Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like chaos has overtaken your life? Yes, that Hot Mess is welcome.

I am Gena Hepworth, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience helping clients find their "brave." I work with adolescents (12+) and adults who are navigating trauma, eating disorders, anxiety, depression, and major life transitions. Whether you are dealing with family estrangement, navigating an empty nest, returning from a mission trip, or facing big-picture questions about your legacy and spirituality, I am here to help you make sense of your life story.

Education: BA in social work UMBC: University of Maryland Baltimore County Catonsville, MD. MSW from Augsburg University Minneapolis, MN.

My practice, Restore Grace Counseling, is a "no-shame zone." I work with individuals from a vast variety of backgrounds, including LGBTQ+ individuals, those of many faith traditions, inclusive of those who are agnostic or questioning. While my own foundation is a Christian worldview, my primary goal is to meet you exactly where you are with respect, honor, and non-judgment.

C Blanck

C Blanck

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Denver, CO


Hello there, I’m C Blanck (they/them), a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with an MSW (Master of Social Work) and MDiv (Master of Divinity). I specialize in trauma, including complex and religious trauma, as well as suicidality. I work with adults navigating anxiety, identity, and the impacts of systemic, relational, and traumatic harm, with a particular passion for supporting LGBTQIA+ and neurodiverse communities. I am CAMS (Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality) trained and currently working toward full certification in the model, as well as an EMDR provider in training.

NOTE: I am currently completing EMDR Basic Training and integrating EMDR-informed interventions under the guidelines of my training program. Anticipated completion of EMDR Basic Training: Early November 2026.

While I specialize in the treatment of trauma, including complex trauma, I am currently utilizing EMDR with appropriate clients and concerns consistent with my level of training. For clients seeking treatment for complex trauma, I also draw from Internal Family Systems (IFS), narrative, psychodynamic, ACT, DBT, and other trauma-informed approaches to support healing and recovery.

With my graduate certificate in Human-Animal-Environment Interactions in Social Work (HAEI-SW), I plan to introduce more animal assisted activities this Fall with my sweet-high energy lab mix therapy dog, Mr. Fusion.

I believe healing happens when we no longer carry our stories alone. I strive to create a space where you're celebrated and understood exactly as you are now. Together, we'll deconstruct stories shaped by shame to create narratives rooted in agency, authenticity and self-compassion.

As a queer, non-binary, non-monogamous therapist with lived experience of trauma, I specialize in working with queer, transgender, and non-monogamous adults (18+) navigating complex trauma (CPTSD), identity formation, depression, anxiety and neurodivergence.

Do you ever feel unseen, unheard, or like you carried responsibilities no child should have had to? If that resonates, you are not alone. I work with adults and couples who grew up with an emotionally immature parent and still feel the effects on their relationships, self worth, and sense of self. Together we will explore these dynamics and how they shape your life today, and I will help you build the insight, confidence, and self trust to move forward. I also support people through anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, life transitions, and the relationship struggles that come with all of it.
