Hi, I'm Crystal.

Reaching out for therapy takes courage, and finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming. I believe therapy begins with feeling comfortable enough to be yourself while working with someone who genuinely wants to understand your experience.

Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, stress, or a major life transition, my goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and supported.

Hello, I'm Miranda. I have been a therapist for over 10 years and have spent nearly four of those years in private practice. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from CU Boulder and a Master's in Counseling from UCCS. Throughout my career, I have addressed a wide range of concerns and issues, from working with severely mentally ill individuals in a prison setting to engaging with a diverse clientele in community mental health. My specialties include trauma, adolescents, life transitions, and relationship issues.

Hello! I’m Amy Monreal, a therapist dedicated to helping individuals and couples find healing and connection. Maybe you are in a relationship where conflict is difficult to navigate, and you feel stuck in patterns that leave you feeling frustrated and alone. It can be hard to navigate these patterns on our own. I believe every person deserves healing and relationships that are safe, supportive, and loving.

With my background in grief support, disability advocacy and hospice/palliative care I am poised to support you on your journey. If you are experiencing grief, depression, anxiety or fatigue, my affirming and authentic approach may be just what you need.

I am an experienced psychotherapist with a passion to help individuals in their healing journey, addressing issues such as depression, anxiety, and relationship difficulties. My area of expertise is trauma recovery. I strive to create safe environments for clients to explore their experiences while supporting them in building fulfilling lives. I earned my Master of Social Work from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2002 and have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker since 2009.

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.

Great to meet you!
