I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Creative Arts Therapist (LCAT) with prior experience in both Inpatient and Outpatient Mental Health settings. With a variety of experience, my passion is providing a safe and supportive environment for my clients as they grow. Together, we will take both a collaborative and holistic approach, building a 'helping' relationship based on compassion, empathy, and trust; empowering you to reignite the best version of yourself. I enjoy incorporating aspects of DBT, CBT, mindfulness, and art therapy, along with strategies that consist of a strengths-based and person-centered approach.

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.
