We all need a safe space to express ourselves, to be seen, heard, and validated without judgment. I am passionate about helping people feel emotionally safe. People come to therapy for different reasons, but I believe they need to be seen, heard, and not judged for how they feel or think. I am dedicated to providing my clients the freedom to be themselves and guiding them in discovering who they aspire to be. I equip my clients with the necessary skills and empower them to choose and explore what works best for their personal lives and personalities to achieve their distinct goals. I have experience with adolescents and adults who struggle with PTSD, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. I apply a mixture of person-centered, psychoeducation, CBT, DBT, strength-based, mindfulness, and psychodynamic therapy. My duty as a therapist is to help increase my clients' self-awareness, create healthier patterns, and gain healthy coping skills that they can utilize daily. I also use humor in sessions! As someone familiar with experiences of abuse, homelessness, depression, and anxiety, I believe that anyone's difficult past can help them discover a better version of themselves for a higher purpose. Things happen for a reason, and people have the power to choose how their life experiences shape their lives moving forward. It will be an honor to walk with you.

Therapy is truly a unique process for each individual. It takes bravery to embark on a journey toward greater mental health. Humans are incredibly resilient, and I enjoy watching my clients experience life-changing transformations. I strive to build a safe and trusting environment where my clients feel supported throughout their healing journey. My goals include building rapport, providing emotional encouragement, offering psychoeducation, engaging in collaborative problem-solving, and utilizing new skills to foster positive long-term change. I desire to see my clients thrive in all areas of their lives and consider it an honor to be part of their healing journey!

The hardest part of the therapeutic process is reaching the door of the therapist. I believe that the work begins at that moment. The relationship you develop with your therapist is essential to feel and know you are "heard." Holding space for people and finding a way to the light of healing is crucial. Change occurs when a person is willing to bring the issue or issues into the light. As a therapist, my goal is to assist you in finding deeper meaning and healing. My position is to help you through the process. I look forward to helping you along the journey of healing.

I have provided therapeutic interventions as an outpatient therapist and crisis counselor for about 7 years. I have worked with people with acute mental health concerns and people with serious and persistent mental health disorders. I have worked with people of diverse backgrounds. In helping clients achieve their mental health goals, I acknowledge and support developing a strong therapeutic relationship with my client to best support my clients in developing awareness and skills needed to achieve the therapeutic goals that you set. I believe in a client-centered approach that focuses on interventions that will work best with each, individual client for the best result.  I understand that people have things that come up in their lives while working on goals and have, and hope to continue to, help my clients learn skills needed to help manage those problems and increase awareness of how they impact my clients' mental health. I will support you in making changes in your mental health when you are ready to begin.

You are embarking on an important journey of growth and healing, and it is my privilege to come alongside you in that journey and ultimately to meet your need with truth, hope, and healing. My counseling orientation is integrative, enabling me, as your therapist, to tailor the counseling interventions to your particular needs. Approaches may include Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Trauma-informed therapy, Biblical Counseling, Narrative therapy, Somatic therapy, IFS, and more. In addition, I am trained and comfortable working with thoughts and feelings of suicide. As holistic beings, all aspects—physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual—contribute to our overall experience of wholeness and wellness. I look forward to joining you in your journey toward wellness.

Hi! I’m Kaitlyn, a Mental Health Counselor here at Overcomers Counseling. I’m passionate about walking alongside my clients, helping them process and overcome hard things so they can live life with joy and compassion for themselves and others. Whether you are seeking counseling for yourself or you’re a parent seeking play therapy or counseling for your child/teen, I would be excited and honored to walk with you. As a counselor, I enjoy journeying with my clients and providing a safe, comfortable, and fun space for them to explore who they are and find the resources and tools needed to navigate life’s challenges and difficult emotions. I obtained my master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Liberty University, and I have experience working with children, teens, and adults. My specialty areas include anxiety, depression, self-esteem, trauma, and life transitions. When working with clients, I use evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, and Internal Family Systems Therapy, while remaining open to whatever approach best fits the needs of my clients. I’m originally from South Louisiana but moved to Colorado during the summer of 2023 with my husband, Adam, and our dog, Honey. I enjoy reading, hiking, biking, and bouldering in my free time. I also love talking and laughing with friends over a good cup of coffee.

