Suicidal Ideation Therapists in Boulder, CO

Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness. We aim to cultivate hope in all our clients. We work with adolescents and adults to overcome complex and difficult to treat problems, including substance abuse, trauma, depression, anxiety, self-harm, suicide, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), relationship issues, and overwhelming emotions. We often deal with more than one problem at a time. Our passion is helping people who struggle with multiple problems build a fulfilling and meaningful life.

I work with children and adolescents (ages 7+), adults, and families. I specialize with treating depression, anxiety, and trauma. Major life changes such as attending a new school, divorce/separation, work-life struggles, health issues, or social concerns/bullying can greatly affect wellbeing. Such stressors can then be compounded when faced with a wide range of traumatic events. We will work together to express and explore any current struggles and restore balance to your life and relationships. There is no need to navigate these life, family, and emotional challenges alone. Reach out today for support!

My work is built on a foundation of the belief that everyone possesses health, sanity, and wisdom regardless of how disconnected they feel from it or the problems presenting in their life. I support clients tired of being pathologized and ready to become authors of their own experience through self-defined narratives of healing.

Disconnected, stuck, unmotivated, or deeply pained teens improve with therapy. If your teen is glued to their phone, failing school, has experienced a traumatic event, suicide attempt, is self-harming, abusing drugs, or has parents going through a divorce - we've seen it all. The teen experience is tough! At Antelope Recovery, we understand that not all teens want to go to therapy, but they know that what they're currently doing isn't working, and they want to feel better. We also specialize in helping teens who have tried other types of help, such as 1:1 therapy or medication but have not experienced significant improvement.

Childhood, teen years and young adult years are full of confusion, exploration and growth. Rather it be struggling with friendships, managing emotions, depression or anxiety symptoms or something unknown these things add extra stressors in this journey, sometimes challenging certain aspects or everything at once. This is where therapy can play a supportive role in exploring these challenges and discovering together what can be most supportive to help you or your child reach their goals and true potential.

As a psychologist at Abbott Therapeutic Solutions, I have dedicated myself to helping teens and adults who suffer from challenging problems. If you have deep wounds, I can help. I specialize in helping people who struggle with trauma, anxiety, depression, OCD, eating disorders, self-harm, substance use, suicidal thoughts, dissociation, and borderline personality disorder. Traditional talk therapy has failed many of our clients. I am able to effectively and compassionately help people with difficult problems by both treating problems at their core and helping people learn the skills and tools they need to live a fulfilling life.

Is your child or teenager angry, irritable, agitated, tearful? Worried, moody, emotional? Having difficulty expressing feelings and communicating? Unable to focus, can't sit still? Are you looking for practical parenting or personal skills or wondering how to enhance communication and relationships in your family? Or experiencing distressing symptoms from traumatic experience(s)? If so, I can help! I specialize in identifying, creating strategies for, and clearing emotional and behavioral patterns in children, teens, and adults. I create personalized, practical strategies for children and teens and assist parents in creating family dynamics that balance the needs of all family members.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and am working on finishing my requirements to be a Licensed Addiction Counselor as well. I joined the JFS Boulder team October 2023. Prior to this, I have worked in hospital settings providing inpatient psychotherapy and psychiatric evaluations. I have also spent time providing school-based psychotherapy as part of a grant funded program. I am originally from Illinois, but after moving to Denver for graduate school have been proud to call Colorado home for over 4 years now. I completed my master’s degree in forensic psychology in 2021 at DU.

You are worthy of healing. Life presents many hurdles and you don't have to tackle it alone; I am here to support you and your goals. If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, self-harm, or processing trauma, you deserve professional support. We will collaborate together to create a treatment plan that is individualized to your specific challenges and strengths. Together we can manage your treatment, invite in positive behaviors​ and thoughts, and say goodbye to what is no longer serving you. I am currently seeing clients online or meeting for walks in the town of Durango, CO.

Creating a safe environment is where I begin. I see therapy as a collaborative process that can lead you toward a greater capacity for self-awareness, trust, clarity, a sense of meaning and freedom. Life gives us surprising obstacles, which can make us feel stuck, depressed, alone or scared. With therapeutic presence, creativity and guidance, we can change our relationship to obstacles and transform. Our darkest point may mark the moment we realize we want to change. I use yoga and creative writing in my practice, and have training in mindfulness/somatic approaches, gestalt therapy, family systems, DBT, & depth psychology.

Licensed in OR, CO, WA. Are your symptoms preventing you from engaging in or enjoying activities you once used to? I work with people who battle anxiety, depression, PTSD, complex childhood trauma, addiction, suicidal thoughts and more. Counseling with me will be a warm, authentic and safe experience where together, we can gently process the thoughts, fears and doubts that keep you feeling stuck and perhaps miserable. Therapy may involve helping you develop increased awareness, exploring thought processes, relationships and behavior patterns, as well as learning new skills to manage your symptoms and relationships.

My expertise comes from over 26 years of experience as a licensed professional helping individuals navigate changes in their lives, deal with traumatic events, and cope with the difficulties of day-to-day life. Sometimes our worries and sadness can feel consuming. In my practice the goal of treatment is to help manage feelings of anxiety, depression and pain so that you can work towards a more satisfying and productive life. I enjoy working with children and teens as well as adults, catering my approach to the individual needs of the client.

I love working alongside adults and teens who are ready to explore what is going on underneath their symptoms. Clients I support seek therapy for help with anxiety, depression, self-harm, and/or suicidal ideation among other difficult things. Often (though not always), clients are part of the LGBTQ+ community and are interested in figuring out how their experience of gender identity and/or sexuality fits into their mental health and lives. First, we get to know you better while we find ways to cope with symptoms. When you’re ready, we take a deep dive together into what’s causing life to feel hard, unmanageable, or even unlivable.

Do you look like you "have it all together" on the outside, but inside you're falling apart? Have you felt misunderstood, judged and gaslighted by those around you? Do you need support understanding your neurodivergent identity from someone who truly gets it? I'm here for you. I specialize with late-identified (after 12 yo) ADHD, Autistic and Gifted people ages 10+ who suffer from anxiety, chronic stress, overstimulation, executive dysfunction, meltdowns, depression, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, and unresolved trauma. All of my work is neurodiversity affirming!

I am an LPCC (Licensed Professional Counselor Credentialing) in the State of Colorado.  My goal for providing counseling is to help my clients through some of life's most difficult times.  Working together and exploring these hardships allows for the client to be able to cultivate and find some of life's most meaningful connections. Having trained in both somatic therapy and EMDR, I help move my clients through some of the most difficult traumas or bereavement as they journey to a greater understanding of self by fostering a more profound connection with the body, mind and spirit.  I enjoy working with a wide range of ages.

You are worth it. Take the step. Sometimes it seems like you'll never get out of the quicksand of your struggles. But you can. You don't have to do it alone. Rooted in the present and evidenced based practices, through a depend approach to using cognitive and emotion based therapies, I can help you to overcome your issue. Through uncovering and exploring the aspects that are making things difficult for you, how your thinking and emotions are in play, you can become empowered, have agency, and get on with your life.

Pregnancy and postpartum life can feel daunting, lonely, and overwhelming. The expectations put onto mothers to feel "overjoyed" and have it all together often leaves new or expectant moms feeling shamed into silence that "something must be wrong with me" for feeling afraid, lost, depressed, or missing their old self/life/relationship with their partner. This is the most vulnerable time in a person's life. You are not crazy. It is hard. You get to make your well being a priority. The core of my work lies in supporting women in all stages of life.
