Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Thornton, CO covered by Aetna

I offer individual therapy for adults, and my focus is on helping you build a healthy relationship with yourself. This approach helps if you are feeling stuck in patterns that are not working for you, struggling with self criticism, experiencing depression, anxiety, relationship issues, etc. I offer insight-oriented conversations, practices, and tools to help you find more balance and harmony from the inside out.

I earned my doctorate degree in clinical psychology from the University of Denver and have been in private practice for over ten years. I consider it an honor to be in relationship with my clients and to help them better understand themselves and change their lives. I strive to celebrate and create a safe space for all aspects of your identity.

Many of the people I work with are going through some kind of transition.

Sometimes that looks like anxiety that’s getting harder to manage, feeling stuck in the same patterns, or navigating changes in relationships, identity, or life direction. Other times it’s grief, stress, or a sense that something just isn’t working the way it used to.

You might find yourself overthinking, shutting down, or reacting in ways that don’t quite make sense, even to you. You may understand things logically, but still feel stuck emotionally.

My background is in clinical mental health counseling, and my work is grounded in approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). I also have advanced training in working with relationship dynamics, which often show up even in individual therapy.

Before becoming a therapist, I worked as a journalist. That still shapes how I work today. I pay close attention, listen for patterns, and help you make sense of your story in a way that feels clear, grounded, and meaningful.

I’m a licensed clinical psychologist with nearly a decade of experience. I specialize in treating people with anxiety, ADHD, and insomnia, and parenting concerns.

I'm originally from the East Coast and moved to Denver to earn my MA and Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from the University of Denver. I completed my APA-accredited pre-doctoral internship at the Mental Health Center of Denver (now called WellPower), where I provided crisis support, psychotherapy, and psychological assessments.

Since then, I’ve found my passion in growing my own private practice (Evergrow Therapy & Assessment), where I work with clients across the lifespan to support their growth, balance, and well-being.

My name is Lydia, I’m a southern transplant living in Colorado 5 years in the making. While I love certain parts of the South, I am passionate about dismantling the restrictive thought patterns brought on by Southern culture.

25+ years of experience with individual, couples and families supporting them through all life stages and challenges. including neurodiversity in children and adults, blended and separating families, anxiety, depression, and grief and loss.

I work to meet clients wherever they are at emotionally and identify their goals so that we can work together to create the best life possible for them. I have experience working with all ages and walks of life, from first responders and caretakers to teenagers and families. I come from a family of helpers and have a deep understanding of how traumatic experiences can destabilize people's well-being. I am here to work as a guide, not a teacher, and believe that all healing is done by the patient. I seek to empower my patients and show them their inner strength that was there all along.
