Welcome! I’m Joanna Lester (she/they/we) and I provide virtual therapy in Colorado. I specialize in parts work and supporting clients who are seeking deeper personal growth, navigating life transitions, and anxiety. My goal is always to provide a space of safety and validation while we explore your authentic self. Safety can feel different for everyone, especially when we're exploring vulnerable parts of our experience. Your emotions and experience are what define your unique sense of safety. Learn more about me at www.firstcircletherapy.com
My approach is depth-oriented and collaborative. I focus on helping you connect with the deeper parts of yourself, clearing inner blockages and making space for growth. Using mindfulness and parts work, we’ll explore your inner experience, building trust and self-awareness to support healing and create lasting change.
You can expect to feel safe, heard, and supported as we explore your deepest needs and desires. My goal is to help you welcome all parts of yourself, build inner trust, and connect with your authentic self. We’ll work together to develop tools you can use outside of our sessions, empowering you to live with greater confidence, ease, and wellbeing.
