Therapists Beginning With S in Colorado
Accepting new clients. Many of my clients are high-functioning adults who appear capable and “together” on the outside, yet feel anxious, overwhelmed, or emotionally exhausted on the inside. They may be carrying the weight of past or current trauma, grief, relational stress, perfectionism, or long-term burnout. Some struggle with overthinking, people-pleasing, difficulty setting boundaries, or feeling disconnected from themselves, others, or their faith. Many are longing for a space to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with what feels meaningful, grounded, and life-giving.

Hello, I'm Lauren. The most important goal I have as a therapist is to offer a space for you to be listened to and feel safe and supported. From this place of comfort, we can begin therapy and move through therapeutic processes, and create goals to work on in our time together. Whether you would like to just talk and share your thoughts, or create specific goals such as anxiety reduction, increasing positive thought patterns and behaviors, improving overall wellness, or identifying specific wellness areas you would like to improve on, this time together is for you.

I specialize in working with first responders and veterans. Many clients say that their loved ones or friends have told them that they just don't seem like themselves, or that they're irritable for no reason, jaded, or burnt out. Maybe you have a history of childhood trauma that's never been addressed, or the work is weighing more heavily than it used to. Maybe you're wondering how you're going to make it another 10 years until retirement. And maybe you don't know what exactly you need, but you know something's not right.

My name is Mariella and I am excited to join you on your therapy journey, wherever you may be at the time. I have experience working with diverse populations, including immigrant, bilingual (English/Spanish), LGBTQIA+, college students (non-traditional and international), adolescents, and families. My approach is eclectic and I adjust it according to my individual client. I have a humanistic and interpersonal approach that can sometimes include writing and other artistic outlets for creativity.

I strive to create a safe and supportive environment for individuals navigating life's challenges. My therapeutic approach is based on Internal Family Systems (IFS) principles, encouraging clients to explore their inner selves to access their core being and harness this energy for genuine healing. I firmly believe in holistically addressing each person's needs—not just treating symptoms—but focusing on achieving harmony for physical, mental, and social well-being. Additionally, I use mindfulness and somatic practices to help clients connect with their bodies and understand their needs for balance and healing.

We all know that therapy is about changing, but changing 'what' is the challenge; and those 'whats' usually involve increasing our awareness. If you're willing to look, we can figure it out.

I support children, teens, and young adults experiencing big emotions, life transitions, anxiety, identity questions, and the stress that comes with growing up. Therapy does not have to be a last resort- sometimes young people simply need a safe, consistent space where they can slow down and feel understood.

Maybe you just need a nudge to be precisely who you are at your highest level. Maybe you're looking for someone to see your magic and remind you of it because you have forgotten. Whether life is going well or you are struggling to be well, therapy could be a helpful and powerful tool in moving forward. Everybody hurts and faces challenges; fear is loud, but it's not the boss of us. With guidance you may be surprised to learn that you have considerably more power than you realize, and that the source of that power is already carried within you.

It’s Wednesday night, and you’re up late again binging Netflix. You have to get up early, but you’re terrified of going to sleep where the nightmares lurk. When you finally doze off, it feels like only moments before your alarm starts to blare. Waking you to face another day, more stressed and exhausted. At the office, an innocent interaction with a coworker triggers memories of your trauma. You become caught in that moment again. Your heart races, palms sweat, and every nerve is on edge, ready to leap into action. You just want to run away. Get in your car, start driving, and never look back. But there’s no way to outrun yourself.

I believe no one is exempt from healing or wholeness. My philosophy is that we can learn the skills needed to engage our courage, cultivate trust, embrace truth, and realize the wholeness inherent within. We do not exist in isolation, and that is a clue to healing. As a therapist I companion your journey, guiding with perceptivity and clinical expertise but ultimately cultivating client self-determination, nurturing the innate guidance within, and honoring the client as the authority over their own personhood. Investing in ourselves and our healing benefits everyone, and that investment comes back to us in unforeseen beautiful ways.
