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’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.
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.
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.
I am excited to work with folks 12+ who don't want therapy to feel like a doctor's office. I have experience working with anxiety, low self-esteem, disconnection, and trauma, as well as folks navigating difficult diagnoses and changing life circumstances that leave them feeling stuck, afraid, or alone.
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.
Hello! I'm Kayla, and I’m excited to be part of your journey. After spending over 13 years in education, I transitioned into the mental health field, earning my Master’s degree in Counseling and Human Services from UCCS here in Colorado Springs. I deeply believe that each person’s path to growth is unique, and I’m committed to supporting my clients with the therapeutic approach that best fits their needs. I’ve seen incredible healing unfold through the strong, authentic connections and relationships we build together. I’m here to walk with you every step of the way.
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.
Hi, I’m Laura and I specialize in helping women and teens heal from trauma, whether it shows up as anxiety, overthinking, people-pleasing, or feeling completely disconnected from themselves. I experienced trauma growing up and know firsthand how it impacts the whole body.
Through Somatic therapy, Brainspotting, and EMDR, I help clients release what’s stuck in their bodies and rebuild trust in themselves—because healing isn’t about “getting over it,” it’s about feeling safe again.
I've been in private practice for 20+ years. I treat teens and adults.I specialize in Marriage and Family concerns, addiction, eating disorders and Trauma/PTSD. I collaborate with clients on what will be useful to them to help clear what's getting in their way.

Are you a parent, pregnant, or thinking about starting a family? Or, are you in your late teens / early 20s and trying to figure out who you are as you head into adulthood? I'm passionate about the process of becoming - whether that's matrescence (the transition to motherhood & parenthood), or adolescence (the transition to adulthood). I have over 10 years of experience working with young people as an international/wilderness guide and clinician. My own experiences with pregnancy, postpartum and parenthood led me to seek out specialized training in supporting folks in this transition. Current openings for in-person therapy on Thursdays at my office located in South Denver near DU. Schedule a free consult call with me to see if it's a good fit!
I help highly sensitive persons navigate the stressors and challenges in the world to find their authentic self and a life worth embracing. Do you think deeply about the world, yourself, and those around you? Do you experience a profound sense of empathy, feeling more deeply than most people around you? Do you find challenges in communicating your inner most thoughts and feelings with others? Do feel lost and want to find a way to get back on track? I am here to guide you on your journey.
I am Betty Steer, a dual board-certified Family and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC) and a graduate of the University of Nebraska Medical Center. My mission is to change the conversation around mental health. Beyond my clinical practice, I am an active advocate for mental health. Choosing to prioritize your mental wellness is an act of strength. Whether you are seeking support for yourself or your child, you deserve a provider who treats you as a whole person, not just a diagnosis. I am currently welcoming new patients. You’ve carried this weight alone long enough—call or email me today to take the first step toward reclaiming your stability and joy
