Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 17 mi away • Greenwood Village, CO


I enjoy working with clients ages 16+, but most of my clients are 25-50. My clients come from a variety of backgrounds and careers such as educators, engineers, nurses, students, stay at home parents and those between careers.

I was born and raised in Cincinnati, OH and hold a Master degree from Xavier University. You can expect a safe and comfortable environment as we dialogue to help you sort through emotions. We may delve into your past but we won't dwell there because your energy is needed in the present moment as you look within yourself to find peace and the power to be your true self.

PLEASE NOTE: I am licensed in CO/FL/TX but accept insurance only in CO/FL/TX. Self pay option is available at $95 for in person sessions and $60 for tele-health.

Amber Brown

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 18 mi away • Greenwood Village, CO


I specialize in working with women who feel stuck in patterns such as people-pleasing, overthinking, perfectionism, difficulty setting boundaries, or feeling disconnected from themselves. These patterns are often rooted in developmental and relational trauma and can continue to impact relationships, self-worth, and emotional well-being. My approach is integrative and trauma-informed, drawing from EMDR, Brainspotting, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help clients heal at the root of their struggles.

My approach to therapy is guided by something my Grandpa Ted Ross said:

"When you are with something and try to understand it, you learn to love it."

I aspire to provide a compassionate and intuitive presence (with 16+ years of experience) to support your journey to contact, connect with, and express your Core Self while understanding + learning to love the obstacles and challenges that come with being human.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 19 mi away • 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.
