Trauma Focused Therapists in Timnath, CO

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

Anxiety, depression and self critical thoughts can take the joy from our lives and leave us feeling hopeless and alone. Our relationship with food may be unhealthy and we may feel suicidal or compelled to self harm. We want to move through the world with confidence while living a life of purpose but are overwhelmed and feel stuck. Goals go unmet, and our world becomes smaller as we resist challenges in our social life, school and career, out of fear and discomfort. We want to have more friends, do well in school and have a satisfying job or family life. We want to be happy and fulfilled.

It is my desire as a counselor to help women and children heal from trauma, navigate relationships, and overcome depression, anxiety, and body image issues. My counseling begins from the worldview that we are all deeply cared for by a God whose image we bear, and I seek to demonstrate that care to my clients.

Come, let's sit and chat where you can be heard and seen. "I am sick and tired of being sick and tired." - (Fannie Lou Hamer) ... "I want to feel like I am enough." ... "I don't have any hope." ... "I don't know what to do to feel better." ... These are just a few things I've heard in my career. If this sounds like you, then I'd be happy to walk alongside you in your journey. There are many injustices, microaggressions, and systemic issues that oppress individuals and families, causing anxiety, trauma, and family conflict. Although this can impact your day-to-day life, there is hope and healing available to you.

No after school availability at this time. Hello and welcome! My name is Kristin and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. If you've gotten this far, you have already taken one of the hardest and bravest steps in the therapy process. We all need some form of support at some point in our lives and asking for that support is often the biggest hurdle you will face. I have extensive experience and training in working with trauma through all stages of life but my passion is helping children heal and grow. I am trained in Play Therapy, EMDR, Neurofeedback and sexual abuse treatment and can offer parenting support.

Do you feel overwhelmed, unhappy, or anxious? Are you grieving a significant loss? Maybe you are struggling with food, disordered eating or a negative body image. Are you looking to improve your relationships so you feel more at ease and satisfied in your life? Perhaps you are experiencing health issues that are impacting how you feel about yourself. Life can be difficult and sometimes we need someone outside our circle to listen, understand and support us through these challenges. If you are looking to make a change, I would be honored to assist you along your journey.

Do you use substances to turn off your mind, only to feel ashamed when you sober up? Do you feel numb or disconnected from yourself and the world around you? Have you been struggling with low self-esteem? Do you sometimes question your relationship with food or exercise? Do you often have intrusive or disturbing thoughts? I’m here for you.

Do you feel like you've been operating on survival mode for too long? Are you fatigued, overwhelmed, or perhaps even shell-shocked by some event or situation in your life? Do you carry the imprint of trauma in how to you think, how your body reacts and how you relate to others? Do you dream of a more meaningful, connected and peaceful existence?

Do you need the pain of yesterday to stop interfering with your aliveness and pleasure today? Is there a part of you that's says, "it's too much to look at all the crap I've been though. Just make it go away"? It's so disheartening to try and find a therapist that you actually feel connected to. Feel safe with. Feel seen by. When all the hurts and broken relationships of the past crash against the hopes of your future a therapist that's confronted their own privileged place in this world and healed through their own traumas, addiction, and battles with mental illness can be a saving grace.

Imagine you have had the same problem or behavior recycling through your life for months, perhaps years. This could be anything from managing your emotions, accepting how traumatic events have shaped your life, addiction, conflict, how other people treat you/how you treat others, or simply taking ownership. Imagine your goal is to change the circumstance, flip the script on your life and find lasting change. I want to help people who want to learn why things are the way they are and to embrace new skills and tools to manage their lives. I use a combination of practical experience and research based skills to get you there.
