Grief Therapists in Colorado

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Addictions Specialist with decades of experience in the field. My passion is psychotherapy with adults and couples. I support my clients through a trauma-informed lens. I tailor my treatment approach to each client's individual needs. I am warm, supportive, non-judgmental. I consider it a privilege to partner with my clients in their healing.

My name is Tawny and I have been in clinical practice for over 25 years using an eclectic modality to help you get unstuck and feel understood with a plan to move forward. I infuse humor into sessions and be as directive in treatment as it aligns with your preferred approach to successfully achieve the outcomes you are looking for!

I’m a trauma-informed, gender-affirming therapist with 7 years of experience helping people navigate trauma, sexual abuse, PTSD, and questions around identity. I also have experience working with young kids, which shaped the way I bring empathy and care into every session. I use a mix of CBT, ACT, attachment-based, and mindfulness approaches to help clients build coping skills, self-compassion, and resilience while staying true to who they are.

Hi, I’m Rachel Wirtanen, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Denver, Colorado. I specialize in working with adolescents and adults navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, and complex PTSD. My approach integrates polyvagal-informed, nervous system–focused therapy with holistic interventions—including mindfulness, nature-based practices, and somatic tools—to support meaningful and lasting healing. I strive to create a compassionate space where you feel seen, empowered, and supported as you reconnect with your resilience.

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.

Personal Statement I enjoy helping people get along with each other - with their spouses, parents, children, friends, coworkers. Relationships are often complicated by issues from the past, and I work at a deep level to address present day and past issues. I like to help heal individuals who have been traumatized recently or in the past. My approach is love based, and focused on reducing stress and healing fears. I focus more on healing which leads to permanent change than on temporary behavioral change, and I integrate the most recent brain research. I also honor and integrate my patients' spiritual beliefs and values into the therapy. I use attachment based therapy which is very relationship focused. I focus on healing rather than behavioral change. I am not here to judge but to help heal. I often use EMDR, especially when dealing with trauma. I like to say that EMDR does NOT help you cope better with your feelings, after EMDR you will actually feel different. That is what happens with real healing. I am very interactive and my sessions tend to be lively and to produce comparatively fast results.

I was born and raised in Florida. As a kid, I spent a lot of time playing video games and exploring the outdoors, searching for jellyfish, crabs, and manatees along the coast. I struggled to stay on top of assignments early in school, but during college I began treatment for ADHD and was able to flourish. That experience shaped my desire to support people in similar positions and help them move closer to the life they want to live.

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.

Hello, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who resides in Arizona. I have an LPC in both the state of Arizona and Colorado. For more than 8 years I have worked with both young adults and adults suffering from mood disorders, chemical addictions, behavioral addictions, and grief/loss. I have specific training in grief therapy, sexual addiction, as well as trauma informed care.

I am Kaneka Hall, a licensed clinical social worker. I have over 13 years of experience in various settings and various populations including military/veteran, children, adults as well as the geriatric population in community and hospital settings including long-term care/nursing homes. I specialized in disorders such as anxiety, depression and ADHD as well as situational challenges such as family conflict, relationship and peer challenges, life transitions, and religious and cultural challenges.

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.

You might feel like you’ve been carrying too much for too long—trying to keep it together while life feels heavier than it should. Maybe anxiety keeps running the show. Maybe you’ve been stuck in habits or patterns that don’t serve you anymore. Maybe you’ve gone through heartbreak, loss, or betrayal and can’t quite find your footing again. Or maybe you just know something’s off, and you’re tired of pretending everything’s fine. Here’s how I can help. Together, we’ll slow things down and get to the root of what’s really driving your emotions and behaviors—not just the surface stress, but the deeper patterns that keep showing up. I’ll help you develop tools to manage overwhelming thoughts and feelings in real time so you can start responding differently instead of reacting automatically. We’ll also focus on rebuilding your confidence and connection—with yourself and the people who matter most. That means learning how to trust your own instincts again, set boundaries without guilt, and create habits that actually last. Therapy with me isn’t about endlessly talking through problems—it’s about real movement. My goal is to help you feel lighter, more grounded, and genuinely hopeful about where you’re headed.

I work with people who are ready to slow down, look inward, and truly start feeling more like themselves again. I specialize in helping with anxiety, depression, and life transitions like break ups and divorce, job loss, or starting something new. My goal as a therapist is to help people figure out how to feel better, find out more about themselves, and face tough decisions.

