"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day, teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime." - Lao Tzu

This quote resonates with me as a strength based clinician who believes in the importance of fostering motivation and skill development in learning how to manage the complexities of our inner workings.

My name is Kacey K. Sliger, LMFT, LPC, LAC. I have been working with a variety of individuals, couples and families of all ages and stages of life for nine years!

So happy to see you are taking the steps to better your life! I am here to walk along side you through your trials and tribulations, and am honored to assist you in identifying and reaching your therapeutic needs and goals.

I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over nine years of experience supporting adults through trauma, grief, and relationship challenges. I was a previous Clinical Director at a rape crisis center, and specialize in working with survivors of interpersonal trauma, as well as loved ones who have been impacted by someone else’s trauma. I believe everyone deserves a space where they feel seen and heard.

Hello, I'm Christy! With over 18 years of dedicated experience in psychotherapy, I specialize in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to support individuals navigating trauma, depression, anxiety, and the journey toward resilience.

My professional background includes working in Rikers Island as a therapist, working as a virtual EAP provider as well as private practice. My specific areas are individual therapy of those 13 years and older, with a heavy focus on trauma therapy and gender affirming care. My goal as a therapist is to create a safe space while also challenging you when necessary. I tend to be more direct and value building a strong therapeutic relationship above all.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over two decades of clinical experience. My work has focused on helping people understand themselves more deeply, strengthen relationships, heal from difficult experiences, and create meaningful change in their lives.

I believe lasting change happens when we move beyond simply understanding a problem intellectually and begin experiencing ourselves differently. Together, we explore patterns, emotional and bod responses, beliefs, and relationship dynamics that may have developed as adaptations earlier in life but are no longer serving you.

Clients often describe me as warm, direct, engaged, and insightful. I tend to be an active therapist who asks questions, offers observations, and helps connect patterns that may be difficult to see from the inside. While therapy can be challenging, I believe it should also feel collaborative, practical, and grounded in hope.

My name is Danielle, and I was born and raised in Colorado Springs. As a former college athlete, I have always valued movement, balance, and living an active lifestyle. In my free time, I enjoy swimming, hiking, running, biking, and spending weekends in the mountains, along with being a mother to my two precious children! 🥰

I earned my Master’s degree from University of Denver, where I discovered my passion for psychology and understanding human behavior. Throughout my career, I have worked with children, adolescents, teenagers, and adults across a variety of treatment settings. I have extensive experience supporting individuals struggling with eating disorders, depression, anxiety, trauma, learning disabilities, autism, personality disorders, identity concerns, and other mental health challenges. I believe there is no “one-size-fits-all” approach to therapy. I enjoy taking an integrative and individualized approach to treatment, meeting clients where they are while supportively walking alongside them throughout their journey. My therapeutic style is compassionate, empathetic, and client-centered. My goal is to help clients cultivate inner peace, self-acceptance, and resilience as they navigate life’s many transitions and adventures.

Professionally, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Colorado (License #LPC.0015577, 2017). I have worked in inpatient, partial hospitalization, residential treatment, and traditional outpatient settings within the mental health field. I have specialized training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), both of which I incorporate into my practice. I am also certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy and board certified in neurofeedback therapy (BCN)!

I am a queer therapist and have been a licensed therapist for over a decade. I graduated with my Masters in Mental Health Counseling in 2013, and have focused my career on the intersection of eating disorder treatment and the queer community. I am passionate about my community role and am excited to meet you! I have experience working with clients who are struggling with health disabilities, chronic conditions, ADHD, OCD, end of life issues and more. I encourage you to book a session to see if we're a good fit!

My mindfulness-based therapeutic practice integrates a body-centered approach with Buddhist psychological models. Bringing awareness to the present moment in each session supports the observation of thoughts and impulses in real time as they come up. We’ll collaborate as we gain a deeper and more subtle understanding and felt-sense of the unfolding patterns that appear. Cultivating a relationship based on trust and open communication is the foundation of my compassionate and direct method.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with 16 years of experience supporting individuals through a wide range of life experiences and challenges. Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to work with diverse populations and address many different areas of mental health and personal growth.

I am a Clinical Mental Health Therapist with over 16 years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults and families in community mental health, educational and private practice settings. Prior to that, I spent 20 years in pastoral ministry. I completed my Masters in Counseling Psychology in 2008 from Northwestern Oklahoma State University, and soon after moved to Northwest New Mexico/Southwest Colorado. My professional experience includes: Administrator of a Residential Treatment Center, Clinical Administrator for Children's Behavioral Health, Student Assistance Coordinator for a school district, Visiting Professor at a School of Social Work, Private Practice, Outpatient Clinical Manager, Health Services Coordinator for a school district, and Integrated Behavioral Health Provider in a family medical practice setting. In addition to working with high risk/high needs children and adolescents, I work primarily with trauma as well as anxiety and depression. I also serve as a Certified First Responder Counselor.

I am a lover of many things, but there is nothing dearer and nearer to my heart than the clients I help. I have been a nurse for 18 years now. Almost 100% of those years, I have spent working in or around mental health. Not to mention, I grew up in a family where mental illness directly impacted my family members. This is how and why I am passionate and dedicated to giving the utmost respect and care to any and all clients who choose me as their mental health provider. I want my clients to think of me as their teammate when it comes to battling mental health.
