Female Therapists in Fort Collins, CO

Do you find yourself trying to make everyone around you happy but yourself? Do you try to intellectualize your way out of your feelings? Do you feel on edge or anxious most of the time? Our minds and bodies do a wonderful job of helping us survive traumatic experiences, but these survival techniques can also begin to impact our connection with ourselves, our relationships, our purpose, and much more. Through exploring past experiences, strengthening the mind-body connection, and continuing to be curious and compassionate towards self, we can begin to shift ourselves out of survival mode into a life we choose.

It can be scary to admit that something in your life isn't working. Maybe you have found that the feelings of insecurity, hopelessness, or dread just won't go away, no matter how much time and effort you put in. I understand the shame, guilt, and embarrassment that can come with talking about our perceived pitfalls. Every person experiences their own hardships, and we all need the proper time and space to work through them.

Overthinking? Overwhelmed? Panicking? Avoiding the never-ending expectations and responsibilities that keep piling up in relationships, work, and life like the plague and feeling ashamed, scared, angry, confused, or lost because of it? These experiences can be caused by anxiety and/or trauma, and since sometimes it can be difficult to determine which is which, as a therapist I specialize in both to help clear the waters to provide direction, treatment, and relief.

Life is a journey, often filled with moments of feeling stuck and uncertain about ourselves and our path. Therapy provides an opportunity to pause, reflect inwardly, and connect in order to gain clarity and work towards meaningful change. As your therapist, I bring warmth, compassion, respect, and humor to our work together. My aim is to create a safe environment where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences without fear of judgment. Together, we will personalize an approach that encompasses all aspects of human experience: body, mind, spirit, and relationships.

We reach out for help when we recognize that we do not have the tools we need to think differently and/or feel better. This decision is born of insight, humility and courage. During my long career, I have counseled numerous individuals from all walks of life, in both private practice and as Clinical Director of Eating Disorders & Substance Abuse Residential & Outpatient treatment programs. If you are open to expanding your consciousness in areas of aging, transitions, sadness, anxiety, relationships (mending/ending), compulsive eating/binge eating/bulimia, sickness, dying, death and grief, sexuality, spirituality, let's meet.

I believe that through genuine connection, trust, and safety, there will be healing. I am trained in EMDR therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Addiction Counseling, and Systemic Therapy. Above all, however, I am a Person-Centered Therapist. I will use a unique and specialized approach with each individual. Whatever the reason you are seeking support, know that it is a valid one.

Right now, you are struggling, and it is hard to find the motivation and strength to get through each day. "Stressed out" is an understatement. Things are overwhelming and you feel like you are suffocating. It all happened so fast.

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

Hello! My name is Kelly, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have worked in many settings as both a social worker and a therapist. My specialties include work with children, adolescents, and young adults. My professional experience centers around expected life challenges including identity formation, stress management, and interpersonal relationships, as well as unexpected events that might include trauma or loss.

I have a passion for working with adults and teens who struggle with depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, self-harm, relational stress, the daily stressors of life, and those who have experienced trauma.

I approach my clients from where they are coming from and what their needs are. While my specialty is trauma, depression, and anxiety, I hold a safe space for any needs. Together we will work to integrate what brings you into therapy. I believe diversity is a strength. Being Latina has helped me see this first hand. I use a multicultural point of view with an intercultural understanding. My pronouns are she/her, I am cishet, and I believe in respect for all people.

Help has been put off for awhile… You have "family issues” and often times feel so alone. Racing heart beat, everything feeling like it’s closing in, feelings of panic are all too common. You might be tired of coping with substances/ medications. Feeling rested doesn’t happen anymore, and sometimes the whole night is spent worrying. You always find a reason for not getting help. Life is just too busy with work and other stuff going on. Overwhelm takes over a lot. But, you are tired of living this way… Life is just too hard…

SPRING into wholeness. Stop ruminating on past pain. My new address 2627 Redwind Rd. Suite220; Fort Collins, CO. I work with adults in recovery from trauma, eating disorders, anxiety and depression. Have you lost your hunger cues from restricting? In a binge-purge cycle or unable to stop the compulsive part of you from working off every calorie? I believe you can halt those emotional roller coasters. I create a space that is open, non-judgmental, accepting and compassionate. Let's find a thimble full of courage to begin. I would love the opportunity to help your reduce your fears and embrace bravery.

Life will throw many twists and turns your way, and counseling provides the support to navigate through these challenges in a healthy manner. I believe that counseling is a great way to achieve the life you want and to heal from past and current pain. It is an effective way to foster healthy communication and relationships with yourself and others.

You are not alone, sister... Though you do your best to get up, get dressed (yoga pants count, ladies!) and smile while you uphold all your roles/responsibilities, you are actually living an anxious, panicked, stressed, overwhelmed and depressed life (or your daughter is). Your best version of YOU is locked away - longing. While you hope one day you'll just feel better, in the meantime you find yourself in the same place: struggling, anxious, frustrated, exhausted, detached, fearful, isolated, unsettled, desperate. I don't want you to settle for living this way any longer; there is hope and this does not have to be your "normal."

Note:I am seeing couples on Tuesdays/Wednesdays. Do you want to be in a happier, healthier, more secure relationship? As a Psychologist and PACT Certified Couple Therapist, I help partners develop a safe, loving, connected relationship. My work with couples is attachment based, assisting couples with communication, creating trust and deepening emotional and physical intimacy. My counseling approach is active and warm, based on best practices and over 25 years of clinical experience. I also specialize in trauma and I am certified in EMDR. My training as a yoga teacher brings a mindfulness based approach to my work.

I have been a therapist for over twenty years, so there is no ideal client. I am here to help those in need. Lately, anxiety and depression have hit so many people. But, people who have traumas that have come forward and feel now is the time to deal with them, I am very experienced to help you. I have also dealt with cancer personally and in my family, as well as stroke and brain surgery. So, medical issues are also an area, and I am ready to walk through with this you. Sexual abuse and rape are another trauma I have spent many years helping people with. You set the goals, and we develop the treatment plan!

Have you ever thought to yourself - "I freeze every time I have to perform". "My nerves always get the best of me". "I need someone to talk to, but I don't want to burden anyone". "I feel sad but I'm not sure why". "I'll never be good enough". Do you relate to any of these statements? You are worthy of a better life and together we can get there.

Living in a state of mind with revolving thoughts of sadness, fear, trauma, or even grief can make it extremely difficult to have hope for any circumstance. Happiness can start to feel like a façade. Day to day activities start to feel meaningless, and motivation for anything seems like it’s disintegrating. I would like to guide you out of the darkness to a space where you can grow. You are not meant to live in the shadows. I am here to help you cultivate a mental environment capable of prosperity. There is power in who you are, and we can embark on this journey together. I encourage you to reach out to me today!
