I am a Licensed Master Social Worker specializing in depression, anxiety, trauma, autism, life adjustments, and self-esteem for children, adolescents, and adults. In our work together, I'll help you navigate negative thought patterns and challenging life experiences. Demonstrating empathy and compassion is what led me into this field, and it's what helps me be the therapist my patients feel comfortable and secure working with throughout their healing journey. With every patient, I aim to provide a warm, safe, and therapeutic space for healing while prioritizing their comfort and needs, and I value receiving feedback and collaboration along the way. Seeking help isn’t always easy, but I believe it's never too late to start your journey of healing, growing, and changing. Together, we'll build a warm, comforting, and safe environment where that healing can happen. Within that space, I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help you accept difficult feelings and thoughts, transform negative thought patterns, learn new coping skills, and create changes to behavior patterns that lead to healthier and happier experiences. Mental health is something I'm passionate about, which is why I always ensure an empathetic, holistic, accepting, and supportive approach tailored to your unique needs, challenges, experiences, and goals. My path to becoming a therapist began with my career as a Registered Behavior Technician, where I gained four years of experience working with autistic children and adolescents, teaching communication, social skills, emotional regulation, problem-solving, and strategies for reducing challenging behaviors. This experience deepened my commitment to providing mental health services to a variety of different populations with many different problems. My clinical experience has also included work with patients at inpatient mental health facilities, children's advocacy centers, and hospice settings, supporting patients and their family members. These experiences have given me a well-rounded foundation in the counseling field, along with the skills to work with a broad range of patients and mental health struggles. During my free time, I enjoy exercising, hiking, exploring nature, and discovering new cities and adventures. On quieter days at home, I like watching my favorite shows, reading books, and cooking and baking.

We are an inclusive counseling and wellness practice specializing in providing quality affirming evidence-based therapy for adults, couples, families and groups in Colorado, Maine, and Texas. We emphasize a caring, collaborative, and holistic approach that will help encourage and guide our clients in their journey through life. The foundation of our practice is built on providing accessible mental health therapy, especially to those in the LGBTQIA+ community, allies, and others on the margins of society who desire to be seen, understood and valued. It is our belief that every person has unique value and deserves to be treated with unconditional kindness, dignity, respect, and acceptance. You are welcome here!

My style of counseling is highly relational, down to earth, and nonjudgmental. I will encourage you to make positive steps towards growth and healing as we process life together. In my work with teen and adult clients I focus mainly on relationship issues, depression, anxiety and fear, stress, self-esteem, and life changes. You have taken a brave step to find support for yourself and I hope I can be a good fit for wherever you are on your journey.

Finding a new therapist can be overwhelming. I'm so glad you're here! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who provides compassionate, evidence-based care for college students struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, identity exploration (including LGBTQ+ affirming care), and life transitions. Many of my clients are often struggling with confidence, setting boundaries, and being in touch with their feelings and needs. I love supporting young adults who are navigating changing relationships, whether it is navigating new and old friendships, reconfiguring relationships with parents and/or figuring out how you want to show up in romantic relationships. As a multiracial woman, I can empathize with students of color and members of other groups facing obstacles related to systemic oppression, and I strive to create a space where every part of your identity is honored and supported. I form genuine connections with each of my clients and develop a true partnership to address challenges while celebrating growth and progress along the way. I provide a balance of space to process thoughts and feelings while also offering practical tools to support change. You can show up how you need to in a safe, warm and non-judgemental space. I grew up in Ann Arbor, Michigan but spent the last few years in Denver and have recently moved back to Grand Rapids. When I'm not working I love yoga, running, baking and spending time outside. I'm accepting new clients and happy to text/talk to see if I can be a good fit for what what you need. I accept BCBC, BCN, BCN Advantage, cash-pay and have some sliding scale appointments. Feel free to reach out and I hope I can be a support!

I am a board-certified psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner and Doctor of Nursing Practice based in Boulder County, Colorado. I provide psychiatric care that is collaborative, evidence-based, and deeply personal — helping individuals reconnect with balance, purpose, and confidence. My background spans acute physical rehabilitation, memory and behavioral health, and outpatient psychiatry. I’ve also served as adjunct faculty at the University of Colorado College of Nursing, where I taught mental health nursing across the lifespan and trained future nurses to approach care with empathy and curiosity. I founded Jamie McCartney Psychiatry PLLC to create a space where patients feel genuinely seen and supported. My practice integrates medication management, psychotherapy collaboration, and lifestyle psychiatry to address the full picture of mental health.

