Therapists in Littleton, CO

My passion for counseling has always stemmed from believing in people and the possibility for meaningful change. As your counselor, I feel my purpose is to meet everyone where they are right here and right now. How I work on achieving this by providing an open, safe and supportive atmosphere to work with you. Let’s collaborate through a proper therapeutic alliance to find the tools necessary to achieve your goals and a better quality of life. I enjoy working with adult individuals and couples in a variety of areas including depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationships.

Hello! My name is Kaela. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate in Colorado with 3 years of experience working with adults. Additionally, I received my master’s degree in mental health counseling. This has given me a wealth of knowledge on how to provide supportive and individualized treatment to support individuals. I have a passion for working with clients who identify as BIPOC and have military backgrounds, as well as clients who are experiencing grief, struggles with their moods, or coping with trauma.

If you're feeling the weight of societal pressures and struggling to find your authentic self, know that you're not alone. I've been there too. Together, we'll navigate through the maze of external validation and societal norms to uncover your true essence. Let's dig deep, unravel those ingrained beliefs, and discover the strength and acceptance you deserve. It's time to embark on a transformative journey towards personal growth and empowerment. You've got this, and I'm here to support you every step of the way.

My background includes working with anxiety, depression, attention/focus issues, motivation, trauma, life transitions, relationships, stress management, family system issues, and substance abuse.

My passion in psychotherapy is working with adults who struggle with behavioral and mental health issues, including trauma, anxiety ADHD and a variety of personality disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder and addictions. My therapeutic approach is drawn from mindfulness-based therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, behavioral therapy, and a humanistic approach. I also offer Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Exposure and Ritual/Response Prevention (EXRP) as well as EMDR and Prolong Exposure (PE) sessions for trauma treatment. I am a Doctor of Psychology in Clinical Psychology with a Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology.

Are you feeling anxious, depressed, stressed or even burning out? Are you having a hard time finding your own pace? Are you trying to recover from the trauma that has been haunting you from the past? Are you feeling defeated and lost? Challenges in life are painful and frustrating. However, these moments may be the starting points for a journey of self-discovery. This journey is rewarding but It can also be scary at the same time. You don't have to do this alone.

Have you been feeling stuck and are ready to feel empowered again? My first step as a psychotherapist is to meet the client where they are at in any given phase in treatment. I build rapport through my sense of warmth and empathy. The next step is to provide reflections so that the client can gain self-awareness and clarity, identifying patterns and understanding how systems and cultural factors have influenced the messages we have received throughout our lives. With this gained knowledge, the goal is to identify what has no longer been serving us so that we can reach empowerment and self-efficacy.

Maybe anxiety, depression or trauma have recently been a barrier in your life and you want to be able to feel like "yourself" or feel more fulfilled. Or maybe these are issues that are a familiar part of your life for a quite a while and you're ready for the next step in your healing.

You are self-aware, self-reflective and have done a lot of your own work already, yet find yourself falling into the same overwhelming or depressive patterns. Therapy can address the deeper patterns we often learn in childhood and release old unfulfilling patterns making way for a more authentic way of life in the here and now. What makes you come alive? What's still holding you back? I am interested in getting to know you, your unique history, struggles and strengths and supporting you in becoming a more joyful and dynamic version of yourself.

I am passionate about helping others cultivate a well of inner resources and tools to navigate the challenges of life, seeing each individual’s well-being as contributing to our collective healing. We aren’t meant to find our way through on our own. I’m so happy to see you here. My approach is first founded on developing a supportive space of acceptance and understanding, from which therapy is collaboratively tailored to your individual needs.Together, we will work together to experience and connect with emotions, identify patterns, explore the roots of limiting beliefs, discover a sense of purpose, and uncover your innate wisdom.

Courage is the foundation to every client's work. Whether you are making a life decision, addressing your or helping your family member/ love ones' with their psychological struggles, or striving to become who you are and do what truly matters to you... Often times, courage may be disguised as anxiety, fear or painful indecisiveness. Reach a better understanding, through testing or mapping out where you are, and really listen to your symptoms/ guides. Then I encourage you to plant courage through forgiveness and compassion so that you can practice, acceptance, confrontation, working through, and letting go.

If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, burnout, and increased reliance on substances to cope with uncertainty and confusion, you aren't alone. The Covid pandemic took the world by surprise and left us feeling unsafe and uncertain. Ever since, it's been crisis after crisis from climate change, deep-seated political divisions, and the threat of violence in our city and on a global scale. Talking about what's difficult to articulate is therapeutic. If you find yourself without the anchor of personal values and purpose, life can feel adrift and unmoored. I am here to help you make sense of it.
