Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Longmont, CO

Hi, I’m Denae! As a therapist who lives in the neurodivergent world myself, I believe therapy should be both real and lighthearted. With over a decade in behavioral health and dual licenses in counseling and addictions, I bring both clinical training and personal experience. I hold a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Regis University. My goal is to create a safe space where you can show up authentically, free from judgment, with a touch of humor along the way.

I am trained in trauma, anxiety, addiction, grief and somatic treatments. I also help you build healthy relationships. I specialize in using Internal Family Systems (IFS) and integrating somatic techniques in therapy, such as Polyvagal Theory or Somatic Experiencing. I'm also trained in Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) and combine this with IFS and somatic work. I am also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).

Hi, I'm Maddie! I grew up in a small town in Western New York and spent most of my early days running around outside playing in the mud. From teenage to young adulthood I struggled significantly with anxiety, GI issues, and trying to fit in with who/what I saw around me. Once I moved to Colorado, I had complete culture shock and started rethinking who I am and how I want to show up in the world. After learning strategies first hand, and attending grad school for Art Therapy, I started finding my way. Now, I'm passionate about helping others find empowerment and connection to the things that matter most to them. I'd love to work with children, teens and young adults who are questioning their identity or living with anxiety or difficult symptoms after going through trauma.

Hello! I am Jenny, a licensed professional counselor who has been practicing since 2015 as a therapist with adults. I also have spent 20 years working with kids in schools. Now, I work full time in private practice and love being able to connect with clients in this way. I graduated in 2005 with a MA in School Counseling from the University of Northern Colorado.

My name is Ashley Abbott, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have a diverse background working with children and families who have experienced abuse/neglect, within systems such as the foster care system, the juvenile justice system, inpatient, psychiatric residential treatment facilities, and outpatient settings I have provided direct support services in group homes, court advocacy, and a variety of therapy services such as group, family and individual. These experiences have equipped me with valuable skills in crisis management, de-escalation, family conflict resolution, and supporting individuals facing complex and challenging circumstances. With training in evidenced-based modalities, I can treat anxiety, depressive disorders, life transitions, relationship problems, suicidal ideation, and behavioral challenges. I am also trained to treat trauma and PTSD with EMDR. I am passionate about partnering with clients who are committed to personal growth and willing to actively engage in the therapeutic process. I specialize in working with adolescents, young adults and adults.

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 offer virtual or in-person therapy sessions in Castle Rock, Colorado. I know what it's like to struggle with depression, addiction, and narcissistic abuse. I became a therapist and an energy healer after going through my own "dark night of the soul." Many clients tell me that they relate to me because I have been though similar experiences and know what it's like to push through depression, and overcome addiction and trauma. My goal isn't to help you merely mask symptoms, but to help you navigate through them while healing the underlying roots, staying grounded, and discovering your most authentic self and a life of fulfillment and thriving.

As a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, my background spans decades in high-intensity environments, including service as a critical-care helicopter and fixed-wing flight nurse/paramedic, an officer in the United States Air Force Reserves, and an

entrepreneur. My career has been shaped in spaces where calm leadership, accountability, and compassion are essential—not optional.

I work with adults and adolescents, including first responders, veterans, entrepreneurs,

and individuals navigating complex or generational trauma. I am trained in EMDR and

use a trauma-informed approach to help clients process difficult experiences while reconnecting with clarity, resilience, and direction. I also have training in psychedelic- assisted therapies, with a focused interest in ketamine-assisted therapy and psilocybin-assisted approaches, and I am a licensed facilitator-in-training in the State of Colorado.

I am a husband and father of five, including two children with special needs (one visually impaired and one neurodivergent), and a grandfather of two. My wife is a trauma-informed yoga teacher specializing in complex trauma, and our shared perspective reflects a deep respect for both the psychological and physiological aspects

of healing.

I take a fresh, integrative approach to individualized psychotherapy, tailoring treatment to each client's unique needs and goals. My work is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps clients better understand and regulate their thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and reactions.

I also incorporate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), helping clients develop greater acceptance of difficult emotions and circumstances that may be outside of their control while taking meaningful action aligned with their personal values. With seven years of experience as both a Group Facilitator and Individual Therapist in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), I utilize evidence-based skills and mindfulness practices to help clients improve emotional regulation, increase self-awareness, and build resilience.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with almost 20 years of experience working with children and families. I believe in the importance of prioritizing self care and our mental health needs are so important for that! My goal is to partner with you and navigate through the journey towards reaching your goals.
