Allison Morris

Therapist

Virtual • Denver, CO


I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Colorado who works with individual and couples. I offer therapy to treat symptoms of anxiety, depression and trauma and specialize in support for new and emergent parents as they navigate pregnancy, birth and postpartum. My therapy style is relational and non-judgmental; reverent and light-hearted.

Before entering the mental health field, I had what was my dream job: guiding outdoor trips in the United States and abroad. Though this work was invigorating, what felt the most meaningful to me was walking alongside people as they embarked on a life-changing experience, whether backpacking through a storm or exploring a new country. I became a therapist because I saw an opportunity to provide life-changing experiences of a different kind. Prior to starting my therapy practice, I worked in an outpatient community mental health clinic with young people and their families. My most exciting adventure yet, becoming a mother to my daughter in 2025, led me to find my passion in supporting new parents.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right LGBTQ-friendly therapy provider for you

Headway makes it easier to connect with affirming therapists who understand your identity — from finding the right therapist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an LGBTQIA+ Therapist in Denver, CO

Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Denver starts with looking for identity-affirming care. A therapist who offers affirmative therapy, has experience with gender-diverse clients, or lists relevant training such as WPATH-informed care may be a stronger fit for support related to identity, relationships, family dynamics, anxiety, depression, or life transitions. Reading a therapist’s profile can help you see whether their listed specialties and approach match what you want from care.

Denver has many therapy options across neighborhoods like Capitol Hill, Five Points, Baker, and LoDo, but a larger local market can make it harder to narrow the search. Some people prefer an office that is easy to reach from home, work, or transit, while others use virtual sessions to access more LGBTQIA+-affirming therapists across Colorado. As you compare options, look for therapists who explicitly mention LGBTQIA+ populations in their bios, offer appointment times that fit your schedule, and provide a free phone consultation so you can ask about fit before booking.

Therapy in Denver can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs and understand what you may pay before your first session. Headway helps you compare LGBTQIA+ therapists who are accepting new patients, review bios, check estimated session costs after entering your insurance, and book directly when you’re ready.
