hi! My name is Laura. I've been licensed for twenty years. I have an eclectic work history from private practice to healthcare work to non-profit agency work. In addition to my Masters of Social Work and being a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I have a Master's in Education with an emphasis in Early Childhood Education. My broad background and yes, I'll claim it, my maturity combines to help me meet you where you are and together take you to where you want to be. I am a grounded yet curious lifelong learner. I am currently studying the brain and the central nervous system and their impact on our body mind spirit connection. I am a holistic practitioner. In my own life, like you, I have been able to navigate most of life's challenges on my own or with the help of a good friend or loved one but there have been other times when I too have reached out for support. As you review provider profiles trust your heart. One will speak loudest to you.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor specializing in substance abuse. For the past three years, I have helped adult individuals heal from mental health and substance abuse issues, utilizing a multifaceted approach to have therapy meet your individual needs. I have training in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Addictions Counseling, and trauma. I have experience in depression, anxiety, addictions, relationship conflicts, trauma, and abuse. I see therapy as a collaborative process to guide you to greater self-awareness, trust, and sense of meaning. My approach focuses on self-love, learning how to heal through traumatic and difficult experiences to find strength and resilience. I use an interpersonal, non-judgmental approach to provide you with the foundation to create a stable and sustainable life. My goal is to help empower you to manage difficult emotions, find purpose and passion, in order for you to live a life aligned with your personal goals. If you are feeling stuck in your relationship, in your interpersonal life, let’s work together to help you heal and find the answers you are searching for.

My approach is collaborative, practical, and grounded in evidence-based therapies. I work with adults of all genders, including individuals and couples, who are navigating emotional, relational, or life challenges. I focus on helping clients make sense of their experiences, rebuild self-trust, and develop tools that support meaningful, lasting change. Many clients leave therapy feeling more grounded, empowered, and better equipped to move forward with clarity and confidence.

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.

My therapeutic style is straightforward, and I invite open communication about clients’ experiences in therapy throughout the process. People would likely describe me as direct and straight to the point. Most often, I practice through the lenses of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), attachment theory, and existential theory. How I help clients reach goals: I believe clients are capable of developing their own solutions, and that a collaborative therapeutic relationship can support meaningful progress toward the life they want. I hope that by working together, we can organize and achieve your goals, whatever they may be. If you're unsure of what direction you want to head, we can work on that together, too. My journey to becoming a provider: I am a prior service turned mental health professional. I served in the U.S. Army as a combat medic from 2009 to 2012, with one deployment to Iraq. After my service, I switched over to mental health, starting with working in an inpatient mental health facility. I have since worked at a substance use clinic, a private practice, a team practice, and taught psychoeducational classes alongside DHS. I hold two master’s degrees, in addition to a bachelor’s and an associate's degree. I bring specialized knowledge and clinical focus in trauma, sexual concerns, and disordered eating.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the states of Oklahoma and Colorado with over 18 years of experience providing compassionate counseling and case management care across outpatient, state, and federal settings. My work has included supporting individuals, couples, and families at every stage of life from early childhood through adulthood. My expertise includes offering tailored interventions for diverse communities including Veterans, individuals with serious mental illness, people with developmental disabilities, LGBTQ2+ clients, and Native American populations. I am eager to begin the therapeutic process together!

Feeling overwhelmed, stuck in patterns, or disconnected from yourself? You’re not alone. I help clients navigate anxiety, relationship challenges, and life transitions with compassion and insight. My goal is to support you in feeling more grounded, understood, and empowered to move forward in your life. My approach is transpersonal, mindfulness-based, and person-centered. I focus on helping you reconnect with your inner wisdom while strengthening the mind-body connection. Together, we explore patterns, emotions, and experiences in a way that feels safe and supportive. I tailor therapy to your unique needs, integrating mindfulness, trauma-informed care, and relational work to support deep and lasting healing.

Hello, my name is JoAnn Zerr and I have a Masters in Community Counseling and two licensures with DORA. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and also a Licensed Addiction Counselor. I enjoy connecting and helping clients gain insights, resolve trauma, and learn improved relationship skills. 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.

Before I worked as a counselor I worked as a technical writer and software tester, and then as a caseworker in social services. I have also been a studio engineer with much work in audio and video editing and got to spend a year on the film festival circuit for a documentary I made about being an independent musician. All of those experiences I feel are helpful in working with clients from different backgrounds and perhaps in understanding that most of us want to find something meaningful in this life and often feel that we still don't know what our real calling.

