Therapists near me in Colorado Springs, CO

My passion for this work spans over 6 years in the mental health and substance abuse field, and it is deeply rooted in my own personal journey with addiction and mental health recovery. This lived experience gives me a deeply empathetic, real-world perspective on the hurdles you face. I am living proof that everyone deserves quality mental health support, and that it is entirely possible to discover vital, healthy new ways of living. I work best with adult clients who are ready to navigate complex situations, find clarity, and transition into a healthier, more peaceful lifestyle. I have worked with many different types of clients, including those with addiction issues, and mental health issues ranging from anxiety to schizophrenia. In our sessions, you can expect a warm, accepting, and non-judgmental environment. I am a direct and collaborative therapist. I don’t just sit back and nod—I am an active participant in your healing journey. My therapeutic approach intentionally blends practical tool building with deep, compassionate reflection so you leave with real-world strategies. Additionally, for clients who are looking to process deeper history, I provide trauma-informed therapy through EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). Taking that first step toward therapy can feel daunting, but you deserve a space where you feel truly seen, heard, and supported.

Hello, I'm Cheryl. I believe healing is most effective when we care for the whole person—mind and body together. After more than two decades as a counselor, I returned to school to become a Nurse Practitioner so I could provide more comprehensive care. Today, I combine both perspectives to help people find lasting improvements in their mental and emotional well-being. My background allows me to look at the bigger picture. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, sleep concerns, the emotional impact of a medical condition, or navigating a difficult life transition, we'll work together to understand what is contributing to your symptoms and develop a treatment plan that fits your goals, values, and lifestyle. I believe every person deserves to be treated with respect, compassion, and genuine curiosity. Rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach, I tailor each session to your individual needs. My work draws from evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person-Centered Therapy, psychodynamic principles, and other therapeutic approaches when appropriate. The goal isn't to fit you into a particular treatment model—it's to find what works best for you.

I blend Trauma Focused CBT, mindfulness, and strengths based work to help clients feel grounded and confident again.

I believe healing happens when you feel supported, heard, and empowered to build a life that feels steady and meaningful.

Hello, I am Tom. I understand that our lives are profoundly shaped by significant people and experiences that influence the way we connect with others, how we think, and how we perceive the world around us. Some of these experiences are joyful and uplifting, while others may bring pain. It is natural for both types of experiences to leave a lasting mark on our identity, self-esteem, and sense of purpose.

My goal is to create a supportive, collaborative space where you feel heard and empowered to make changes at your own pace. All sessions are conducted remotely, allowing you to participate from the comfort and privacy of your own space. In our first session, we’ll talk about what brought you to therapy and what you hope to gain from the process, then work together to create a plan that feels realistic and encouraging.

My name is Miguel Lopez, a Hispanic male (He/Him/His) and U.S. Army combat veteran who brings a unique perspective to my work as a therapist. Fluent in Spanish and passionate about guiding people through life’s challenges, I hold a Master’s in Social Work from Walden University, a Bachelor’s in Criminal Justice from Colorado Technical University, and an Associate’s in Criminal Justice from Pikes Peak State College. With over a decade of experience as a caseworker, substance abuse counselor, and therapist, I’ve had the privilege of working with diverse clients facing real-life struggles and in need of daily support. Life can be tough, and we all face difficult moments—whether it’s a breakup, divorce, grief, the loss of a loved one or pet, or even a job loss. In these times, having an unbiased person to offer support can make a world of difference. I see trauma as an unexpected part of life that is often hard to process, but with the right help, it can be managed and overcome healthily. I’ve personally experienced more than my share of trauma, grief, loss, sadness, depression, and substance use, and I sought help to work through them. My approach to therapy is centered on helping people in the best way possible, always with an open mind. I often use Maslow’s hierarchy of needs as a guide, because I believe mental health is hard to prioritize when physical needs aren’t met, or issues like homelessness or substance abuse are present. I enjoy working with clients from age 5 to older adults who face Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, PTSD, Mood Disorders, Personality Disorders, and other mental health or substance use challenges. It’s easy to fight battles alone and suffer in silence, but you don’t have to anymore—together, we can work toward healing and a better future.

I’m a therapist who helps individuals improve their mental health with a blend of compassion, clarity, and practical tools for change.

