Find a therapist in Colorado Springs, CO — covered by insurance

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!

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.

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.

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.

Hello, and thank you for stopping by! Whether you’re new to therapy or looking for a fresh start, I’m glad you’re here. I believe healing begins with feeling genuinely seen, heard, and understood. As a Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado with training in EMDR, I provide a warm, collaborative space where you can explore your experiences, process life’s challenges, and develop a deeper understanding of yourself.

I believe therapy is a collaborative process, and my role is to walk alongside you as you explore your story, identify your strengths, and create meaningful change. Together, we’ll work to understand the experiences that have shaped you, build self-compassion, and develop tools to help you navigate challenges with greater confidence and clarity. Whether we meet virtually or in person, I strive to create a space where you can show up as your authentic self without fear of judgment. We’ll move at a pace that feels right for you, honoring both the growth and the difficult moments along the way.

My approach is person-centered and strength-based, drawing from evidence-based approaches including EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I specialize in working with adults navigating anxiety, ADHD, perfectionism, burnout, trauma, life transitions, identity exploration, and healing from emotionally critical or invalidating environments.

Many of the clients I work with are thoughtful, driven individuals who may feel overwhelmed by the expectations they place on themselves or who are struggling to reconnect with who they are beneath the pressure, stress, or experiences that have shaped them. I believe you are the expert on your own life, and therapy can be a place to better understand yourself, strengthen your relationship with yourself, and move toward a life that feels more authentic and fulfilling.

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.
