Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Lafayette, CO

I’m a licensed therapist who works with individuals navigating life transitions, relationships, and the emotional complexity of modern, busy lives. I have advanced training in perinatal mental health and specialize in supporting clients through pregnancy, postpartum, and family related transitions. I also have training in energy psychology, which I integrate into my work in a grounded and practical way. I focus on tools that support real life application and sustainable growth.

Outside of my work as a therapist, I enjoy spending time outdoors, riding my horses, and being with my family. These activities help me stay grounded and connected to what matters most in life. I value balance, authenticity, and meaningful relationships, and I bring those same values into my work with clients. I strive to create a welcoming, supportive environment where clients feel comfortable being themselves and working toward their goals.

If you've been told your anxiety, exhaustion, or emotional shifts are "just stress" or "just aging" — and something in you knows it's more than that — you're in the right place. I'm Kristal, a licensed therapist with over 15 years of experience supporting people through life's most challenging transitions. That career — rooted in crisis intervention, child welfare, and working alongside people experiencing homelessness — built in me a deep capacity to sit with complexity, pain, and change without flinching. That foundation now drives my specialized work with women navigating perimenopause and menopause. I bring both clinical expertise and lived experience to this work. I've walked this road myself — which means when you show up, you will be genuinely seen and heard, perhaps in a way you haven't been in a long time.

I work primarily with teens, young adults, parents, and adults navigating life transitions and complex family dynamics - especially around anxiety, ADHD, emotional regulation, trauma, and changes like divorce or blended families. I know these experiences can feel messy and heavy, and my goal is to help you make sense of what’s going on while finding a path forward that actually feels manageable.

I especially enjoy working with clients who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected. I tend to connect well with teens who might be more guarded or unsure about therapy. You don’t have to have it all figured out to start.

Above all, I strive to create a space where you feel comfortable being yourself, truly understood, and supported as you move toward meaningful change.