Are you feeling like something isn't quite right with you? Do you feel overwhelmed with daily life, while it seems like everyone else is doing just fine? It's not uncommon for people to struggle with past trauma, anxiety, or high levels of stress, which can make it challenging to cope with daily life and enjoy it. If you're at this point, know that you're not alone, and there is support available to you. As a therapist, I specialize in working with women, those in the LGBTQ+ community, and others who are seeking a safe and accepting space to heal. I understand that it can feel like you're trapped in the past, or that depression and anxiety are weighing you down, but there are effective treatments that can help you feel better in a matter of weeks, not years. My approach includes HeartMath, a program focused on finding balance and inner peace, as well as written exposure therapy, which is an evidence-based, gentler version of more intense trauma therapies. These techniques can help you feel more energy, freedom, and peace in your daily life. I know that starting therapy can be intimidating, which is why I work at your pace and provide a safe and supportive environment. If you're interested in learning more about how I can help, please visit my website to schedule a free consultation. You deserve support, and I'm here to help you on your journey to healing.

My goal for you is to provide a safe space that allows you to explore those areas of your life that are hindering you showing up as your best self. My practice style is one of a whole person approach, taking into consideration your own personal world, the interactions, challenges, successes and your supportive relationships. My practice approach is tailored to your needs and may include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, EMDR/ Trauma Therapy, Goal-Oriented Brief Therapy, Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy, as well as yoga and meditation if that resonates with you and your path of healing. I practice from a non judgmental perspective and provide a safe environment to facilitate healing. Whether you are dealing with anxiety, depression, feeling stressed and unbalanced or the loss of a loved one or relationship, I can help you work through challenges and develop goals to become grounded again. The path to becoming whole again can often take someone walking beside you and encouraging you, while facilitating the exploration of your own solutions. You know deep down in your heart of hearts what it is you may need, and I am here to help you draw on that inner resiliency, providing tools and skills that you can take with you as you face life head on.

Are you feeling depressed? Do you or a loved one struggle with substance use? Do you want to make changes, but find yourself doing the same thing over and over again and not know where to even start? Maybe you're at a loss on how to move forward. I can help you get unstuck and navigate complex issues. We all need strategies to focus on what matters most to us. My intention is to create a safe space for you to talk openly, feel understood, and unburden yourself from intense emotions. Together, we will develop a plan to move forward so that you can take the next steps towards healing and restoration.

Hi, I'm Christine! I primarily work with students in Fort Collins and the Northern Colorado area. I come alongside students who are navigating anxiety, self-doubt, relationships, identity, academic or life transitions, and the everyday pressures of being a young adult. I also support students struggling with self-esteem and body image. You may look like you’re doing fine on the outside while feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, or emotionally exhausted on the inside. You may be questioning yourself, overthinking your decisions, struggling to understand what you’re feeling, or simply wishing you had someone you could talk to openly. In therapy, I offer a supportive space to process what you’re going through, better understand yourself and your patterns, and work toward meaningful change.

I offer virtual (online) sessions only at this time. Some sessions can be made by appointment if openings are not noted on my calendar - just ask! Sometimes the anxiety and depression that come with life changes, trauma, relationship issues or job stress can be distracting and affect our ability to thrive. When people work through their thoughts and feelings, they often report feeling more clarity and a deeper sense of vitality and purpose. You can expect to be gently challenged to explore your experiences in a safe, kind and private space when you work with me. I've helped people find more confident self expression in decision-making and relationships. I've also had people report performing better in sports, school or the arts. Many people find themselves making better, more positive behavioral changes as they feel better emotionally. I use an eclectic mix of theories, often including psychodynamic work, in therapy to include the entire person: mind, body and soul. I try to educate and empower people to use practical tools they learn in therapy in realistic, lifelong ways. It takes courage to be vulnerable and acknowledge you'd like some help along this journey. I know because I've been there myself. Take the first step and I'll meet you there.

I specialize in helping healers, educators, and change-makers navigate life transitions with grace, focus their energy so they can save time, and solve problems creatively and inclusively while preventing or recovering from burnout. Young children I've worked with have also learned to use emotional regulation and communication techniques, helping them pause emotional escalation and improve relationship quality. I work with people of all backgrounds, with a particular focus on equity-minded patients navigating life transitions who want to solve problems creatively. Maybe you lost part of yourself in a relationship or a job; maybe you're depleted after a big challenge, or scared to take a big step. I can help you "tend and befriend" yourself, clarify what really matters, and empathize compassionately without losing yourself, so you can creatively play into this next chapter of your life. This belief in balancing presence in life with purposefully creating the life we want to live shapes me into a compassionate therapist who also invites growth opportunities. I look forward to helping you navigate life transitions and creatively design an empowered path forward in our work together. Much of my work centers on helping people understand the values and needs that drive their behavior, empathize with others, and collaboratively generate choices that align with their values and the values of those around them. My approach involves creating a space of unconditional positive regard, listening deeply, offering questions and perspectives that increase insight and peace of mind, and identifying small, meaningful steps you can take to create the transformation you're longing for. Working together, you can expect a caring, growth-oriented environment. I draw on a mix of humanistic, modern psychodynamic, Internal Family Systems, solutions focused, and narrative therapy, among others. This blend is meant to help you understand yourself more deeply, progress toward your goals, and understand others, in order to collectively work toward a more purposeful and equitable future. My style uses mindful presence and highlights opportunities for insight, and is tailored to your unique identity, strengths, and longings for a better world for yourself and others. My path to becoming a therapist began with studying Nonviolent Communication and learning about feelings, needs, and values, which improved my relationships with myself and loved ones. While teaching, a turning point came when I helped a second-grade girl who had suffered trauma. She was bright, but her emotional and social dysregulation got in the way of her learning. I built a relationship with her and taught her emotional regulation techniques, which she learned to apply during classes to reduce emotional escalation, and we worked together on empathy to improve her relationships. That experience left me more interested in social-emotional learning than academics, and I eventually went into life coaching for a few years before deciding I wanted to go even further in supporting psychological, social, emotional, and spiritual development. Today, I bring a whole human approach to each session, holding each individual as part of a wider social context where they can find the support to thrive. As a psychotherapy intern, I bring expertise as an Internationally Certified Life Coach, where I helped diverse patients using solution-focused therapy for more than 200 hours, along with more than 20 years of experience in Mindfulness, codependent recovery, and bilingual elementary school education. In my free time, I enjoy playing improv, hiking, nature photography, dancing, game nights, word searches, and sugar-free baking. I'm also passionate about advocacy, particularly around affordable housing, immigrant and transgender rights, and gender and income equity.

