Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Thornton, CO

I am a board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I have been a nurse for over 20 years and the majority of my background comes from working in public health and child protective services. I am passionate about providing care that is both clinically effective and deeply human. My work is rooted in an evidence based approach, which means I rely on proven treatments, research and best practices to guide care.

I use Post-Induction Therapy to heal relational trauma. I have worked everywhere from juevnille correctional settings to affluent Residential Facilities with Professional adults. I honor all clients to be completely understood and how it impacts Love for ourselves, Family and Spiritual engagement. My earnest hope is that we develop courage (Animo) and no client feels like they are wasting time in therapy.

Hello and welcome! Here's a little synopsis of my professional background in therapy. I received my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Naropa University in the Mindfulness-based Transpersonal program. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado, where I see clients virtually and in person. I am trained in EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) from the Maiberger Institute in Boulder, Colorado. I am continuously curious and always learning. I am happy to share more once we establish a therapeutic relationship.

I am a veteran with a tech background, and I have over 12 years of experience as a counselor. I went back to school in my 40's, so I bring a lifetime of practical experience to my work. I focus on getting to the heart of the matter with clients, while looking for perspective into what may have caused the problem, and tools for the future. We will meet in person most or all of the time - I find this to be more effective.

I'm Katie Klumb, MA, LPC, at Awakening Peace Counseling. I hold a Master’s in Transpersonal Counseling Psychology from Naropa University and specialize in trauma-informed therapy, depression, anxiety, and life transitions. My holistic approach integrates mind, body, and spirit for comprehensive healing. Based in Lyons, CO, I offer in-person and telehealth sessions.

Hi, my name is Lindsey (she/her/hers). I work with individuals processing grief and loss, those grappling with relationship and self-esteem issues, and parents of teens with mental health issues. I graduated from Smith College School of Social Work and completed a post-graduate fellowship at The Menninger Clinic in Houston before moving to Colorado.

I'm Maddie, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a doctorate from the University of Southern California and six years in private practice. Before that, I spent nearly two decades working in schools as an educator, counselor, and mental health advocate — so I know the world teens, young adults, and parents are living in. I specialize in anxiety, life transitions, maternal mental health, and family stress, and I use CBT and EMDR to help people actually move forward.

I have a heart to see breakthrough, healing, and freedom for my clients. I have 20+ years history of working with adolescents and adults with learning differences: neurodivergence, autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and executive functioning deficits. I have extensive experience working with individuals struggling with trauma, abuse, identity, and somatic issues.

I am a bilingual (Russian/English) Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Addiction Counselor. I graduated with Master’s Degree in Transpersonal Counseling Psychology from Naropa University in 2015 and have been in practice for over 11 years.

I’m a psychiatric nurse practitioner who works from the belief that people are not broken—and that many of the struggles we call “mental illness” make sense when we look at trauma, context, and lived experience. I’m especially attuned to the ways mental health systems, stigma, and labels can unintentionally cause harm, and I aim to practice in a way that feels respectful, collaborative, and deeply human.

My approach is unconventional and trauma-informed, influenced by perspectives like those of Gabor Maté, which emphasize compassion, curiosity, and understanding symptoms as meaningful responses rather than defects. I do not believe in rushing to pathologize the human experience. As Joni Mitchell once reflected about depression, sometimes what we’re feeling is not an illness to be fixed, but a signal—an honest response to pain, loss, or a world that has not been kind.

Hello! Thank you for your interest. My name is Chandra and I specialize in play therapy for children, parenting support, and relationship based therapy for adults. Welcome to my practice!

My inspiration as a counselor is to help people connect with their own wisdom and to learn how gentle, open, respectful curiosity can help them manage stress and create more meaning and authentic relationships with themselves, their loved ones, and others.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified Synergetic Play Therapist, I have a masters in counseling psychology, specialized training in play therapy, and further training in mindfulness, managing states of stress, parenting, and child development.

I have been in the mental health field for over twelve years. My experience has allowed me to provide therapeutic services focused on those who have experienced trauma, family issues, lack of identity/purpose, and couples/relationship issues.

Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming, especially if you’ve tried therapy before and felt like it didn’t quite click. My approach is active, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that healing happens when we learn new ways of thinking, behaving, and relating to our emotions—not just talking about them.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a trauma-informed lens, specializing in addiction, women’s issues, adolescents, anxiety, and depression. I also have experience supporting parents and individuals impacted by a loved one’s substance use, including navigating boundaries, codependency, burnout, and complicated emotions such as guilt, fear, and grief.

I strive to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel accepted, understood, and gently challenged to grow. Many clients tell me they appreciate that our work goes beyond listening alone—we focus on learning practical skills and applying them to real-life situations.

I also have a background in Christianity and am comfortable integrating faith and spirituality into therapy when desired by the client. I respect each person’s beliefs and values and approach spiritual topics with openness, curiosity, and sensitivity.
