Find Your Counselor

Hi! I’m Richard, a counselor here in Colorado, and I'm genuinely excited for the opportunity to meet you! I believe that everyone is unique, with their own distinct life experiences and personal strengths. That's why my approach to therapy is all about building on the skills you've already developed and discovering new ones together; after all, who knows us better than ourselves? I love working collaboratively with each client to find the very best ways to support you on your journey, because I know that no therapy is one-size-fits-all. My goal is to provide you with a collaborative space full of curiosity to help you explore whatever issues are confronting you.

My name is Rahel, and I hold an LPCC license in the state of Colorado. I work with clients of all ages and backgrounds, providing caring and effective therapy services. I am committed to helping people improve their mental health and well-being because everyone deserves good mental health care. In therapy, I employ a client-centered approach, tailoring my methods to meet each person's unique needs. My goal is to create a safe and supportive environment where clients can freely explore their thoughts and feelings. I believe in collaborating with clients to create personalized treatment plans that foster growth and healing. By employing proven practices and a warm, empathetic approach, I assist individuals in making positive changes in their lives.

I'm a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner passionate about providing quality, evidence-based mental health care to adults, adolescents, and children ages six and older. I believe in empowering clients by providing mindful care and helping each person achieve their highest level of functioning, stability, and well-being. I bring over 20 years of experience in healthcare to Overcomers Counseling. I provide compassionate care, brief psychotherapy, and medication management to clients with a wide range of mental health concerns, including anxiety disorders, mood disorders, psychotic disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and ADD/ADHD. Please note I do not prescribe daily benzodiazepines (clonazepam, alprazolam, valium, etc.) or hypnotic sleep aids. I am not able to complete disability paperwork for clients that I have known for less than six months.

I'm a licensed professional counselor who specializes in trauma/PTSD, depression, bipolar disorder, BPD, anxiety, and ADHD. Modalities I use include DBT, CBT, ACT, MI, IFS, EMDR, and narrative therapy. I love helping clients realize how resilient they are. I will meet you where you are and focus on the goals you identify—no judgment, no pushing you in a direction you don't feel comfortable with. You are the expert on yourself, and I am simply a guide to help you on your journey. I use a variety of therapeutic modalities in an eclectic style, adapting my approach based on what works best for you.

I believe that healing happens in a safe, compassionate space where your story is heard without judgment. As a therapist, I see you as the expert of your own experience — my role is not to ‘fix you,’ but to walk alongside you, offering tools, perspective, and encouragement as you navigate life’s challenges. I work with individuals who are moving through trauma, anxiety, major life transitions, questions of self-identity, and the impact of societal pressures. My practice is rooted in respect for each person’s unique journey, and I am proudly LGBTQIA+ affirming. In our work together, I often draw on Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), a powerful approach that helps people process and heal from distressing memories without having to re-live every detail. I also integrate other evidence-based methods tailored to your needs, always keeping our sessions collaborative and client-centered. If you’re ready to explore, heal, and grow at your own pace, I’m here to offer a safe space where you can feel supported and truly seen.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Licensed Creative Arts Therapist (LCAT), and 200 hr Yoga Instructor (YTT) who is passionate about providing a safe and supportive environment for my clients as they grow. I take both a collaborative and holistic approach, building a 'helping' relationship based on compassion, empathy, and trust; empowering those I work with to cultivate the best version of themselves. I enjoy incorporating aspects of mindfulness (DBT) and art therapy, along with strategies that consist of a strengths-based and person-centered approach.

One of the strongest predictors of success in therapy is the connection you share with your therapist, so finding the best fit is an important first step! I believe in the "therapeutic relationship," developing a relationship of trust and respect. We will work together to find the approach that best fits you—your needs, goals, and unique situation. My focus is to provide a safe place to be heard, understood, and supported. No matter where you are on your journey, I will meet you there, and together we will maximize your potential and develop a greater appreciation for yourself and your ability to reach your goals. Long-term change is a process. You possess within you all the skills and tools necessary for change. I assist you in discovering and learning how to utilize those tools in the most effective ways. I look forward to helping you find answers, direction, healing, and wellness.

My ideal client is ready to explore the depths of their emotions, even if it feels intimidating or uncertain. You don't have to have it all figured out. Whether you're moving at your own pace or taking things step by step, I'm here to walk alongside you. I believe that true courage isn't the absence of fear; it's acknowledging all those tough feelings like anxiety, insecurity, and doubt, and still moving forward with them. Together, we'll embrace the complexities and find beauty in the journey. I strive to create a relaxed, down-to-earth atmosphere, and I like to use humor when it feels right. Therapy with me isn't about being scrutinized or treated like a project; this is about two people working together to build a safe and supportive environment. We'll approach your healing as a partnership, and I'll be here to help you go as deep as you feel ready to. It's about both of us showing up with openness and courage to do the work that truly matters to you.

I believe every individual has the capacity to define who they are and who they want to become, regardless of their past. My job is to help you reconnect, redefine, and re-imagine who you are by discovering what matters most to you. My primary goal as a counselor is to create a space for every individual to explore their lives and find opportunities to grow and create the change they want to see. I take a holistic approach to the counseling experience by exploring nutrition and physical activity with a unique therapeutic approach that combines CBT, Existentialism, Shadow Work, and Dream Analysis. My mission is to help you gain control over Stress and Anxiety, understand and transform past Trauma, navigate Life Transitions, and explore faith-based and spiritual concerns by re-establishing broken or lost connections with who you are, and what is most important to you.

We all need support—someone to listen to us with an open and nonjudgmental mind, someone to help us reorganize our thoughts when we are confused, undecided, or overwhelmed, and someone to cheer us on when we struggle without pushing us faster than we are ready to go. My goal is to provide you with the comfort necessary for introspection and healing and to search with you for any tools that may enrich your journey of self-discovery and fulfillment. As difficult as it is to take that first step into a counselor's office, I believe that seeking help when in need is the greatest act of love we can gift ourselves, as well as the clearest sign of strength and maturity. So, although the day we first meet will mark the beginning of our journey, it will not be the beginning of yours: you are already well on your way! I look forward to walking alongside you, wherever your path may lead.
