Transgender Therapists in Fort Collins, CO
Whether you're just in a bit of a rut or are looking to do some deep soul searching work, you have come to the right place. I see each client as a whole person rather than as a collection of symptoms and want to work with you to understand how you got to where you are and how to get you to where you would like to be. I specialize in working with LGBTQIA+ related issues, Anxiety, Panic Disorder, OCD, Agoraphobia, ADHD, ASD, Depression, and Life Transitions. Additionally, I am currently accepting clients in search of stand alone Gender Affirming Care Evaluations for Gender Affirming Surgery (GAS) and Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT).

Have you struggled with feeling out of place? Feeling lost or overwhelmed with your day-to-day? Never feeling like your trauma or past adverse experiences lets you breathe? I would love the opportunity to chat and work with anyone that is ready to address traumas, pain, or suffering they're currently experiencing. I believe that everyone deserves to thrive, but sometimes we need some support and help getting there. I have particular interest in helping with navigating masculinity, intersectionality, identity development, self-worth, and distress tolerance.

My name is AnnElizabeth Card, I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist (Colo. PSY0006208). I am a feminist psychologist who works from a culturally informed perspective. I believe the important work of psychotherapy is to enhance present skills and develop stronger experiences of identity, choices, and self-determination. I see my role as helping you decide who you, who you might choose to become, and how you will respond to your goals, struggles, and strengths. My therapeutic approach focuses on the stories we hold about ourselves and how they inform our identities.

Life can be difficult. Dealing with the stressors of school, work, parenting, and traumatic events can make you feel like you are drowning. Add to that the many beliefs out there that tell us we are not good enough and it leads down a dark path. There is hope. If you are struggling with guilt and hopelessness of not being good enough, or the constant overwhelming feelings of losing your mind, you are not alone. You do not need to turn to things that only temporarily make you feel "ok." You are enough and we can work together to overcome those obstacles. You deserve more. Change your mind. You deserve to thrive.

I'm a warm and caring therapist who knows the value of humor, and I bring that into my work to help balance and cope with the more difficult parts of life. I'm trained in harm reduction, a collaborative approach between client and therapist that incorporates the belief that abstinence is one solution to drug and alcohol misuse but not the only solution. I also have experience with moderation management for alcohol use.

Does "getting up and out the door" seem to be a daily struggle? It's 8am and your mind is "so full" with worry /racing thoughts that you can't remember where you put your own car keys. You are late for work...again. Your loved one asks you why you snap at them and you wish you had an answer. Maybe memories from a painful loss or traumatic experience still haunt you, or you can't sleep. Since you can't sleep maybe you drink/smoke a bit more or scroll your phone all night. You stopped going out/ socializing because you feel alone even around other people. You just want to feel "like yourself" again but forgot who that is...

OFFICES IN DENVER AND FORT COLLINS. From couples wanting a better connection, to those trying to overcome infidelity and other relationship injuries, I will, in a non-judgemental compassionate manner, help you learn a more authentic way of communicating that can result in increased intimacy and stronger bonds that continue improving well beyond the end of therapy. My method of couples treatment is Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). A short term structured approach, EFT is extensively researched with studies showing 70% to 75% of couples move from distress to recovery, often accompanied by decreased symptoms of other mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, and PTSD.
