I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Licensed Addiction Counselor (LAC) providing telehealth therapy to adults throughout Colorado. I believe healing begins when we become curious about the stories we've been carrying and the experiences that shaped them. My role is to provide a compassionate, collaborative space where you can safely explore those patterns, reconnect with your authentic self, and create lasting change.
I specialize in working with adults experiencing PTSD and complex trauma, developmental and attachment trauma, dissociation, anxiety, depression, substance use and harm reduction, identity exploration, life transitions, grief, chronic health conditions, and LGBTQIA+ concerns. I also support clients interested in integrating insights from plant medicine experiences into their healing.
My practice is trauma-informed, culturally humble, and affirming of people from all identities and backgrounds. I know that beginning therapy takes courage, and I strive to create a space where you feel genuinely seen, respected, and supported.
With an extensive background spanning the full continuum of care—from outpatient services to long-term inpatient mental health—I have dedicated my career to supporting individuals across a vast spectrum of life experiences. My professional journey has been shaped by the guidance of exceptional mentors and supervisors who have instilled in me a commitment to continuous growth as a provider.
I have had the privilege of serving a wide range of populations, including:
- Adolescent mothers and youth in the foster care system
- Individuals within youth corrections
- Military veterans and those navigating the complexities of post-service life
- Survivors of domestic violence in recovery
- The geriatric population and adults navigating significant life transitions
I believe that true healing and growth begin with authenticity. Long before it became a trending term, I sought to show up as my authentic self in every room—whether presenting to a leadership team in a government agency or sitting one-on-one with a client late into the evening.
My style is rooted in transparency. I recognize my own strengths and deficits, a practice that keeps me grounded and humble while giving me the confidence to face life’s most daunting challenges alongside my clients. I don’t believe in a "one-size-fits-all" approach; instead, I meet my clients exactly where they are, viewing them as the true experts of their own lives.
I am currently accepting new clients. Hi there, I’m Alisha. If you’re looking for a therapist who is down to earth, easy to talk to, and genuinely in your corner, I’d love to work with you. After 11 years in the mental health field, I’m excited to be back in private practice and to support you wherever you are in life. I work with both teens and adults, and our time together will always be shaped around you and what you need.
Hello! I'm Idowu Mary Oni, a Board-Certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) committed to delivering personalized, compassionate mental health care. With a strong foundation in nursing, I specialize in supporting individuals as they navigate mental health challenges and work toward greater emotional well-being. I'm honored to be part of your journey and look forward to helping you reach your goals with care and understanding.
My Positive, Storied Approach to Personal and Professional Growth
Everyone’s life is a grand story, filled with twists and turns, good things and bad things, all grounded in personal life themes. I consider it an enormous honor to be invited into someone’s story and believe that everyone has the power to take control of their stories, write the next chapter, and then make it happen.
Be the hero of your own story! Together we can talk about everything from what you want to include as you move forward, what you want to leave behind, and even the cast of characters in your life! Through thoughtful and genuine exploration, we both gain a better understanding of you and what you bring to the world including your strengths and talents, meaning and purpose. Through the process, my goal is to empower you to create a meaningful story you can be excited to step into.
I am an NCDA Certified Career Counselor and a Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado. I have PhD in Counselor Education and a master's degree in mental health counseling. I currently serve on the boards of both the National Career Development Association (NCDA) and the American Counseling Association (ACA). I bring my strengths, training, and experience to our career and counseling work together.
I have been a counselor for 40 years, working with individuals, couples, families and groups with psychological as well as addiction issues. I have extensive experience in inpatient as well as outpatient settings. I am eclectic in my evaluation and treatment methods, which gives me flexibility to treat individual needs. Primarily, I use cognitive-behavioral techniques. Many of my clients suffer with depression, anger, and anxiety (panic attacks, obsessive-compulsive disorder); all of which impact potential addictions. I also treat couples and families to better understand their dynamics and to improve their communication skills.
My background consists of psychological testing and understanding personalities. This has helped in my work with children, adolescents, & families. I enjoy working with gay and straight couples, to help them with empathy and communication. I do extensive cognitive work as well as teaching techniques with people suffering from anxiety, anger, and addictions.
I encourage self-awareness to stimulate one's potential. Understanding oneself is essential to reducing anxiety, depression & anger (and in improving relationships). I teach relaxation, meditation, & self-hypnosis techniques to improve personal balance. I guide couples and families to improve relationships through empathy, acceptance, and communication.
