LGBTQ+ Affirming Therapists in Canon City, CO
You feel like your emotions control you, not the other way around. Maybe you grew up with parents who dismissed your feelings, made you feel like you were "too much," or left you walking on eggshells. Now, you struggle with guilt, setting boundaries, or trusting yourself. You don’t want to stay stuck in old patterns, but change feels overwhelming. I help adults untangle complicated emotions and family dynamics using trauma-informed DBT. Together, we’ll build the skills to regulate emotions, break unhealthy cycles, and create a life that feels like your own.

CJ Medina, here and you can find me on the GROW, Headway, or BetterHelp Platforms. I am a trauma-informed Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California and Colorado, who has worked with at-risk youth, veterans, and people with disabilities. Though, I primarily work with children, I have worked with adults in many capacities. I would like to have a balance of adults and children in my practice. I can take youth 10 years old and older. Any younger and telehealth is not the medium for me because of the need for direct play. Adults need to access their inner child, too. Bonus: I am a Rodeo Clown. Ask me how?

Hi, I’m John. I’m here to help you feel more like yourself again—less weighed down, more grounded, and more at peace with where you are in life. A lot of us learn ways to cope that made sense at the time but end up getting in the way later. We find ourselves stuck in patterns that don’t reflect who we really are or what we want anymore.
Therapy with me is about slowing down, sorting through the mess, and figuring out what actually works for you. I’m direct, honest, and not afraid to ask tough questions—but I also believe therapy should feel like a conversation, not a lecture.

Hello, dear one, and welcome. I'm so glad you're here.
I help those who feel everything — called "too sensitive" or "too much" by people who never carried what you carry. You're not too much. Your nervous system is doing exactly what it was built to do. Many clients come to me with relentless anxiety, heavy depression, unspoken trauma, or bone-deep exhaustion — some from holding everything together, performing constantly, or leaving systems of belief that no longer fit. You aren't broken — you're responding to what was asked of you. This is a safe, unhurried place to ask the questions you learned not to ask.

Your life looks right from the outside, but it doesn't feel like yours anymore. You can name your patterns and understand where they come from, yet the gap between you and the people you love keeps widening. Insight alone hasn't changed that. You're looking for someone to help you put down the old maps, quiet the noise, and rebuild a life that actually feels like home.

I help adults navigating ADHD, anxiety, trauma, burnout, life transitions, and emotional regulation—especially those who are used to being independent, capable, and “holding it all together,” but are feeling overwhelmed or like they’re not enough.

"I’ve tried to feel better- through therapy, medication, diet changes, exercise, self-help books- and yet something still feels off..." That’s because true healing requires more than treating one symptom or one part. Psychedelic-assisted treatment is not for everyone, but if you have depression, anxiety, addiction, and/or PTSD that has persisted even with repeated treatment with medication and therapy, an integrative approach may be for you. Combining psychedelic treatment with therapy and somatic treatment has been shown to be significantly more effective than medical or therapeutic treatment alone.

LGBTQ+ Therapists
Do LGBTQ-affirmative therapists receive special training?
Yes. Many therapists who practice LGBTQ-affirmative therapy have completed specialized training, either during their degree program or as continuing education, to learn the core principles of affirmative therapy and how to best support their LGBTQ clients; some have received certifications in LGBTQ-affirmative therapy. Prospective clients should inquire as to a clinician’s background and training to ensure a good fit.
Why might I want to see an LGBTQ-affirming or LGBTQ-friendly therapist?
Queer and gender-non-conforming individuals frequently experience bias and marginalization in day-to-day life. Working with a therapist who understands these unique challenges, as well as accepts and affirms their identity, can help LGBTQ clients feel safe and supported during therapy—allowing them to better navigate their relationships, mental health, and anything else that they wish to explore during therapy. It is important to note that many therapists can be effective in their work with LGBTQ+ individuals, even in the absence of specific training or background knowledge. The most important component in therapy is the alliance between therapist and client, and this alliance can exist between individuals with very different backgrounds.
How can I find an LGBTQ-friendly therapist?
You may wish to inquire about a therapist’s expertise with your specific challenges or concerns—depression, for example, or relationship strife—as well as their past experiences treating LGBTQ+ clients. Prospective clients may also ask whether a therapist has obtained additional training and/or certification in LGBTQ-affirmative techniques.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience with LGBTQ issues?
Prospective clients should feel empowered to directly ask therapists whether they have received training or been certified in LGBTQ-affirming therapy; competent therapists will be happy to explain their educational background and preferred approach(es) to help a client find the best match for them. Clients may also wish to ask how a therapist has treated clients with their particular challenges in the past and what they expect treatment to look like.
Are all the therapists listed in the LGBTQ directory themselves members of the LGBTQ community?
While therapists may choose to disclose their sexual orientation or gender identity in their profiles, the LGBTQ directory features not only those who have shared this information but also those who assert specialized training or experience in providing support to queer individuals, couples or families.