Clients can expect a calm, supportive space where they feel heard and respected. I work collaboratively, helping you slow down, notice what’s happening internally, and develop strategies that create real movement toward your goals. Whether you’re working through recovery, managing overwhelming thoughts, or trying to find balance in daily life, I’m committed to helping you build insight, strengthen coping skills, and move toward a more grounded and empowered version of yourself.

I am a systems therapist, a trauma informed therapist with years of experience both with inpatient and outpatient care, and a couples therapist who has trained with the Gottmans as well as Stan Tatkin and others. I am strong enough to hold space for all of the confusion and pain that life can throw at us, and stay beside you as your find your way again. I strongly believe we have the answers inside ourselves, and that it's easy to get lost in the noise of the world, our families, and our relationships. It's my honor to travel with you as you find your way back to the life you want, your values, and your priorities.. I am familiar with anxiety, panic disorder, depression, grief, and adjustment disorders. I do have weaknesses: I am not trained in bipolar disorder, nor am I a licensed substance abuse counselor. I do not treat those concerns.

I am trained in EMDR, a type of specialty therapy for trauma and other issues that feel “stuck”. I am also certified in addiction counseling. I focus on long-term depth-based psychotherapy, so my style works best for people ready to start (or start thinking about) working on long-term issues, behavioral or thought patterns, and/or trauma that is affecting their lives. I can help you break through the stuck-ness you feel with persistent problems in your life and support you in unlearning the damaging things people and society have taught you to think about yourself.

I specialize in working with mothers navigating trauma, anxiety, burnout, and the deep identity shifts that come with parenthood. Whether your trauma is recent or rooted in childhood, becoming a mom has a way of bringing it to the surface.

Hi there, I'm Leslie. Do you often find yourself overwhelmed by the demands of a busy life? Maybe you feel like something is "off" that you cannot quite identify.

I believe therapy should be a place where you can be honest, feel understood, and still be challenged to grow. I work with adults navigating addiction and recovery, trauma, anxiety, life transitions, and relationship challenges.

I am an experienced clinician who will meet you where you are at with a compassionate and non-judgmental approach.

I work with individuals from diverse backgrounds who are navigating emotional challenges, life transitions, stress, or changes that have affected their overall well-being. This may include anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship concerns, self-identity, career transitions, chronic or medical conditions, and other significant life experiences. As a retired Naval veteran, I bring personal insight into military culture, service-related experiences, and the unique challenges that may accompany transitions to civilian life.

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 meaningful growth happens through relationships with ourselves, with others, and with the world around us. The therapeutic relationship is the foundation of our work together. My goal is to create a safe, steady, and compassionate space where you can explore your experiences, understand your patterns, and build greater trust in yourself. My approach is relational, trauma-informed, and strength-based. I integrate talk therapy, art therapy, and creative expression to support emotional awareness, healing, and personal growth. Together, we may explore attachment patterns, relationship dynamics, boundaries, self-esteem, identity, family relationships, and the experiences that have shaped who you are today.

At Kuumba Therapy, I focus on helping clients move beyond simply coping and toward living with greater confidence, clarity, purpose, and joy.

My work is for parents of kids who are neurodivergent, highly sensitive, or inexplicably challenging to parent — whether they've been formally diagnosed or you're just starting to sense that something feels off, we should talk.

Everyone has a story which impacts their core beliefs about themselves, relationships, life and choices made. I start with your story and want to learn what it has been like to be you in this life. I will help you to identify negative messaging and how those messages impact your life. I will include homework in most sessions to support your ongoing growth.

I believe that everyone has inherent strength. While I can be direct and to the point, I understand that this conversation is about your life, not mine. I also believe in the power of laughter and that everyone is capable of leading their best life. I live in a multi dog/cat/parrot household and odds are good you will not just hear them but may occasionally see them. No worries they don’t judge and have been sworn to HIPAA secrecy.

I'm a board-licensed therapist with extensive experience working with teens and adults. I believe that therapy is characterized by safety, trust, respect, and an emphasis on education and self-discovery. I have had the pleasure of conducting therapy with people of various ages and backgrounds. I have served in various clinical settings (e.g., inpatient psychiatric, outpatient counseling, addictions, etc.). My specializations include working with those who have experienced life-altering anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, substance use, and chronic stress.