​Hello! I’m LuAnn, a licensed clinical social worker and Grow therapist based in Colorado. If you’re reading this, you’re likely looking for professional support, and I’m glad you’re here. ​A little about me: I am a neurodivergent female originally from the Southeast Coast, though I’ve called the Colorado mountains home for nearly twenty years. I’ve been in the mental health field for over 30 years, working with people of all ages, backgrounds, and walks of life. I tend to work best with those who prefer an informal, authentic connection and can appreciate a bit of humor along the way. When I’m not in session, my husband and I run a small sanctuary for special-needs cats.

Welcome! My name is Elisha and I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist and clinical alcohol and drug counselor with over 6 years of experience. If you are looking for a couples therapist or to get help for substance use, you are in the right place! I provide in-person sessions in Grand Junction, CO and telehealth sessions in CO, NV, and FL.

I’m a compassionate counseling professional dedicated to helping individuals feel understood, supported, and empowered as they navigate life’s challenges. I believe that meaningful change begins in a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can speak openly and explore your thoughts and emotions without fear. My role is to walk alongside you in that process, offering guidance, insight, and practical tools that support your growth. My approach is collaborative and tailored to each person’s unique experiences, values, and goals. I draw from evidence-based practices while remaining flexible and responsive to what works best for you. Whether you’re facing anxiety, stress, relationship concerns, or simply feeling stuck, I focus on helping you build self-awareness, strengthen coping skills, and develop a clearer sense of direction. I strive to balance warmth and empathy with honesty and gentle challenge, helping you recognize patterns that may be holding you back while also honoring your strengths. Clients often describe my style as grounded, approachable, and supportive, with a focus on real-life application. Ultimately, my goal is to help you feel more confident, resilient, and connected—to yourself and to others. I’m committed to creating a space where you feel heard, respected, and capable of meaningful, lasting change.

I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, past trauma, and co-occurring substance use, especially those who want to better understand how their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are connected. I’m particularly well-suited for clients who are motivated for change—even if they’re unsure where to begin—and are open to a collaborative, skills-based approach to therapy. In my practice, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and challenge unhelpful thinking patterns, such as catastrophizing or all-or-nothing thinking, and replace them with more balanced, realistic perspectives. I incorporate techniques like cognitive restructuring, behavioral activation, and practical skill-building to support lasting change. I also utilize Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), an evidence-based approach that helps clients process traumatic experiences and reduce the emotional distress tied to those memories. This approach has been especially effective in helping clients experiencing trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and substance use challenges achieve meaningful, lasting relief.

I am a Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience supporting individuals in both private and government settings. My practice is grounded in meeting clients exactly where they are and honoring the strengths, values, and lived experiences they bring into the room. I integrate multiple evidence‑based modalities, including EMDR, Strengths-Based approaches, Positive Psychology, and CBT, to create a personalized and effective plan for each person I serve. My work is rooted in compassion, collaboration, and the belief that every individual has the capacity for growth and meaningful change.

Hello, I'm Susan Simianer, an LPC in Colorado. With over 15 years of experience, I have had the privilege of working with individuals from diverse backgrounds, helping them navigate life's challenges and transitions. I have a deep passion for person-centered therapy, where you, as my client, guide your own process. I believe in the power of autonomy and strive to emphasize it in every aspect of your life. My approach is comprehensive, especially when working with trauma, depression, and anxiety disorders. I have spent years educating clients on healthy relationships and providing support around codependency. Throughout my career, I have worked as a school-based therapist, providing therapy to students, and in a medical setting, delivering behavioral health care to patients. Currently, I work alongside other counselors in a practice dedicated to supporting families experiencing poverty and mental health issues. My specialties include working with trauma, anxiety, bipolar disorder, adolescent and teen mental/behavioral health, depression, dissociative disorders, family relationships, life transitions, domestic violence, intimate/romantic relationships, somatic symptom disorder, spirituality, and stress. My modalities include, cognitive behavioral therapy, Accelerated Resolution Therapy, somatic work, and Neurofeedback. I live in a small town with my husband on the Western Slope of Colorado which is so beautiful. I get to spend my summers going to Crested Butte, Telluride, Ouray and all of the great mountain towns. My kids are grown. Having lived in both Denver and rural areas, I understand the unique challenges and benefits of different living environments. My sincere hope is to help you become more resilient and to sustain and/or create healthy relationships with those you care about. Together, we can identify your values, strengths, hopes, and dreams, and develop the skills you need to navigate this world with confidence.