Hello! My passion is working with people interested in personal growth and I strive to collaborate with my clients in exploring unconscious and procedurally-based patterns that occur in relationship with self and others. I have served as a therapist to young adults and adults in the front range area for 10 years. Before opening my practice, I worked in community mental health and at CU Boulder's Counseling and Psychiatric Services Center. I work primarily from a contemporary psychodynamic lens and utilize a wide range of techniques including Internal Family Systems, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, narrative therapy, interpersonal/relational therapy, Self psychology, and Motivational Interviewing. I am also trained in MDMA-Assisted Psychotherapy through MAPS and am a published qualitative researcher on the MDMA-AT FDA trials. I am a cisgender woman currently residing on the stolen homelands of the Arapaho and Cheyenne, colonially known as Colorado. I identify as haafu and Japanese-American and I unjustly benefit from my East Asian heritage and proximity to whiteness, as someone who is able-bodied, and with financial and educational access. My sun and moon are in Cancer. I am passionate about matters of identity, race, culture, and social justice.

My practice is dedicated to creating a safe, compassionate space where clients can process their experiences, build resilience, and develop the tools necessary for healing. I specialize in trauma-informed care, helping individuals understand and manage the impact of trauma on their lives, relationships, and overall well-being. With a deep commitment to fostering emotional and psychological growth, I draw on evidence-based therapies and a client-centered approach to empower clients in reclaiming their stories. My goal is to guide individuals in transforming pain into strength, creating paths forward that are rooted in safety, trust, and self-empowerment. I believe that healing is not just about addressing the past—it’s about empowering clients to thrive in the present and build a future they truly deserve. I am passionate about providing culturally sensitive care that considers the intersectionality of race, gender, and socio-economic factors in each person’s experience of trauma. If you or a loved one are navigating difficult times, I would be honored to get to know you and explore how I can support your healing journey. Please feel free to reach out with any questions about my approach or how I can help meet your needs.

Hello, I am Octavia, and I know that college is an exciting chapter, but it can also feel overwhelming with academic pressures, social challenges, and the transition into adulthood. I specialize in supporting students who are navigating anxiety, stress, depression, and the emotional ups and downs that often come with this stage of life. Whether you’re struggling with motivation, feeling isolated, managing perfectionism, or working through past trauma, I provide a validating and supportive space where you can sort through challenges, learn to regulate emotions, and build healthier coping strategies. I draw from evidence-based approaches like CBT, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care in order to help students strengthen resilience, boost self-confidence, and create a more balanced, fulfilling college experience. I am licensed in Arizona and Wyoming and offer flexible and accessible sessions to fit into your lifestyle. You don’t have to go through this season alone. Hopefully, we can work together to help you move forward with clarity, confidence, and the tools you need to THRIVE.

Figuring out what we're thinking and feeling is an important task that can help us figure out how to go after what we really value. I help college students, especially men, identify their thoughts and feelings so they can pursue what they value and communicate more effectively with the important people in their life. I have almost 10 years of experience working with people to figure out what's important and pursue it in a way that builds confidence and improves well-being.

Fundamentally, my aim is to support my clients in contacting their inner self-knowing, and "make friends" with all of the various parts of themselves in the warmth and security of this inner space. To achieve this, I practice person-centered therapy, with a strong emphasis on somatic awareness. When working with clients, I am listening for "what wants to be heard" that day. In my view, I am a supportive and curious observer, and my job is to reflect back to my client what I am seeing. My style tends to be more direct, and I regularly encourage my clients to take ownership over their treatment and to trust themselves. In a first session with me, we explore where you've been, where you are, and where you would like to go. Often, I invite people to tell me their story and then describe their current situation. We will work together to assess what feels like the most supportive areas of focus, and will create some goals which guide our future sessions. During this process, however, you can still expect curiousity, empowerment, and validation. What's most important in any session is establishing a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship.
