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!
Dr. Benjamin Ramey is a practicing psychoanalyst of the School of Psychoanalysis of the Forums of the Lacanian Field (IF-SPFLF) and adjunct faculty in the graduate school of psychology at Meridian University. He is a member of the Colorado Analytic Forum and serves on the publishing committee for Cuerno Verde Press, an independent publishing house that produces a clinically focused annual journal and translations from foreign languages of significant books on Lacanian psychoanalysis.
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.
I am client-centered in my approach, and I believe that treatment should be tailored to the individual client's needs and goals. I have training in multiple theoretical approaches, and am dedicated to helping clients heal from past traumas, rebuild their confidence and self-worth, and find meaning in their lives. I believe that although seeking therapeutic help can be intimidating, when we work together to create meaningful change, we can achieve increased life satisfaction and happiness.
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.
You’re here because something in your life feels heavy, confusing, or just off. Maybe you’ve been strong for everyone else for years and you’re finally wondering, “Who’s taking care of me?” Maybe you’re in a season where you feel anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns you can’t seem to break. You might look fine on the outside—but inside, you’re tired, disconnected, or longing for a real change.
I get it. Most of the client's I work with feel exactly that way before they reach out. They’re smart, capable, and resilient... but they’re also carrying a lot. Life transitions, relationships, trauma, people-pleasing, burnout, old coping habits—they add up. I help my clients' slow down, and understand what’s driving them.
I have been practicing 25 years. I have walked the path of life and its difficulties through lived experience
Each of us has experienced difficulties in our lives that have impacted how we see ourselves, others and God These experiences can result in anxiety, depression, grief, sadness and pain. Exploring these events from a holistic perspective allows us to find healing and wholeness-body, mind and spirit. I especially enjoy working with young adults, believing that the sooner we can be free from our skewed perspectives, the more we can walk in wholeness and health. A healed perspective allows us to make healthy choices for our future. I believe clients who have a safe place to share their story can find lasting healing.
I offer individual counseling. I am trained in EMDR. I am a wife, mom of four including an adult child with special needs, and a grandmother. I have experienced healing in many areas of my life and believe that healing and wholeness is possible for my clients!
I seek to help clients feel confident in their ability to make choices, learn healthy communication skills, and strengthen their relationships with others.
I have 30 years experience working with adults (ages 20-90+), adolescents, families, and couples. I have my master's degree in Psychology from the University of Colorado, Boulder and I obtained my license as a Professional Counselor in 1996.
I’m a therapist who specializes in working with individuals navigating chronic illness, complex trauma, and body image concerns. I offer a compassionate, collaborative space where you can explore your experiences, reconnect with your body, and build resilience at your own pace. My goal is to support you in finding relief, meaning, and a deeper sense of self-trust.
Krystal Nicole Shelton
Psychiatric Mental Health NP
Virtual & in-person • 5.4 mi away • Colorado Springs, CO
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.
We all have a manual that I call a life manual. This life manual was created over time from childhood experiences, transitions, emotional reactions, attachments, and traumatic events that may have occurred. When we meet someone, whether it be a co-worker, barista, or significant relationship, we continually respond and react from the frame work of our own life manual. Sometimes, that manual has created unhealthy reactions and expectations; the patterns that emerge leave us feeling lost or unfulfilled. Good news: You can create new patterns and start re-writing that manual for a healthy future.

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 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.
