Find a therapist in Pueblo, CO — covered by insurance

I was born in Colombia and moved to the U.S when I was 18. I have lived in Pueblo, CO since 2017. I attended University of Florida for my undergraduate and masters degrees. I am a Mindfulness Meditation certified teacher and currently finishing Dialectical Behavioral Therapy certification through DBT-Linehan board of Certification.

I take a fresh, integrative approach to individualized psychotherapy, tailoring my treatment approach 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 out of their control while taking meaningful action aligned with their personal values. With seven years of experience as 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.

Hello, I'm Liz! I have over 5 years of experience working inpatient, outpatient, and varying levels of severity. I enjoy getting to know people and be an extra ear to their troubles. I can be sarcastic at times, and consider myself a person talking to people!

Each of us has experienced difficulties in our lives that have impacted how we see ourselves, others and God These experiences can result in anxiety, depression, grief, sadness and pain. Exploring these events from a holistic perspective allows us to find healing and wholeness-body, mind and spirit. I especially enjoy working with young adults, believing that the sooner we can be free from our skewed perspectives, the more we can walk in wholeness and health. A healed perspective allows us to make healthy choices for our future. I believe clients who have a safe place to share their story can find lasting healing.

I offer individual counseling. I am trained in EMDR. I am a wife, mom of four including an adult child with special needs, and a grandmother. I have experienced healing in many areas of my life and believe that healing and wholeness is possible for my clients!

Hi, my name is Austin and welcome to my private practice. As a man who has been deeply affected and healed by counseling, I get the need and role of counseling firsthand. This is why I love counseling: I believe humans were created to share their stories and to work through difficulties together. Counseling is my life’s passion. I am truly honored and delighted to now walk alongside others in dark places toward durable hope and lasting change.

I am personally acquainted with the pain of grief. After the loss of my mother to suicide, I began a counseling journey that revealed many unexplored areas in my life that needed compassion and care. These experiences have brought me face to face with life’s difficulties.

I received my Bachelor’s Degree from the United States Air Force Academy (Colorado Springs, CO) in Foreign Area Studies (Russia and Eastern Europe). After graduation, I worked as a military aviator and US Air Force Officer in domestic and international locations. I returned to graduate school to pursue a Master’s of Arts in Counseling and a Master’s of Divinity at Covenant Theological Seminary. Over the years, as a counselor, I have worked in a community-based counseling center, as a staff counselor for a church counseling center, and I am now in independent practice, working with men, veterans, couples, and families navigating trauma and PTSD, and the many ups and downs of life.

I have traveled throughout the world during my Air Force career. Seeing the many ways humans experience the world, in all its pain and joy, has only increased my passion to care for others. From working with teenagers and their struggles to individuals seeking hope to the married couple with decades of experience to everyone in between. I love working with people who are struggling and want change.

With an extensive background spanning the full continuum of care—from outpatient services to long-term inpatient mental health—I have dedicated my career to supporting individuals across a vast spectrum of life experiences. My professional journey has been shaped by the guidance of exceptional mentors and supervisors who have instilled in me a commitment to continuous growth as a provider.

I have had the privilege of serving a wide range of populations, including:

• Adolescent mothers and youth in the foster care system
• Individuals within youth corrections
• Military veterans and those navigating the complexities of post-service life
• Survivors of domestic violence in recovery
• The geriatric population and adults navigating significant life transitions

I believe that true healing and growth begin with authenticity. Long before it became a trending term, I sought to show up as my authentic self in every room—whether presenting to a leadership team in a government agency or sitting one-on-one with a client late into the evening.

My style is rooted in transparency. I recognize my own strengths and deficits, a practice that keeps me grounded and humble while giving me the confidence to face life’s most daunting challenges alongside my clients. I don’t believe in a "one-size-fits-all" approach; instead, I meet my clients exactly where they are, viewing them as the true experts of their own lives.

Are you navigating anxiety, trauma, ADHD, neurodiversity, or questions around identity and life change, and hoping to feel more understood? I support people through trauma, depression, anxiety, ADHD, neurodiversity, and major life adjustments. My approach is warm, culturally humble, trauma-informed, and focused on you as a whole person. I believe you know yourself best, and I’m here to listen, understand your goals, and help you find steps that feel right for you.

What I want you to know about me as a therapist is that I learn from and alongside the people I work with. Curiosity is vital to my work. As a person, I value storytelling of all kinds, be it through conversation or creative outlets (like theatre, art, music, etc.). As someone who spent much of my life on a stage, I show up in therapy as a dynamic collaborator. Regardless of your age or perspective, I want to work with you and what is important to you to provide the best care I can.

We have the power to create and to recreate our world through the process of our own thinking. Sometimes all we need is the right guide to help us discover and live that process. It has been my privilege to have served as such a guide. Specializing in the integrative cognitive-behavioral treatment of anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma, and related disorders, I bring a holistic orientation to my work by considering not just psychological factors, but environmental factors as well. Through this approach, coupled with a commitment to close collaboration between therapist and client in order to promote healing and change, I have witnessed extraordinary empowerment in my clients throughout the years.

I came to Clinical Social Work and psychotherapy at middle age, after a long and pretty successful career in the theatre. The same passion for understanding human behavior as an actor led me to seek my Masters in Social Work from Fordham University, graduating Suma Cum Laude in 2007. I have provided concrete social services to marginalized populations while starting and maintaining a small private practice since then. Just under three years ago, I went exclusively private and see clients full-time in virtual sessions.

I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, parent coach, and former educator with 36 years of experience helping children, teens, adults, couples, and families move from conflict and overwhelm toward greater calm, confidence, and connection. I support clients navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism, emotional regulation, school and family challenges, divorce, workplace stress, career transitions, and burnout. My approach is warm, direct, practical, and collaborative. I also help parents reduce power struggles, strengthen communication, and respond to their children with greater clarity, confidence, and consistency.
