Education and Training:

Master’s in counseling psychology, Colorado Licensure, numerous certifications and training in various mental health skills and approaches

Therapy and people continue to change and evolve. In addition to my educational degrees, I get additional frequent training to continue developing my skills and be prepared for those ongoing changes and challenges.

Choosing a therapist can feel like a daunting and vulnerable step, and I want to honor the courage it takes to begin. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I work with adults ages 25 to 85, bringing a long, richly lived life experience that allows me to meet you with steadiness, perspective, and compassion. My approach is grounded in unconditional positive regard—I believe you are worthy of respect and understanding exactly as you are. I can’t fix anyone, but I am very good at helping people heal themselves from the wounds life brings and to navigate the changes that shape us all.

Hello, my name is Becky. I have my master's in clinical social work and am currently obtaining my hours for licensure as an addiction specialist. My job is to listen, guide, and support you as you navigate through healing and growth. If you're ready, I’m here to serve and celebrate with you through your journey.

I know that reaching out for help takes courage — and I want to make that process as simple and comfortable as possible. My practice focuses on anxiety, depression, and addiction, and I believe real progress happens when you feel heard and respected every step of the way. I take time to understand what's going on in your life before we talk about next steps, whether that's medication, therapy, or both. My goal is to give you clear information and practical support so you feel more in control of your mental health.

Hello, I am Jenny Agbortogho, a licensed psychologist with over 20 years of experience in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). While I have worked with a wide range of clients, my focus is with individuals who struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, and co-occurring substance use difficulties. With a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology and training in motivational interviewing, trauma-informed care, and strengths-based treatment, I value the interpersonal connections that are made within therapy sessions. I also have expertise in developing healthy lifestyle patterns and have seen the power of mindfulness and self-compassion in helping people improve their lives.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Licensed Addiction Counselor (LAC) providing telehealth therapy to adults throughout Colorado. I believe healing begins when we become curious about the stories we've been carrying and the experiences that shaped them. My role is to provide a compassionate, collaborative space where you can safely explore those patterns, reconnect with your authentic self, and create lasting change.

I specialize in working with adults experiencing PTSD and complex trauma, developmental and attachment trauma, dissociation, anxiety, depression, substance use and harm reduction, identity exploration, life transitions, grief, chronic health conditions, and LGBTQIA+ concerns. I also support clients interested in integrating insights from plant medicine experiences into their healing.

My practice is trauma-informed, culturally humble, and affirming of people from all identities and backgrounds. I know that beginning therapy takes courage, and I strive to create a space where you feel genuinely seen, respected, and supported.

My primary focus is working with adolescents, families, and adults, though I have a range of experience working with people of all ages and many different demographics. In particular, I have a strong background in working with at-risk youth, kinship caregivers, and foster/adoptive families. I also have a background of working with young adults transitioning to independent living, as well as adults of all ages.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Colorado, and have been practicing as a therapist since 2022. Prior to this, I worked with youth, adults, and families in a variety of case management roles, including in schools, domestic violence shelters, shelters for those without housing, and families experiencing various systems involvement. This has given me an understanding of the many challenges life can bring, and equipped me with the tools to support you in navigating various barriers and difficulties.

With an extensive background spanning the full continuum of care—from outpatient services to long-term inpatient mental health—I have dedicated my career to supporting individuals across a vast spectrum of life experiences. My professional journey has been shaped by the guidance of exceptional mentors and supervisors who have instilled in me a commitment to continuous growth as a provider.

I have had the privilege of serving a wide range of populations, including:

• Adolescent mothers and youth in the foster care system
• Individuals within youth corrections
• Military veterans and those navigating the complexities of post-service life
• Survivors of domestic violence in recovery
• The geriatric population and adults navigating significant life transitions

I believe that true healing and growth begin with authenticity. Long before it became a trending term, I sought to show up as my authentic self in every room—whether presenting to a leadership team in a government agency or sitting one-on-one with a client late into the evening.

My style is rooted in transparency. I recognize my own strengths and deficits, a practice that keeps me grounded and humble while giving me the confidence to face life’s most daunting challenges alongside my clients. I don’t believe in a "one-size-fits-all" approach; instead, I meet my clients exactly where they are, viewing them as the true experts of their own lives.

