College can be overwhelming, especially when complicated family dynamics add stress to academic life. Many students carry the weight of unresolved family trauma into the classroom, friendships, and leadership roles, leaving them anxious, isolated, or burned out. In Colorado, we support students at CU Boulder, Colorado State, University of Denver, Colorado College, and other campuses big and small. Our ideal clients want more than survival; they want to thrive academically, feel a sense of belonging, and heal in a space where their story is seen through a trauma-informed lens.

I am, first and foremost, a highly trained Therapist. For over thirty years I have worked with couples, individuals, and families helping put an anchor back into their lives. As a Marriage and Family Therapist who is licensed in both Colorado and California, I have two Masters degrees: a Masters of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy and a Masters of Divinity (a three-year ministerial academic training) both earned from Fuller Seminary in Pasadena, California that has been coined “The Princeton of the West”. I use a "systems" approach to marriage and family therapy which means I view each person as part of a whole.

If a problem is relational, it was learned. Unhealed patterns don’t only affect you—they show up in every relationship you’re in. I do relationship, moral injury, and trauma work, including EMDR and couples therapy. I don’t do surface fixes; we change the cycle. People come to me when trust is hard or their story feels like too much. Individuals and couples come when the way they think, feel, or relate no longer matches who they know themselves to be. If faith shapes how you make meaning, we’ll include it.

Hello! My name is RuthAnn and I am a licensed clinical psychologist who believes there are many ways to “do therapy” well. Therapy can be brief and educational; therapy can be ongoing and more relational; or therapy can be intermittent with “episodes of care” here and there as needed. I have seen all these approaches work over the years. Therapy should be tailored. By taking an integrated biopsychosocial-spiritual approach to health and well-being, my goal is to collaborate with you as we figure out what is going on, and what will be most helpful next. Together we will help you take good care of you.

Why is it important for a therapist to be culturally sensitive?
Therapists and clients don’t need to share the same belief system or background to be able to work effectively together, but a therapist whose training includes a focus on cultural competence may be better able to form a therapeutic bond with individuals from a range of backgrounds, as they will have experience in tailoring their approach to each client—and will be prepared to acknowledge and consider the effects of culture, religion, and other factors on each individual.
Why is it important to find a therapist sensitive to Christian values?
Each person brings a unique history and background to therapy, making it important to find a licensed therapist who is trained in a broad range of treatment modalities. In addition, for people who grow up in a faith tradition that strongly influences the way they conduct their everyday life, finding a therapist who understands or shares that background can ease the disclosure of sensitive information and facilitate the therapeutic process. For some clients, a Christian therapist is likely to incorporate faith-based principles into emotional healing techniques.
How do I recognize an effective Christian therapist?
Christian therapists are licensed mental health professionals—holding a master’s or doctoral degree in medicine, nursing, psychology, counseling, social work, or marriage and family therapy—who are also familiar with Christian beliefs and values. They have an understanding of the importance that Christian principles play in the lives of individuals and families, which allows them to be especially sensitive to the kinds of struggles that can affect daily functioning. Like all effective therapists, a Christian therapist will have undergone training and certification in a variety of treatment modalities that help people through crises and enable them to master the challenges of life.
Why might someone feel comfortable with a Christian therapist?
While training, qualifications, and experience are always important, research has long established that a strong alliance between client and therapist is a major contributor to therapeutic success. An alliance is likely to be strengthened with a therapist who not only is responsive to questions and concerns but also shares a client’s faith and values. Sensitivity to spiritual matters as well as to everyday struggles can provide a welcome sense of safety and contribute to the bond between client and therapist, both of which support the therapeutic process.
Who is included in Psychology Today’s directory of Christian therapists?
The directory of Christian therapists includes professionals who have shared their background in their profiles. However, not all therapists choose to disclose this information, and they may not appear in search results for this reason. The directory also shows therapists who indicate that they have extensive experience working with Christian clients, regardless of their own background or religious affiliation.
