Therapists in Colorado

Hi there. I'm Sarah Strong, a Colorado-based Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over seven years of clinical experience providing therapy, consultation and education to individuals in a variety of settings including schools, telehealth, and private practice. I have supported individuals through a wide range of mental health concerns ranging from navigating life's transitions to surviving a trauma or navigating more complicated mental health diagnoses. In addition to my broad knowledge base, my specialty areas of focus are parenthood and athletic identity/performance. As your therapist, you can expect me to be authentic, empathic, collaborative and empowering. I want you to feel that I am part of your team, that I will celebrate and mourn alongside you and that I really believe in you. My approach is integrated, pulling from my previous training and experience in evidenced based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), interpersonal neurobiology and somatic therapy. I am here to support you in identifying and achieving your goals and creating the positive change you are seeking.

Hi There! Having lived through a number of difficult experiences I understand the challenges in continuing to share your vulnerabilities with the world. These experiences lead us to hide our pain thinking it will be easier if others cannot see them. In reality, each time we hide our pain we dismiss a part of ourselves that is aching to be seen. As a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Missouri and Colorado, and a Women's Empowerment Life Coach, I understand the importance of guiding women towards their internal strengths, building trust, and exploring their personal authenticity. My work is centered in supporting women through the twists and turns of self-discovery. In working with me, women discover and rediscover parts of themselves that they have buried, lost, or are unknown. I focus on education, elevation, and empowerment. Through my work women are encouraged to take control, reclaim their inherent freedom, and cultivate support that lights a path to the new woman they are becoming. My eclectic approach entwines 12 years of education and experience to help you identify obstacles in your life while steering you towards your goals. I specialize in issues related to anxiety, family conflict, relationship challenges, self-esteem, communication and trauma. As a clinician, my journey has afforded me three key insights; a better understanding of the human condition, how trauma can impact our perceptions of our capabilities, and that the human spirit is resilient beyond imaginable belief. Reach out to me if you are ready to begin your unique journey to healing. **Scheduling: Currently I have availability on Mondays and Tuesdays late mornings/early afternoon. Please be aware of this before moving forward. Periodically their will be other availability. For potential clients outside of the continental US, if you do not see a preferred time, please make contact.

Hello, my name is Timme , I have lived in Colorado most of my life, growing up in the Arkansas Valley among the rich culture of farmers, ranchers, Hispanic communities where I learned a strong work ethic, about the role that one's culture plays in the one's journey. The desire to become involved in the mental health profession came from being around the Veterans who were at the Fort Lyon Veterans Administration Hospital where my father worked, they gave me the understanding about what being emotionally and physically challenged meant, about how to cope with those challenges, they are the reason that I hold the credentials of being a Licensed Professional Counselor, Certified Addiction Counselor, Certified Addiction Psychotherapist as well as other credential within the mental health professional landscape. I assuredly believe that "Hope is the anchor of your soul...do not let go!" The power of "As you think, so shall you be" is supported through the clinical modalities that I use: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing which I have had positive outcomes with my clients over the past 17 years. I believe in working with my client's strengths, which includes their spiritual beliefs as part of embracing their desire to reach that "sweet spot" in their life's journey. I look forward to working with you.

My name is Madison and I have been providing therapy services for over 7 years in Ohio and Minnesota. I have experience working with individuals of all ages and walks of life in a variety of settings, including schools, physician's office/hospitals, and private practice. My approach typically includes methods from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT, Solutions-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and Interpersonal Therapy (IPT). Some issues I specialize in include anxiety, depression, behavioral concerns, interpersonal conflict, and coping with major life changes. However, I believe that every client is unique and has different needs, even if they are facing similar challenges. It is my job to figure out which approach will be most effective for you. I received my Bachelor of Science in Social Work and my Master of Social Work degrees from the Ohio State University, where I also played division 1 hockey. As an athlete, I learned that resiliency, determination, and collaboration are important skills not only in sports, but also in life. As a therapist, I see my clients as my teammate. We will work together towards a common goal, which we will set together. You have your strengths, and we will identify those and use them to our advantage. The fact that you are here shows me that you are ready to make a change. Seeking support is the first and most difficult step. I am so glad that you are here, and am excited for us to work together to improve your quality of life. Welcome to our starting line!

Hello! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with experience in providing therapy and coaching to clients. I have worked with clients from ages 10 and up with a multitude of presenting issues such as developmental trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship and family issues, PTSD, self-esteem and self-identity issues and neurodevelopmental disorders. I came to the game late, getting my Bachelors and Masters in my 40's. I spent a lot of time in the business world, hiring, training and mentoring and I bring much of that experience to my therapy. I have worked with adolescents and adults that have experienced trauma, PTSD, anxiety and depression. I have a varied experience coaching and mentoring young adults, women and single parents, both men and women. My experience is multifaceted working with individuals, families and parents separately. I believe the greatest agent of change is the relationship. Whether it is the relationship you have with a therapist, your spiritual relationship or a relationship with others. Relationships provide powerful impact for good and for bad. My focus in therapy is to meet a client where they are with unconditional positive regard and to use an approach that will work best as we work toward meeting therapy goals. With my experience, I truly believe I can help people heal their relationships and work through the struggles they face. I am here to support you through your journey.

I create a safe zone where my clients are free to explore the scary parts of their lives that they have tucked away. We do not have to be defined by the things that happen to us. We are the sum total of our lives. I work with you to help you develop the tools you need to take the helm of your own life. You are capable of healing and transforming your own life. And I like to not “get stuck in the blame game”. We are all on our own path, and whatever coping mechanisms served you when you were in flight, fight, or freeze (some people can be stuck in these their whole lives) Your path is HERE AND NOW and we all have a past that can inform us, take what we can from it, bring our adult self on board to look at it, and then put it to rest with our other memories because that is all it is now a memory that sometimes we make the mistake of reliving over and over again when in reality you have already survived. I have lived in Durango since 1997, graduating from Fort Lewis College with a bachelor's degree in political science and psychology. During that time, I worked at the U.S. Attorney’s Office for four years, finally realizing the judicial system was not where I would do my best work to help empower those who find themselves caught up in it. I received my master's degree in social work from the University of Denver in 2010. I was the Southwest Regional Representative for the Colorado Organization for Victim Assistance and I volunteered for Durango's Sexual Assault Services Organization for 4 years, I was then honored to be on the Board. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I have a passion for helping victims of assault, whether physical, sexual, or power-oriented. I know the dehumanizing nature of this path firsthand. I can help to guide, empower and educate my clients, should they find themselves in a similar situation. Fun fact about me I live on what I lovingly refer to as “my useless farm” I have, rabbits, chickens, ducks, cats, and dogs. My favorite place to be is outside interacting with nature and animals, and having a useless farm allows me to practice being mindful every morning and morning night. And I love music and to read.
