Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Longmont, CO covered by United Healthcare

Hello! After completing clinical social work studies at Saint Louis University's College of Public Health and Social Justice in 2014 I practiced community mental health in hospice and adult outpatient throughout Monmouth County, NJ till 2022. During this time I became EMDRIA certified (2020), and have continued to grow in exposure with the grief process. Seeing the inextricable link between chronic illness and trauma has fueled my commitment to seek diverse tools for assisting clients while they are living.

I graduated from the University of Colorado Colorado Springs (UCCS) with a Masters Degree in Counseling and Human Services in 2017. As an LPC, I have been in private practice since 2020. I primarily work with clients who are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, and life stressors and transitions. Before private practice, I worked at an agency on a specialized team providing trauma therapy for adolescents and their families who have experienced complex trauma.

This quote resonates with me as a strength based clinician who believes in the importance of fostering motivation and skill development in learning how to manage the complexities of our inner workings.

My name is Kacey K. Sliger, LMFT, LPC, LAC. I have been working with a variety of individuals, couples and families of all ages and stages of life for nine years!

So happy to see you are taking the steps to better your life! I am here to walk along side you through your trials and tribulations, and am honored to assist you in identifying and reaching your therapeutic needs and goals.

Do you have a stack of partially read self-help books collecting dust in the corner? Maybe you had hopes they would provide the information you were seeking to stay cool and collected through challenging times - because let’s face it, 2020 was pretty much a shitshow. It is alright to feel overwhelmed, confused, and uncertain, just know you don’t have to stay in that place. Whether you are looking for coping strategies to build resiliency through life transitions or wanting to explore deeper parts of yourself and how you relate to the world, I would be honored to walk along side you in your healing journey to find your authentic self. We can work together to create transformational change.

I wholeheartedly believe in the ability for people to make changes regardless of life circumstances. Our sessions will be filled with humor, empathy, and compassion as we focus on making progress towards your desired outcome.

I have 12 years of vast clinical experience. I am trained in Somatic and Attachment Focused (S.A.F.E.) EMDR. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Addiction Counselor, and hold a specialized credential for intimate partner violence. I am a certified as a Clinical Trauma Professional Level II, Advanced Grief Counseling Specialist, Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional, and Clinical Telemental Health Provider. I’m also a National Certified Counselor. All this really means is that I may have some information you find useful.

I enjoy taking a person centered, strength based approach to therapy. I like to spend time getting to know my clients, their view of the world, and the experiences that have shaped them. On the surface, substance use has been my speciality, but I find that substance use is typically secondary to underlying mental health or trauma related concerns. Because of that, I have experience in a wide range of concerns and practice with varying approaches suited to meet the individual client's needs.

I provide an open space to talk about any issue on your mind. Together, we probe deeper into patterns that affect your life and find ways to overcome those obstacles to your goals. I've worked in a variety of settings as a social worker and seen all manner of struggles and lives. I strive to understand your experiences and form a partnership on your healing journey.

It is an honor for me to work with people who have courage to reach out for support. My service is really unique because we offer, besides in person and virtual counseling, my herd of 6 equines to support you in finding peace of mind and quality of life .
