Family therapy and counseling in Fort Collins, CO

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.

Sometimes the answers are there before we're able to see them.

There are times in life when you know something isn't working, but you aren't quite sure why—or what to do differently. Maybe you're struggling in a relationship, feeling disconnected from yourself, navigating changes in your family, or simply feeling stuck without being able to put your finger on what needs to change.

I believe therapy can be a place to slow down, become curious about what's happening beneath the surface, and begin to see possibilities that weren't visible before.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I work with

individuals, couples, and families navigating relationship difficulties, life transitions, anxiety, family conflict, and experiences that may be affecting them in ways they don't yet fully understand. You don't need to arrive knowing exactly what's wrong or what you need from therapy. Sometimes figuring that out is part of the work.

“Have you been carrying a lot, but haven’t had a place to truly unpack it?” I offer a client-centered, collaborative approach to therapy, creating a supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and respected. Sessions move at your pace, with a focus on understanding the root of what you’re experiencing—not just managing symptoms. I use evidence-based approaches tailored to each individual’s unique needs and experiences. I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, life transitions, and self-esteem. My work includes supporting adults from all walks of life, including veterans, LGBTQ+ individuals, men and women, human trafficking victims, domestic violence victims, high-acuity clients, and those receiving care at different levels of intensity. My goal is to help clients gain insight, build effective coping skills, and move forward with greater confidence and resilience.

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.

Hi! My name is Jenn! I believe that healing begins with feeling truly seen, heard, and accepted. Life has taught me the importance of kindness, compassion, open-mindedness, and the power of having someone beside you when life feels overwhelming and raw.

I've worked with a multitude of diagnosis and in many practice settings. My current focuses are addictions, anxiety, depression, chronic illnesses, trauma, and eating disorders. Really, I am here to create a space to help you learn how to navigate life a little softer.

Hello, I'm Liz! I have over 5 years of experience working inpatient, outpatient, and varying levels of severity. I enjoy getting to know people and be an extra ear to their troubles. I can be sarcastic at times, and consider myself a person talking to people!

Hi, my name is Austin and welcome to my private practice. As a man who has been deeply affected and healed by counseling, I get the need and role of counseling firsthand. This is why I love counseling: I believe humans were created to share their stories and to work through difficulties together. Counseling is my life’s passion. I am truly honored and delighted to now walk alongside others in dark places toward durable hope and lasting change.

I am personally acquainted with the pain of grief. After the loss of my mother to suicide, I began a counseling journey that revealed many unexplored areas in my life that needed compassion and care. These experiences have brought me face to face with life’s difficulties.

I received my Bachelor’s Degree from the United States Air Force Academy (Colorado Springs, CO) in Foreign Area Studies (Russia and Eastern Europe). After graduation, I worked as a military aviator and US Air Force Officer in domestic and international locations. I returned to graduate school to pursue a Master’s of Arts in Counseling and a Master’s of Divinity at Covenant Theological Seminary. Over the years, as a counselor, I have worked in a community-based counseling center, as a staff counselor for a church counseling center, and I am now in independent practice, working with men, veterans, couples, and families navigating trauma and PTSD, and the many ups and downs of life.

I have traveled throughout the world during my Air Force career. Seeing the many ways humans experience the world, in all its pain and joy, has only increased my passion to care for others. From working with teenagers and their struggles to individuals seeking hope to the married couple with decades of experience to everyone in between. I love working with people who are struggling and want change.

In therapy with me, you’ll find a space that balances comfort with challenge. We’ll explore what matters most, get curious about patterns, and use humor when it helps lighten the load. I work with individuals and couples, helping you reconnect with your strengths, make meaningful choices, and build relationships that feel genuine to you.
