Preteen Therapists in Wellington, CO

Hi there! My name is Kyreija, and I work together with my clients to build strengths and manage difficulties while remaining open, honest, and encouraging. We all know that life can throw us off course or make us feel unlike ourselves. While we’re all human, our thoughts, emotions, experiences, and personalities are unique. I believe that everyone deserves understanding and support, and that deciding to talk to someone is a brave and meaningful step. Whether you’d like to overcome specific challenges, gain overall support, or just be heard, I want to meet you where you're at, and help.

Is your mind constantly buzzing with thoughts you can’t control? Are you wondering about your gender or sexuality? Are you seeking more peace, clarity, and support? Maybe you're unsure of who you are or are tired of waking up and dreading the day ahead of you. What you're looking for may feel unreachable right now, but the life you want is possible. We are not meant to do hard things alone. Let me walk with you. When you work with me, we create a team that is designed to help you. My goal is always to create a nonjudgemental space where you can explore and be listened to.

***I am unable to accept new clients at this time***Every person is worthy of living a fulfilled and meaningful life. While there are circumstances that can interfere with feeling safe, content, and in control, many of the problems encountered in life can be improved by getting the right kind of support. As a licensed clinical social worker, it has always been my commitment to partner with individuals and families who are both thinking about, but also ready to make change in their lives.

I have spent my career working with adolescents, young children, and their families. I started my career as a high school English teacher, but quickly realized my passion for mental health and helping adolescents manage their mental health in order to learn and engage fully. Inspired by my teaching experience, I pursued a Master's degree in Mental Health Counseling and transitioned from the role of classroom teacher to school counselor. I ultimately decided to leave the school system to follow my heart and work full-time for Kairos Wellness Collective.

Do you feel like no one would stick around if they knew the real you? Does it feel impossible to let go of the past? My passion is working with teens & clients throughout their lifespan who are in the process of self-discovery and healing. If you are questioning your identity, what you are meant to bring to this world and how to move on from your past - I would love to help you find answers to those questions. I work with each individual to develop a course of therapy that suits their unique needs—there is no "one size fits all" therapy. I also care deeply about developing strong helping professionals through clinical supervision.

Do you struggle with constant worry, sadness, stress, and low motivation? Do you ever feel like you are not enough? Do you ever feel stuck in your life or your thoughts? Anxiety and depression can make it challenging to move through day-to-day tasks and can affect our outlooks on life. I work with individuals, children, and families of any age, race, ethnicity, and background.

I believe that people do the best with what they have. Trauma, stress, anxiety and adverse life experiences can, at times, derail us from being our “best”. My role as a therapist is to help you reach your pinnacle. I always work from a strengths-based and client-centered focus. The client is the expert of their own life, but I serve as an agent for change to assist in developing, applying and supporting the therapeutic growth. I have experience with children, teenagers, young adults (up to age 35), couples and families.

Exploring your sexuality or gender identity? Experiencing overwhelm or worry? Wanting deeper and more meaningful relationships? If so, I am here for you. I have experience working with individuals, couples, and families navigating anxiety, depression, gender and sexual identity, confidence, self-love, boundaries, communication, and relationship struggles. Everyone’s lived experience is unique, and I believe that our identity, values, and past experiences can shape who we are and how we respond to therapy. Therefore, I use a contextual lens when working with my clients, and in choosing a therapeutic approach.

For better or for worse, life is full of surprises. It can take a lot out of us emotionally, mentally, and physically. No one understands your life better than you do, and I am here to help you move away from those patterns that have been holding you back. I want to help you take a chance to better yourself, whatever that looks like for you. Working with a therapist is something that takes, and when you are ready to take that chance, it can be beautiful and healing. I would be glad to help you on this journey.
