Hello! Welcome to Better Help! My name is Ann Newman (She/Her), and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Licensed Addiction Counselor practicing in Colorado. I graduated from Newman University in 2012, and have been working in the social services field with a wide variety of clients for 15 years. I discovered my passion for helping others when I first went to college, realizing quickly that the Business field I was initially interested in would never be as fulfilling as aiding another person to get through a tough time. During my career, I have worked with children in foster care, family reunification, individuals with intellectual disabilities, individuals in a prison setting , LGBT individuals, and more recently with individuals, families, and groups with diagnoses of substance use and mental health disorders. I would describe my clinical approach as trauma-informed and client centered, with the goal of understanding what you want from your therapeutic experience and creating realistic goals we can achieve together. I employ Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and skills based learning, combined with an empathetic approach to your unique situation. I can work with you through video, phone, or chat. However I find being able to connect through video to be most helpful in developing a strong therapeutic connection. My availability is mostly weekends, and I check my messages at least once a day throughout the week. This is a great first step in helping yourself feel better and to begin a conversation geared towards your goals and needs. Sometimes we just need someone to talk to so we can sort it all out. I look forward to working with you!

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor LPC) in both Alaska and Colorado, and I hold a current Master Addiction Counselor national certification (MAC.) I have many years of mental health, emotional health, and addictive behavior counseling experience. I work with clients who struggle with a wide range of concerns that include depression, anxiety, psychosis, substance abuse/addictive behaviors, lifespan developmental issues, and PTSD stemming from various traumatic life experiences. My counseling style is gentle, non-confrontive, honest and non-directive, while assisting clients to develop a path to initiate positive change in their lives. The goal is to assist clients to reach their highest desired personal and professional potential. I ensure each client has a comprehensive honest and thorough assessment, followed by a relevant and realistic goal-centered treatment plan jointly developed by both client and me. The treatment plan is treated as a fluid document that can be reassessed and goals changed if needed to bring about the desired outcome. A thorough and openly honest assessment expedites the treatment process so progress towards working through personal issues/struggles can be seen as attainable and achievable. My personal and professional goal has always been to never chastise or talk down to anyone. Please know that I will challenge irrational thoughts and inconsistencies (in a non-confrontational, noncondemning manner) if they appear to be blocking progress towards the client’s desired treatment outcome. My therapeutic model incorporates various therapy techniques and skill-building approaches. These approaches include motivational interviewing, active listening, cognitive-behavioral, client centered, and rational-emotive therapy. All is assimilated into the treatment plan to help facilitate self-awareness, motivation to change, and self-empowerment to make the identified changes. I believe life is all about moving forward and reaching our personal and professional potential. Everyone finds themselves “stuck,” at various times along life’s journey, and not able to figure out how to get back up and start moving forward again. That is what the goal of therapy is. If this approach towards therapy appears to be a good match for you, please let me know. Sincerely, Joe M. Bray MA, MS, LPC, MAC

I believe knowledge is power and I hope to empower my clients to live happier, fuller lives.

My passion has always been related to serving others. My goal is to provide a safe space for you to share your story and to walk beside you as we navigate your past, present, and future. I strive to instill hope by discovering insights, exploring your goals, and developing solutions together that I can guide you in accomplishing. Circumstances of our life or our experiences can sometimes leave us feeling alone, betrayed, hurt, vulnerable, anxious, angry, and any other combination of feelings that can feel overwhelming. I’m here to serve as a guide in exploring your experiences with a reflective lens so that we can learn from those and identify ways we can help you grow to your fullest potential. ~About Me and My Background: I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Master’s in Professional Counseling, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado. Holding a variety of memberships in professional counseling organizations, I’m always striving to learn and apply techniques that will most benefit my clients. From a young age, I discovered I was always highly aware of the emotions of those around me and had an innate ability to understand those emotions on a deeper level. As a natural empath, I have spent my life trying to expand my knowledge and understanding of people through listening past just the words spoken. After serving in the Air Force for 12 years, I turned my focus to serving others as a counselor who could use my life experiences and training to guide others to a healthier and more fulfilled life. As a combat veteran, there are also unique aspects of the military related to families and marriage, career transition, relocation and life change stressors, crisis, and trauma that I have been blessed to assist others in navigating. I have experience working with individuals, couples, and families, as well as children and adolescents that are struggling with such issues as depression, anxiety, communication, self-esteem, relationship issues, trauma, etc. In addition, I have had direct experience with counseling and facilitating support groups with issues surrounding infertility, miscarriage and stillbirth, unplanned pregnancies, and abortions. I also work with my clients on resilience building through relationship strengthening, confidence building, pre-marital counseling, and other goals that we identify that they would like to accomplish. ~My Approach: Caring for your mental-health should never be thought of as a weakness. Sometimes people can just feel stuck, need another perspective of a situation, or a listening ear. I want to form a genuine and caring therapeutic relationship so that you can feel at ease and cared for. Whether I work with clients for a short time or our time is prolonged, my primary focus is on my client and specifically what they want to achieve during the time we have together. I primarily use a combination of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Narrative Therapy to analyze a client’s story and construct new thought processes around their experiences and ways that they can overcome obstacles that they may be experiencing. I also utilize Client/Person-Centered Therapy and other techniques such as Motivational Interviewing and Mindfulness to fully understand my clients and their situations and work towards achieving a healthy balance in their lives.

How does the cost of in-person counseling with a therapist compare to the cost of BetterHelp with a licensed La Junta therapist?
The average price of an in-person therapy session in the US with most therapists is $100 to $200 per hour. These prices may be higher in La Junta due to a higher cost of living, and a limited number of therapists taking new clients. The price also depends on the type of provider you are looking for.

- Counseling with a psychiatrist: $150-$500
- Counseling with therapists: $100-300

How do I know if online counseling is right for my family in La Junta?
One of the potentially rewarding aspects of working with a therapist is the validation and active listening they can provide. Your friends and loved ones may also be available to listen, but you may feel that they may lack the skills to provide objective guidance. Counselors are trained to respond to various concerns, symptoms, and mental health conditions.
Therapists in your city can support you toward a healthier emotional state, regardless of your mental health, life concerns, or healing needs. While supporting individuals in developing healthier habits, another good benefit of La Junta therapy is having an understanding, safe space with a non-judgmental party who can support you through challenging experiences.
Many people have sensitive topics that they may feel ashamed to discuss with their friends or partner. A therapist can help you confront these concerns and open up through unique methods of support. There are also many types of therapy, such as art therapy, where you may find you can express yourself through creativity instead of words with a psychotherapist.
With a lot of people in CO, therapists may be booked out with clients. Through the list of profiles above and others within BetterHelp's team, you may be able to find a psychologist within 24 to 48 hours.

Should I find a therapist or psychologist for therapy if I feel fine?

A La Junta licensed clinical social worker may help you gain power over your life and emotions while you navigate day-to-day experiences.

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 La Junta, 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.
La Junta has many clinicians who practice person or client-centered individual therapy in-person and through online sessions to assist clients in their healing journey. 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. Many people struggling with anxiety and depression, substance abuse, body image issues, and more find therapists that are a good fit for them, feel supported, and gain further insight into their lives through internet-based therapy.
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.
