I’m really glad you’re here.
Many of the people I work with are used to being capable, thoughtful, and strong for others, but inside, something feels off. You might be dealing with anxiety, depression, burnout, or a sense that you’ve lost connection with yourself. Sometimes it’s not just about what’s happening right now, but patterns that have been quietly shaping your life for a long time.
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Colorado, with over 20 years experience working across a wide range of settings, including community mental health, mobile crisis and co-response, skilled nursing, public health, and critical access hospitals. This background allows me to meet you where you are, whether you’re navigating everyday stress or something more complex, to bring both depth and compassion to our work.
I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, substance use concerns, life transitions (career, relationships, health, identity shifts), and the lingering impact of stress or past experiences.
Hello and welcome! I am a Master's level dual board certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. Medication management is my specialty, and supportive therapy is part of every visit. I have experience with veterans, adults with developmental and intellectual disabilities, TBI, severe and persistent mental illness, pregnant women, transient/low income populations, Indian Health Services, geriatrics, trauma, and LGBTQIA2S+ patients.
I am a person who understands the stress that comes with multitasking life's many responsibilities including parenting, work, a spouse, women's health, and the many other hats we sometimes wear. I know the familiar strain of working in the medical field, providing care for others while delicately balancing self care. I can appreciate the layers of complexity of being multicultural. I know the burden of military life with a military spouse (now retired!) and the impact of deployments on families, loss included. I know the heaviness of caring for a family member with special needs, and am well versed in many things life may throw our way. I would be honored to support you as you navigate the tougher paths in your life.
I'm Kathryn Konicek, founder and owner of Evolve Therapy & Consulting. I am dedicated to helping you cultivate the life you want—without judgment. Seriously, fuck judgment! Whether you're navigating intense life transitions, or recovering from trauma, I work to provide a safe, compassionate space where you can show up exactly as you are, with all the messy, real parts of your story.
I have found my own personal healing to be intimately connected to nature, and it is here that I believe that we can all begin to rediscover our intrinsic humanity and let go of those things that distract us from our higher selves. In my spare time, I work as an outdoor educator and manage my own private practice and guide Outdoor Retreats
I believe it is helpful and important to translate what is discussed in session and in telehealth meetings into lived experience and real change.
Hi, I’m Glenn Permar — a therapist, former school counselor, and U.S. Air Force veteran. I help teens and adults who feel mentally overloaded, anxious, or scattered find more steadiness, focus, and calm in their daily lives.
Many of the people I work with describe their minds as always “on” — juggling ideas, worries, and to-do lists that never seem to end. Whether it’s anxiety, ADHD, or burnout, that constant pressure can make life feel exhausting. Together, we slow things down and find what I call your “steady middle” — that balanced space between feeling overworked and feeling stuck, where your mind feels alert but grounded.
My approach combines evidence-based tools like CBT and mindfulness with a down-to-earth, collaborative style. You won’t find judgment or jargon here — just real conversation, practical strategies, and space to understand what your stress is trying to tell you.
Before becoming a therapist, I served in the Air Force and later worked as a school counselor and Social Emotional Learning Specialist during the pandemic. Those experiences shaped how I help people manage stress, build emotional resilience, and move through life with more confidence and calm.
If you’re ready to understand your mind, manage stress in ways that actually work, and create more balance in your life, I’d be honored to work with you.
If you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or constantly on edge, your nervous system may be working overtime - not because you're doing something wrong, but because it's trying to protect you. Together, we'll make sense of what's happening beneath the surface and build practical strategies to help you reconnect with yourself and your sense of agency.
Xin chào! I am a relationally-oriented Jungian depth psychotherapist with degrees from Pacifica Graduate Institute. I enjoy working with creatives, students of psychotherapy, and those dedicated to a life oriented toward meaningfulness.
Growth isn't about having all the answers; it's about having a safe place to explore the questions. I provide specialized online therapy to help you better understand yourself, navigate life's challenges, and build practical tools for lasting change. For the past 13 years, I've helped high-achieving adults, including professionals in STEM, aviation, aerospace, healthcare, and analytical fields, manage anxiety, stress, burnout, relationship challenges, identity questions, and life transitions with greater confidence and clarity.
I welcome individuals from all backgrounds and have a special interest in working with LGBTQ+ and multicultural communities. My approach is warm, honest, and collaborative. Together, we'll identify what's getting in the way, build on your strengths, and work toward the goals that matter most to you using evidence-based strategies tailored to your unique needs.
As a licensed provider, I am proud to offer virtual sessions for clients located throughout Florida, Colorado, and South Carolina. Reach out today to schedule a consultation.
Therapy should be accessible and affordable, you deserve to life a live free of self judgment and doubt. I offer a warm, affirming, and nonjudgmental space where you can explore all parts of yourself. My approach is collaborative, helping you to find skills and ways of thinking that actually make a difference. My role is to walk alongside you as you slow things down, make sense of what’s happening inside, and reconnect with your own clarity and voice.
Do you ever feel unseen, unheard, or like you carried responsibilities no child should have had to? If that resonates, you are not alone. I work with adults and couples who grew up with an emotionally immature parent and still feel the effects on their relationships, self worth, and sense of self. Together we will explore these dynamics and how they shape your life today, and I will help you build the insight, confidence, and self trust to move forward. I also support people through anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, life transitions, and the relationship struggles that come with all of it.
“Have you been carrying a lot, but haven’t had a place to truly unpack it?” I offer a client-centered, collaborative approach to therapy, creating a supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and respected. Sessions move at your pace, with a focus on understanding the root of what you’re experiencing—not just managing symptoms. I use evidence-based approaches tailored to each individual’s unique needs and experiences. I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, life transitions, and self-esteem. My work includes supporting adults from all walks of life, including veterans, LGBTQ+ individuals, men and women, human trafficking victims, domestic violence victims, high-acuity clients, and those receiving care at different levels of intensity. My goal is to help clients gain insight, build effective coping skills, and move forward with greater confidence and resilience.
Hello, dear one, and welcome. I'm so glad you're here. I help those who feel everything — the ones who need more recovery time than everyone around them, who've been called "too sensitive" or "too much" by people who never had to carry what you carry. You're not too much. Your nervous system is doing exactly what it was built to do. Many of my clients come to me with anxiety that won't quiet down, depression that's settled in like fog, trauma that keeps showing up in the body, or the kind of exhaustion that doesn't lift no matter how much they rest. For some, it's meant holding everything together — the high achiever, the one everyone calls for advice, the one who looks fine from the outside while running on empty. Burnout isn't a personal failing here. It's what happens when you've been rewarded for ignoring your own needs and limits for too long. For others, it's meant leaving a faith that no longer fits, questioning who taught them to distrust their body and intuition, or untangling the belief that they have to hustle harder, earn their rest, prove their worth, or make themselves small to keep others comfortable. If you see yourself in any of this, you're in the right place. Together, we start understanding what those experiences are trying to tell you, instead of treating them as something to fix. You aren't broken — you are responding to what was asked of you. We figure out what doing this differently could look like, at whatever pace feels right for you. Whatever brings you here, this is a safe, unhurried place to ask the questions you learned not to ask.
