Therapists in Colorado Springs, CO

I provide Sex Therapy and Coaching. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, AASECT certified sex therapist, and AASECT supervisor. I have had the honor of being a therapist for 26+ years. I work with adults to help solve personal, sexual, and relationship issues. I provide both brief counseling and ongoing psychotherapy as well as coaching. I run sexuality and spirituality workshops locally and nationally. We will discuss and evaluate your most personal dilemmas and you will receive my compassionate expertise. I do not accept any insurance.

You have the right to take charge of your life! Have you struggled with a loss of direction in life, issues with intimacy in your relationship(s), feeling down, on edge all of the time, or struggling with your identity? Let's work together to find individualized solutions to your concerns! I offer warmth, fresh perspective, nonjudgmental listening, and empathy while providing direction and obtainable goals. My niche is working with individuals on identity/growth, relationships (to include ethical non-monogamy), sexual concerns, life adjustments, and kink/bdsm. I also have experience working with grief, mood regulation, and more.

Connecting with clients on a deep level is absolutely vital as a therapist. I take pride in getting to know YOU personally, and tend to take more of a coaching role throughout therapy. Our sessions together are all about your journey, no issue is too big or small. My specialty and first therapeutic love is working with couples. I believe that all couples have the ability to get back to the honeymoon phase--and stay there. I also LOVE working with couples in the pre-marital/pre-engagement phase. I consider it an honor to give engaged couples a safe place to work through the kinks before embarking on their great journey together!

I love to help families, couples, and individuals as they navigate conflict, communication difficulties, anxiety, and life-transitions. I have personal experience with inter-cultural relationships and military families. I recognize that we are the product of many influences including the families and cultures we come from, relationships we choose to enter, circumstances and choices we make, etc. When you begin to understand where you come from and who you are, it helps you move in the direction you want to go. It’s my pleasure to walk beside you on your journey as you move toward healing, wholeness, and happiness.

Feeling down, anxious, or stuck? I specialize in treating anxiety and depression using compassionate, evidence-based treatments (IFS and EMDR). We will work together to decrease symptoms of anxiety or depression, move forward from stuck feelings or traumatic memories, improve relationships, and increase self-compassion. Ultimately we will rediscover your core self — who you really are when anxiety and depression take a backseat.

I have enjoyed working in Colorado Springs as a therapist for the past 20+ years with both individuals and group counseling. We all experience emotional pain, physical pain or a combination of the two at different times in our lives. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to establish a collaborative effort with my clients to modify beliefs, assumptions and behaviors with the goal of solving emotional and behavioral problems. This approach is helpful for children, adolescents and adults. It is used to treat (but not limited to) depression, anxiety, stress related disorders and symptoms related to trauma.

Tired of struggling and feeling like something just isn't right? Let me help. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family therapist who loves working with people of all ages and cultures. I have experience in counseling individuals, couples, families and groups. I have facilitated both adult and teen anger management groups as well as a parenting group. I am fully trained in EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy) for couples and working on my certification for this.

'We do what we want' is a primary premise in the approach Karen takes to counseling, and a clear reflection and understanding of what that means to each client, is where she will begin. Karen's counseling style is based in Reality Therapy; our choices are powerful. She will help her clients to take stock of where he or she is, where they truly desire to be, and help search her client's soul to determine what he or she is willing to do to achieve success as they define it.

We humans are programmed for love and attachment. When our relationships with our partners, children, or others are in conflict or crisis, it can have negative effects on all pieces of our lives. I believe in the power of strong families and will work with you to strengthen your marriage or help you build positive attachments to your children. I'd be honored to help you build a more rewarding and fulfilling family. I'd also love to work individually on personal issues. Self-growth and healthy relationships often lead to happier lives and I am here to help you reach YOUR goals!

We are constantly bombarded with messages telling us that we need to do it all on our own. I have good news- you are not alone and you don't have to do it on your own! We all have a deep desire to be fully known and fully loved. It is my belief that we can't be fully known and loved by others until we fully know and love ourselves. Having a strong sense of identity and purpose allows us to heal, forgive, and move forward with clarity, hope, and tenacity.

My work is grounded in the belief that the human spirit has the innate ability to heal if offered compassion, empathy, and support. Creating an environment where you feel safe and comfortable enough to be open and vulnerable is of utmost importance to me. Building trust and establishing rapport will be done over time, through intentional question-asking and validation. I use a multi-modal approach and pull from attachment theory, trauma-informed care, and somatic techniques in my work with clients. Utilizing EMDR to reprocess negative thoughts about self into positive thoughts is a powerful intervention I love using with clients.

Welcome! I'm so glad you're investing in your own growth. I want you to know one thing: you have value. As a counselor, my heart is dedicated to showing people they are worthy of care and attention. Whether you are working through trauma, a problematic diagnosis, making some difficult decisions, walking through grief and loss, experiencing anxiety, depression, conflict, or experiencing problems in relationships, if you're needing some guidance to recover from a former abortion, process shame, thrive after failure, or strengthen your personal boundaries, you are important.

Relationships are necessary and influential parts of every person’s life. Healthy interpersonal relationships are fulfilling and life-enhancing. However, every relationship is bound to encounter problems. My understanding of the importance of relationships spurs my passion for working with couples, families, and individuals who are experiencing relational struggles.

Life has many ups and downs. Some are more challenging than others. Gaining a sense of what is happening, realizing you are not alone, and recognizing that present circumstances don't define your future will lead to positive change.

Dare to dream and expand your vision of what is possible.
