Hi, I am glad you are looking for a resource to address what is happening for you during this time of change. It takes courage, insight and determination to take these steps for yourself. Whether you select me as your therapist , or not, I hope you will keep on this path. I am a licensed clinical social worker with more than 20 years of experience in many different settings, including schools, community mental health, hospitals, nursing homes and private practice. I have worked with teenagers through the elderly. I think connecting with people in a genuine and supportive manner is essential to growth. My approach is built on collaborating with my clients, by providing a safe and supportive place, to identify their goals, improve their lives and how they feel. I am more of a generalist, drawing from many approaches, including, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, solution-focused, brief therapy, strengths-based, family systems, internal family systems and dialectical behavioral therapy.

I would describe myself as a "Mind, Body, & Spirit" counselor who has education and experience in the 'whole' human perspective. I am currently working on a PhD in Psychology with a concentration in consciousness, spirituality, & integrative health. I have a MA degree in Mindfulness-based Transpersonal Counseling, a BA in Psychology with a minor in Sociology, and an AS in Science, where I focused on pre-medical courses. I worked in addictions counseling for 3 years during my practicum and internship, and worked with mental health students for 4 years post-grad, in addition to clients from the public in my private practice, Humanistic Counseling LLC, where I specialize in Panic & Anxiety, Support Animal Assessments, Dreams & Nightmares, LGBTQIA+ clients, Altered States of Consciousness Integration, Sexual Assault Survivors, and most recently, offer Clinical Supervision for Post-MA Counselors-in-training. I also have worked in crisis intake at a local psychiatric hospital completing full assessments for levels of care. Growth happens during uncomfortable phases of our lives. In the moments when we are shook up, lost, or afraid, there is an opportunity for new awareness's, expansion and growth. These struggles though don't have to be experienced alone nor unguided. If harnessed with love and support, we can experience greater openings and insights that will allow us to move forward renewed. The role I take as a therapist is as your helper and assistant. I may offer potential insights, tools, techniques, coping skills, or simply love and caring as you share with me your pain and your joys. I am a client-led therapist, which means you decide what is working for you and what does not work for you. I continually will seek feedback to ensure you are getting the most support from our partnership.

I am a licensed counselor in Colorado with five years of experience. I have been able to engage in counseling with all ages and diverse populations and have worked with many differing problems. I have worked with issues that include sexuality, suicidal thoughts, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, anger management, healthy relationships, bipolar disorder, couples counseling, family counseling, women's empowerment, domestic violence, communication skills, and trauma. I believe in the importance of a safe and comfortable relationship between counselor and client. I like to take a person centered approach which allows me to see the client as their own expert and me as the guide to help them find and implement changes for a healthier and happier life. I also utilize cognitive behavioral therapy, narrative therapy and EMDR when helpful for the client to process and discover ways to increase happiness. I believe that honesty is important to build a healthy relationship and encourage you to share your feelings openly and without judgement as you feel comfortable doing so. I know that I start as a stranger and opening up may take some time so I promise to provide a supportive environment if you as the client will promise to open up more as you become more comfortable. I also encourage clients to advocate for a change in treatment if my approach or personality is not working for them. I look forward to meeting with you!

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 Mount Crested Butte due to a higher cost of living, and a limited number of therapists taking new clients.

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

While many psychologists in Mount Crested Butte may not take health insurance, some in the state of Colorado may work on a sliding scale, meaning they'll factor in your income and charge what you can afford per session. With a BetterHelp therapist throughout the state of Colorado you can expect significantly more affordable options, with therapists sessions ranging from $65 to $100 per week (billed every four weeks).

How should I prepare for my first therapy session with a Mount Crested Butte counselor?

Before seeing your Mount Crested Butte therapist, prep for your session by reading to understand the process. You might write a list of questions you want to ask your psychotherapist, any emotional pain you may feel, and the ways in which you hope to improve. When you attend your session, you can let our therapists know if you have any concerns or feel unsure about what to talk about. Mount Crested Butte therapists here may help guide you with open-ended therapeutic questions while offering mental health services. The first session will often serve as an intake to get to know you as a person and learn why you're attending therapy.

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

Some simply don't feel the need to see a psychologist. However, some people may avoid attending therapy due to stigma or preconceived notions of what it might entail. Although psychologists often support people with mental health conditions, you do not need a diagnosis or specific condition. You can discuss grief, relationship concerns, stress, or life changes and ask for general feedback. A Mount Crested Butte licensed clinical social worker may help you gain power over your life and emotions while you navigate day-to-day experiences.

Gaining a new perspective on yourself through various therapies might allow you to improve your self-esteem, work through relationships, and gain a better sense of your mental health goals. The success you may find with a Mount Crested Butte counselor can be dependent on your process.

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. A psychologist 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 psychologist in Mount Crested Butte, 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.

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.
