Grief counselors and therapists in Lone Tree, CO

My passion lies in instilling hope that recovery and wellness is possible – and worth it! I specialize in eating disorders, mood & anxiety disorders, grief, and the unexpected twists & turns of life. It would be a privilege to walk alongside you as you navigate this journey.

Do you struggle with persistent anxiety or depression? Do you have an adolescent with emotional or behavioral problems? Are you having issues with addiction? I've been assisting people in the Denver area for the past thirty years. I have worked in inpatient psychiatry and drug and alcohol rehabilitation, and I currently teach psychology and related subjects at the University of Denver. Although my clinical specialties are working with adolescents and addictive issues, I also work with individuals, couples, and families dealing with mood disorders, anger management, men's issues, and spiritual issues.

"I believe that clinical credentials are only part of the process of selecting a therapist. To that end, I offer a free fifteen-minute consultation to determine if I'm the right therapist for you."

I am currently accepting new clients. I’m so glad you’re here. Taking the step to reach out is often the hardest part, so congratulations on being here. I especially love supporting women navigating anxiety, depression, big life changes, postpartum, and the ups and downs of motherhood. After 15 years in this field, I know how much lighter life can feel with the right support, and I’d be honored to walk alongside you.

I have been in counseling for over 19 years. I love working with teens through adulthood clients.

Hi, I’m Laura and I specialize in helping women and teens heal from trauma, whether it shows up as anxiety, overthinking, people-pleasing, or feeling completely disconnected from themselves. I experienced trauma growing up and know firsthand how it impacts the whole body.

Through Somatic therapy, Brainspotting, and EMDR, I help clients release what’s stuck in their bodies and rebuild trust in themselves—because healing isn’t about “getting over it,” it’s about feeling safe again.

Our life experiences are layered and complex. My goal is to provide a safe, authentic, and supportive space for you to explore these experiences, create deeper emotional connections, and develop practical skills that facilitate clarity and change. With the use of integrated and insight-building strategies, we will weave together self-awareness and self-acceptance with effective and functional skills, enabling you to create real, lasting changes and lead a more balanced and fulfilled life.

My approach to therapy is collaborative, integrative, and tailored to the needs of each client. My specialties include anxiety, depression, life transitions, stress management, relationship concerns, career issues, and work/life balance.

I have a passion for helping adults, couples, and families enrich their mental health and overall wellness. Schedule a free consultation call with me today - I look forward to connecting with you!

I work from a client centered and trauma informed approach addressing all aspects of a client's whole self, to help the client find healing, hope and freedom to navigate life's challenges and learn to thrive. Although I work with clients of all ages, I specialize in working with adolescents and young adults. I am committed to instilling hope in the lives of clients and their families. I love what I do and feel honored to have the opportunity to walk along side of you during this season of life.

I’m Kaylee Torno, MA, LPC, NCC, and the founder of WayForward Counseling & Consulting. I hold a Master’s in Counseling Psychology from the University of Denver and have over a decade of experience supporting individuals and families as a licensed therapist and professional school counselor.

I specialize in working with teens (ages 16+), young adults, and adults who are navigating anxiety, stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and emotional overwhelm. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected from themselves, or unsure of their next steps. My goal is to offer a compassionate, down-to-earth space where you can feel supported as you better understand yourself, build coping tools, and begin finding your way forward.

I’m a psychiatric nurse practitioner who works from the belief that people are not broken—and that many of the struggles we call “mental illness” make sense when we look at trauma, context, and lived experience. I’m especially attuned to the ways mental health systems, stigma, and labels can unintentionally cause harm, and I aim to practice in a way that feels respectful, collaborative, and deeply human.

My approach is unconventional and trauma-informed, influenced by perspectives like those of Gabor Maté, which emphasize compassion, curiosity, and understanding symptoms as meaningful responses rather than defects. I do not believe in rushing to pathologize the human experience. As Joni Mitchell once reflected about depression, sometimes what we’re feeling is not an illness to be fixed, but a signal—an honest response to pain, loss, or a world that has not been kind.

I have been in the mental health field for over twelve years. My experience has allowed me to provide therapeutic services focused on those who have experienced trauma, family issues, lack of identity/purpose, and couples/relationship issues.
