Therapists in Leadville, CO

Life can often present us with challenges that leave us feeling not like ourselves. Many of us seek to deepen connections to feel a sense of peace, wellness, and fulfillment in our lives, but don't know where to begin. I offer a holistic approach to therapy using evidence based practices, somatic/body techniques, mindfulness/meditation, & family systems techniques within an attachment framework. If you are experiencing changes/transitions, have concerns about self-esteem and identity, or experience stress, anxiety, depression or trauma, let's work together to provide you a space to process your experiences and sense of relief.

Dr. Russell supports individuals of all ages. She specializes in working with children, adolescents, and the caregivers who love and support them.

She has worked in school, hospital, outpatient clinic, and research settings.

Your life just isn’t what you expected or going how you want right now—it seems out of your control. You’re doing so much and it’s still not enough—putting on that brave face every day to show up to the grind. You should be more accomplished and feel more fulfilled, but instead, you’re struggling to find your place in the world. It seems like other people don’t get it, and you find yourself in repeated conflict with the ones you care about most. You can imagine how it could be different sometimes, but your self-critic is working on overdrive to stir up doubt and worries about the future. And you’re tired of it... probably exhausted.

In the face of trauma, grief, substance abuse and mental health challenges we can find ourselves weighed down, overwhelmed, hopeless, disconnected and uprooted. My hope in providing therapy support is to walk through those challenges with you and collaborate with you on your journey towards healing, exploration, empowerment, growth and rediscovering your roots.

In all the uncertainty we are facing in the world, reaching out for help may seem difficult. Call me, and we can meet on a video platform! Life is a journey, a process full of transitions and growth. Many times our past experience shape the way we feel, think and act keeping us stuck in the same patterns of behaviors with the same outcomes. Breaking these patterns can be difficult. Through self-exploration we are capable of gaining the self-awareness needed to make changes in our relationships and lives and through skill building we learn ways to implement tools for better choices.

I am currently taking couples and families ONLY! Many people wonder if they've "waited too long" before starting therapy, but as long as you are committed to working on the relationship, progress is very achievable! Whether you are in a new relationship and wanting to be proactive or feel that you have years of built up resentment and negative relationship dynamics behind you, our work together will help you get where you want to be.

I am an empathetic and supportive provider taking an Integrative Approach in my practice. I suggest resources and tools to process between sessions. I work with adolescents and adults via telehealth, in Avon or Eagle.

The therapeutic work is based in authentic interaction, collateral experiences, play, challenge, mentorship, and connection. The potential for healing and growth is inherent within this approach. The outcomes are based in the time and work that are put into the process by both client and counselor with the unwavering support of their communities and the natural world. ​

Hi there, and thank you for taking this leap into starting therapy! I work with teenagers (age 13+) and young adults who need extra support and new skills to manage anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, self-harm, and/or suicidal thoughts. I am also passionate about working with people from LGBTQIA+ and gender-nonconforming/expansive communities. Are you ready to change something, but just don't know how? Let's work together as a team to figure this out and start moving forward!

Life is hard. We can have curve balls thrown at us with no warning. Sometimes asking for some help to navigate those curve balls is the toughest part. I would be honored to support you through this journey. My name is Stephanie and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado. I received my Masters Degree from Adams State University in 2017 and continue to work with the Counselor Education Department on a contract basis. I have also worked within the prison system and am currently at a community behavioral health center focusing on crisis and trauma.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, confused, anxious, sad, alone, lost, irritable, emotionally "stuck" or just plain exhausted? Perhaps you have recent or past trauma and have painful memories that seem to have a hold on you, and prevent you from being able to be fully present in your life. Maybe you are struggling with developing or maintaining healthy relationships, or are feeling like your life is unraveling, unfulfilling or unbalanced, with little to no time to take care of yourself. If you are experiencing any of the above, or are seeking self-growth, self-understanding, healing, or positive change, please reach out to me today.

Does it feel like your emotions rule your life? Does it feel like you are constantly on an emotional rollercoaster that includes frequent anxiety or feelings of hopelessness? Do you desire to gain control over how you feel, think, or act? It's not uncommon to grow up without the skills to regulate your emotions. The good news is, emotions and feelings don't have to dictate your life. You can experience emotional stability, and often times, it just takes learning a new set of skills to be able to do this.
