Therapists in Lafayette, CO

If you're feeling uninspired with your life, tired of living with the same old problems and trying to fix them in the same old ways—without success—you're looking in the right place for help. If you feel timid about seeking a therapist, you're not alone. You are also about to discover that therapy may be the best self-care decision you have ever made. I specialize in helping people deal with major life transitions and heal from the scars of past trauma. I can help you discover what is holding you back. You will be able to change your life, going from a state of depletion and despair to a state of renewed energy and hope.

Are you interested in the soulful exploration of finding meaning and purpose in your life? Would you like to find a deeper sense of connection with yourself and others? What if the struggles in our lives are not to defeat us but to guide us into a deeper place of self-revelation, transformation, and empowerment? I am passionate about supporting individuals in creating a life that the soul longs to live and express in the world. This journey takes hope, courage, and vulnerability, and I would be honored to be the gentle and firm guide to support you to create the life that you desire.

I truly believe that, when open and ready, we have the ability to recognize, acknowledge, and heal from the challenging beliefs and experiences from our past that may be impacting our present. My goal as a therapist is to meet you wherever you are, fully and without judgment, to join you on your journey to a more whole and valued sense of life and self. I aim for our time together to be built on mutual trust and authenticity. I work with clients of all ages and utilize a variety of therapeutic modalities and holistic approaches based on what serves each individual best and aligns with their interests and values.

Are you a sensitive person who feels overwhelmed by the world around you? Do you sometimes feel like your needs are overlooked by others? Do you find yourself experiencing the same problems despite your best efforts to do things differently? I get it. I have been there myself and an important thing to understand is that you are not alone. Many of us have difficulty knowing, or even asking, for what we need. We often suffer from patterns which repeat themselves and are hard to understand. This pain can manifest in the form of depression, anxiety, and relationship challenges, among other things.

However isolated they appear, I hold a strong belief that young adult emotional and behavioral struggles are primarily a reaction to family influences. To fully support this population in reaching their potential, their challenges will need to be looked upon in the context of family, so to identify how such strife continues to be reinforced. This systemic approach to therapy paves the way for greatest insight to be gained by those who really matter, allowing for symptom reduction and ultimately greater relational harmony.

At 2nd Star Counseling, our clinicians Kathryn Raley, NCC, LPC, RPT-S, ACS and Maggie Daggett, MA, LPCC offer individual therapy, adolescent therapy, play therapy, and family therapy.

Are you struggling with the unexpected twists and turns of life? Need a quiet place to talk things over? The fact that you are seeking therapy shows that you want to make a shift in your life. We can work together to figure out what is standing in your way of being your best self. There is tremendous value in being self-aware and knowing what is and is not working in your life. It is often the first step towards feeling better and will help you feel more in control of your path. I look forward to hearing your story and helping you get to a place where you feel more confident and grounded.

WELCOME! I ENJOY WORKING WITH INDIVIDUALS who are motivated to learn about themselves and their relationships~to their partner, family, work, creative endeavors and/or physical health. CLIENTS report that they appreciate my humor, compassion and interactive style. TOGETHER, we explore how specific patterns may be at the root of emotional, interpersonal and/or physical challenges. TO BRIDGE THE GAP that often occurs between insight and transformative change, I draw from my background in the MEDICAL FIELD, as well as from NEURO("BRAIN")SCIENCE, MINDFULNESS PRACTICES and current research regarding the intricate RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL HEALTH.

How you think and feel about money is an important and frequently neglected aspect of our mental health. Our collective avoidance of talking about money leads to unnecessary anxiety, stress, and shame. If you are looking for a way to improve your emotional wellbeing, I’d like you to consider working with a financial therapist. Money is a fact of life, but it does not have to rule your life. We all inherit attitudes towards money from our families of origin. Understanding how you have incorporated these attitudes and how they can be changed to serve you, instead of controlling you, can be a powerful force for positive change.

Are you in need of a mind-body reset? Discover an approach to wellness that helps you thrive. I provide in person therapy, with emotional support dogs in the office.

You'll gain tools to move through periods of unease with purpose. You'll also develop skills and resilience for living in these uncertain times. I am Licensed (LPC), Nationally Certified, trained in EMDR, Splankna Spiritual Energy work, and Trauma Certified.

Whether managing a life transition, addressing a relationship conflict, processing trauma or changing unwanted behavioral patterns, I work to help clients understand the root of the issue, develop tools necessary to meet these challenges, and take steps towards a healthier and more integrated life.

Greetings and thanks for exploring my counseling practice. While the majority of my clients are between the ages of 5 and 15, I also work with older kids and adults on their own issues, parenting practices, stress and anxiety management, and more. Whether you are looking for an empathic ear or concrete coping strategies for yourself or your child, I use a strength-based and person-centered approach to psychotherapy. Please note that I do not accept any insurance payments, but instead accept cash, checks or digital currency (Venmo, e.g.).
