Virtual & in-person • 2.2 mi away • Durango, CO


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.

Shayna Weil

Shayna Weil

Therapist

Virtual • Colorado


What should your client know about you?

Hi, I’m Shayna Weil, MA, LPC — a professional counselor based in Colorado. Since completing my Master’s in Counseling and Art Therapy from Adler University in 2020, I’ve been dedicated to supporting others through life’s ups and downs. I know how heavy the world can feel at times, and I also know how healing it can be to feel truly seen, heard, and connected.

What is your approach to therapy?

I’m passionate about helping people grow, heal, and create more fulfilling lives. My approach is grounded in mindfulness, creativity, and practical skill-building to support lasting, meaningful change.

I primarily work with adults and understand how challenging it can be to unlearn old patterns from childhood. I bring patience, compassion, and trust in the process to every session, meeting clients where they are and walking with them at their own pace.

What can clients expect from their first session with you?

In our first session, I’ll take time to listen to what brought you in and get a sense of what’s been feeling challenging or important for you lately. We’ll move at your pace, explore what you’d like to work on, and begin creating a plan together that feels supportive and realistic for your goals. My goal is to help you feel heard, comfortable, and hopeful about the path forward.

Thomas Moore

Thomas Moore

Therapist

Virtual • Colorado


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.

Therapist

Many of us feel overwhelmed by the world that we live in. It helps to have someone to listen about the concerns we have or the things that make us feel despair. Therapy can be a great way to get some of these feelings out of our heads and into the world where they often appear more manageable and less overwhelming. I believe therapy should be collaborative and that I, as the therapist, should sit with you in whatever state you are in and that we should both work together to address your needs.
