Hi! My name is Jenn! I believe that healing begins with feeling truly seen, heard, and accepted. Throughout my own life, I have experienced some dark and difficult seasons, and it's those that brought me to this field of work and shaped the therapist I am today. Life has taught me the importance of kindness, compassion, open-mindedness, and the power of having someone beside you when life feels overwhelming.

I've worked with a multitude of diagnosis and in many practice settings. My current focuses are addictions, anxiety, depression, chronic illnesses, trauma, and eating disorders. Really, I am here to create a space to learn how to navigate life a little softer.

“How we relate to whatever we're experiencing is even more important than the experience itself " -Bruce Tift

I believe we all have a natural impulse towards evolution and health. Through training and discipline we can greatly accelerate this process.

Survival strategies needed in childhood, arising from our intelligence, are no longer appropriate and can cause unnecessary suffering. These outdated approaches are primarily unconscious. I provide a safe non judgmental space to get to know your patterns with an attitude of kindness. This awareness can give you the freedom to choose the direction you want instead of being driven by historical conditioning.

Pamela Fields

Pamela Fields

Therapist

Virtual • Lafayette, CO


I have been a counselor for 40 years, working with individuals, couples, families and groups with psychological as well as addiction issues. I have extensive experience in inpatient as well as outpatient settings. I am eclectic in my evaluation and treatment methods, which gives me flexibility to treat individual needs. Primarily, I use cognitive-behavioral techniques. Many of my clients suffer with depression, anger, and anxiety (panic attacks, obsessive-compulsive disorder); all of which impact potential addictions. I also treat couples and families to better understand their dynamics and to improve their communication skills.

My background consists of psychological testing and understanding personalities. This has helped in my work with children, adolescents, & families. I enjoy working with gay and straight couples, to help them with empathy and communication. I do extensive cognitive work as well as teaching techniques with people suffering from anxiety, anger, and addictions.

I encourage self-awareness to stimulate one's potential. Understanding oneself is essential to reducing anxiety, depression & anger (and in improving relationships). I teach relaxation, meditation, & self-hypnosis techniques to improve personal balance. I guide couples and families to improve relationships through empathy, acceptance, and communication.

Hi! I'm Molly. I love being a therapist and feel so honored to be trusted with the tender work of healing. I'm a licensed clinical social worker, which basically just means that I'm a therapist who looks at both the person and their relationship with their larger environment. I've worked with ages 1-70+, diagnoses across the board, and in a variety of settings - a psychiatric hospital, medical detox for substance use, community mental health, intensive outpatient, residential, and in-home. Maybe you've been in some of those settings yourself! Wherever your path has taken you, I'm happy to walk alongside you in this present chapter.

Shayna Weil

Shayna Weil

Therapist

Virtual • Colorado


What should your client know about you?

Hi, I’m Shayna Weil, MA, LPC — a professional counselor based in Colorado. Since completing my Master’s in Counseling and Art Therapy from Adler University in 2020, I’ve been dedicated to supporting others through life’s ups and downs. I know how heavy the world can feel at times, and I also know how healing it can be to feel truly seen, heard, and connected.

What is your approach to therapy?

I’m passionate about helping people grow, heal, and create more fulfilling lives. My approach is grounded in mindfulness, creativity, and practical skill-building to support lasting, meaningful change.

I primarily work with adults and understand how challenging it can be to unlearn old patterns from childhood. I bring patience, compassion, and trust in the process to every session, meeting clients where they are and walking with them at their own pace.

What can clients expect from their first session with you?

In our first session, I’ll take time to listen to what brought you in and get a sense of what’s been feeling challenging or important for you lately. We’ll move at your pace, explore what you’d like to work on, and begin creating a plan together that feels supportive and realistic for your goals. My goal is to help you feel heard, comfortable, and hopeful about the path forward.
