Humanistic Therapists in West Colorado Springs, Colorado Springs, CO

I provide culturally-aware counseling that honors the unique identities of my clients. Through a humanistic approach, I support clients who struggle with anxiety, physical (somatic) symptoms of mental health, emotional awareness and repression, self-acceptance, loss of significant relationships, and developmental trauma such as abuse or neglect experienced in childhood. I am LGBTQIA+ affirming and also work with clients who have experienced spiritual and religious trauma/adverse experiences. My values of authenticity and creativity guide clients to connect more deeply with themselves and others.

I offer an integrative, trauma-informed approach specializing in identity exploration, anxiety, OCD, and disordered eating. As a queer therapist, I also value and specialize in supporting LGBTQ+ clients and those who are deconstructing faith transitions. With a relational and grounded style, I create a space where clients feel safe to explore, process distress, and challenge themselves to live with greater balance and authenticity.

I will guide dealing with and healing attachment trauma, PTSD, and various abuses with kind, respectful and non-judgmental treatment. Through co-regulation of body awareness and experiencing inner core truths we'll foster healing "attunement!" I believe in your inner wisdom for transformation.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over twenty years of experience in private practice. I have worked in the mental health field for thirty years and have experience working in a variety of treatment settings including outpatient, residential, day treatment and public school settings at all grade levels. My extensive experience working with children, adolescents and adults has provided me with the insight and understanding which allows me to evaluate and guide you through your individual situation in a professional and confidential manner.

At some point in life, perhaps now, a personal, relational, or professional crisis may pressure you toward a crossroad where you'll find yourself in unknown territory and possibly heading in a new direction. Such transitional times often feel unsettling and uncertain, even overwhelming; however, they can also be a turning point. Though difficult and often unwelcomed, this turning point can present a critical opportunity to make a real change, and finally address what you've struggled to resolve on your own, and no longer need to process alone.

I am a licensed psychologist who specializes in existential psychotherapy. I strive to listen deeply to your thoughts and emotions so that I can identify points of conflict and develop solutions. I provide psychotherapy for a variety of psychological conditions including depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, sexuality, and divorce.

I value all dimensions of human diversity and I am an ally to the LGBT community. I work with adults and teens. I enjoy working with individuals from rural communities.

I believe that change, although painful and challenging at times, is the only consistent thing about life, and that's when we grow. Don't avoid being uncomfortable! Lean in! Our ability to acclimate to change is vital. My personal belief is that EVERYONE has the innate capacity for change and growth, even though life's toughest curve balls! I hold a firm belief that the client is the expert, as they have lived and led their own lives.

I'm Cassie (she/they), and I would describe myself as a nurturer who strives to create a therapeutic space in which children, adolescents, and adults can feel safe and seen. I am trained in Art Therapy, as well as Play Therapy (yes, online works too!). I believe the capacity to heal is within us already, and the therapeutic relationship can reminds us of our own strength.

NOW ACCEPTING NEW MEDICAID CLIENTS - I believe every human being has the capacity to grow and to accept themselves for who they really are. Sometimes our life's experiences, particularly traumatizing ones, hinder our ability to see light, hope and gratitude. There are things that we go through in life that we didn't ask for or even deserve to experience it; however, I believe you have what it takes to find the confidence, the strength, the compassion that you need to be happier and whole. We are a compassionate, culturally competent team of counselors who are looking forward to embarking in your journey towards personal healing.

I work with a holistic lens to integrate the most recent neurological research with nature, mindfulness, art and movement to help my clients uncover their inherent joy.

After a life changing event in 2010, I dedicated my career and life to helping others find their peace and build their mental health to new levels.

Life is never easy. Just when you tackle one obstacle you are handed another. You think, why me? I know that feeling! I know that each person has a unique road in life, and I would be honored to be a part of your journey. I enjoy working with clients navigating all stages of life's difficulties. My personal journey has helped me to understand the challenges with juggling personal, family, and societal demands. It is not easy, but I am here to help you find a way.

Currently accepting clients only for Ketamine Assisted Therapy. Is your inner critic working overtime? Are you feeling down or anxious and like you aren't living life to your full potential? Maybe you are stuck in repeated conflict with your partner, wondering where the intimacy, joy, and love went. Perhaps your family is struggling with communication, distance, loss or change. I know that being human can be messy, painful, and confusing and draw from my 17 years of experience to help families, couples, and individuals navigate struggles to live more fulfilling lives.

Do you ever find yourself thinking that you could conquer the world if you could just get out of your own way? Does your brain spin and spin without stopping? Do you nitpick every little thing about yourself, even when others think you're amazing? If you're struggling with overthinking, compulsive overworking, and just can't seem to relax, I can help you. Whether your problem is anxiety, perfectionism, or you are stuck reliving past trauma, I have tools and training that can help you overcome your obstacles, discover your core values, and enhance your resilience.

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.

Because of the hurt I have experienced in my life I have become passionate about sitting with people as they sift through the darkest parts of themselves. I received my Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Colorado Christian University and have received formal training in Eye Movement Desensitization/Reprocessing (EMDR) and Motivational Interviewing. I balance kindness and directness as a therapist, while incorporating my sense of humor into the relationship. I primarily work with adolescents and adults, and work with a myriad of struggles including grief, trauma, addiction, and attachment issues.
