Hello, I am Richard. It is important to me to attend to clients at a deep level. I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist who specializes in working with adults experiencing depression, anxiety, problems with motivation, and other obstacles that get in the way of achieving the life they want. I also have specialized training on the interconnections between medical conditions and mental health, which allows me to offer a more comprehensive approach to your well-being. I graduated in 1995 with a Psy.D. in counseling psychology from the University of Northern Colorado and have worked across public, private, and higher education settings.

My name is Shannon Hansen, MS, LMFT. I work with adult individuals, couples, and a variety of relational dynamics, offering a warm, compassionate yet unconventional therapy environment. In addition to teletherapy, I offer equine assisted psychotherapy and nature-based therapy for those who are wanting a more engaging therapeutic experience. I love offering a safe space to metaphorically, and literally, get messy in the deep dive of gaining a better understanding of the human experience. With the support of myself, the animals, and many other beings of the natural world, together we will dive in and emerge with the resources and understanding that will help you thrive in life and relationships.
Greetings and thank you for checking out my profile! I've worked with kids, teens, adults and families for over 20 years, and have a passion for helping people feel better.
Having a hard time focusing? Thinking and thinking about why you are not doing what you want to be doing? Feeling like no one can help you change? The confusion can be overwhelming and cause anxiety and depression symptoms that interfere with relationships and personal development. Change is difficult and together we can explore the parts of your life that may be in conflict or turmoil. It is time to put yourself first and through exploration, you'll build internal strength, resilience, and resources to support a more complete you.
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.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Fort Collins
Searching for therapists in Fort Collins starts with knowing what kind of support you want. People may look for therapy for anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship concerns, grief, life transitions, or work stress. As you compare Fort Collins therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties, training, and therapy approach match your needs. A therapist’s bio can help you understand whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, somatic therapy, or couples therapy.
Fort Collins has a strong local care community, with options near downtown, south Fort Collins, and surrounding areas, but the right fit may also depend on schedule and format. Some people prefer in-person sessions in a therapist’s office, while others choose virtual appointments for more flexibility around work, school, caregiving, or transportation. As you narrow your search, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, free phone consultations, and how clearly their profile explains their style. If you are looking for a counselor in Fort Collins, Colorado, reading bios before booking can help you compare communication style, session structure, and areas of focus.
Therapy in Fort Collins can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your benefits, and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before booking. You can browse therapists in Fort Collins, review profiles, and book directly when you are ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
