You’ve been trying your hardest in relationships but still feel alone, unsatisfied, or without lasting connections. Or, you may find yourself stuck, not having a clear direction or forward-moving energy in life. Trauma, a difficult childhood, and life's inevitable challenges can create barriers to knowing yourself or to building the life you want. I welcome people of all beliefs and views. Therapy is focused around the change you want to see in yourself. Together, we will identify what gets in the way of your desired change and find more helpful ways of being - with yourself and with others. What was broken can be healed.

Hello and welcome! My name is Lucy Smith, and I am an intern at ReSpark Group. I was born and raised in the South, where the prevailing belief in the 'Bible Belt' was that discussions about sex should be reserved exclusively for one's spouse. This mindset never resonated with me and upon coming to Denver, I realized just how antiquated and harmful this perspective can be. During my undergraduate studies at the University of Denver, I found a space that finally felt comfortable, safe, and empowering within the Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies Department, where I delved into the social construction of gender and sexuality.

Anxiety leaves us feeling hopeless, discouraged, and disconnected from our true selves. You may be fed up with feeling dissatisfied, isolated, and empty. You might not even remember when things didn't feel this way. But one thing is for sure: you are ready for some relief. You are prepared to understand your needs and express them authentically. You are ready to build a life where your words and actions align. Most of all, you are prepared to process your emotions, learn effective coping strategies, and feel empowered.

I now offer Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy. Check out my website for more information. Talking about painful childhood memories doesn't nearly resolve those long lasting wounds. I use non traditional and holistic methods. It is not talk therapy! It is a multimodal approach to help people resolve strong emotional reactions such as Anxiety and Depression. The processing of memories is best done in connection with others. You are not alone. I have been there! This is my number one credential.

I love working with a diversity of populations. My ideal client has some insight into what he/she is struggling with and a willingness to open up about their pain. I understand that trusting a therapist can be frighting, especially for those who have a history of painful relationships. I am client centered and will work at your pace with the understanding that as we build trust I will start to challenge thoughts and behaviors that are keeping you from meeting your goals.

I believe that therapy can make a big difference in people's lives, and I feel privileged that I have the chance to be a part of others’ journeys. I have a passion for supporting people in helping themselves, believing that everyone is deserving of compassion and respect. A few of the populations that I have experience working with are the LGBTQ+ community, people with disabilities, and people who come from a variety of religious and cultural backgrounds. I recognize the importance of factors outside of the therapy room that make us special and unique.

You're carrying more than most people see. You might look like you're holding it all together, but underneath, you're tired—burnt out from managing the weight of it all. You're a woman navigating the complexities of life, faith, and identity, all while wrestling with daily realities of living with Type 1 Diabetes. Maybe you've just been diagnosed and are overwhelmed and scared. You're desperate for someone who gets it...the exhaustion of all the numbers, fighting insurance, the trauma of a body that won’t cooperate. Someone who knows the emotional weight of chronic illness, and the quiet grief of dreams that had to shift.
