Therapists Beginning With P in Colorado

Hello and welcome! I believe it is my role as a therapist is to guide you as you take steps towards positive life changes, healing, and a healthy mind. I meet clients where they are and am here to help you meet your goals. My philosophy is that healing lies within our connection to others. Together, we can explore what may be holding you back from being your authentic self and can identify core areas that need to be healed for you to create fulfilling relationships. Our therapeutic relationship acts as a soft-landing place in an oftentimes harsh world, as well as a space for education, empowerment, and authenticity.

Hey y'all! I am queer, Black/African-American and Native Indigenous a part of the Cheroenhaka (Nottoway) Indian Tribe, neuroqueer (autistic), cis-gender, and currently abled-bodied. I am currently a candidate of a masters program and intern therapist.

If your relationship feels stuck, I will help you identify & change harmful patterns before you feel hopeless. We'll build on your strengths and history. Afraid of replicating your parents' marriage? We'll explore your fears, improve communication, & work toward more effective solutions. Plan to move in together? Get married? Change jobs? Have a baby? I can help you prepare now for the typical (& your unique) stressors that come with those changes instead of feeling blindsided by them & trying to pick up the broken pieces later. Communication, intimacy, & sexual satisfaction can all be strengthened with some intention & time.

Have you ever felt lost, sad, confused, or overwhelmed, no matter how hard you tried? Whether it is moving, or adjusting to the precipitating stressor of life transition; know that change is temporary. These situations often make us feel lost, confused, and alone in our journey. If our paths cross here today, I want to let you know that I’m here to help you.

As a dedicated addiction counselor, I bring a unique perspective to my practice - not only professional expertise but personal experience. Having navigated my own journey of recovery, I understand the complexities, challenges, and triumphs that come with overcoming substance use disorder. This firsthand insight fuels my passion for guiding and supporting others on their path to recovery. I believe in the transformative power of empathy, compassion, and resilience, and I am committed to walking alongside my clients.

Looking for a good psychologist is hard and actually finding one is even harder. This is probably because understanding people, why they are struggling, and how to help takes hard work. Real change requires more than any quick fix or simple solution can offer. If you’re continually struggling in life, it might be time to look beyond the surface and explore the root of things. I will work with you in a depth-oriented manner that aims to deepen your self-understanding and create important and lasting change.

I am honored to be considered to help you with your current life experience. I use mindfulness, body-centered awareness, and intuition to help my clients deepen their own healing process. I believe the difficulties you are experiencing are opportunities to grow and heal the patterns that no longer serve you. I believe you are the expert in your life. Together we uncover your true knowing and create solutions from a place of strength, allowing you to move forward on your life path. It takes courage to heal and step into the fullness of who you are meant to be. The therapeutic relationship can support you in this.

I believe life is a playground, not a prison. This truth is hard to remember when most of us are suffering so deeply from trauma. I provide a space for people to heal from their pain and be fully witnessed, so they can healthily attach, love, play, feel, and enjoy life again. I work through a systemic lens that takes the onus off the individual and puts the focus on the oppressive systems at hand. One of the core tenets I work by as a therapist is equalizing power dynamics within the therapeutic container. I am here to help you remember and rediscover your power.

I have always had a genuine interest in the uniqueness and well-being of others. I believe that we can all grow from the situations we have experienced. Whether that experience be divorce, abuse, addiction, or trauma of some sort. Our brains & bodies have a way of healing themselves through processing. Certain experiences can cause us to feel alone, anxious, sad, depressed, unmotivated, angry, violated, exposed, and at times emotionally unstable. Here in therapy I walk the journey with you as we work through emotions, gain insight, and create more beneficial perspectives. I provide a space of safety, understanding, and compassion.

Whether you are new to therapy, have found yourself stuck in previous therapy or are somewhere in between, welcome! I work to support and nurture those experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD challenges, trauma, substance use, stress/burnout, life transitions, relationship issues, self esteem, or a lack of sense of self. Many of us have felt a sense of invalidation in our lives and currently struggle with reaching our goals or becoming their true potential selves. Through my 18 years working in the field, I've developed a style that is balanced between being validating and nurturing along with being direct and challenging.

I have spent my career working with adolescents, young children, and their families. I started my career as a high school English teacher, but quickly realized my passion for mental health and helping adolescents manage their mental health in order to learn and engage fully. Inspired by my teaching experience, I pursued a Master's degree in Mental Health Counseling and transitioned from the role of classroom teacher to school counselor. I ultimately decided to leave the school system to follow my heart and work full-time for Kairos Wellness Collective.

Families are facing so many challenges, and taking that step to seek outside help is vital and brave. Before looking for a therapist, you've likely striven to help your child or teen in other ways at home and school. My primary role as your child's therapist is to collaborate with you and your child/teen to clearly identify strengths and struggles, and come up with a game plan to build connection, confidence, and stability. I utilize cognitive-behavioral, DBT, and trauma-focused approaches that are proven to reduce depression, anxiety, emotion dysregulation, and interpersonal conflicts.

I specify in working with adolescents and adults on a variety of issues. I create a comfortable space for clients to explore their identity and work on their relationship issues. I have extensive experience working with the LGBT+ community exploring sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, as well as interpersonal relationship issues. Through my experience in child welfare, I have developed a trauma-focused lens to help clients work through their symptoms of anxiety, depression, and mood regulation to attain joy and fulfillment in life once again.

The quality of our relationships, with ourselves and with others, has a profound impact on our quality of life including our mental, emotional, social, environmental, and physical health. I have been clinically serving the relationships of children, adolescents, families, adults, and partners since 2018 within Colorado. I provide therapy for families, parents, partners, and individuals to support empowering them to address their needs related to relationship difficulties, family conflict, behavior change, identity, life transitions, trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use, and needs unique to LGBTQIA+, adoption, and foster care.

As a therapist and women’s life coach l believe healing is possible and within reach, I know this intimately. As I found my wholeness, I found my way back home to myself. I learned to embrace the journey of having fierce self love; it is a conscious relationship with self that is sacred and ongoing. I believe that you too deserve to walk knowing your worth and to experience deep self love. I believe you are powerful in creating the life you desire. I honor your pain, your bravery, your healing and your giving birth to a new YOU!

Seeking counseling is a courageous step. I consider it a privilege to journey along side you and your life transitions, helping to guide you. Together, we can navigate your transitions with optimism and hope. I am an extremely compassionate, non judgmental person. I value a collaborative approach. You deserve to be happy. I have worked in the criminal justice system with juveniles, adults and then drug diversion programs. I really enjoy helping people find meaning and their life path. As well as heal wounds or trauma to allow you to live your best life.

I believe therapy can be an extremely vulnerable experience. I take a holistic approach to therapy, recognizing and empowering the mind-body connection. I believe my clients are the expert of their life, and my role is to provide support and a safe environment to meet them where they are at. I work with individuals and couples who are dealing with anxiety, relationship issues, family dynamics, and trauma. My goal is to empower my clients to practice self-compassion, lean into vulnerability, strengthen resilience, and create a meaningful relationship with self and others.
