Find Your Therapist

Hi, I’m Miranda Puente, LSW, a licensed social worker based in Pueblo, Colorado. I offer both in-person and telehealth therapy services. I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and older adults, and I’ve worked extensively with individuals experiencing acute and complex mental health challenges, including schizophrenia, borderline personality disorder, major depression, anxiety, PTSD, and other mood-related concerns.

I use a client-centered and collaborative approach to therapy, drawing from evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I also incorporate trauma-informed, strengths-based, and solution-focused techniques, always tailoring my approach to fit each person’s unique needs and life experiences.

I truly love helping people on their journey toward healing and growth. My goal is to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and respected. I believe therapy works best when it feels genuine and human, and I’m committed to walking alongside you as you build coping skills, reconnect with your strengths, and move toward meaningful change at your own pace.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Creative Arts Therapist (LCAT) with prior experience in both Inpatient and Outpatient Mental Health settings. With a variety of experience, my passion is providing a safe and supportive environment for my clients as they grow. Together, we will take both a collaborative and holistic approach, building a 'helping' relationship based on compassion, empathy, and trust; empowering you to reignite the best version of yourself. I enjoy incorporating aspects of DBT, CBT, mindfulness, and art therapy, along with strategies that consist of a strengths-based and person-centered approach.

I believe therapy should be a place where you can show up exactly as you are. My approach is centered on meeting you where you are, without judgment or pressure, and creating a safe, supportive space where individuals of all ages and families can feel heard, understood, and respected. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and families who may be navigating trauma, grief, life transitions, relationship challenges, anxiety, family stress, or the impact of difficult past experiences. Together, we can explore what is getting in the way, identify your strengths, and develop practical tools that support healing, growth, and lasting change. My therapeutic style is collaborative, strengths-based, and trauma-informed. I draw from approaches such as CBT, EFT, IFS, trauma-focused interventions, and family systems work, tailoring treatment to each client’s unique needs and goals. I also understand that faith and spirituality can be an important part of the healing process. When desired by the client, I am comfortable incorporating Christian faith and spiritual values into therapy in a respectful and clinically appropriate way. My goal is to walk alongside you at a pace that feels manageable, helping you feel supported as you move toward greater stability, connection, and hope.
