Teenagers Therapists in Colorado

I am a Colorado 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.

Being rooted in traditionalism, with exposure to the modern, has allowed me to be open to learning about life in new, non-traditional ways.

Through this process I have sought and embraced new paths, which allows me to connect with both young people and adults.

Hi, I'm Jaci, and I am passionate about helping individuals overcome the challenges they face in relationships, personal fulfillment, and self-expression. I specialize in two main areas: working with adolescents who are struggling with ADHD, anxiety, and relationship challenges, and empowering strong, independent women who feel disconnected from their true selves. For adolescents, I understand how difficult it can be to manage ADHD and anxiety, especially when these struggles impact friendships, family dynamics, and daily life. I work with my clients to develop practical coping strategies, improve their self-esteem, and strengthen their relationships with those around them. Together, we explore the challenges they face and create individualized solutions that help them feel understood and capable. I also work with women who feel as though they are wearing a mask—either in their relationships or careers. These women often find themselves caught in patterns that don't align with who they truly are, feeling unfulfilled and stuck. I help these women navigate life transitions, identify their authentic selves, and build deeper, more meaningful relationships—starting with the one they have with themselves. My approach is grounded in building strong, trusting relationships. With years of experience working with adolescents in the criminal justice system, I've developed a deep understanding of how to build rapport and help people feel seen and heard. I believe in a strengths-based approach that empowers my clients to tap into their inherent resilience and potential. Reaching out for therapy can be intimidating, and I want to make this process as easy and comfortable as possible for you. If you're ready to explore your challenges and work toward a more fulfilling life, I’d love to connect with you.

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.

I've been a licensed clinical social worker for 10 years.

I am committed to offering trauma informed care and providing an empathetic, compassionate space where you can be your true self, without criticism.

For those who struggle with decision-regret and anxiety around making the perfect choice, picking a therapist is three steps into the therapy already - if you're here reading this and that's you, I commend you as your therapy has already begun.
