Therapists in Greeley, CO

“Courage starts with showing up and letting ourselves be seen.” -Brene Brown- Life oftentimes feels so overwhelming and is accompanied by emotions that can be confusing and feel out of control. Thankfully, we don’t have to face the storms of life alone. I believe that connection with others and with ourselves is one of the most core components of the healing journey. I consider it a great honor to walk alongside those willing to share their stories, no matter how messy it may seem.

I have been counseling since 1991, my passion has been to help people achieve their greatest potential using counseling, spiritual direction and Neurofeedback. I enjoy working with people desiring to heal and strengthen their marriages, those working through life challenges and long term goals as well as discerning direction at times of major life transition.

For some people, the decision to seek counseling can be overwhelming. Finding the right provider and feeling like you are in a safe space can sometimes be a challenge. Reina's goal as a therapist is to create a place where clients feel empowered, secure, and seen. Reina utilizes an integrative counseling approach, which allows her to tailor your treatment to your unique needs. Reina works with clients of all ages and in all seasons of life.

Anxiety, depression and self critical thoughts can take the joy from our lives and leave us feeling hopeless and alone. Our relationship with food may be unhealthy and we may feel suicidal or compelled to self harm. We want to move through the world with confidence while living a life of purpose but are overwhelmed and feel stuck. Goals go unmet, and our world becomes smaller as we resist challenges in our social life, school and career, out of fear and discomfort. We want to have more friends, do well in school and have a satisfying job or family life. We want to be happy and fulfilled.

Are you struggling in marital, parenting, or other significant relationships, feeling overwhelmed and anxious, challenged to manage your mental health, or simply feeling alone? Life can be difficult but was not meant to be handled on your own. In my counseling and neurofeedback practice, I seek to provide a warm and non-judgmental environment in which clients can feel free to be themselves as they sort through life challenges and difficult relationships. I would be honored to join you in your journey, helping you experience growth and healing in your emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being at a pace comfortable to you.

Connecting with a therapist is no easy task these days. Finding a person who will listen without judgement, honor your current struggles, and sit with you as you sort through your next steps is an important part of connection. Whether you appreciate some humor, prefer to snuggle my therapy dog, or participate in hands on art, music, sand, or play therapy interventions, I have many ways to create connection with my clients. I also use creative interventions for clinical individual or group supervisions for graduate level students or LPCCs!

I am so glad you're here. Seeking support is a powerful step toward improving your well-being, and I would be honored to be part of that process with you. In our work together, you can expect compassion, empathy, humor, directness, and a commitment to your growth. I believe in meeting you with openness and authenticity, allowing you to feel comfortable sharing your true self so that therapy can be most effective. My priority is to provide a supportive and safe space for you to explore your experiences, identify patterns in your life, and develop effective coping strategies for whatever you are facing.

I enjoy working with clients who are interested in gaining further insight into patterns in their life and who hope to feel empowered to make changes. I believe that times of transition in life, while usually stressful, also provide immense opportunities for growth. I consider it a privilege to work with clients during these times in life and to help them use their resilience as a tool. Some examples of transition periods in life include, but are not limited to: start or end of relationships, death of a loved one, moving, career changes, starting or finishing college, birth of a child, marriage, or divorce.

I currently specialize in providing evidence-based and trauma-focused psychotherapy to adults, couples, and teenagers in order to strengthen resiliency, promote stability in the home, and improve family functioning. I have extensive experience working with adults and teens with depressive or anxiety issues, couples, behavioral issues, LGBT issues, and school-based issues. I work directly with individuals to ensure that even the most challenging or threatening behaviors can be managed.

I bring over 20 years of experience working with individuals, couples, families, groups and organizations. I can help you transition through your current challenges to find stable ground. In counseling, you will rediscover your inner resources and maximize your many skills and talents. Most importantly, I want you to feel comfortable and confident in your work with me. I offer a free consultation so you can come in and discuss your challenges and find out if we are the right fit. I will help you successfully overcome the hardships that are holding you back.

It is essential to have a counselor that you feel comfortable with and is your "best fit" counselor. I provide a warm, authentic and non-judgmental environment where you can face challenges and work through difficulties while receiving genuine support. My approach to counseling is collaborative, compassionate, identity-affirming, culturally informed, relational and strengths based. I believe in giving you the time and attention you deserve and offer high quality care in a compassionate, supportive and culturally responsive environment to help you gain insight and live a healthier and happier life.

You have within yourself the answers you are looking for; my job is to help you find those answers.

My approach begins with the belief that the human experience is to know both joy and pain, & every variation of emotion in-between, often in the same moment. I believe that which has been wounded in relationship must be healed in relationship. In order for your true self to emerge it must be witnessed. Just as our deepest glory must be held, so too must our wounds. In these places we will engage a posture of curiosity of how those wounds have impacted your style of relating and the ways you have had to adapt to cope.

My practice focuses on integrating one's body and mind awareness. I work well with clients who are interested in building their resilience as opposed to examining pathologies. I believe you have the innate ability to heal in a safe and nurturing environment.