I am currently accepting new clients. Hi there, I’m Alisha. If you’re looking for a therapist who is down to earth, easy to talk to, and genuinely in your corner, I’d love to work with you. After 11 years in the mental health field, I’m excited to be back in private practice and to support you wherever you are in life. I work with both teens and adults, and our time together will always be shaped around you and what you need.

Hello! I'm Idowu Mary Oni, a Board-Certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) committed to delivering personalized, compassionate mental health care. With a strong foundation in nursing, I specialize in supporting individuals as they navigate mental health challenges and work toward greater emotional well-being. I'm honored to be part of your journey and look forward to helping you reach your goals with care and understanding.

I have been a counselor for 40 years, working with individuals, couples, families and groups with psychological as well as addiction issues. I have extensive experience in inpatient as well as outpatient settings. I am eclectic in my evaluation and treatment methods, which gives me flexibility to treat individual needs. Primarily, I use cognitive-behavioral techniques. Many of my clients suffer with depression, anger, and anxiety (panic attacks, obsessive-compulsive disorder); all of which impact potential addictions. I also treat couples and families to better understand their dynamics and to improve their communication skills.

My background consists of psychological testing and understanding personalities. This has helped in my work with children, adolescents, & families. I enjoy working with gay and straight couples, to help them with empathy and communication. I do extensive cognitive work as well as teaching techniques with people suffering from anxiety, anger, and addictions.

I encourage self-awareness to stimulate one's potential. Understanding oneself is essential to reducing anxiety, depression & anger (and in improving relationships). I teach relaxation, meditation, & self-hypnosis techniques to improve personal balance. I guide couples and families to improve relationships through empathy, acceptance, and communication.

My ideal clients are seeking deeper connections but feeling held back by intimacy issues, relationship patterns, anxiety, depression, or trauma. You might feel disconnected from your partner, overwhelmed by intrusive thoughts, or stuck in cycles that no longer serves you. In our work together, you don't have to hide any part of who you are. I provide a grounded, entirely non-judgmental space centered on authentic human connection. Together, we explore what is keeping you stuck and build practical, compassionate paths toward relational understanding, emotional stability, and personal healing.

I’m Thomas Moore, LPCC, a licensed professional clinical counselor providing therapy for individuals navigating anxiety, trauma, emotional overwhelm, identity development, and complex relational patterns. Many of the people I work with feel stuck in repeating cycles such as overthinking, people pleasing, emotional shutdown, intense reactions, or difficulty maintaining stable relationships even when they logically understand what they should do. My goal is to help you translate insight into real change.

My approach is structured and compassionate. I integrate evidence based methods including cognitive restructuring, emotional regulation training, interpersonal effectiveness skills, and trauma informed therapy. Sessions focus on understanding why your brain reacts the way it does and building practical tools you can actually use outside the therapy room. This is not only about talking through problems but learning how to respond differently when they show up in real life.

I work well with clients who want more than passive support and are ready to build skills, increase self awareness, and interrupt patterns that no longer serve them.

What clients should know before starting

Therapy with me is collaborative and active and you will learn strategies rather than only venting. We will work on understanding both the emotional and neurological side of your reactions. Sessions focus on present day functioning while also addressing past experiences that still affect you. I may gently challenge patterns when it supports growth while maintaining a supportive and respectful space. Progress often comes from small repeated changes rather than sudden breakthroughs.

If you are looking for therapy that combines validation with practical change, we will likely work well together.

Welcome! I want to hear your story! I can’t answer all life’s tough questions, but I can sit with you and guide you to find your own answers. I believe the emotional strains we've experienced are too heavy to carry alone. Everyone’s story is worthy to be told and heard. My ideal client knows there are some things holding them down and is ready to identify them and move forward in freedom. Whether you work with me or other providers, I’m excited for your journey ahead. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor who uses holistic approaches, integrating Cognitive Behavioral Techniques, and Humanistic techniques.

Outside of therapy, I’m a lifelong learner, a big sports fan, and someone who finds grounding in working out, good food, and live music, reminders that joy and connection can exist alongside life’s hardest moments.
