I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside individuals as they navigate life’s challenges for more than 30 years, including 16 years as a Licensed Professional Counselor. I specialize in trauma, grief, anxiety, and addiction, and it has been an honor to support people through some of the most difficult and meaningful times in their lives.
I work with individuals who may feel overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, or uncertain about how to move forward—often carrying pain, patterns, or experiences they have held for a long time. Together, we work to better understand what may be getting in the way, build on existing strengths, and create meaningful steps toward healing and change. My goal is to help clients move forward in a way that feels empowering, authentic, and aligned with who they are and the life they want to create.
I have over 30 years of direct clinical experience. I work remotely at this time, and blend cognitive behavioral techniques with psychodynamic techniques, including dream work (if interested). I work with adults with a wide range of challenges. I cannot make your anxiety disappear; however, I can help you change your relationship to it.
My specialties include trauma, relationships, supervision, and medical issues. I will help you be more conscious of your thoughts, emotions, and body and thus reach your potential.
My previous education in biology and neuropsychology has provided me with knowledge that is invaluable, especially during trauma work. Because I find both Eastern and Western psychological practices useful, I integrate many tools and therapies into the sessions and tailor treatment to each individual.
Reaching out for therapy can feel like a big step, especially when you’ve spent a long time trying to manage everything on your own. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and supported without judgment. I believe therapy should be a place where you can be honest about what you’re experiencing while feeling empowered to make meaningful changes at your own pace.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship concerns, stress, and challenges related to substance use and recovery. I also have experience supporting military service members and their families and understand that the experiences that bring someone to therapy are often complex and deeply personal.
My approach is trauma-informed, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that you are the expert on your own life. Rather than simply telling you what you should do, I work alongside you to understand where you are, identify what may be keeping you stuck, and develop practical tools that fit your life and your goals.
Hi, I’m Devin. I’m happy that you’re here, and I want you to know that reaching out for support is a meaningful first step.
I believe therapy should feel welcoming, collaborative, and human—not like a job interview. My goal is to create a space where you can feel comfortable being yourself, explore your strengths, and begin building greater confidence in your ability to heal, grow, and move forward.
I work with individuals who are navigating several challenges in life such as depression, anxiety, trauma, stress, burnout, relationship or friendship challenges, and low self-esteem. Together, we can identify practical tools and coping skills that support your emotional wellbeing while also making space to understand the deeper experiences that may be contributing to what you are feeling.
Most importantly, I believe you should have a voice in your healing process. You deserve to feel supported, empowered, and more in control of your life. When you are ready, I would be honored to walk alongside you as you begin taking steps toward healing, redemption, and a stronger sense of self.
I am a neurodiversity-affirming, trauma-informed therapist who specializes in working with children, teens, and families. I have extensive experience supporting clients with autism, adhd, anxiety, big emotions, and challenging behaviors. I also enjoy providing parent support and coaching.
As a parent of 2 neurodivergent children, I bring both professional expertise and lived empathy to my work. I offer telehealth (primary) in-home, and community-based sessions so I can meet clients where they feel most comfortable.
If you're looking for a therapist who is down to earth, easy to talk to, and genuinely in your corner, I'd love to work with you. After 11 years in the mental health field, I'm back in private practice, and I see teens, adults, and seniors across Colorado and Wisconsin by telehealth. People come to me carrying anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, grief, anger, stress that will not switch off, family and relationship strain, substance use, and the weight of a chronic health condition. Our time together will always be shaped around you and what you need.
I'm Nicole Shelton, a double board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health and Family Nurse Practitioner (APRN, PMHNP, FNP). My experience in ICU and the ER informs my holistic approach to care. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, substance use, and trauma across the lifespan. As a military wife and mother, I emphasize lifestyle balance, encouraging patients to integrate nutrition and exercise. I am dedicated to breaking mental health stigma and advocating for veterans and those impacted by trauma, ensuring you feel seen, supported, and empowered on your journey.
I specialize in trauma therapy for adults, with extensive experience supporting survivors of sexual violence and other traumatic experiences. If you’ve been through something overwhelming, it can feel like a fog has settled over you, affecting every part of your life. You might find yourself overthinking, being on edge, shutting down, or feeling numb, even when you want to feel present and connected. Many people I work with feel stuck in this space and are unsure how to move forward. Together, we’ll work to understand and process your emotions, thoughts, and past experiences so they no longer hold the same power over you.
My approach is rooted in trust, empathy, curiosity, and genuine care. I believe that meaningful change begins in a safe, supportive relationship where you feel seen and understood. I strive to create an environment where you can explore your thoughts and emotions freely, without judgment. I have had experience working with all ages- spanning from private practice, community mental health, school social work / school based therapy, and residential treatment centers. While I love working with children and adolescents, I also provide space for adults and parents.
We have the power to create and to recreate our world through the process of our own thinking. Sometimes all we need is the right guide to help us discover and live that process. It has been my privilege to have served as such a guide. Specializing in the integrative cognitive-behavioral treatment of anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma, and related disorders, I bring a holistic orientation to my work by considering not just psychological factors, but environmental factors as well. Through this approach, coupled with a commitment to close collaboration between therapist and client in order to promote healing and change, I have witnessed extraordinary empowerment in my clients throughout the years.
I came to Clinical Social Work and psychotherapy at middle age, after a long and pretty successful career in the theatre. The same passion for understanding human behavior as an actor led me to seek my Masters in Social Work from Fordham University, graduating Suma Cum Laude in 2007. I have provided concrete social services to marginalized populations while starting and maintaining a small private practice since then. Just under three years ago, I went exclusively private and see clients full-time in virtual sessions.
Choosing a therapist can feel like a daunting and vulnerable step, and I want to honor the courage it takes to begin. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I work with adults ages 25 to 85, bringing a long, richly lived life experience that allows me to meet you with steadiness, perspective, and compassion. My approach is grounded in unconditional positive regard—I believe you are worthy of respect and understanding exactly as you are. I can’t fix anyone, but I am very good at helping people heal themselves from the wounds life brings and to navigate the changes that shape us all.
