I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor and Resiliency Coach with over 19 years of experience helping clients navigate trauma, stress, and life transitions with clarity and confidence. My approach is direct, compassionate, and rooted in real-life experience—I believe in giving you practical tools, not just talk. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or ready for change, I’m here to help you move forward with resilience and purpose.
I'm a relationship therapist, couples counselor and sex therapist who strives to create an inclusive environment so people and couples of all backgrounds can feel safe, supported, and free to be honest about their experiences. I specialize in working with individuals, couples, and beyond who are motivated to increase emotional safety, rebuild trust, navigate life transitions, openly communicate and rebuild emotional and sexual intimacy.
I’m Makala Smith, a board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC). I am committed to providing holistic mental health care through a balanced and patient-centered approach.
My background includes neurology, trauma, and public health nursing. I earned my Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner degree from University of Colorado after I realized the need for psychiatric providers in my rural community of Meeker, Colorado and surrounding areas. By furthering my education, I am able to provide specialized, thoughtful, empathetic psychiatric care.
I obtained a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling with a specialization in Trauma and Crisis Response in 2013, and I'm a credentialed Licensed Professional Counselor, and Licensed Addictions Counselor in the State of Colorado. The clients I typically see present with a wide variety of issues, including, but not limited to: depression, anxiety, trauma/PTSD, OCD, substance use disorders, relational distress, life transitions, self-esteem issues, burnout, and stress management.

Hi, I’m Dianna Johnson, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and Certified Addiction Specialist (CAS) with over two decades of experience helping people find hope, healing, and meaningful change. I work with adolescents, adults, and seniors navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, addiction, relationship issues, and stress management.
I’m especially passionate about supporting individuals living with Borderline Personality Disorder and those who struggle with impulsivity or emotional intensity. My goal is to help you better understand yourself, build emotional balance, and create healthier, more fulfilling relationships.
I’m a trauma‐informed therapist who believes healing doesn’t require perfection—just honesty, compassion, and a willingness to take the next small step. Most of the people I work with are balancing careers, relationships, parenting, and the invisible emotional load that comes with everyday life. They’re strong, capable, and exhausted from carrying more than anyone realizes.
Clients often tell me they appreciate that I’m real, relatable, and not the kind of therapist who just nods silently. I show up fully. I help you connect the dots. And I hold space for the parts of you that have been working so hard for so long.
If you’re looking for a therapist who understands the realities of everyday life and offers nonjudgemental compassionate support, I’d be honored to work with you.
Hi there- I'm Christina! Therapy is a space where we can find ourselves exploring ranges of insight, pain, joy, love, and everything in between. There is no right way of doing therapy, and I foster a safe space that allows you to create your own therapeutic journey.
I have 13+ years of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults, addressing trauma, anxiety, depression, behavioral concerns, loss/grief, self-esteem, and coping strategies.
Hello! I have 15 years of experience working with depression, anxiety, and trauma in various work settings. I specialize in trauma, ADHD and Perinatal Mental Health. I am trained in EMDR and am very passionate about continuing to learn all I can in these areas.
Welcome to my therapy practice!
My work is focused on helping people develop healthy, productive, and satisfying lives and relationships. I see individuals who are dealing with a range of issues, including depression, anxiety, trauma, stress, addiction, as well as relationship troubles, creative blocks and challenging life transitions. I have a special affinity for those who identify as "highly sensitive" and who feel extra challenged navigating the harshness of the world.

Find the right therapist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Colorado
Searching for therapists in Colorado means choosing from a wide range of licensed therapists across urban, suburban, and rural areas. Your options may vary depending on where you live, what kind of support you want, and whether you prefer in-person or virtual care. If you’re looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, trauma, grief, or life transitions, start by looking for a therapist whose listed specialties match your needs. Provider bios can also show whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy.
Location and scheduling matter when comparing Colorado therapists. Someone in Denver may have access to many nearby offices, while someone in Colorado Springs, Fort Collins, or a mountain or rural community may want to include virtual sessions in their search. Some people prefer meeting in a therapist’s office, while others choose virtual appointments for more flexibility. As you narrow your options, review whether each therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that fit your schedule, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand communication style, session structure, and what to expect in the first appointment.
The cost of therapy in Colorado can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps by verifying your insurance, showing estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and connecting you with licensed therapists who are accepting new patients. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and you can confirm coverage for your location and plan as you search — making it easier to find a therapist who matches your needs, accepts your insurance, and has availability.