When life's challenges - work, relationships, money troubles, illness or injury become too much to manage, or when the pain of the past pops up when you least expect it to disrupt sleep, or when daily stressors build up and make it hard to cope, that's when more than a friendly ear is needed. That's when a professional can help you heal the compounding effects of life experiences. If you are seeking long-term relief from anxiety, trauma, depression, low self-esteem, relationship issues, grief or loss, I will help you heal those emotional injuries that compound over a lifetime and make life lose its meaning. And I will empower you to heal the emotional pain that is preventing you from living your best life.

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.

Since earning my Master's in Social Work in 2016, I've dedicated my career to supporting individuals through life's challenges. My journey has taken me from child protective services and a mental health hospital in Colorado, to working with individuals experiencing homelessness and addiction, and serving as a school social worker across all grade levels. Now, in Georgia, I balance my private practice with working as a clinician at a crisis center, helping those in mental health emergencies. My passion lies in guiding teenagers, adolescents, and young adults through life's transitions—whether it's school, work, or relationships—and helping them find their path forward.

My style is warm, collaborative, and grounded in your lived experience. I integrate person-centered therapy, motivational interviewing, CBT, DBT, solution-focused strategies, and narrative therapy. Together, we explore your story, build practical skills, and move toward meaningful, sustainable change at a pace that feels right for you.

I have been in the mental health field since 1996 and a licensed clinician since 2010. I am licensed in Texas and Colorado.

With over 15 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 and Texas. 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.

I am a Licensed Professional Mental Health Counselor who believes in creating a supportive, respectful space where clients feel heard, understood, and valued. I approach therapy from a humanistic, client-centered perspective and view the therapeutic relationship as a collaborative process in which clients are the experts in their own lives. I work with individuals navigating stress, life transitions, trauma, and challenges related to identity, relationships, and meaning. While my foundation is person-centered, I take an eclectic approach, drawing from evidence-based practices and adapting interventions to meet each client’s unique needs, goals, and pace. My role is to offer support, insight, and practical tools while honoring each client’s autonomy and lived experience.

I am a bilingual therapist, and I am fluent in Spanish and English. As a therapist my primary focus is building a relationship with my clients. It’s also important for me to provide safe space for you. I want my clients to feel heard, listen, and valued. As a therapist, I have a very direct and empathic approach. I believe that clients are experts of their own lives. I am here to provide the tools and support to help you reach your goals.

As a transpersonal therapist, I view therapy as a holistic healing container, in which I am a fellow traveler on the path to wholeness. My goal is to awaken the knowing that is already alive within you, guiding you to your truest self. I have been on a personal journey of self-discovery and awakening for over a decade through meditation, yoga, practicing massage therapy for 5+ years, deepening an understanding of healing through the body mind spirit connection. I arrived in the field of counseling as a culmination of my personal journey, from a desire to serve others on the path to healing and integration.

At the heart of my practice is the belief that you possess an incredible capacity for deep growth and healing. I provide a compassionate and collaborative space where you can explore the challenges that stem from anxiety, stress, trauma, and more. It's common to feel like something's missing, or that you're not quite good enough – constantly thinking happiness depends on getting "this" or waiting for "that." But this kind of thinking often leaves us on the receiving end of life, instead of actively shaping it.

I am a Master’s-level Social Worker with specialized training in clinical counseling.

Hi, I'm Kristin. I'm a Licensed Addiction Counselor and a Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado. I have worked in the field of co-occurring disorders since 2011, primarily in substance use treatment programs, jails, and with individuals struggling with serious mental illness. I began my private practice during the height of COVID-19 in May 2020. I specialize in relationship issues (boundary work, attachment styles, and interpersonal dynamics), as well as substance use and trauma. My best work is with individuals who have experienced significant conflict or trauma in their lives and seek to understand the impact of this experience and learn from it to enable purposeful movement forward.

