Therapists in Pueblo, CO
Many of us can benefit from mental health services at some point in our lives. From working parents to graduate students, we all experience stress and change that can get overwhelming at times. When it comes to finding a therapist, Pueblo, CO may offer a greater variety of choice than surrounding rural areas, but finding counseling services isn’t always easy even in more populated areas.
One reason for this is that in the field of psychotherapy there are a number of evidence-based approaches and techniques. Which will be most effective can depend on the treatment plan, the challenge itself, and the preferences of the individual. While a nearby clinic may offer counseling services, they may specialize in play therapy which is not necessarily effective for eating disorders or substance misuse. Like traditional medicine, psychology has many specializations, and it can be essential to find a therapist with experience in treating your population.
That’s where online therapy can help. With online therapy through a platform like BetterHelp you get access to over 30,000 mental health professionals who have expertise in a variety of specialties, and experience working with diverse populations. Simply fill out an online questionnaire, and BetterHelp will match you with a therapist that meets your individual needs. And because therapeutic alliance can be so key to success, if you need to change therapists, you can do so at no additional cost.
Online therapy with BetterHelp can also be a solution for those who don’t have the time or bandwidth to attend in-person sessions. Online sessions fit easily into any busy schedule. And for those who are concerned about finding a safe and non-judgmental space, video chat, and text messaging options allow you to talk to your therapist from the comfort of your own home or office. Although not covered by insurance, for many people, therapy costs can be more affordable through BetterHelp, due to lack of office overhead cost.
If you are part of the Pueblo community and have been thinking about therapy for any reason--to process past experiences, heal the breach with a family member, or gain the tools necessary to manage the stress of daily life, reach out to BetterHelp for a simple way to get started on your wellness journey.

Hello and Welcome, In my experience, people seek counseling for many different reasons. Although life can be challenging and sometimes difficult, I believe that with support and effective strategies, we can all find a way to thrive in any situation at any stage of life. There are times when we need help processing losses and painful situations as well and I believe therapy can help anyone find relief from pain in these distressing situations. Through non-judgmental and supportive listening it may be possible to help you identify the causes of your distress as well as to explore strengths you can use to improve your overall sense of well-being when life’s difficulties confuse and overwhelm you. The use of long term and short term goals can also be very helpful for anyone in determining treatment strategies and the direction of therapy. I have found Dialectical Behavioral Therapy to be very effective in strengthening self-esteem and confidence, as well as increasing independence, and in improving decision making, relationship health, emotion regulation, and a more positive mood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy can be very effective in helping you to identify and replace damaging, distressing and ineffective thinking patterns with those that can help you achieve your goals in life and improve your emotional health. My name is Toni Kooy and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Colorado. I have been working in the substance abuse and mental health field since 2004. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology and a Master’s Degree in Counseling, both, from the University of Colorado. I have worked with clients primarily, in the rural and urban community mental health center setting and have worked with a variety of clients from the age of 4 years old to the age of 80 years old . I have extensive training and experience with clients who struggle with problems related to mood and emotions as well as trauma and grief. I have received extensive training in trauma, which included EMDR. Thus, I have worked with many clients who were experiencing the symptoms of trauma in my past employment. In the past, I have worked as a musician, a construction worker, a nanny, a home-maker, and an assembly worker as well as my current 21-year career as a therapist, so I bring a varied and non-judgmental life perspective to the therapeutic process as well as a flexible schedule. You have already gained insight into your situation and have utilized strength to seek help. If you would like to continue in your journey toward a life in which you can thrive, I would be honored to join you in your walk.

Hello, my name's Jarod Johnson (JJ). I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor in the state of Texas with just over 6 years of experience working in a dynamic environment that has provided me with a broad range of opportunity to work with men, women, families, and a number of modalities that hinge on what I consider to be the most important aspect of my vocation...connecting authentically with people to work for the cessation of suffering. I say "vocation" because that's what the art of good therapy is to me and it's interwoven with who I am...it's meaningful and growth can be very satisfying even though it's uncomfortable at times. I've worked with people with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, to substance dependence, spiritual seeking, career challenges, and numerous other mental health needs. I also work with many people who have experienced physical, intellectual, sexual, emotional, and religious trauma. My counseling style is what is often called person centered and I embrace an eclectic approach that I feel promotes collaboration with the people I have the privilege of working with. What this means is I find more progress when we work together on where the turbulence in your life is and decide together how to get to a place of refuge within and movement in your life. While I can't fully sum myself up here I can say that I'm also trained in Spiritually Integrated Psychotherapy, certified as a tai chi/qigong instructor, an EMDR therapist, and recovered addict. To me all of that means I feel confident that we can work well together on finding workable solutions that engage the soul, mature one's emotional experience, and generally enrich life. If you're reading this you've probably already identified something that you want to address...even if it's that you "may" want to address it but just want to dip a toe in some solution to see how it feels. I honor the willingness to seek your best self, whatever that means to you. I'm open to walking with you in this season of that journey. Peace be with you until we meet!
