Rex Tse

Therapist

Virtual • Colorado


Hi, do you struggle to relate to yourself and others? I am a trauma therapist specializing in loneliness, anxiety, and depression related to past trauma.


After working for years with folks who feel hopeless about their future happiness, I have come to realize that healing and wellness are usually more within our reach than we think. If you witnessed violence in the past, or feel misunderstood as a child and have a complicated relationship with your culture and family that prevents you from being who you are, we can find ease and wellness together.


It takes courage to challenge our traumas and become the person who relates in healthier ways. I am here to support you on that journey. Together, we will grieve what is lost and rebuild who you are.

I try every day to be an authentic human who loves and respects the individuality of all other humans. Being a clinical social worker for 25 years, is reflected in my personal values and faith system. My goal is to spread kindness like confetti which has spanned serving in Baltimore, Jacksonville, Atlanta and Eagle County, CO. I have a solution focused mindset, believe in the mind body connection and giving ourselves grace. Life is not always easy and sometimes we need short term professional support, some sunshine, a deep breath, a 20 second hug and some new found eyes on the situation.

Thomas Moore

Thomas Moore

Therapist

Virtual • Colorado


I’m Thomas Moore, LPCC, a licensed professional clinical counselor providing therapy for individuals navigating anxiety, trauma, emotional overwhelm, identity development, and complex relational patterns. Many of the people I work with feel stuck in repeating cycles such as overthinking, people pleasing, emotional shutdown, intense reactions, or difficulty maintaining stable relationships even when they logically understand what they should do. My goal is to help you translate insight into real change.

My approach is structured and compassionate. I integrate evidence based methods including cognitive restructuring, emotional regulation training, interpersonal effectiveness skills, and trauma informed therapy. Sessions focus on understanding why your brain reacts the way it does and building practical tools you can actually use outside the therapy room. This is not only about talking through problems but learning how to respond differently when they show up in real life.

I work well with clients who want more than passive support and are ready to build skills, increase self awareness, and interrupt patterns that no longer serve them.

What clients should know before starting

Therapy with me is collaborative and active and you will learn strategies rather than only venting. We will work on understanding both the emotional and neurological side of your reactions. Sessions focus on present day functioning while also addressing past experiences that still affect you. I may gently challenge patterns when it supports growth while maintaining a supportive and respectful space. Progress often comes from small repeated changes rather than sudden breakthroughs.

If you are looking for therapy that combines validation with practical change, we will likely work well together.

Hi, I'm Darrien. During my time as a therapist, I have seen the inter-workings of all levels of care, ranging from inpatient hospitalization to private practice.

Courtney Dunn

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Glenwood Springs, CO


When people begin therapy, they're often carrying more than anxiety, trauma, or relationship struggles, they're carrying years of trying to make sense of experiences that have shaped how they see themselves and the world. My goal isn't simply to help you feel better; it's to help you understand yourself differently. I believe the therapeutic relationship is the most important part of the healing process. While I draw from several evidence-based approaches, I prioritize connection over modality. Research consistently shows that the relationship between therapist and client is one of the strongest predictors of successful outcomes.

I strive to create a space where you feel genuinely known, challenged, and supported. Whether you're navigating trauma, anxiety, substance use, grief, relationship difficulties, perfectionism, or a major life transition, we'll work together to understand not only what is happening, but why.

My hope is that therapy helps you move away from shame and self-criticism and toward greater self-awareness, self-compassion, and a life that feels aligned with your values.
