Health First Colorado Therapists in Northglenn, CO
Have you spent years trying to "be normal" and do what you're supposed to do, only to end up anxious, exhausted, or wondering whose life you're actually living? I work especially well with queer, neurodivergent, creative, and otherwise outside-the-box adults navigating ADHD, relationships (including polyamory/ENM), identity, eating disorders and body image, or major life changes. If you're stuck overthinking, people-pleasing, or trying to separate what you actually want from what you think you "should" want, therapy can help you understand the patterns keeping you stuck and find what actually works for you.

Currently accepting new clients! I’m Leila, a warm, trauma-informed therapist supporting adults, adolescents, and couples navigating ADHD, anxiety, relationship challenges, attachment wounds, body image concerns, trauma, sexual assault recovery, substance use/recovery, and life transitions. Many of my clients feel overwhelmed, emotionally stuck, disconnected from themselves, or caught in painful patterns that no longer serve them.

Life can feel heavy sometimes, you seem to be plodding along just trying to get through it, or worse, waking up filled with dread at what the day ahead will bring. You struggle to find anything to get excited about or look forward to. It could be that something intangible has shifted and you have lost your sense of hope, optimism, and enthusiasm. Or perhaps a transitional event has occurred; you left a job, changed careers, retired, divorced, your kids grew up and moved away, you experienced the loss of someone close to you, received a life altering medical diagnosis, or a caregiving role has consumed your life.

My ideal clients are children, adults, or families who recognize that a mental health challenge, relationship dynamic, or coping pattern is negatively impacting their lives and are open to making meaningful change. You don’t have to have everything figured out—just a willingness to reflect and grow. Many of the people I work with want to better understand themselves, build healthier coping strategies, strengthen relationships, and develop greater self-awareness so they can move toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.

Many of the people I work with are adolescents or adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward. They may be navigating anxiety, adjustment challenges, self-harm behaviors, suicidal thoughts, ODD, or ADD/ADHD, and often struggle with frustration tolerance, negative self-talk, or expressing their needs. Some want a safe space to process experiences, while others seek practical tools to manage emotions and relationships—most want both. Our work focuses on building emotional regulation, strengthening communication, and developing healthier ways to respond to life’s challenges.

I believe that change—though often challenging and uncomfortable—is the one constant in life that brings about true growth. It’s natural to want to avoid discomfort, but leaning into these moments of uncertainty is where transformation begins. I hold the belief that everyone has an innate capacity for change and resilience, no matter what life throws their way.

Waitlist for new clients
Waitlisted therapy: January 2027. Waitlist for eval: Sept 26. I believe that every individual should receive therapy that is centered on one’s own well-being and desire for self-importance. My goal is to help individuals accept and trust themselves as well as to feel valued being themselves. I have worked alongside BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, those within the criminal justice system, and intersecting identities. I have a background in supporting individuals who experience depression, anxiety, traumatic symptoms, and personality disorders. Identity is a key element in understanding the individual and their relationship within wider systems.

Do you need trustworthy support? Do you hope to find balance, process your past/present, or learn ways of coping?
I support individuals, primarily young/middle-aged adults and teens, navigating mood disorders, suicidal ideation, complex trauma, and anxiety/depression. I am especially passionate about supporting individuals from marginalized communities, including Black/African American identities, those involved in the criminal justice system, and neurodivergent populations (Autism/Down Syndrome). I have strong clinical interest in supporting those experiencing self-harm, higher acuity, and personality struggles.

Do you spend too much time thinking about the past? Do you experience so much anxiety that it interferes with your daily life? You're not alone. Many of my clients come to me struggling with trauma and anxiety. Others are frozen by depression. You may feel shame or guilt about what you've been through. I know that feeling can overwhelm you and make it hard just to get out of bed each day. I also know that with the right help, you can feel better. Once my clients are able to make peace with the past, they experience freedom and relief. By processing trauma using brain-body approaches, they can start living again.
