Grief Therapists in West Colorado Springs, Colorado Springs, CO

I am a licensed clinical social worker since 2010. I received my masters degree from Newman University in Colorado Springs. My personal difficulties taught me to be compassionate to myself and others. Asking questions instead of telling someone who they are is a tangible tool that leads to listening to our own truth instead of feeling okay only if someone else says we are. It can be difficult work, and the rewards are tremendous as we unwind the trauma to see the gifts hidden by the hurts. The journey from trauma to trust is a leap of faith. This is why I identify with the Phoenix as a way to come thru the ashes and move forward.

At Resolution Counseling, it is my goal to help produce meaningful, long lasting changes instead of short term fixes. I am here to help you identify your own strengths and teach you how and when to utilize those strengths on your own healing journey. You will hear some things during therapy that make you feel better and some that may be painful. Addressing and facing the problem is the best way to overcome it. I believe in treating the whole person - Mind - Body - Spirit. Awareness of the interaction between mind, body and spirit encourages true healing and real growth.

I am an experienced Art Therapist, artist, wife and mother. I experienced that loss of my oldest son at birth due to HELLP Syndrome in 2003. I understand this type of grief both personally and professionally. I also understand the issues that arise when you also struggle with fertility issues following a loss. Becoming pregnant in the midst of these issues requires a mindfulness practice to stay in the present while paying attention to the past and being hopeful for the future. I work from a creative arts-based practice that focuses on your strengths.

Because of the hurt I have experienced in my life I have become passionate about sitting with people as they sift through the darkest parts of themselves. I received my Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Colorado Christian University and have received formal training in Eye Movement Desensitization/Reprocessing (EMDR) and Motivational Interviewing. I balance kindness and directness as a therapist, while incorporating my sense of humor into the relationship. I primarily work with adolescents and adults, and work with a myriad of struggles including grief, trauma, addiction, and attachment issues.

Struggling with depression and anxiety? Have a child or parent that you are the caregiver to? Are you supporting a loved one with a developmental or intellectual disability? Are you a military family or soldier? Are you dealing with medical complexities or trauma? Grieving the loss of a loved one? I can help!

I provide culturally-aware counseling that honors the unique identities of my clients. Through a humanistic approach, I support clients who struggle with anxiety, physical (somatic) symptoms of mental health, emotional awareness and repression, self-acceptance, loss of significant relationships, and developmental trauma such as abuse or neglect experienced in childhood. I am LGBTQIA+ affirming and also work with clients who have experienced spiritual and religious trauma/adverse experiences. My values of authenticity and creativity guide clients to connect more deeply with themselves and others.

Feeling out of control, lost, or hopeless? Working with a therapist can empower you to take back your sense of security and well-being for yourself, your relationship, or your family. I'm honored for the opportunity to walk along side you as you navigate these challenges and strive for growth. I'll use my knowledge, experience, and therapeutic interventions to guide you through this chapter of life. Together we will develop a plan to help you achieve relief and healing.

I am a licensed psychologist who specializes in existential psychotherapy. I strive to listen deeply to your thoughts and emotions so that I can identify points of conflict and develop solutions. I provide psychotherapy for a variety of psychological conditions including depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, sexuality, and divorce. In addition, I provide existential psychotherapy for life-transitions, personal growth, relationship issues, and athletic performance. I value all dimensions of human diversity and I am an ally to the LGBT community. I work with adults and teens. I enjoy working with individuals from rural communities.

Currently accepting clients only for Ketamine Assisted Therapy. Is your inner critic working overtime? Are you feeling down or anxious and like you aren't living life to your full potential? Maybe you are stuck in repeated conflict with your partner, wondering where the intimacy, joy, and love went. Perhaps your family is struggling with communication, distance, loss or change. I know that being human can be messy, painful, and confusing and draw from my 17 years of experience to help families, couples, and individuals navigate struggles to live more fulfilling lives.

Maybe a relationship doesn't feel right anymore. Or you've lost someone close to you. Perhaps you're torn about making a decision. Whatever you're facing, it may seem as if you'll never feel right again. It may seem as if no one understands who you are anymore, including you.

My desire is to provide a place that is set aside and safe as people journey into the deep places of their hearts and to companion with them into these sacred spaces. I consider it an honor and privilege to get to bear witness as people step into their stories and discover their belovedness.

We are going to dig in deeper to foster healing. I will support and provide safety and comfort while undoing aloneness. Anxiety and/ or depression can feel exhausting and together, we'll explore core self and compassion to ease any discomfort. We are not our adverse experiences, we can re-wire. I will guide dealing with and healing attachment trauma, PTSD, and various abuses with kind, respectful and non-judgmental treatment. Through co-regulation of body awareness and experiencing inner core truths we'll foster healing "attunement!" I believe in your inner wisdom for transformation.

I am a licensed professional counselor with a masters in counseling psychology. I have been working with individuals of all ages for 25 years. I believe that everyone deserves to feel good about themselves and live a life of meaning and purpose. I will spend time listening to you and will learn what is important to you. I will work with you to help you create the life that you want to live. You will learn how the relationships and choices you make influence your ability to live a life that fulfills you. We will create a trusting, authentic working relationship that will allow you to discuss all of the factors holding you back.

I welcome you. I also welcome the messy, sad, confused, anxious feelings that may have overwhelmed you in daily life. I offer a safe, open-hearted space where we work together to increase feelings of contentment and connection. Using evidenced-based interventions and empathic listening, I specialize in working with people who want to transform and resolve trauma and stress-related symptoms. Change is not a straight line; it requires support and practical tools. Building awareness, healthy coping skills, and distress tolerance makes it possible to get through the hard times with self-acceptance and compassion.

A recent client told me “It's so validating and refreshing to be able to do therapy in a way that actually works for me after spending so many years in cognitive behavioral modalities that did very little for my trauma.” So many clients share the feeling of “undoing aloneness” in our sessions. This undoing of aloneness has helped clients reconcile and unburden themselves of trauma as well as feel thankful for being able to learn how to listen to their heart and their heart’s certainty of their worthiness. Our relationship has helped them to create a healing and grounding relationship with themselves...listening to their hearts.

Telehealth ONLY- Now accepting clients and most insurance). Are you tired of your past creating your present? Done with anxiety and panic attacks and avoiding all people and things that "trigger" you. Feeling better is not as easy as just changing how you think- if it was we would not get stuck like we do. Myb work with individuals takes time and is all client-driven- there is no push to work on any one topic. I have found that comfortable conversation and creating a strong and safe relationship at the beginning of treatment leads to some of the best and most successful therapeutic work.
