I am excited to work with folks 12+ who don't want therapy to feel like a doctor's office. I have experience working with anxiety, low self-esteem, disconnection, and trauma, as well as folks navigating difficult diagnoses and changing life circumstances that leave them feeling stuck, afraid, or alone.

"What matters more than what you know is how much you care" is a phrase I took with me from one of my professors in Grad School. I believe that statement embodies who I am and what I bring to the practice - lots of care! With that said, I have been in practice either working in both alternative and traditional high schools, as a school-based therapist in a facility school for students with special needs, and/or in the private setting since 2016. I have worked with a wide range of ages and populations, not just kids/teens but adults too! My experience includes helping those struggling with depression, anxiety, ADHD, divorce/parenting/blended families, grief/loss, sexual abuse and other traumas, autism, intellectual disabilities with co-occurring mental health diagnoses, immigration issues, and even college/career counseling. I really enjoy working with all ages! I was a double major at University of Northern Colorado, studying both School Counseling and Clinical Mental Health. I completed all of the coursework for both tracks and the School Counseling internship, graduating in May 2017.

Hello! I am a licensed mental health professional dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with greater clarity, balance, and confidence. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices, with the goal of creating a safe and supportive space where clients feel heard, seen, respected, and empowered.

I earned my degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Colorado, in Colorado Springs and have 7 years of experience working with individuals from diverse backgrounds. Throughout my career, I have worked in non profits, community clinics and private practices supporting clients through a wide range of emotional and psychological concerns.

I specialize in working with adults struggling with anxiety, depression, life transitions, relational issues, grief, self-esteem, women and survivors of Domestic Violence

My therapeutic style integrates CBT, TF-CBT, Psychodynamic therapy, mindfulness, and trauma informed care. I tailor treatment to meet each client’s unique needs and goals.

I believe that meaningful change happens when clients feel understood and supported. Whether you are seeking help for a specific concern or looking to better understand yourself, I am committed to walking alongside you on your path toward growth and healing.

I started out working in college sports as a trainer and eventually began consulting with athletes and coaches after graduate school. My career path later took me through 10 years with an ambulance service, 2 years as a community service officer and 4 years as a crisis counselor embedded with a police department. I've also spent a considerable amount of time teaching psychology as a college professor. Because of this rather unique skill set, I have a heart for athletes, rescue workers and students.

Hi! I'm Michael Banwart. I am a licensed clinical psychologist, and it's my goal to provide a compassionate environment to grow and heal. I specialize in treating anxiety, trauma, interpersonal problems, and emotional difficulties.

Have you ever found yourself wondering, "Is this really the happiest I'm ever going to feel?" Maybe life looks good on paper, but something feels off, yet you can't quite name it. If that resonates, you're in the right place.

I'm Tobi Brenner, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and National Certified Counselor (NCC), and the founder of EmpowHer Counseling, a telehealth therapy practice built specifically for women navigating the full complexity of modern life. This is a space where you are seen, heard, and never judged.

Before becoming a therapist, I spent more than 20 years in corporate America across IT consulting, business operations, and human resources, where I became known as the "relationship girl." I understand the world career-driven women live in because I lived it. My own experiences with career dissatisfaction, grief, weight cycling, and the weight of everyone else's expectations are what brought me to this work — and what keep me deeply committed to it.

I hold a Master's degree from the University of Colorado Denver and bring a warm, direct, and highly personalized approach to every client. I am proudly affirming and welcoming of all identities and backgrounds.

Specialties include: Anxiety & Stress, Life Transitions, People-Pleasing & Perfectionism, Self-Esteem & Personal Growth, Body Image, Grief & Loss, Relationship Issues, Career Challenges, LGBTQ+ Counseling, Sex Therapy, Depression, Trauma, and Family Conflict.

I serve adult women across Colorado via telehealth and am currently accepting new clients.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I believe placing mental health first is fundamental to achieving happiness and balance in life. Reaching out for support can be incredibly difficult, you deserve recognition for the real strength required to ask for help. I’ve been practicing since 2022, focusing on adults navigating life’s mental health struggles, with a concentration on grief, anxiety, self esteem, and relational issues.

I am not the expert on your life; you are. I won't tell you what to do; you decide your path. I prioritize helping my client discover the needs and desires that were always with them while also working to heal the pain that is hindering their ability to live the life they want. In sessions with me, you can expect that I will gently challenge negative thoughts and self-talk. I will encourage but never push you to seek out and explore changes that will improve your life. I will also inform your journey with the knowledge of psychology that I have acquired to help you better understand how your mind works and how to appreciate its unique attributes. Together, we will set goals personalized to you. This is your therapy and it is essential that your therapy is working for you.

I am trained in helping you (and the people you care about) to work through challenges in life like sensory issues, anxiety, depression, loss and grief, and trauma. My background includes training in trauma-informed expressive arts therapies and strengths-centered approaches so that we are supporting you living your best life.
