My aim is to support people to live a present, engaged and fulfilled life. My clients feel stressed out to the point of feeling collapse; unworthy of love, overwhelmed and unheard. Many have PTSD from abuse /neglect as a child, impacts of generational/cultural/religious patterns, or traumatic events. My clients symptoms show up as anxiety, changes in mood, inability to regulate and/or navigate life. unresolved trauma, fear, depression, anger, grief, physical pain and chronic health issues.

Addressing life difficulties can be overwhelming, stressful and isolating. It takes a lot of courage to overcome your obstacles, but doing it alone may not be enough. I believe that building a strong connection is the most important thing in beginning to help you. It is important that you feel safe, understood and valued. I offer compassion, creative thinking and humor to help clients work towards their goals.

I am a clinical social worker/psychotherapist with 15 years of experience working in various mental healthcare settings. My post graduate training has primarily focused in the areas of trauma (developmental as well as medical) as well as perinatal mental health.

I have wanted to be a therapist since I was twelve years old after seeing a guru use his expertise to connect with a troubled child who had only known how to push others away. Over twenty five years later, I'm privileged enough to have found my own niche, working with individual adults address the impacts of trauma, anxiety, and depression. They have proven that the capacity to love and embrace life can be rediscovered, even for those who have lived through the unbearable.

I'm a Colorado native who loves the outdoors, travel, dabbling in the arts, and spending time with those I love. Sometimes, I am blissfully content just curling up with my geriatric cat and a good movie.

I'm a licensed therapist dedicated to supporting WOMEN, CHILDREN, ADOLESCENTS, and COUPLES through life’s challenges. Whether you're navigating depression, anxiety, PTSD, chronic stress, or emotional pain, you're not alone—and healing is possible.

My approach is compassionate, evidence-based, and tailored to your unique needs. I work with clients on a range of concerns, including emotional self-regulation, life transitions, trauma recovery, and the everyday difficulties that can feel overwhelming.

Therapy is a space for growth, understanding, and healing. Whether you're seeking support for yourself or a loved one, I’m here to help you move forward with strength and clarity.

Let’s begin the journey together.

I graduated with a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Regis University in 2019. I am a dually-licensed therapist holding both an LAC and LPC license in the state of Colorado. I therapeutically supports adults, adolescents, and children ages 10+. I specialize in substance abuse, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, relationship issues, PTSD, life transitions, and am a LGBTQ + ally.

I work with adults, and couples who struggle with the achieving their full potential. This often means working through anxiety and anger and learning how to clearly communicate your own needs and challenges. This personal work leads to understanding of the systems in which we all operate - family, work, school, and community.

Hi, I’m Raquel Perez, a Licensed Professional Counselor, and I believe healing begins with feeling truly seen and safe. I specialize in working with individuals and couples navigating depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, and sex therapy, always honoring the deeper wisdom within each person. It’s a sacred privilege to hold space for your journey — wherever you are, you don’t have to walk it alone.

Many of the people I work with are going through some kind of transition.

Sometimes that looks like anxiety that’s getting harder to manage, feeling stuck in the same patterns, or navigating changes in relationships, identity, or life direction. Other times it’s grief, stress, or a sense that something just isn’t working the way it used to.

You might find yourself overthinking, shutting down, or reacting in ways that don’t quite make sense, even to you. You may understand things logically, but still feel stuck emotionally.

My background is in clinical mental health counseling, and my work is grounded in approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). I also have advanced training in working with relationship dynamics, which often show up even in individual therapy.

Before becoming a therapist, I worked as a journalist. That still shapes how I work today. I pay close attention, listen for patterns, and help you make sense of your story in a way that feels clear, grounded, and meaningful.

I’m a trauma-informed therapist specializing in EMDR, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, and mindfulness-based interventions. I bring these approaches together to create a personalized path toward healing, supporting clients in reconnecting with their inner strengths, reclaiming a sense of agency, and moving toward a more grounded and fulfilling life.

You've probably tried talking about it. And talking helped, until it didn't.

Maybe you think deeply, feel everything intensely and still can't figure out why you keep ending up in the same patterns. You don't want another list of coping skills. You want to actually get yourself and understand where these patterns came from, why they stick, and how to finally move differently.

That's the work I am so passionate about.

I'm Caitlin! Therapist, art therapist, and someone who knows what it's like to carry a lot. Anxiety, self-doubt, patterns inherited from people who came before you, a creative inner world that doesn't always fit neatly into everyday life. I didn't just study this, I've lived it.

I hope to provide a space for client's to feel comfortable while attending therapy. I try my best to create a warm and welcoming environment.

I'm so glad you're ready to take action! Starting therapy is courageous. My goal is to walk alongside you and encourage you further. I consider my role as therapist an immense privilege, and seeing people grow and heal through therapy never gets old!

Like many of my clients, I struggled a lot and felt like life was harder then it should be. Having done the work of therapy myself, I am now a licensed professional counselor. Before entering private practice, I spent thousands of hours in various different practices working with clients that struggled with depression, and anxiety. I enjoy working with men, women and young adults (18-45). I've found that undiagnosed neurodiverse clients and folks with traumatic family backgrounds are frequently attracted to me and so I've been putting more emphasis on study and research in these areas.
