I am a Licensed Holistic Clinical Mental Health Counselor and the founder of Be Transformed Counseling. I help individuals move from hurt to wholeness by supporting healing of the mind, body, and spirit. My approach blends evidence-based therapy with holistic practices, while providing a safe, non-judgmental space for growth. I support clients navigating stress, life transitions, emotional pain, and personal transformation. It is my honor to walk alongside you as you pursue clarity, healing, and lasting change.
I believe healing happens when you feel genuinely seen, understood, and supported. My goal is to create a space where you can show up exactly as you are without fear of judgment.
I work with adults, young adults and children experiencing anxiety, trauma, depression, relationship challenges, emotional dysregulation, and life transitions. I integrate evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), somatic interventions, and mindfulness to help clients better understand themselves, develop effective coping skills, and create lasting change.
Whether you’re navigating a major life transition, parenting a teenager, exploring adoption, or simply facing everyday challenges, you don’t have to do it alone. With 15 years of social work experience, I’m here to help you feel understood, supported, and empowered as you move toward the life you want to build.
Hello! Nice to meet you! I am a board-certified, Licensed Professional Counselor with over 20 years of experience. I specialize in child/teen therapy and improving family communication. I enjoy helping people look at challenges in different ways. I am a member of a certified therapy dog team with my Corgi, Olive. I am also a Global Career Development Facilitator and enjoy coaching people through transitions.
Life isn't always about getting through a crisis. Sometimes it's realizing you've been carrying stress, anxiety, self-doubt, or emotional exhaustion for so long that it feels normal. You don't have to have everything figured out before reaching out. I believe therapy works best when you feel understood, respected, and comfortable being yourself. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, burnout, relationship challenges, or simply feeling stuck, we'll work together to help you move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like chaos has overtaken your life? Yes, that Hot Mess is welcome.
I am Gena Hepworth, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience helping clients find their "brave." I work with adolescents (12+) and adults who are navigating trauma, eating disorders, anxiety, depression, and major life transitions. Whether you are dealing with family estrangement, navigating an empty nest, returning from a mission trip, or facing big-picture questions about your legacy and spirituality, I am here to help you make sense of your life story.
Education: BA in social work UMBC: University of Maryland Baltimore County Catonsville, MD. MSW from Augsburg University Minneapolis, MN.
My practice, Restore Grace Counseling, is a "no-shame zone." I work with individuals from a vast variety of backgrounds, including LGBTQ+ individuals, those of many faith traditions, inclusive of those who are agnostic or questioning. While my own foundation is a Christian worldview, my primary goal is to meet you exactly where you are with respect, honor, and non-judgment.
I am a holistic therapist who believes meaningful healing happens through authentic connection, self-awareness, and a compassionate understanding of the experiences that shape us. I was born and raised in Colorado and received my undergraduate education from California State University and Masters of Science from National University in 2019. I bring a trauma-informed, relational, and integrative approach to my work with clients. I specialize in supporting adults navigating childhood trauma and attachment wounds, grief, life transitions, and the process of reconnecting with themselves. My practice also includes specialized support for psychedelic preparation and integration and Colorado’s emerging natural medicine landscape, when appropriate and within my scope of practice. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe enough to be honest, curious enough to explore, and supported as you move toward a life that feels more authentically your own.
I am excited to work with folks 12+ who don't want therapy to feel like a doctor's office. I have experience working with anxiety, low self-esteem, disconnection, and trauma, as well as folks navigating difficult diagnoses and changing life circumstances that leave them feeling stuck, afraid, or alone.
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.
Hi. I'm glad you're here. The decision to ask for help is a brave and difficult choice, and I'm proud of you for making it. I might be a good fit for you if you're looking for someone who has been where you're at. In addition to my own experiences with mental health and life challenges, I have worked in substance use disorder treatment, inpatient psychiatric treatment, and community risk assessment/management.
