Tiffany Pallas
Thank you for the opportunity to introduce myself. I am a licensed clinical social worker and licensed addictions counselor who has additional specialized training in integrated trauma treatment including an evidenced based practice called EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). I have been working with and supporting adults and adolescents in individual and group therapy for the last 20 years. I have extensive experience, expertise and training in trauma-informed evidence based practices. Throughout my practice I have partnered with individuals who are overwhelmed and have found themselves in challenging life circumstances simply due to the ups and downs that life has thrown their way and the resultant anxiety, depression, grief & loss, substance use and/or trauma. I am committed to providing a safe, holding space for individuals who are struggling to feel seen, heard and honored. My goal is to be certain that your voice is heard and that you are able to honor your strengths and see your way to the other side of life's challenges. With your permission, it is my goal to assist you in developing coping skills to deal with your current challenges and those you may encounter in the future. I look forward to walking alongside you as you become the strong, confident person you were always meant to be. Thank you again for letting me introduce myself. You have taken a very big step by reaching out. I would be honored to support you on your journey. “Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says I'll try again tomorrow.” ― Mary Anne Radmacher
William Bates
Hello there, my name is Will, and I am a licensed therapist. I am licensed in the State of Colorado, and have been a therapist since 2012. I primarily work with people who have experienced trauma, and who have experienced sexual violence including Military Sexual Trauma. I have been a trauma therapist for the entirety of my career, and find the work to be incredibly rewarding. I always appreciate the trust my clients place in me to be there, holding a safe place to heal, as I understand how difficult it is to trust after a traumatic event. I am a Veteran, and come from a long line of veterans. I have worked with both military personnel, as well as other first responders. I also have worked with people who have never been affiliated with the armed services - they tend to appreciate my promptness! My style is client-focused, as every person experiences the aftereffects of trauma differently. What that means is that I listen to you, and what you would like to work on, without assuming that I know what is best for you! You are the expert in you, and your life; I am here to help you get to the next step. I have lots of tools and resources, and look forward to offering whatever assistance you need.

Is mental health care and therapy with a therapist worth it?
Therapy with a licensed counselor is effective and has the power to change individuals' lives. Each client is at a different stage of their emotional healing journey in life, as each human can be unique in their personality, expression, skills, and goals. An experienced clinician can target various symptoms, experiences, and personalities to help you feel your best and put you on the path to healing. Unlike advice from a friend, family, or non-professional, a mental health therapist has an understanding of various disorders like ADHD and depression with many hours of experience in treating adults in their practice. For this reason, seeing an evidence based licensed clinician in Hugo, Colorado can be worth it. Over 41 million adults in the US attend therapy services each year, showing it's a popular option and is proven to be effective.

If you opt into online therapy, you might also be able to meet with providers all over the United States and change easily at any time.

Do therapists judge you in therapy sessions during telehealth appointments?
The boundaries between you and a therapist are in place to help you and them regarding ethical concerns. Mental health professionals are held by ethical standards through the American Psychological Association (APA) and are not allowed to judge or harm their clients. If you are concerned about sharing details about yourself, feel free to withhold personal information. Their job in the therapeutic relationship is to create a safe place, help you gain a deeper understanding of your mental health, and support you. You might consider changing counselors if you don't feel safe or respected.
