“I hate school. I have no friends. My parents don’t get me. I’m always in trouble. I can’t do anything right. Life just sucks.” Every morning you put on a mask just to get through your day. No one understands what you are going through, and you feel alone in the world. Maybe you can’t remember the last time you truly felt happy or yourself. Or, something bad happened, and your memories continue to hold you captive. You want to feel better, but you’re scared to let someone into the dark places. Parents, you see your child’s pain and all you want for them is to be happy. You want your care-free kid back.

Are you successful in your life, but feel like there is something that is holding you back from being the person that you want to be? Do you work in a high profile or high pressure job and worry about finding a counselor that can hold your intensity and face the darkness you want to heal from? Are you a member of the queer community who would love a counselor who understands the culture and would be honored to walk beside you? If you answered yes to any of these questions, I would love for you to contact me so we can meet and see if we may be the best fit for the experience that awaits you. I am excited to meet you.

I have been a therapist since 1996, I founded Shining Through Counseling because I think everyone has a story to tell and needs support on their journey to wellness and working through past issues. Everyone's path looks different, and that is what makes us unique. Walking that path can be scary and hard. I am here to support and you and help you to heal, meet your goals and let your true self shine through, bigger and brighter. I do this by building a trusting relationship, and working together to address current and past issues or trauma, processing through them, building and strengthening coping skills and supports.

Healing and growth is not always a linear process. Often, before we can become who we’re meant to be, we first need to unlearn and understand who we’ve been.

By combining elements of clinical therapy and life coaching, Erica offers her clients an extra layer of support and guidance along their journeys.

Welcome! Thanks for checking out my profile. I have to be honest, I really don’t like writing these “therapist intros” because they always sound cheesy but, here is my best effort. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Addiction Counselor in Colorado. I specialize in providing individual counseling services to young adults, adolescents and members of the LGBTQ + communities. I have experience providing services for a variety of concerns including trauma, addiction, and relationships. My approach is person centered and based on the individual. I look forward to meeting you and learning more about your unique story

I view therapy as a place to safely tell your story. Each story is unique and is comprised of its own set of characters and settings. It is my privilege to explore your narrative and to bare witness to the obstacles of the past, the trials of today, and the triumphs of tomorrow. I also hope to join you in your attempt to write each new exciting chapter of your life. Together we can work to create a story that you are proud to call your own!

Hello, and welcome! Are you finding life's challenges pretty overwhelming at times? I've been there, and I understand. I can help you explore those challenges and find the best way for you to address them. Are you at a crossroads in your journey, feeling that there must be more in life for you to experience? I've been helping clients with these and other concerns for over 35 years. I can help with anxiety, depression, gender and sexuality issues, health concerns, and grief and loss. Your sessions with me will be at least a full 60 minutes; I just don't believe in the "50 minute hour!" My education and experience as a registered nurse and psychotherapist allows me to provide you with an integrated and holistic approach to whatever you are experiencing in your life. Our emotions and mental status are always intertwined with our physical health and need to be approached as a whole. I also believe that we are more than our mind/body selves. There are aspects to our lives that cannot be explained by traditional studies, and these need to be acknowledged, too.

Currently offering individual and couple therapy, and assessments in ADHD, intelligence, learning disorder, personality, and trauma. Every next level of your life will demand a different version of you. Couples and families often have the same fight over and over, stuck in a difficult cycle. Individuals often feel lost, wondering how they got so far from their charted course. As a professor specializing in relationships, I am deeply attuned to the challenges of reshaping patterns within yourself, and with others. I collaborate with you to challenge what isn't working, and to build up more of what IS working in your life.

We all go through times of sef-doubt, depression and anxiety. Life change can amplify these. I believe all feelings are valid, because we are feeling them. What we think about them can be harmful or helpful in a situation. Being very present creates calm as we are in the situation as it happens rather than in the past or future thinking about what we did or will do. This practice strengthens relationships as well as offers personal insight and growth. My job as the therapist is to allow my clients a place to explore the space in their heads. I help clients accept and understand their emotions creating new behavior patterns.

NEW CLIENTS ACCEPTED!! No matter where you're at in life, there can be a lot of challenges that increase or cause distress. From having difficulty communicating with family members to struggling with adapting to life's changes. From challenges in developing healthy peer relationships to dealing with conflict within your support group. We are all dealing with so many changes in our lives, it can become overwhelming without someone who can be non-judgmental, unbiased, and able to provide unconditional acceptance to help navigate those changes. Our practice specializes in adolescent/young adults as well as adults!
