Hello, I'm Liz! I have over 5 years of experience working inpatient, outpatient, and varying levels of severity. I enjoy getting to know people and be an extra ear to their troubles. I can be sarcastic at times, and consider myself a person talking to people!
I believe meaningful change begins with feeling understood. As both a therapist and Air Force veteran, I value authenticity, resilience, and the importance of genuine human connection. Clients often describe me as approachable, thoughtful, and direct when needed. I strive to create a space where you can show up as you are and feel supported as you work toward your goals.
I work with adults and older teens navigating addiction, trauma, co-occurring mental health concerns, and life transitions. I am experienced in supporting veterans, first responders, and those impacted by a loved one's substance use. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply ready for change, my goal is to help you better understand your experiences and move forward with greater confidence.
My journey began with a deep commitment to serving others, which led me to work within the Georgia state prison system. There, I honed my skills in providing support to those navigating difficult circumstances, gaining invaluable experience in crisis intervention and rehabilitation.
Following my time working in the prison system, I had the privilege of working with the U.S. Army, where I provided counseling services to military personnel and their families. As a military spouse myself, I understand the unique challenges faced by military families and am deeply committed to offering tailored support to help them thrive.
My career path then took me to Palmer Lake Recovery, where I worked with individuals struggling with addiction. This role allowed me to develop a deep understanding of the complexities of substance abuse and recovery, and I am dedicated to helping my clients achieve lasting sobriety.
Outside of my professional life, I find joy in spending time with my husband, sweet cocker spaniels, and my adult children. My family and pets bring me great happiness and balance, and I understand the importance of a strong support system in maintaining mental health.
I look forward to the opportunity to work with you and support you on your journey toward wellness. Together, we can navigate the challenges you face and uncover the strength within you to create a fulfilling and meaningful life.
I’m Dan Spadaro I work with adult men, women, adolescents and families who want to work, heal, and get unstuck. Many of my clients come to me feeling overwhelmed by relationship struggles, patterns of compulsive behavior, or a sense of being disconnected from life and relationships.
It’s an honor to walk alongside you.
I have been practicing 25 years. I have walked the path of life and its difficulties through lived experience
Growing up with 4 brothers and 2 sisters lead me to develop a strong and outgoing personality that carries into sessions; I am gently candid to help push people to their potential. My goal is to explore people’s values and encourage them to develop their strengths. I believe laughter is healing so I implement that frequently into sessions.
My passion has always been to empower others to live their fullest, most authentic lives. I believe that each of us holds the strength, wisdom, and resilience we need within—we simply need the space, support, and encouragement to uncover it. I’m driven by a deep desire to help others overcome self-doubt, reconnect with their inner voice, and build a life aligned with their values, passions, and purpose.

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’m a therapist who specializes in working with individuals navigating chronic illness, complex trauma, and body image concerns.

Hi, my name is Tami and I have 18+ years of experience specializing in working with adults around issues of trauma, depression, substance abuse, and anxiety.
I have been working in the field of Social Work since 1998. Over the years, I have lived and worked in many different states from the East Coast to the West Coast. I have worked with people in a variety of settings including college campuses, substance abuse treatment programs, the Special Victims Unit of the District Attorney's office, child welfare, crisis centers, and programs serving folks experiencing psychosis. All of these experiences have enriched my life and provided opportunities to learn and grow as a therapist.
I have also walked my own journey of recovery over the years and have had the pleasure of working with a number of caring and talented therapists and mentors who have helped me with my own healing. I am forever grateful to the role they have played in guiding and supporting me along the way.
We are all on a journey. Sometimes we have the honor of supporting others and sometimes we are honored to receive support. If I can be of support to you at this time, please reach out!

Find the right therapist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Colorado Springs
Searching for therapists in Colorado Springs starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Therapists may support people with concerns like anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, training, and approach match what you want to discuss. Bios can help you see whether a therapist uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, acceptance and commitment therapy, or family therapy.
In a mid-size city like Colorado Springs, you may find therapists in areas such as Old North End, Manitou Springs, Widefield, and nearby communities. Virtual therapy can also expand your options if office location, commute time, or scheduling makes in-person care harder to fit into your week. Beyond specialty, consider whether a therapist is accepting new clients, offers appointment times that work for your schedule, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand each therapist’s communication style, session structure, and experience with concerns similar to yours.
Therapy in Colorado Springs can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway makes that process easier by helping you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, show availability, and offer direct booking. You can browse therapists, review bios, check estimated costs, and book when you’re ready.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