Hi, I’m Chad Stiles, PhD, LMFT. I’m a Marriage and Family Therapist who works with adolescents, adults, couples, and families navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges. I have a particular focus on supporting those impacted by military sexual trauma and the ways it can affect both individuals and their relationships. My approach to therapy is collaborative, strength-based, and solution-focused. I believe you are the expert in your own life, and my role is to help you identify your strengths and use them to move forward in a way that feels meaningful and manageable. Rather than staying stuck in what’s not working, we focus on what is working and how to build on it. Clients often come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of what the next step should be. In our work together, we create a safe, respectful space where you can explore your experiences at your own pace. There’s no pressure to have everything figured out—just a place to start. Whether you’re seeking support individually or as a couple, therapy can help you gain clarity, improve communication, rebuild trust, and feel more grounded and in control of your life.

I am a Colorado and South Carolina Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with extensive experience working with: individuals in the midst of grief and other major phase-of-life transitions like divorce, job loss, legal challenges, etc.; teenagers who are struggling with a variety of mental health challenges; couples and families that are struggling to find common ground; and fractured families prior to, during, and after divorce. Building strong families, even through divorce or custody battles, incarceration, or other prolonged periods of estrangement, is a particular area of focus for me. I offer reintegration therapy services for parents and children who have experienced short- and long-term separation or alienation. I love working with families who want to find a way to function better post-divorce. In addition, I spent a decade working for the Alzheimer's Association, which included counseling individuals and families who were facing a diagnosis of dementia. Prior to venturing into the counseling field, I ran a non-profit that operated a 100-bed homeless shelter, a family transitional housing program, and an eight-unit supportive housing project for Veterans. I have a heart for working with military veterans and their families -- having 22 years of service in the US Air Force myself. I served on Active Duty for 6 years, and after a break in service, completed another 16 years as a Reservist. My spouse served alongside me, with each of us deploying twice. Our son is currently serving as well. Therefore, I have been the deployed service member, the spouse left to manage things back home, and the mom watching her "baby" deploy to far-off places. There is almost no part of military service I do not understand through first-hand experience.

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.

I have been a therapist for over 18 years. I have extensive experience working with diverse populations and have lived in five different countries. I am action-oriented and believe in actively working towards treatment goals. In each session, short treatment assignments (10 minutes a day or less) are given to keep you focused and moving forward to achieve treatment success.

I am a licensed professional counselor in Colorado with over 10 years of experience working as a mental health therapist. I received a bachelor’s in psychology in 2006 and a master’s in clinical Mental Health from the University of Colorado in Colorado Springs in 2010. I have worked with the English and Spanish speaking civilian and military population in a variety of areas, some of which are: couples counseling, family counseling, parenting, blended families, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), domestic violence, grief, communication skills, personality disorders (such as bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder), ADHD, depression, anxiety, emotional and sexual abuse, life changes, divorce, immigration, addictions, and military individual LGBTQ+ and family issues.

I am a dedicated therapist who believes that every individual possesses an innate, unbreakable resilience. My practice is rooted in a client-centered philosophy, meaning I view you as the expert of your own life. Together, we will tap into your internal strengths to navigate life’s challenges, fostering a space where you feel truly seen, heard, and empowered to create lasting change.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Doctor of Natural and Bioenergetic Medicine, I have dedicated my career to understanding the profound dialogue between the mind and the body. In my years of clinical practice, I began to see a recurring pattern: traditional psychotherapy is powerful, but it often reaches a ceiling when the body’s "biological battery" is depleted. I realized that to truly help my clients heal from the inside out, I needed to bridge the gap between psychological processing and the body’s subtle energy systems. My approach is built on the premise that your life experiences—your joys, traumas, and daily stressors—do not just live in your memory; they live in your cells and your energetic field. By integrating my clinical LPC background with my doctoral training in bioenergetic medicine, I offer a unique, 360-degree therapeutic experience. We don't just talk about the obstacles in your life; we work to shift the underlying energetic and physiological patterns that keep those obstacles in place. Whether you are navigating the heavy fog of depression, the constant hum of anxiety, or the complexities of unresolved trauma, my practice is informed by a deep understanding of human bioenergetics. This allows us to look beyond surface-level symptoms to explore how your environment, your lifestyle, and your body’s unique energy pathways are impacting your emotional resilience. My mission is to guide you toward "Integrated Health"—a state where your mind is clear, your nervous system is regulated, and your spirit is fully aligned.