I have been working in the field of behavioral health for the past 16 years. I have a Ph.D. in Rehabilitation and extensive experience in providing therapy for adults with a variety of mental health and substance use disorders (i.e. trauma, anxiety, depression, grief/loss, anger management).I have been working in the field of behavioral health for the past 16 years. I have a Ph.D. in Rehabilitation and extensive experience in providing therapy for adults with a variety of mental health and substance use disorders (i.e. trauma, anxiety, depression, grief/loss, anger management). I am also able to effectively utilize Christian/faith-based principles as requested by my clients. I offer you compassion, empathy, and non-judgmental interaction as we work together to find resolutions, develop coping skills, and manage symptoms that will improve your ability to move forward in your daily life.I consider it a privilege to serve clients in this capacity and look forward to meeting with you.

My dedication to helping others was shaped by formative life experiences and has deepened over time through both personal growth and professional development. A pivotal moment in this journey was my service as a medic in the military, which solidified my commitment to supporting others in times of crisis and vulnerability. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of working in a variety of roles within the behavioral health field, each one deepening my understanding of human resilience and further strengthening my commitment to the helping profession. Over the years, I’ve supported individuals across the lifespan as they worked through a wide range of challenges, including trauma, grief, mental health concerns, life transitions, involvement with the legal system, and other impactful stressors. My education and clinical experience have strengthened my therapeutic skills, broadened my perspective, and deepened my empathy—enhancing my ability to effectively support and empower others while fostering my own personal and professional growth. Through this growth, I developed a strong alignment with an Adlerian theoretical orientation, which emphasizes a holistic, goal-oriented approach rooted in social connectedness, personal development, and the belief that every individual has the capacity to realize their full potential. This orientation also integrates evidence-based practices that promote harm reduction and wellness strategies, all aimed at improving overall quality of life. As Alfred Adler observed, “Trust only movement. Life happens at the level of events, not of words.” In therapy, this movement—toward connection, self-awareness, and healing—signals the start of true transformation. I firmly believe that embracing this principle helps individuals recognize their full potential and fosters meaningful change through active engagement, ultimately leading to greater well-being.

Every story holds a sacred significance, intricately woven with the threads of culture, heritage, and personal history.

My therapeutic approach is centered on meeting you where you are in your journey. I employ a person-centered and trauma-informed framework, ensuring that our work together is guided by empathy, understanding, and respect. My goal is to create a safe and supportive space where vulnerability, authenticity, and compassion are not only welcomed but celebrated as essential components of our journey together.

Emotional pain can cast shadows on our lives that break our hearts. We become trapped in feelings of worthlessness, emptiness, and brokenness. We struggle with distorted beliefs that something is irreversibly wrong with us. It's hard to feel not only that we are missing something but also that we are not worthy enough to have that something. This can leave us aching with sorrow. There is good news: you have a true self that is completely whole and knows how to find peace. My mission is to accompany you in your shadows and unlock your inner power to heal. I’ll walk with you to the other side of your pain, where personal growth and healing occur. There is light and hope. I aim to help you step into the life you desire, become aware of how your thoughts shape your world, and guide you in shifting them to reflect the life you’ve always wanted to create. I believe that everyone has a vision for themselves and their lives that they wish to unlock. I want to help you find the key and show you how our lives are stories that we write, pen to paper, each day. I believe that you can transform every moment of your life to become exactly who you've always hoped to be. My experience has shown me that human beings comprise parts that yearn to connect in a healthy way. At times, these parts are in conflict with one another, blocking our path to success. I would like to help you achieve wholeness with all the beautiful parts of yourself. A key component of my approach as a counselor is to bring awareness to how we create our reality. I guide you in shifting maladaptive beliefs to create an empowering story in which you are fully engaged in your experience. I offer a safe space for you to express and understand yourself and heal. I have extensive knowledge of therapeutic tools that I tailor to each individual client to best fit their needs and goals. My main areas of specialization involve working with maladaptive coping skills and unhealthy perceptions of self, others, and the world. Much of my prior clinical experience has been with male offenders in correctional facilities, where I conducted both individual and group counseling. I worked with individuals who struggled with severe mental illness, interpersonal problems, anger management, thought distortions, maladaptive coping skills, and criminal behavior. I taught and guided individuals in using therapeutic tools and techniques to regulate emotions, manage relationship conflict, and ease symptoms of trauma. I am passionate about personal, professional, spiritual, and emotional growth. I believe that we all have the ability to consistently evolve and continue creating the best version of our lives every day. I am always striving to learn the newest and most effective therapeutic techniques to increase my knowledge and expertise, in order to help you as best as I can. I look forward to walking down your path with you and seeing all the places you'll go. It's time to become the hero of your story.
