Counseling for Children - Nurturing Hearts, Growing Minds

As a trauma-informed therapist specializing in PTSD, I am committed to creating a safe, supportive, and empowering space for healing. I honor the courage it takes to step into therapy and engage in the inner work. Life’s challenges can leave us feeling anxious, depressed, and uncertain—sometimes even questioning the direction of our lives. I understand how overwhelming and isolating that can be. My approach is to walk alongside you with compassion and curiosity, helping you gain clarity, reconnect with your values, and rediscover a sense of meaning in your life. With a blend of authenticity, life experience, and a sense of humor, I strive to create a welcoming and grounded environment where real change can occur. I focus on helping individuals reconnect with themselves, build emotional resilience, and find clarity and strength in who they are. I bring a culturally inclusive perspective to every session and tailor the therapeutic process to meet each client’s needs and goals. I’m honored and humbled to be part of this work, and I look forward to supporting you on your mental health journey with compassion, insight, and wholehearted care. My training and experience include a Master's of Arts in Clinical Mental Health, over three decades of service in education as a principal and teacher, a Master’s and Bachelor’s in special education, certification as an Emotional Freedom Coach, and certification in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for PTSD, as well as CAMS Certified (Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality). There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle. ~Albert Einstein

I believe that life and mental health are a journey. My job is to walk alongside you on this journey until you feel comfortable navigating life on your own. Therapy is essential for unlocking the best versions of ourselves. I am an LPCC in the state of Colorado, and I look forward to working with you. I have worked in mental health for the past seven years, including roles as a mental health technician in a hospital, answering crisis intervention phone lines, providing in-person crisis intervention, and offering individual clinical mental health therapy. It can be challenging to navigate life's twists and turns alone. Therapy provides a safe space to explore our inner selves, thoughts, and feelings, gaining insights to overcome obstacles and achieve personal growth. As your therapist, my role is to provide unwavering support and guidance as you embark on this journey of self-discovery.

I love empowering my clients and helping them take control of their lives. Although we may share similar experiences, only you know what it's like to be in your shoes, so you get to decide what is best for you. Hi! My name is Clarissa, and I work primarily with adolescents and young adults. I am a native Spanish speaker. Since I was young, I've always known that I wanted to help people, and providing therapy is something that has called to me for a long time. This led me to complete a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and Spanish, as well as a Master's degree in Social Work. I strive to create a safe environment for my clients. This means holding a judgment-free space for my client to speak freely as they try to make sense of themselves and their world. My goal is to help you feel heard and guide you in becoming the best version of yourself.

Once upon a time, a military medic took a moment to listen to the story of a soldier who was suffering somatically from the sheer amount of distress they felt. That medic found her "Ah-ha" and pursued further education within the mental health field with unmatched passion. Your healing is something I aspire to work together with you to achieve. My areas of expertise include working with populations such as children, teens, and parents. I am capable of addressing difficult and complex traumas by utilizing a trauma-informed approach. I strive for every patient encounter to leave you feeling appreciated as a human being and heard. I follow a person-centered approach while integrating other modalities as needed, including play therapy techniques.

I am passionate about helping you live your best life. Maybe you're not even sure what that looks like yet, but you know something about the way you're living isn't right. Let's figure that out and get you on track. I want to help you handle those hurdles so you can enjoy your life and relationships again. My primary clientele is young women ages 15 and up. A Colorado native, I double majored in Psychology and Acting at the University of Colorado in Boulder and obtained my Master's in Counseling from Adams State University. I live in Boulder County with my husband, three dogs, and one cat. I love photography, hiking, home projects, travel, and reading crime dramas! I volunteer with several local dog rescues. *Please note that the intake session you sign up for is the slot you will have available for all future sessions.

Hello! I want my clients to feel empowered by their mental health journey to learn how to love themselves and those around them. I would be honored to walk alongside you! My approach to therapy is "Parts Work" (Gestalt and Internal Family Systems), meaning that I believe we have various parts of ourselves that make up the whole of who we are. Together, we will work collaboratively to identify these parts that may be holding you back from reaching your goals. We will step into a new awareness together and empower you to make the changes you desire. I have experience working with individuals from all walks of life and specialize in multiple mental health conditions. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or any other mental health concern, I am here to provide a safe and non-judgmental space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings. One thing that sets me apart as a therapist is my honest and authentic nature. I truly care about every one of my clients and am committed to helping them grow and thrive. I am ready to join you in your self-discovery and healing journey!

As a therapist, I'm here to help you navigate the challenges that keep you from living the life you want. Through non-judgmental, compassionate conversations and evidence-based techniques, we will explore your struggles and uncover the strengths that can lead to real change. My approach combines humanistic, relational, and psychodynamic methods, all centered on the belief that healing occurs in connection. Together, we will work to understand the patterns in your relationships and within yourself, guiding you toward deeper self-awareness and lasting solutions. Clients often describe me as warm and approachable, yet I’m also committed to providing the gentle push needed to foster true growth. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, uncertainty, or simply feeling stuck in relationships, I’m here to help you find clarity and take meaningful steps forward. In addition to my clinical work, I am passionate about research and am currently pursuing my PhD, focusing on culture shock, reverse culture shock, fluctuations in self-concept, and belonging.

Hi there! I'm Annie, and I am originally from Arizona. I am a 22-year retired Air Force Veteran and a 20-year Coloradan. I am an avid holistic wellness enthusiast. I specialize in chronic illness, autoimmune struggles, unresolved childhood/partner/religious trauma, and the grief that comes with those. I am a mom of two kiddos and an American Akita owner. I love to laugh as we heal. Healing can be fun! Life is often referred to as a book. Two pages are written for everyone; the first is about LIFE, and the last is about death. The center pages are empty. What you write in those pages can be whatever you choose. Even when the book gets dirty, torn, or broken, the blank pages are still there...waiting for you to fill them. Life is full of twists and turns, and how we are fundamentally taught to handle life varies from person to person. We are all so unique. My view of therapy is that of a helpmate. I walk alongside you in your journey toward healing and wholeness. Trauma is written in every single one of our books to some degree. What happens to us can often become a part of our identity. I aim to help you reclaim your true self and walk out of trauma with newfound hope and vision to fill those pages of your story. Let's do this together!
