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 an LPCC in Colorado, providing therapy for children, adolescents, and adults. My work is grounded in compassion, steadiness, and a belief in the strong connection between the body, brain, and emotional wellbeing. I approach therapy in a way that feels calm, supportive, and practical, helping clients feel safe enough to slow down and make sense of what they’re experiencing. Before entering clinical counseling, I worked in community children and family agencies, with a focus on attachment-related concerns, family systems, and early relational stress.

I work with: Children who need help expressing emotions and building regulation skills Adolescents navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, school stress, and family conflict Adults facing overwhelm, trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and life transitions Families and parents seeking stronger connection and communication with their children.
My style is warm, steady, and collaborative, with attention to both insight and practical change.
