Therapy for Medicaid Members in Colorado Springs

Hello. I am Chantalle Trujillo-Navarrete, a Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate with over 20 years of experience in Behavioral Healthcare, working with individuals across all stages of life, from early childhood through adulthood. My approach is grounded in the belief that everyone has the capacity for growth and healing when provided with the right tools and support. I utilize a collaborative and client-centered approach, creating a safe and supportive space where individuals can explore their challenges, identify their strengths, and feel empowered to navigate their healing journey. Whether addressing anxiety, trauma, or life transitions, I am committed to helping clients achieve greater balance and well-being.

My passion for helping others was seeded at an early age and has developed with time and experience. Since my service as a medic in the military and throughout various roles over the years in the behavioral health field, my passion has evolved into a calling and has granted me the opportunity to help others all across the lifespan who experience difficult and complex challenges, such as mental health, criminal justice involvement, trauma, grief and loss, adjustment issues, among other life stressors and challenges. My education and experience have sharpened my skills, broadened my understanding, and enhanced my sense of empathy which helped enrich my personal and professional development as a counselor. Through this development, I gravitated to an Adlerian theoretical orientation which centers on goal-oriented and holistic approaches that foster social connectedness and personal growth to help maximize one's ability to find and experience their true potential. This orientation supports evidence-based strategies that strengthen harm reduction and wellness models to improve quality of life. As eloquently stated by Berne Brown: "Vulnerability is the birthplace of love, belonging, joy, courage, empathy, and creativity. It is the source of hope, empathy, accountability, and authenticity. If we want greater clarity in our purpose or deeper and more meaningful spiritual lives, vulnerability is the path."

I believe therapy should feel like a safe space to land—a place where you can show up exactly as you are and feel seen, heard, and supported. Whether you're navigating past trauma, current life stressors, relationship challenges, or anxiety, my goal is to walk alongside you with compassion, curiosity, and care. I’m a Social Work Candidate with a Master of Social Work from Metropolitan State University of Denver and over 11 years of experience in the mental health field. I’ve had the privilege of supporting children, teens, and adults in a variety of settings, and I bring a deep respect for each person’s unique story and strengths. My approach to therapy is holistic, client-centered, and grounded in the belief that healing looks different for everyone. I draw from a range of therapeutic methods—including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, recreational and art-based practices—and I am currently deepening my work in somatic and expressive therapies. Most importantly, I tailor each session to your individual needs, goals, and pace. It’s not always easy to reach out for support, but I truly believe in the transformative power of the therapeutic relationship. If you’re looking for a therapist who will meet you with warmth, authenticity, and a genuine desire to help you grow, I’d be honored to connect with you.

Hello and welcome to your healing journey! My name is Anna, and I am a licensed social worker with 6 years of experience working in the field of mental health. In my practice, I value collaboration, curiosity, and compassion in a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship where healing and growth can flourish. I center my clients’ unique lived experiences, highlight their strengths, and feel it is a privilege to walk alongside you in your healing journey. I wholeheartedly believe that every person holds the capacity within them to forge meaningful pathways towards change and find your calm amid life’s storms. I have worked with individuals of all ages in a variety of settings including hospitals, community-based clinics, and private practice. I have extensive experience working with teenagers and young adults and am well versed in the unique challenges present in these life stages. In addition to my experience as a dedicated mental health therapist, I also have experience with the neuropsychological evaluation process and hold a continued passion for appreciating how our neurochemistry can impact our emotional states and behaviors. In my free time, I enjoy traveling, being active, and spending time outside.

As a therapist, I bring authenticity and humor into our time together. I aim to create a space where you feel comfortable being yourself and opening up to work on your goals. I will strive to name and provide the words that empower you to speak about your experiences and help reduce any shame, guilt, or stigma you may be carrying. Although those emotions are a heavy burden to carry alone, I look forward to sharing the weight and helping you feel more confident and in control moving forward. Therapy is about you, and you are the expert on yourself; I am a guide to help you explore in a validating and supportive space. I utilize person-centered therapy, which focuses on unconditional positive regard. As humans, we make mistakes, and I am here to help you recognize what other factors contributed to your behavior to enable the change you desire. When I am not providing therapy, you can catch me out hiking, going to cultural events, and learning to play the ukulele. I am originally from Alaska but fell in love with the Colorado sunshine and am content to see the mountains a little bit further away. I’m a happy plant mom of 20, and yes, they are all flourishing.

I use an integrative approach to meet my clients where they are, tailoring my methods to honor each unique and individual experience. My goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and supported. I aim to walk alongside you through the uncertainty, challenges, and messiness that life often brings, helping you navigate the twists and turns with clarity and resilience. Together, we can explore and uncover the root of your concerns, identify the barriers that may be holding you back, and develop strategies to move towards inner peace, growth, and happiness. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, grief, relationship struggles, or navigating a major life transition, I am here to support you. Whatever it is that you're carrying, we'll face it together with compassion, curiosity, and care, while working toward a sense of empowerment and healing.
