I’m a psychiatric nurse practitioner who works from the belief that people are not broken—and that many of the struggles we call “mental illness” make sense when we look at trauma, context, and lived experience. I’m especially attuned to the ways mental health systems, stigma, and labels can unintentionally cause harm, and I aim to practice in a way that feels respectful, collaborative, and deeply human.
My approach is unconventional and trauma-informed, influenced by perspectives like those of Gabor Maté, which emphasize compassion, curiosity, and understanding symptoms as meaningful responses rather than defects. I do not believe in rushing to pathologize the human experience. As Joni Mitchell once reflected about depression, sometimes what we’re feeling is not an illness to be fixed, but a signal—an honest response to pain, loss, or a world that has not been kind.
My name is Ashley Abbott, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have a diverse background working with children and families who have experienced abuse/neglect, within systems such as the foster care system, the juvenile justice system, inpatient, psychiatric residential treatment facilities, and outpatient settings I have provided direct support services in group homes, court advocacy, and a variety of therapy services such as group, family and individual. These experiences have equipped me with valuable skills in crisis management, de-escalation, family conflict resolution, and supporting individuals facing complex and challenging circumstances. With training in evidenced-based modalities, I can treat anxiety, depressive disorders, life transitions, relationship problems, suicidal ideation, and behavioral challenges. I am also trained to treat trauma and PTSD with EMDR. I am passionate about partnering with clients who are committed to personal growth and willing to actively engage in the therapeutic process. I specialize in working with adolescents, young adults and adults.
Do you struggle with persistent anxiety or depression? Do you have an adolescent with emotional or behavioral problems? Are you having issues with addiction? I've been assisting people in the Denver area for the past thirty years. I have worked in inpatient psychiatry and drug and alcohol rehabilitation, and I currently teach psychology and related subjects at the University of Denver. Although my clinical specialties are working with adolescents and addictive issues, I also work with individuals, couples, and families dealing with mood disorders, anger management, men's issues, and spiritual issues.
"I believe that clinical credentials are only part of the process of selecting a therapist. To that end, I offer a free fifteen-minute consultation to determine if I'm the right therapist for you."
I am currently accepting new clients. I’m so glad you’re here. Taking the step to reach out is often the hardest part, so congratulations on being here. I especially love supporting women navigating anxiety, depression, big life changes, postpartum, and the ups and downs of motherhood. After 15 years in this field, I know how much lighter life can feel with the right support, and I’d be honored to walk alongside you.
Hello! I am Jenny, a licensed professional counselor who has been practicing since 2015 as a therapist with adults. I also have spent 20 years working with kids in schools. Now, I work full time in private practice and love being able to connect with clients in this way. I graduated in 2005 with a MA in School Counseling from the University of Northern Colorado.
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 am a licensed psychologist with over 33 years of experience. I strive to provide a compassionate, integrative approach to mental health, helping adults navigate life's challenges by honoring the whole person.
Emily Biggs-Heisler, Ph.D., is a licensed clinical psychologist and the Clinical Director and Co-Owner of Mountainside Behavioral Health.
She has experience working with children, adolescents, and adults in clinical, research, and testing settings and is intensively trained in brief suicide prevention interventions, cognitive behavioral and trauma-based therapies, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).
Dr. Biggs-Heisler provides individual, family, and couples therapy. She teaches DBT skills groups, provides supervision to staff and trainees, and works with clients who are twelve years old and above.
My goal is to provide you with a safe, emotional space where you will feel comfortable, relaxed and know that you are being heard. I want you to be able to express yourself freely without any fear of judgement. Healing takes place when you are able to be open, honest and vulnerable. Throughout my practice, it has been an honor to help facilitate extraordinary transformation in the lives of my clients. Believe me when I say that, “Anything is possible,” as I have witnessed my clients overcome trauma, grief, depression, anxiety and hardcore drug addiction.
Often, our feelings of shame, hurt and fear rob us of the opportunity to experience true joy and fulfillment in our lives. Do you find yourself running from these feelings or always fighting against them? Instead, I can help you embrace them and work through them. It is through this process of transformation where you learn to find acceptance, meaning
and purpose in your life. This leads to living with self-authenticity, and this is when you experience true joy and fulfillment. I look forward to being your catalyst for change. Together, we will take this journey and progress at your own pace. I encourage you to take the first step and make an appointment. Your life is worth it!

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.
