LGBT therapists in Pueblo, CO

My approach combines over 20 years of experience working in healthcare with multiple degrees in nursing and psychology/psychiatry. I have a strong background in addiction medicine, as well as general mental health care.

Like many, I live in and love the state of Colorado. Any chance I get I'm out exploring the outdoors. It provides balance in my personal and professional life.

As a dual-certified Family and Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner I share my interests with clients I see.

When I was working full-time as a Family Nurse Practitioner I saw an unmet need in clients finding a balance in their physical and mental health. I decided to return to school to strengthen my knowledge in psychiatric mental health care.

For the past five years my focus has included seeing clients with substance dependence, MAT treatment, ADHD, Major Depressive Disorder, Bipolar Disorder and Schizophrenia. I especially enjoy the 1:1 experience via telehealth seeing clients in the comforts of their own home.

Hi, I'm Riley Naylor, and I'm so glad you're here! I received my Master’s in Clinical Counseling from Grand Canyon University, and for the past four years, I've dedicated myself to supporting women through some of life's toughest challenges, including trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and more. I believe that everyone deserves a safe space to explore their feelings and find the resources they need to thrive.

My approach to therapy is rooted in positivity and strength-based techniques. I focus on building on the unique strengths of each individual, helping them navigate life's stressors and transitions. Whether you're dealing with childhood or adolescent development issues, career counseling, or work-life balance, I'm here to support you. I have a particular passion for helping parents manage the unique dynamics of family life and supporting those experiencing chronic illness and medical gaslighting.

I have specialized training and certifications for adult trauma that is based in some of the best research and most qualified practitioners in our field.

As a former art teacher, I love incorporating art and creativity into my sessions. I find that creative expression can be a powerful tool for processing emotions and life experiences. My goal is to create a therapeutic environment where you feel comfortable asking the hard questions and exploring new ways to advocate for yourself.

When you work with me, you can expect a collaborative and empathetic approach. I'm here to listen, support, and guide you as you work towards your goals.

Outside of therapy, I enjoy exploring my own creative pursuits and spending time with my family. These personal experiences enrich my work and help me connect with my clients on a deeper level

If you're ready to take the next step in your journey, I'm here to help. Let's work together to build a brighter, more fulfilling future

I work with adults navigating many of life’s challenges, including PTSD, anxiety, OCD, depression, panic disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder, grief, anger, ADHD, burnout, insomnia, bipolar disorder, and men’s issues. I also support clients facing chronic illness or pain, addiction, identity and relationship concerns, career stress, loneliness, existential questions, and major life transitions.

My specialties include trauma, relationships, supervision, and medical issues. I will help you be more conscious of your thoughts, emotions, and body and thus reach your potential.

My previous education in biology and neuropsychology has provided me with knowledge that is invaluable, especially during trauma work. Because I find both Eastern and Western psychological practices useful, I integrate many tools and therapies into the sessions and tailor treatment to each individual.

As a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP), I provide evidence-based medication management to clients seeking care. Since becoming a PMHNP, I have worked in different settings such as community health and women’s health. I have a true passion for working with the LGBTQAI and BIPOC communities. I focus on empowering clients within these communities to help them understand possible treatments for their mental health concerns and provide a therapeutic approach to care.

I am an LCSW who enjoys empowerment work and supporting clients in resolving stressors in their lives. I have experience with adolescents and adults in various practice locations. My clinical focus is anxiety and trauma.

It can be a struggle to keep it all together. Family or relationship conflicts, LGBTQ+ related issues, self-esteem, painful memories that you can't shake, or maybe just needing someone to talk to about things you can't imagine talking to anyone about. You're not alone. It's been a really difficult couple of years. I will help you explore in a safe and accepting space so that you can start to feel good again.

Imagine feeling more relief and alleviating the anxiety and fear that have become overwhelming. Together, we can lift painful thoughts and help you to gain tools and understandings that bring the light in again.

In working with me, you can have access to an approachable therapist that uses evidenced-based tools, but woven into a safe therapeutic relationship. I look forward to working together.
