Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Evergreen, CO

Nice to meet you, I go by Jes. I have been working as a licensed clinical social worker for over 10 years. You may be looking for someone who can understand what you are going through and feeling. I have seen a many individuals in my practice struggling with life changes, depression, anxiety and other things that get in the way of feeling our best day to day. Its important that you have someone that you feel safe and not judged as you open up and explore your challenges. You can be assured that I am going to approach your session with an open mind and desire to show up for you. I attended University of Denver and received several certifications including animal assisted therapy, play therapy and EMDR.

Life can present unexpected challenges, major transitions, and moments of intense uncertainty that leave us feeling overwhelmed or disconnected from who we are. Whether you are navigating anxiety, processing trauma, adjusting to parenthood, or breaking old patterns that no longer serve you, I provide a safe, non-judgmental, and compassionate space to help you find your footing.

My work with adults centers on major life transitions, anxiety, burnout, trauma, identity exploration and personal growth. I integrate relational, somatic, and strength-based approaches to help you process complex emotions and deepen your self-awareness.

Additionally, I support children and families through trauma and developmental shifts. When working with kids, I use the natural language of play and honest, age-appropriate narratives to help them express what they may not yet have the words to say, ensuring both caregivers and children feel supported along the way.

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.

I'm a gentle and insightful therapist with an approach that is effective, impacting, and can help you bring about change and transformation in your life and relationships

With over 30 years in the mental health field, I bring a deep understanding of the therapeutic process and a strong commitment to helping people thrive. I have served as a therapist, clinical supervisor, clinical director, and adjunct professor in settings such as group homes, outpatient clinics, mental health centers, schools, and now private practice. I especially enjoy working with clients who are open to growth, even when it feels challenging.

I have been practicing as a trauma therapist, trainer, and consultant for the last 12 years. For much of my career, I specialized in working with kids and families who have experienced complex and intergenerational trauma, and specifically focused on infant and early childhood mental health. I work frequently with conditions such as anxiety, depression, and complex PTSD, and provide support for individuals and couples of the LGBTQ+ community.

I hold a B.A. in Communications and Law from Manhattanville College and an M.S.W. from Boston College. I am also experienced in writing WPATH letters to allow both minors and adults to access gender affirming care.

I'm a social worker with over a decade of fieldwork with various populations in numerous settings. My breadth of experience affords me special insight into and a deep passion for infertility, perinatal and postpartum struggles, chronic illness, and military life. Working together is mutually beneficial: I get to put years of schooling and experience into practice, and you get to work towards improved overall wellness.

Welcome to counseling for the first time, or welcome back! I am passionate about this work and see it as an honor to be with you during this time.

I am a licensed clinical social worker who believes in the infinite capacity of humans to move through and beyond experiences that have brought us down. I bring my real self to the therapy space. I'm a therapist who personally understands the struggle. My clients work with me because they want somebody authentic and down to earth.

Reaching out can be hard and I am here to help begin the process of healing and being there to help us become a better you. My goal and desire is to help teach you and provide you the essentials to overcome your obstacles. When life gets overwhelming at times, we forget to take care of ourselves. Depression and anxiety does not have to be a part of your everyday life.

With more than 30 years of experience, I've helped individuals navigate anxiety, ADHD, trauma, and life's many transitions with compassion, understanding, and practical support.

I know reaching out for help isn't always easy. My goal is to create a safe, welcoming space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to move toward greater confidence, healing, and peace of mind.
