Therapists in Florissant, CO

I have a passion for working with adolescents and young adults, helping them navigate life and helping them to identify and develope lasting skills that will follow them into adulthood. Life can be difficult and sometimes simply having someone to listen, really listen can be instrumental in navigating through those trying times.

Currently a waitlist in CO Springs. Hiring Soon! KidStuff Child & Family Counseling, P.C. specializes in helping kids, families and adults navigate life's challenges and improve overall wellness. LifeStuff, HardStuff, AdultStuff: whatever your reasons for seeking therapy, our therapists will collaborate with you to create a therapeutic experience to meet your needs. Our therapists are open and welcoming while supporting clients through their healing process. If you have Medicaid health insurance, commercial insurance, or are looking for a reasonably affordable cash-pay option, we have options for in-office and telehealth services.

Have you experienced trauma, stress or loss in your life? The answer is yes, we all have a different tolerance for the things life throws at us. Everyday we experience adversities that can add up over our lifetime. Unfortunately, we live in a society that too often has a "forget about it and move on" attitude. I want to help you slow down and really look at how your life journey has impacted your overall mental health. My goal is to create a safe place for you or your child to begin understanding how these stressors are impacting your life. I want to normalize the importance of self awareness, communication and self love.

I am passionate about meeting people where they are in life and helping them see that there is hope for their future. My focus is creating a safe space where people can learn to thrive. Life can present a number of challenges and I look to come along side people in these challenges and empower them to reach their goals at any stage of life they might be in.

Life creates challenges that are often tough to deal with by ourselves. By providing a caring and empathetic approach, I can offer support and guidance to address issues that may include relationships, grief and loss, family conflict, and addictions.

Children experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression and other challenges communicate with us through their behaviors. I specialize in helping parents and children understand the meaning and purpose behind those behaviors. I help children build the resiliency they need to overcome past challenges and thrive at home, in school and in their communities. I also help parents/caregivers build the skills and strategies necessary to guide children through difficult circumstances and achieve a more positive future.

Within a supportive, validating, and safe therapeutic relationship, we will work together to explore your thoughts and feelings at a pace, and in a manner, that feels most comfortable to you. I provide individualized therapy based on your needs and preferences, so that you are able to come as you are to each session. I welcome feedback along the way and alter my approach to best fit each client. Our sessions will help you heal and process past traumas and develop healthy coping strategies, while also discussing present challenges and relationships as we work towards your goals in a caring, understanding and empathetic space.

I started working in the mental health field 25 years ago. I believe in the importance of a therapeutic relationship that is built on trust and safety as my clients develop more insight about themselves and their relationships by applying evidence-based treatment modalities. I approach therapy from a trauma-informed and strength-based lens utilizing CBT, Mindfulness, Internal Family Systems, EMDR, and Play Therapy.

Sometimes words don't cut it. Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or seeking a safe space to explore your inner world? Art therapy uses tools that make traditional talk therapy an embodied experience. If you're wondering about what this actually looks like, the images on my profile illustrate how art therapy offers a safe space to dive deep. The heart of my practice is believing people are their own experts. You are the ONLY you with your unique values, experiences, routines, heartaches, and desires. I want you to feel seen, foster a deeper understanding of your journey, and find answers and solace through your own innate intuition.

I work with young women, millennials, teen girls, and young couples. Get support to help build boundaries, work on relationships, learn coping skills to deal with anxiety & stress, talk through life changes & challenges, big decisions, small decisions, or anything else. We can also work on self-esteem, self-image, managing time & sleep, talking through family changes or social struggles. For couples: Move your relationship challenges in a positive & productive way. For career counseling: Maybe you are not fulfilled or have a different dream or have no direction.... career counseling is a process that can help bring clarity.

Does life feel overwhelming? Do you find yourself isolating, pulling away, or leading a secret life? Does every conversation with your family feel like a fight? Or do you feel like you know what you need to do, but can’t bring yourself to do it? These feelings are a lot more common than you might think. Learning the skills to navigate and understand these problems can help you develop into the person you want to be.

Dear Being, you cannot pour from an empty cup. You have many responsibilities that cause you to neglect your mental, emotional, and physical health. It's time for a change. I am passionate about creating a safe space for my clients to explore, discover, and become empowered. I believe that you have the right to SLAY your day every day. You can look forward to a high energy and engaging therapeutic process with me as your therapist.

I have over 10 years experience in the field of trauma with emphasis on sexual abuse, depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, interpersonal/relational conflict and life transitions. I received my BA and MA from Naropa University in Boulder, CO which has a philosophy rooted in the belief that all individuals have the tools within themselves to heal from even the most difficult of experiences. My therapeutic foundation is rooted in this same philosophy. My ideal client is anyone eager to reclaim who they truly are with curiosity, compassion and raw vulnerability. By discovering this inner truth, they are set free.

I believe we are here to discover, learn, and experience as much as possible in this short journey. As a seasoned and experienced Counselor, I take a holistic (comprehensive) approach in psychotherapy focusing on all parts of a person which includes the emotional, social, biological, environmental, spiritual/philosophical (meaning and purpose), and psychological components that make us whole. And if you are in need of psychiatric medications, I work with a Psychiatrist in the area and you will have access to this service.

Wade's Hope is a place people can talk, be heard, and not judge. I also work with families, adults, adolescents, and children. I use many different therapy theories, such as Narrative, and CBT(cognitive behavioral therapy). I am a spiritual center if the client wants that type of therapy.

Have you tried traditional talk therapy and still need something more? I work with people who want a different approach. I utilize nature, play, energy, and animal-assisted therapy to help support the healing journey. Clients come seeking support for various reasons but I specialize in trauma and attachment, parenting for children who are struggling, empowerment and self-esteem. Using methods like expressive arts, yoga, partnering with nature and animals, healing happens emotionally, spiritually, cognitively and physically. I have a laid back style and you will often find me dressed in sweats or yoga pants.
