United Healthcare Student Resources Therapists in Colorado

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.

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.

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.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and reside in Texas, I am also licensed in Colorado, Florida, Utah, South Carolina, and Vermont. I specialize in helping you identify and overcome issues that hinder your day-to-day enjoyment of life and/or interfere with progress towards goals you have set. In over thirty years of private practice counseling I have learned to meet clients’ needs not only with continued education and research but also through a multitude of life experiences. I enjoy working with a diverse range of clients and have found that humor when utilized in an appropriate way and time can be very beneficial. I believe trust is a fundamental element in any relationship. This trust has to be developed and nurtured to remain genuine. Through trust other aspects important to the relationship can prosper such as comfort in being open, sincerity, and a willingness to change. I find that humor when utilized in an appropriate way and time can be very beneficial. I am a life-long Texan, however, I have traveled extensively and embraced many different cultures and location specific issues. Through all of life’s changes I have learned that, even with the best of plans, things still do not always work out the way we would like. I have experienced many of the same issues as my clients so can relate to them on a personal basis. This has also allowed me to acquire an understanding of what clients may be going through even if I have not experienced the exact situation. Through any adversity there is no reason to feel alone.

Hi! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Pittsburgh, PA. I am licensed in Pennsylvania, Colorado, and Washington State. I received my Master's in Community Counseling from Regis University in Denver, CO in 2012, and I have been working as a therapist in different capacities since that time. My areas of focus have been LGBTQIA+ clients, older adults, working in crisis assessment, intake assessment, and individual and partners therapy.

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.

Hi, I'm Diane. Congratulations on starting your healing process! It can be a bit frightening to seek therapy. You may be wondering, "Will I like this person? Will they like me? Will they judge me? Do they know what they are doing? And, what if they just don't get me?" All of that is very understandable and normal! The value of therapy is found in connecting with another person who listens, is non-judgmental, compassionate, and knowledgeable about mental health. In the process of therapy, we will talk about your thoughts, feelings, experiences, fears, values, and dreams of what you want to improve and achieve.

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.
