I specialize in trauma therapy for adults, with extensive experience supporting survivors of sexual violence and other traumatic experiences. If you’ve been through something overwhelming, it can feel like a fog has settled over you, affecting every part of your life. You might find yourself overthinking, being on edge, shutting down, or feeling numb, even when you want to feel present and connected. Many people I work with feel stuck in this space and are unsure how to move forward. Together, we’ll work to understand and process your emotions, thoughts, and past experiences so they no longer hold the same power over you.
Welcome to the start of your therapeutic journey. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) living in Denver, Colorado! I grew up in the Philadelphia area and moved to CO when I fell in love with all it has to offer! I am a Certified ADHD-Clinical Services Provider. As someone with ADHD myself, I understand how it can impact one's life. I have much experience working with clients to cope with how ADHD impacts anxiety & depression. I also specialize in examining how one's queer and neurodivergent identities can compound the trauma of growing up in a world that does not support either identity.
Along with being a therapist, I am a crafter, mother, gardener, queer, neurodivergent, and lover of all things fantasy!
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.

Are you navigating anxiety, trauma, ADHD, neurodiversity, or questions around identity and life change, and hoping to feel more understood? I support people through trauma, depression, anxiety, ADHD, neurodiversity, and major life adjustments. My approach is warm, culturally humble, trauma-informed, and focused on you as a whole person. I believe you know yourself best, and I’m here to listen, understand your goals, and help you find steps that feel right for you.
I'm Anna Bellard, LCSW, a trauma therapist with nearly a decade of experience supporting adults through anxiety, PSTD, and the lasting impact of trauma. I specialize in EMDR therapy and somatic-based approaches that help clients heal not just mentally, but through the nervous system as a whole.
I earned my Bachelor's degree in Psychology at the University of Vermont and completed my Master of Social Work at University of Denver in 2020. My clinical background includes inpatient psychiatric care, adult partial hospitalization (PHP), and dual-diagnosis treatment, where I worked with complex trauma, mood disorders, and substance use.
Overtime, my work led me to focus on individual therapy for adults seeking deeper healing, emotional regulation, and reconnection with themselves. My approach is warm, collaborative, and direct.
Life isn't always about getting through a crisis. Sometimes it's realizing you've been carrying stress, anxiety, self-doubt, or emotional exhaustion for so long that it feels normal. You don't have to have everything figured out before reaching out. I believe therapy works best when you feel understood, respected, and comfortable being yourself. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, burnout, relationship challenges, or simply feeling stuck, we'll work together to help you move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
My priority is to provide a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where you feel heard, respected, and supported. With over 40 years in healthcare—including service as a former Navy Nurse Corps Officer and retired military veteran—I bring values of resilience, trust, and teamwork into every therapeutic relationship. I view care as a partnership and work to empower you to take an active role in your mental health.

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
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.
