Bisexual Therapists in Louisville, CO

If you have come to this site. . . remember to breathe. . . in a way that you know you are breathing. . . I remind myself of this on a regular basis. . . There is more to you than you might think. . . Therapy is an invitation to re-discover a compassionate, curious, and wise energy that was always within you, but blocked by well-intentioned and sometimes extreme parts of you. I believe you deserve some sense of how I work. I also believe a good therapist continues to do their own work. . . which is why I meditate and meet regularly with trusted colleagues and we literally take turns being therapist and client with each other.

Your thoughts are racing-examining what you did, or could have done, wondering if you are over-thinking the situation. You try to pretend everything is okay but deep down there is a nagging feeling that something is off. So you work on doing all of the right things, trying to fix yourself, trying to improve, but the feeling inside doesn't change. You may even over-perform in attempt to prove to yourself and the world that you are worthy. But the feeling lingers. Many of my clients have had similar struggles with anxiety, perfectionism, self-doubt, trauma histories, or difficulty feeling comfortable in relationships.

Are you able to accept yourself as you are right now, while also committing to change? While you may be seeking therapy to get rid of a problem, what if we turn toward that problem, listen to it, and even notice how it is taking care of you? Ironically, this is how problems seem to shift. You may struggle with your capacity to feel present and authentic in your relationships. These struggles may have roots in what you first learned about love and closeness as a little person. In our work you can learn to embrace, understand, and take good care of this early imprint in your adult relationships.

Starting therapy takes courage. It can feel scary, confusing, and messy at times. I am here to make it lighter. To help you find hope and energy to keep going. To hold your pain, to help you find what works in your unique situation, and to empower you in being successful with your goals.

From navigating relationships, careers, identity, politics, culture; adulting is no small task for a person of any age..... let alone navigating overwhelming emotions, eating, sleeping and trauma on top of the energy it takes to get by on a daily basis. Some part of your life maybe feels elusive and takes a lot of extra energy...like being able to stay in relationships, be at peace in your body or satisfied with how you present yourself to the world. Therapy can be a helpful place to sort through all the messages that are unhelpful and get clear on what your real needs are.

Hello! My name is Stephanie, and I am a marriage and family therapist candidate in Colorado. I believe that we each hold a deep knowledge and understanding about what we need to improve our lived experience, and therapy can help uncover that inner knowledge and bring it to the surface. By knowing our inner truth, we can enact meaningful change in our lives.

I specialize in person-centered, humanistic counseling. I believe that the counseling relationship is the biggest predictor for successful outcomes. I hold my clients in the highest regard and create a space to process what may be keeping you stuck so you can gain clarity to move forward. Counseling can soften the sharp edges of the unknown, help provide new perspectives, and turn uncertainty into hope. Create meaningful and intentional change with genuine support and connection. I will lead you back to your values with acceptance and compassion. Find your way through this chapter and build a solid foundation for the next.

I am passionate about people and the diversity inherent in being human. I believe that our connections and collaborations with others can be a tremendous asset to healing.

In witnessing the barriers and potential in you, I facilitate a movement towards being the person that you would like to be. I have expertise in working with Attachment, Developmental Trauma and PTSD, EMDR, Diversity Issues, Depression, Relational Challenges, and Personal Development.

When is enough enough? Life is a constant process of managing work, family, friendships, partnerships, parenting, a household; the list never ends. Every year you might think it's going to be better, less stress, more fun; and then it's back to the same draining routines. If you feel tired of wishing things in your life were different and finding yourself stuck in patterns and relationships that don't feel good, something has to change. Starting now might feel like too much, but, we know there's never the "perfect" time and waiting will set you back another year.
