I believe all individuals are capable and strive to succeed though there are times we all struggle and need a supportive individual there to help us through these times.

I strive to provide a safe space for all individuals and simply enjoy working with people from all cultures, and backgrounds.

Teenagers have their own set of struggles including peer pressure, self esteem issues, depression and anxiety. Their hormones are changing as are their bodies and can be a very tough time. Most children under age 6 can't put into words how they're feeling so play therapy is the best way to help them work through their feelings, which I utilize. It's also very important that parents have the skills to help their children through these tough times and I use Love and Logic parenting to help parents learn skills that help everyone in the family.

My approach to counseling starts with the belief that within each individual there exists a profound, intrinsic capacity for self-healing — a deep inner knowing. Similar to the way the body heals itself when cut or a bone is fractured, I believe the human psyche also comes equipped with an innate capacity for self-healing. The trick is learning how to slow down and quiet the mind enough to hear what the inner healer has to say. Hi, I’m Kit Freedman — a counselor in private practice located in Laramie, WY.

Life is tricky. Sometimes it shows up in unexpected or unwanted ways. We get to choose how to walk through it. Struggles, confusion, disappointments, and pain are indeed part of life on life's terms. Together we can move forward.

If you’ve made the decision to find a therapist, you’ve taken a courageous step toward personal growth and feeling better. How often do you relate to yourself from a place of harsh judgment, anger, and shame, being pulled in multiple directions by conflicting feelings and self-beliefs? We are physical, mental, and social beings who have tremendous resilience, strength, and wisdom within us. We all seek meaningful connections with others and with the world around us, though we may have lost that sense of meaningful connection for a while, perhaps for a very long while.

Hello, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Wyoming and Colorado. I see the therapeutic relationship as a collaborative brave space to move through held experiences and obstacles from the past that hinder the present. I specialize in working with clients to relieve symptoms from complex and simple trauma, anxiety, depression, issues related to relationships, transitions, grief and loss.

Everyone goes through hardships in their lives, and many face challenges that require some outside support and aid. While friends and family are a great resource, some parts of life are too personal or overwhelming to share with these people. Reaching out for help can be intimidating and I strive to provide a safe and supportive space that allows you to attain the support and aid you need.

My dedication to the field of mental health stems from my personal experience with it. I grew up with close loved ones living with mental illness and I have personally overcome some mental health challenges over the course of my lifetime, too. I know firsthand that having mental health concerns can be difficult. There is still so much stigma around having mental health issues, the process for getting help can be overwhelming, and it can feel so frustrating and lonely. However, I also know from experience how much life can change for the better when you find support and take steps towards taking care of yourself!

In a sea of energy, seeking authenticity can be painful. This practice offers a reconditioning of how we process information creating new pathways of understanding to co-construct questions of ethics, empathy, and imagination that include the nuanced fragilities of our shared stories. The therapeutic-transformational approach is centered around disrupting systems of power by guiding fellow humans to claim their own knowledge by engaging their intuition. The work questions the ways larger forces have informed us about what counts as mental health and what constitutes happiness, presence, fulfillment, illness, or suffering.

"Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is. The way you deal with it is what makes the difference." ~ Virginia Satir. The journey of life is filled with so many "bumps in the road" - illness, loss, family adjustments, physical changes. It can leave you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, depressed and out of balance, making it increasingly difficult to function in daily life. It's important to take the time to recognize and heal the emotional change that accompanies life's unexpected twists and turns. I look forward to walking this path with you...it is an honor.
