Are you overwhelmed by the stress and chaos life can bring and don't know where to start? Maybe your alcohol or drug use is negatively impacting your life. Are you wanting support for recent or past trauma? Maybe, you simply want to become a better version of yourself and want someone to help guide you. My name is Chelsea and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Licensed Addiction Counselor (LAC) in the state of Colorado.

My experience includes working at a domestic violence shelter, a college counseling center, a county jail, and outpatient treatment center. I recently helped create an Intensive Outpatient Program for Substance Use Disorders, the highest level of care in Southwest Colorado. My top treatment interests include Drug and Alcohol Abuse or Substance Use Disorders, Anxiety, Depression, ADD & ADHD, Trauma & PTSD, life transitions, work & school stress, and burnout.

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.

Therapy with me helps you to feel different, not just to think different. I work with people looking to shift at the core. I am your collaborator in accessing more resilient states and to discover more ease in your daily life.

People who seek me out tend to be: teachers, queer folks, quarterlifers (ages 20-40), first responders, therapists, snow & avalanche workers, guides, outdoor educators, nonprofit employees, athletes ... and may be looking for help with trauma (childhood & event specific), outdoor accidents, grief & loss, chronic pain, relationship challenges, life transitions, identity exploration, & ongoing resilience support

Welcome, and thanks for reaching out. I hope you, your family and friends are safe and healthy.

I have a Master's Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Naropa University. I've completed trainings in Traumatic Stress Studies, Psychedelic Assisted Therapy and I am a Level II Psychobiological Approach to Couple Therapy counselor. I have additional trainings in Nonviolent Communication, suicide awareness, body-centered psychotherapy and more.

My journey towards therapy started in the forests on the Pacific Crest Trail and in the San Juan Mountains as a Wilderness Therapy Guide. I was entranced by people's stories that landed them on the trail, as well as by their takes on life. I decided to get my Master's in Counseling at Adam's State University so that I could professionally hear people's stories. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Colorado. I have experience working with families and individuals ages 12+. I am passionate about helping people manage chronic stress that seems inevitable in the current world we live in.

I’m Hannah Strege, MSW, LCSW, and the owner of Wonderfully Made Counseling, PLLC, where I provide compassionate, individualized therapy for children, adolescents, adults, and families. I earned my Master of Social Work from Baylor University and have experience providing behavioral health care within pediatric primary care.

My areas of focus include anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, adoption, embryo adoption, and concerns related to IVF and assisted reproduction. I have a particular passion for supporting adoptees, adoptive families, and individuals navigating the complex emotions, relationships, identity questions, and experiences that can accompany adoption and reproductive technologies.

I am also the Founder and CEO of Wonderfully Made Adoption Services International, a nonprofit dedicated to adoption education, advocacy, consultation, and support. My nonprofit work and clinical practice are separate, but both reflect my commitment to approaching adoption and family formation with compassion, ethical consideration, and a child centered perspective.

I believe every person has inherent dignity and a story worthy of being heard. My goal as a therapist is to create a space where clients feel genuinely known, respected, and supported as they pursue healing and meaningful change.

I work with adults who want more from life, their relationships, or themselves but feel stuck getting there, overwhelmed, or like they should be further along. I support clients navigating transitions, stress or dissatisfaction with life, health or work, sleep concerns, communication and boundary issues, dating and relationship challenges, and neurodivergence including ADHD and autism. I’m straightforward, relatable, and down to earth, with room for humor and honest conversation. As a naturalized U.S. citizen from Germany, I also bring personal understanding of adapting to a new culture and enjoy working with immigrants and first-generation Americans navigating life between cultures.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor serving adults across Colorado.

Hello, I'm Emily - I'm happy you're here! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a passion for supporting children, adolescents, and young adults through some of life’s most challenging moments. In addition to my clinical work, I serve as a school therapist, supporting students with IEPs as they navigate emotional, behavioral, and social challenges within the school setting. For 13 years, I worked in hospitals as a Certified Child Life Specialist, walking alongside children and families as they navigated chronic illness, medical trauma, and end-of-life experiences.

I am a neurodiversity-affirming, trauma-informed therapist who specializes in working with children, teens, and families. I have extensive experience supporting clients with autism, adhd, anxiety, big emotions, and challenging behaviors. I also enjoy providing parent support and coaching.

As a parent of 2 neurodivergent children, I bring both professional expertise and lived empathy to my work. I offer telehealth (primary) in-home, and community-based sessions so I can meet clients where they feel most comfortable.

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!

Do you find yourself constantly thinking, analyzing, or trying to make sense of everything? Maybe you replay conversations, anticipate every possible outcome, or search for the "right" answer before making a decision. You may understand yourself well on an intellectual level, yet still feel anxious, overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected. I provide therapy for teens, young adults, adults, and educators—including teachers, school counselors, and other school staff—who are navigating anxiety, stress, burnout, relationship challenges, difficult experiences, or simply feeling overwhelmed by the demands of daily life.

I have experience with adults and teenagers in systems of care including nonprofits, hospitals, and outpatient facilities. I specialize in trauma and addictions but enjoy working with variety in all its forms. I am passionate about adventure and the outdoors and want to help my clients improve their relationship to the land, connection to self, and deepening the quality of our interactions with others.

As someone with OCD, I know what it's like to be stuck in your head all day. My own lifelong journey of healing energizes the work I do with my clients. I graduated from the University of Utah in 2020, and have since helped many people live better lives.

I’m a licensed mental health therapist who works with adolescents & adults! I believe therapy should feel empowering, collaborative, and genuinely supportive.

My approach is warm, open-minded, & nonjudgmental. I want you to feel safe being your full self in session, and I aim to meet you where you are while helping you grow in ways that feel meaningful and sustainable!

I earned my undergraduate degree in Psychology from Purdue University and my Master’s degree in Social Work from IUPUI, with a focus on addiction and mental health. My professional background includes two years in an outpatient mental health setting and one year working in residential treatment for substance use disorders. These experiences have shaped my understanding of how complex mental health can be—and how important it is to treat the whole person, not just symptoms.

I work with people experiencing anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, emotional regulation difficulties, and life transitions. I enjoy helping clients explore patterns, build coping skills, and reconnect with their strengths. My style is collaborative and flexible, and I like to be creative in sessions when it’s helpful—whether that’s through reflective exercises, visual tools, or thinking outside the box to help things “click.”
