Therapist

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

Laura Ellison-Hutchinson

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Centennial, CO


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.

I believe counseling is a collaborative process and starts in the first session as we work together to understand your concerns. My first intention for you is to feel empowered, nurtured, and strengthened by the work we do together. I will work with you to create a safe and trusting space in which you can explore challenges that have hindered your ability to take full advantage of your potential. Together we will work on resolving difficult issues to promote increased self-awareness, understanding, and connection.
