Grief counselors and therapists in Arvada, CO

I have been in the mental health field for over twelve years. My experience has allowed me to provide therapeutic services focused on those who have experienced trauma, family issues, lack of identity/purpose, and couples/relationship issues.

I’m a psychiatric nurse practitioner who works from the belief that people are not broken—and that many of the struggles we call “mental illness” make sense when we look at trauma, context, and lived experience. I’m especially attuned to the ways mental health systems, stigma, and labels can unintentionally cause harm, and I aim to practice in a way that feels respectful, collaborative, and deeply human.

My approach is unconventional and trauma-informed, influenced by perspectives like those of Gabor Maté, which emphasize compassion, curiosity, and understanding symptoms as meaningful responses rather than defects. I do not believe in rushing to pathologize the human experience. As Joni Mitchell once reflected about depression, sometimes what we’re feeling is not an illness to be fixed, but a signal—an honest response to pain, loss, or a world that has not been kind.

Hello and welcome! Here's a little synopsis of my professional background in therapy. I received my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Naropa University in the Mindfulness-based Transpersonal program. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado, where I see clients virtually and in person. I am trained in EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) from the Maiberger Institute in Boulder, Colorado. I am continuously curious and always learning. I am happy to share more once we establish a therapeutic relationship.

Hello. I am a clinical psychologist that has been practicing for ten plus years. I have had extensive training with evidence based trauma treatments.

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, or feel overwhelmed by the demands of life? Are you feeling burdened by past trauma? I work with individuals and families, from children to adults, who feel stuck, overwhelmed, and unsupported. Sometimes life's challenges—like family conflict, unhelpful coping patterns, or the lingering effects of trauma—can significantly strain your ability to find a clear path forward toward meaningful progress. Let's work together to acknowledge those struggles and find practical ways to feel better.

I’m Hannah Strege, MSW, LCSW, and the owner of Wonderfully Made Counseling, PLLC, where I provide compassionate, individualized therapy for children, adolescents, adults, and families. I earned my Master of Social Work from Baylor University and have experience providing behavioral health care within pediatric primary care.

My areas of focus include anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, adoption, embryo adoption, and concerns related to IVF and assisted reproduction. I have a particular passion for supporting adoptees, adoptive families, and individuals navigating the complex emotions, relationships, identity questions, and experiences that can accompany adoption and reproductive technologies.

I am also the Founder and CEO of Wonderfully Made Adoption Services International, a nonprofit dedicated to adoption education, advocacy, consultation, and support. My nonprofit work and clinical practice are separate, but both reflect my commitment to approaching adoption and family formation with compassion, ethical consideration, and a child centered perspective.

I believe every person has inherent dignity and a story worthy of being heard. My goal as a therapist is to create a space where clients feel genuinely known, respected, and supported as they pursue healing and meaningful change.