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 launched my practice for the purposes of helping clients increase self-compassion and build resilience in the face of adversity. We all find ourselves stuck at times and taking the step to start therapy is a radical act of self care. Through consistent support we can move beyond surviving to truly thriving. By first accepting who we are and processing our experience, we then are able to create change and can live more intentionally.

I’m Bill Hodson, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Addiction Counselor (LAC) with more than 30 years of experience in behavioral health. Throughout my career, I’ve worked across many levels of care — including inpatient, residential, medical detox, day treatment, and outpatient settings. These experiences have shaped my understanding of how trauma, PTSD, and addiction impact people’s lives, and why individualized, compassionate treatment is so important. I specialize in helping adults heal from trauma and co-occurring addiction, with a particular focus on first responders, veterans, and individuals in high-stress professions. These clients face unique challenges, and I provide a safe, confidential space where they can process their experiences without judgment. I also work with adults from all walks of life who want to overcome trauma, anxiety, or patterns of substance use. In my practice, I use EMDR therapy to help clients reprocess painful memories, reduce triggers, and restore emotional balance. I am also certified in Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP), a cutting-edge approach for trauma, depression, and treatment-resistant conditions. By combining EMDR, KAP, and trauma-informed counseling, I create individualized treatment plans that meet clients where they are and help them move forward at a pace that feels safe. My clients often describe me as compassionate, collaborative, and approachable. Many find that over time, they experience relief from symptoms, improved relationships, and a renewed sense of resilience and hope. My goal is to help every client move from surviving to truly thriving.

I’m so glad you’re interested in investing in your healing journey. It has been my passion to empower others to process their traumatic experiences and work through difficult thoughts and emotions that get in the way of seeing their potential for growth. You have a unique story and meaning in this world. My goal is to help you create a loving relationship with yourself and to ultimately help you achieve your purpose. I look forward to working with you.

Life can change in an instant — an injury, a diagnosis, or loss — leaving your world unrecognizable and overwhelming yet even here, steadiness is still possible. Whether you're the one directly going through it, or love someone who is, you are thrust into a world you never expected to be in and carrying a weight you did not ask for.

Hi, I’m a therapist who works with teens, young adults, and even connect well with adults who are feeling anxious, stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves.

In therapy with me, you can expect a warm, down-to-earth space where you don’t have to pretend or have it all together. I bring humor, compassion, and curiosity to our work together and a deep respect for your lived experience. Whether you're untangling old patterns, building healthier relationships, or learning to trust yourself again, I’m here to help you reconnect with your strength and your story. Therapy isn’t about fixing you, it’s about helping you feel more like you. And I’d be honored to be part of that process.

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.

Melissa has over 20 years of experience helping intelligent, high-functioning women navigate anxiety, depression, and repeating relationship patterns — especially when their marriage or closest relationships feel confusing, unsatisfying, or heavy. Many clients arrive exhausted from carrying the emotional weight in their relationships, unsure why they keep finding the same dynamics or blaming themselves. Melissa specializes in relational trauma and emotional regulation, helping clients gain clarity about what’s really driving their distress. Rather than just treating symptoms, she helps you understand and shift long-standing patterns rooted in early family dynamics so you can make steadier, more grounded decisions in life and relationships. Her approach is warm, direct, and insight-oriented. Clients often move from burnout and self-blame toward clearer thinking, steadier emotional responses, and greater confidence in themselves and their relationships. Telehealth sessions are available Tuesday–Friday, and Melissa can typically schedule new clients within one week.

I specialize in working with mothers navigating trauma, anxiety, burnout, and the deep identity shifts that come with parenthood.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with over a decade of experience helping people navigate anxiety, depression, life transitions, and identity questions.

I am a queer, trans, and polyamorous therapist with over 30 years of experience in the mental health field. My journey began in 1992, and since then, I have worked across the clinical spectrum—from high-acuity crisis assessment in emergency departments to specialized non-profits serving the LGBTQIA+ and HIV communities.

As a member of the queer, trans, and poly communities, I offer the ease of lived experience. For my neuro-divergent clients, I offer 30+ years of dedicated, affirming clinical specialization. My goal is to let you stop being "the teacher" so you can finally just be the client.

I have worked in the mental health field since I was 17. Over the years I have grown assisting my clients in many stages of emotional issues, through the use of CBT, Mindfulness, and teaching useful coping skills. I treat ages from 13 to 99.
