Therapists in Colorado Springs, CO

I work with children 8+, adolescents, adults, and relationships. I have a deep belief in the capacity for people to change, improve their lives, circumstances, and choices, and to create a new start for themselves and their families. I understand the challenges and traumas faced by first responders and law enforcement members and care deeply for supporting their healing and resiliency. As a trauma focused therapist, I know the experiences that individuals face in childhood, and the family system that they grow up in, play a significant role in their development, self concept coping skills, life path, and relationships.

Do you find talks with your partner turn to fights? Does frustration surface when you need to discuss important topics? You are not alone. Many couples struggle with communicating effectively and understanding each other. Every argument is a conversation you need to have. It is not too late to have the fulfilling relationship you have always wanted.

Evidenced- based treatments are offered for couples, families, children and adults. Marriage and relationship work are used following the Gottman Method. EMDR integrated with Mindfulness and Somatic work is used to treat trauma, grief, chronic pain and mood issues. Play Therapy and Sand Play Therapy are also specialty areas. Registered with the Gottman Method Directory for couple work; Play Therapy Association; Eye Movement Densensitization & Reprocessing International Association; National Association of Social Workers; & Sandplay Therapy Association of America.

Do you feel disconnected from your loved ones? Do you wonder if you are parenting "the right way"? Does every conversation seem to devolve into conflict? If so, you aren't alone. Families and couples everywhere struggle with these same issues. As a specialist in relationship counseling, my focus in family and couples therapy is to help you discover the emotional gaps between you and your loved ones and build lasting bridges of understanding and empathy for each other. Through this process, you will learn how to repair emotional wounds and find happiness in your relationships.

I believe that everyone can rise above their struggles and find healing and meaning in their life. No one should live with mental health, or relational issues alone. I believe that counseling is a partnership in which we are fellow travelers for a short time while we journey to discover how to use the resources you have, to accomplish your mental health or relational goals. My main scope of practice is in both couples and trauma therapies.

Hi, I'm glad you're here! Looking for a therapist can feel overwhelming, and I'm so excited for you to find the therapist who feels like a match to you.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker that has been in practice since 2005. I work primarily with individuals and families; age 12 and above. My focus includes, but is not limited to, depression, anxiety, and trauma. As a therapist, I work to get at the root of the problem, not just teaching you how to cope with the problem in the moment. I do believe in a mind/body/spirit balance, so taking care of yourself outside of our sessions is just as important as the work we do during sessions. My goal for every client is to grow as a person and achieve your goals so that I, as your therapist, become obsolete.

I want to be most helpful to people in relationship with one another, whether that is in a family or a couple. Humans are relational beings and when our closest relationships are not healthy it can effect every aspect of our lives. I work with couples who want to find what was lost, repair deep pain or hurt, or learn how to better understand each other's needs and how to communicate with one another. I work with individual clients as well who want to learn more about themselves and how they can gain mastery over the circumstances of life that have weighed them down. We all want to feel seen and heard by our loved ones.

At Affinity Therapy Services we meet clients where they are and work together as a team to utilize their strengths. Our goal is to encourage growth, develop skills, and process any past difficulties. We want our clients to live happy and healthy lives.

Although we cannot avoid life’s pain and trauma, we do not have to process it alone. I see counseling as a collaborative and supportive process that can aid in one's healing. Maya Angelou said, “You can’t really know where you are going until you know where you have been.” I believe it is imperative to evaluate our life story and the meaning we have attached to our experiences. Recognizing the root of our maladaptive thoughts and emotional distress allows us to receive the hope and healing needed to move towards a satisfying and purpose-filled life.

Let's be honest, therapy isn't the first choice for most people. If, however, you are in a place where this might seem like a good option, I'd appreciate the opportunity to work with you. Whether it is personal issues or you're having difficulties with your spouse, significant other, parent, or child(ren). Or, maybe you just need some support with a transition in life. I enjoy working with people from all walks and stages of life and while change is up to you, know that I'm willing to be in your corner along the way. In addition to myself, we have a team of 13 other providers ready and wiling to help in any way we can.

Four hours of sleep, 20 minutes late to work, and five espresso shots later…you’re day has started. And it’s come with a ton of anxiety and negative thoughts. The “fun” part? It doesn’t stop there - it bleeds into your day and evening - more tense moments with the kids, drinks to cope, and struggling to just BE. And sure, if this kind of day only happened here and there, that would be doable. But when it feels like this has been your usual for way too long…it sucks. And all you want…is some goddamn relief. Just to rest, to feel settled and at ease in your own body…your own life. And you can absolutely have this.

All of us face challenging events in our lives, and at times need assistance in finding new insights, new perspectives, and new tools to live a satisfying life. When the stories of our lives no longer meet our needs - it is time for each of us to write a new story leveraging the assistance of a trusted counselor.

I am passionate about helping individuals come to clarity in their lives and relationships so they can make better choices for themselves from a place of integrity. It is a rewarding journey for which I would love to join you. As inescapably social beings, the most painful experiences in our lives involve relationship struggle, pain, trauma, and loss. You may be hurt by abuse or trauma you are now courageously choosing to face from your past. Or, you may feel stuck or at a loss as you try to navigate transitions that involve relationship changes within your family, friends, or communities.

If you find yourself sacrificing your own needs to please others, feeling stuck and exhausted, or trapped in a cycle of self-criticism and doubt, you're not alone. At The CC, we understand the weight of these struggles and are here to offer support. Our compassionate team of therapists specializes in helping individuals break free from the patterns of self-doubt that hold them back. We provide a safe and nurturing environment where you can explore your fears, frustrations, and dreams for the future.

We all need a place to unpack our brokenness, pain and struggle. We desire to have someone listen wholeheartedly to our story. The Sanctuary Collective desires to be a place that is safe, without judgement to create change within ourselves so that we can engage in the world. Our belief is that we have a mind, body and soul that works as one. Here we will collectively work with like-minded professionals that address you holistically (mind, body and soul).
