Hi there, I'm Lucy! Are you queer, neurodivergent, kinky, or poly and tired of having your therapist not get you? I want to welcome you as you are. I have helped countless clients reclaim their sexual connection & feel more secure. Secure attachment is the foundation needed to experience passion with a foundation of safety. I work with all relationship constellations. My goal is to help you step more fully into a strong foundation both in your relationship and various intersecting identities. Another specialization of mine is gender and love working with people as they step into affirmation both in relationship and in their lives.

Relationships are complicated and even the best relationships go through rough patches now and again. You may be fighting more with your partner these days, and sometimes it feels like you just get into the same argument over and over again. It can feel scary, tiring and frustrating to go from feeling connected and understood to feeling lonely in your relationship. If you are like most people you might often feel unappreciated and criticized by your partner which can feel overwhelming to try to fix.

I approach each client with a genuine investment in uncovering his or her unique qualities, strengths, and passions in order to strengthen their sense of autonomy and feelings of positive self-worth. I believe strongly in the tenets of equality, non-judgment, flexibility, and safety within the therapeutic relationship, and my primary aim is to provide an environment in which self-acceptance can be cultivated and personal growth can be nurtured. Treatment will always be a collaborative effort to discover the essential insights necessary for lasting change while simultaneously learning how to treat yourself with more leniency and personal grace.

I enjoy working with a variety of populations including children 4-11 years old, parents, clients with significant trauma, and families dealing with serious medical or terminal illnesses. I also love to treat perinatal populations and work with families going through pregnancy or postpartum stages of life. I am deeply committed to helping those who are facing traumas of all types and am especially adept at navigating the difficult process of grief, loss, and end-of-life challenges.

If you're experiencing depressed mood, anger, anxiety, stress overload, grief, or life transitions, talking to a qualified therapist can help. In a confidential setting, defining your goals and recognizing what it is that you value most will bring clarity to how you want to show up in your life and in the lives of those you cherish.

I take a holistic and contextual approach to therapy. I want to know your sources of pain - but I also want to know what you value, what has shaped you, where you draw inspiration, your beliefs, and how you feel in your own body. We’ll peel back layers, we'll process distress, and we'll build practical tools to manage the challenges you're facing. Ultimately, we’ll build a more authentic, empowered sense of self. If something is no longer serving you, let’s figure out how to change it. My areas of focus include sexuality, sex, identity, anxiety, depression, relationships, and life-transitions.

I am an easy-going person who uses a lot of humor in session. I have a big dog in my office most of the time, who is a trained and certified therapy dog. My ideal client is someone who is motivated to improve their life and is in it for the long haul. A lot of my clients are struggling to figure out who they are or why they're struggling so much and I encourage people to give themselves permission to not have it all figured out. I try my best to make therapy enjoyable but don't get me wrong; you will definitely grow in the process. I have a team of therapists in my practice so regardless of what you're looking for we've got you.

For thirty years I have counseled adolescents and adults. I firmly believe that our capacity for creativity and joy depends on connecting well in our important relationships.

Thank you for considering me as your therapist! My name is LaToya I hold a PhD in social work and I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) licensed in Colorado and Texas. Throughout my career, I have had the pleasure of assisting my clients to address anxiety, attachment concerns, depression, diversity, grief, LGBTQIA support, loss, personal improvements, and transitional concerns. My concentration is mental health and have the ability to diagnose and assess mental health conditions. I have direct experience working with the military, couples, and mental health crises.

I have a long-standing interest in how our past echoes forward into our present. It is evident how critical early development is in terms of our moods, relationships, and distinctive personalities. I have developed tools for working with people to untangle the past from present so that there is more room for transformation in the future.

Did you experience abuse a child? Did your parents hit you, yell at you , call you names, or neglect to take care of you? I specialize in helping adults like you recover from childhood trauma that happened early in life. People often seek my help because as an adult they're struggling with relationships, they can't control their emotions, and they want to feel more self confident. I help adult men and women find peace and discover self confidence by resolving the trauma that's holding you back from growing. Many of the people I've helped didn't realize how much their childhood experiences had an effect on their life as an adult.

I have been a therapist for 23 years, so I have had thousands of conversations with clients and extensive advanced training. I know change can be challenging so I try to make the process as efficient and painless as possible. I am motivated to help you meet YOUR goals. I always offer you the insights gained from my years of experience as well as my knowledge about what helps us lead a good life. I am practical and down-to-earth in my approach. Relationship skills can be learned, and you can feel better about yourself + your partner when you are relating with love, consideration, kindness, and passion.

Creating a safe environment is where I begin. I see therapy as a collaborative process that can lead you toward a greater capacity for self-awareness, trust, clarity, a sense of meaning and freedom. Life gives us surprising obstacles, which can make us feel stuck, depressed, alone or scared. With therapeutic presence, creativity and guidance, we can change our relationship to obstacles and transform. Our darkest point may mark the moment we realize we want to change. I use yoga and creative writing in my practice, and have training in mindfulness/somatic approaches, gestalt therapy, family systems, DBT, & depth psychology.

I am so glad you have taken the first step towards a better you! I look forward to connecting with you and helping you improve your life and relationships through a collaborative, supportive process of exploring the connections between your thoughts, feelings, and actions. I utilize solution focused therapy where we envision what you want your life to look like and identify the old habits and feelings that are blocking you from achieving your desired life.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over 15 years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families. I have specialized expertise in anxiety and family systems. My clinical work is grounded in evidenced-based treatment approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure with Response Prevention, Parent Management Training, and Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT). During care, I give ample attention to the family system as I have found understanding the context in which one lives provides insight for how to optimize symptom reduction and enhance overall functioning.

Therapy. Coaching. Psychedelic Integration---- I am a licensed psychologist and faculty member at the University of Denver. During my years of clinical experience, I came to realize that traditional models of therapy were less efficient than I or my clients wanted them to be. I became focused on finding methods of collaborating with clients to help them quickly recognize  their patterns, make sense of the pattern's origins, and re-write the stories that maintain them. The most important part in this process is working together to identify where you want to shift your way of being to create a life of joy, fulfillment and purpose.

Our lives have gotten really complicated and busy. Sometimes we are put into situations that we just don't have enough information to handle well. There is no manual for being human. There is no one right way of doing things. Coming to therapy is simply seeking feedback, support, and a different perspective from someone who is educated and trained on human behavior and relationships and who can help you find the answers and strategies to live bravely through life's struggles. I see clients from the ages of 5 and up. I work with children, adolescents, teens, and adults. I see individuals and couples.

I am a licensed psychologist dedicated to working with people going through challenging times in their lives. I am specialized in eating and body image concerns, depression, anxiety, relationships, and life changes. I center my work around each individual’s unique attributes, and I focus on helping people utilize their inherent self-worth, personal strengths, and individual goals. Using this approach, I help navigate the gap between who we know we are and what others expect of us.  I use my warmth and gentle humor to help my clients feel at ease and dig into the work of living their fullest lives.
