This wild, painful, beautiful human experience can be a lot to process on our own, and it can be empowering to sort it out with a compassionate mental health professional who can be a support throughout your emotional growth. I am committed to showing up with empathy and gentle curiosity in collaboration with my clients. I am licensed in and seeing clients in Colorado and Rhode Island.
I have a passion for working with visual artists, writers, poets, musicians, and designers. I am an artist who believes that creative expression can be a way to engage the healing process and help us make meaning in this tumultuous world. I love working with artists and creatives, but you do not need to identify as an artist or creative to collaborate in therapy with me. We all hold the potential for creative healing engagement with ourselves, in relationships, and in the world. I welcome the opportunity to work with clients of all backgrounds and identities.
I received my MA in Mental Health Counseling from Northwestern University, my MFA in Visual Art from Rutgers University, and my BFA in Visual Studies from Iowa State University. Before I became a counselor I spent fifteen years teaching studio art and cultural studies courses at colleges and universities across the United States. As an artist, writer, former academic, and mental health counselor, I have dedicated my life to creating connection and depth in relationships.

Hi, I’m Emily. I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and Licensed Addiction Counselor (LAC) specializing in relationships, family systems, substance use, and co-occurring mental health challenges. I work with individuals, couples, and families navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, bipolar disorder, panic disorder, ADHD, identity exploration, grief, chronic illness, and end-of-life concerns.
Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed by emotional ups and downs, struggling with relationship conflict, managing substance use concerns, or coping with co-occurring disorders like anxiety and depression alongside addiction. You may feel stuck in repeating family patterns, battling intrusive thoughts, experiencing mood instability, panic attacks, impulsivity, or feeling disconnected from yourself and others.
With experience in inpatient treatment settings and diverse cultural environments, I bring a deep appreciation for the complexity of the human experience. I am LGBTQ+ affirming and culturally responsive, and I approach each client with curiosity, compassion, and respect for their lived experience.
Hello, I'm Theda. With over 25 years of experience in the mental health and addiction fields, I have had the privilege of working with individuals, groups, and families in various clinical settings, including inpatient, outpatient, in-home, and group homes. My journey in mental health began with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a Master of Education in Agency Counseling from Southwestern Oklahoma State University, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor.
Hi, I'm Riley Naylor, and I'm so glad you're here! I received my Master’s in Clinical Counseling from Grand Canyon University, and for the past four years, I've dedicated myself to supporting women through some of life's toughest challenges, including trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and more. I believe that everyone deserves a safe space to explore their feelings and find the resources they need to thrive.
My approach to therapy is rooted in positivity and strength-based techniques. I focus on building on the unique strengths of each individual, helping them navigate life's stressors and transitions. Whether you're dealing with childhood or adolescent development issues, career counseling, or work-life balance, I'm here to support you. I have a particular passion for helping parents manage the unique dynamics of family life and supporting those experiencing chronic illness and medical gaslighting.
I have specialized training and certifications for adult trauma that is based in some of the best research and most qualified practitioners in our field.
As a former art teacher, I love incorporating art and creativity into my sessions. I find that creative expression can be a powerful tool for processing emotions and life experiences. My goal is to create a therapeutic environment where you feel comfortable asking the hard questions and exploring new ways to advocate for yourself.
When you work with me, you can expect a collaborative and empathetic approach. I'm here to listen, support, and guide you as you work towards your goals.
Outside of therapy, I enjoy exploring my own creative pursuits and spending time with my family. These personal experiences enrich my work and help me connect with my clients on a deeper level
If you're ready to take the next step in your journey, I'm here to help. Let's work together to build a brighter, more fulfilling future
I'm a psychologist helping clients to navigate transition and overcome destructive patterns. I have expertise in treating anxiety, ocd, adhd, trauma, depression, addiction, recovery, and relationship challenges. I've had a private practice for over 10 years and work with adult clients at all stages of life. I earned my doctorate in Clinical Psychology at California Institute of Integral Studies, with intensive training at the Portia Bell Hume Center, Kaiser, UCSF, VA and the Jung Institute.
I’m Thomas Moore, LPCC, a licensed professional clinical counselor providing therapy for individuals navigating anxiety, trauma, emotional overwhelm, identity development, and complex relational patterns. Many of the people I work with feel stuck in repeating cycles such as overthinking, people pleasing, emotional shutdown, intense reactions, or difficulty maintaining stable relationships even when they logically understand what they should do. My goal is to help you translate insight into real change.
My approach is structured and compassionate. I integrate evidence based methods including cognitive restructuring, emotional regulation training, interpersonal effectiveness skills, and trauma informed therapy. Sessions focus on understanding why your brain reacts the way it does and building practical tools you can actually use outside the therapy room. This is not only about talking through problems but learning how to respond differently when they show up in real life.
I work well with clients who want more than passive support and are ready to build skills, increase self awareness, and interrupt patterns that no longer serve them.
What clients should know before starting
Therapy with me is collaborative and active and you will learn strategies rather than only venting. We will work on understanding both the emotional and neurological side of your reactions. Sessions focus on present day functioning while also addressing past experiences that still affect you. I may gently challenge patterns when it supports growth while maintaining a supportive and respectful space. Progress often comes from small repeated changes rather than sudden breakthroughs.
If you are looking for therapy that combines validation with practical change, we will likely work well together.