My ideal clients are seeking deeper connections but feeling held back by intimacy issues, relationship patterns, anxiety, depression, or trauma. You might feel disconnected from your partner, overwhelmed by intrusive thoughts, or stuck in cycles that no longer serves you. In our work together, you don't have to hide any part of who you are. I provide a grounded, entirely non-judgmental space centered on authentic human connection. Together, we explore what is keeping you stuck and build practical, compassionate paths toward relational understanding, emotional stability, and personal healing.
Welcome to Couples Therapy! Are you having the same argument over and over? Did your relationship experience betrayal and loss of trust? Or are you simply living as roommates or logistical partners who run a family, bussing kids across various sports/schools events, with little to no passion toward each other? I am here to help! I work with couples to identify the patterns that block connection and to rediscover the emotional bond that brought you two together. My goal is to create a calm, supportive space where both of you feel heard, respected, and understood. Change begins when we learn to understand - not fix - each other.
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.
Welcome! I want to hear your story! I can’t answer all life’s tough questions, but I can sit with you and guide you to find your own answers. I believe the emotional strains we've experienced are too heavy to carry alone. Everyone’s story is worthy to be told and heard. My ideal client knows there are some things holding them down and is ready to identify them and move forward in freedom. Whether you work with me or other providers, I’m excited for your journey ahead. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor who uses holistic approaches, integrating Cognitive Behavioral Techniques, and Humanistic techniques.
Outside of therapy, I’m a lifelong learner, a big sports fan, and someone who finds grounding in working out, good food, and live music, reminders that joy and connection can exist alongside life’s hardest moments.
Many of the people I work with are high-functioning by every external measure — capable, driven, the one others lean on — while privately carrying anxiety, burnout, shame, or a quiet sense of disconnection from themselves or the people they love. If that's you, you don't need to be told to slow down. You need someone who can help you understand the patterns underneath it and actually change them.
I'm a licensed psychologist with a Ph.D., working with adults and couples. My style is warm and direct: I'll listen closely, and I'll also tell you what I'm seeing. The aim is lasting change — understanding what's been driving the pattern so you can do something different, rather than just managing symptoms.
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who specializes in trauma therapy. I provide a compassionate, client-centered space for healing and growth. My approach integrates EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and grief counseling to help clients process difficult experiences, build resilience, and reconnect with themselves and others.
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, parent coach, and former educator with 36 years of experience helping children, teens, parents, couples, and families move from conflict and overwhelm to greater calm, confidence, and connection.
I specialize in working with families navigating autism, ADHD, learning disabilities, anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, school challenges, and family conflict. I also help parents reduce daily power struggles, improve communication, and respond with greater confidence and consistency.
I believe lasting change happens by looking at the whole picture—not just the symptoms. My work considers the child, the parent, the family system, and the school environment to identify the patterns that keep families stuck. Together, we develop practical, individualized strategies that create meaningful, lasting change.
What can clients expect from their first session with you?My goal in our first session is to help you feel comfortable, heard, and supported. We'll talk about what's bringing you in, explore the challenges you're facing, and identify what's keeping you or your family feeling stuck.
There is no pressure to have everything figured out. We'll move at a pace that feels right for you. Together, we'll begin identifying patterns, clarify your goals, and create practical next steps that feel realistic and manageable.
Whether you're seeking support for yourself, your child, your relationship, or your family, you'll leave our first session with a better understanding of what's happening and a clear direction for moving forward.
I’m really glad you’re here.
Many of the people I work with are used to being capable, thoughtful, and strong for others, but inside, something feels off. You might be dealing with anxiety, depression, burnout, or a sense that you’ve lost connection with yourself. Sometimes it’s not just about what’s happening right now, but patterns that have been quietly shaping your life for a long time.
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Colorado, with over 20 years experience working across a wide range of settings, including community mental health, mobile crisis and co-response, skilled nursing, public health, and critical access hospitals. This background allows me to meet you where you are, whether you’re navigating everyday stress or something more complex, to bring both depth and compassion to our work.
I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, substance use concerns, life transitions (career, relationships, health, identity shifts), and the lingering impact of stress or past experiences.

Find the right therapist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Durango, CO
Searching for therapists in Durango starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. A therapist may help with concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare Durango therapists, look for training and listed specialties that match what you want to address. Provider bios can also show whether a therapist uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, acceptance and commitment therapy, or trauma-informed care.
In a smaller city like Durango, local in-person options may be more limited than in larger Colorado markets. Virtual therapy can expand your search while still connecting you with a therapist licensed to provide care in Colorado. You may also want to compare appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation before booking. Reading each profile closely can help you understand the therapist’s style, session structure, and experience with concerns like yours.
Therapy in Durango can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who match your needs, accept your plan, and are accepting new patients. You can enter your insurance details, review estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, compare virtual and in-person options, and book directly when you’re ready.
