Transgender Therapists in La Salle, CO

Hello, and welcome! Are you finding life's challenges pretty overwhelming at times? I've been there, and I understand. I can help you explore those challenges and find the best way for you to address them. Are you at a crossroads in your journey, feeling that there must be more in life for you to experience? I've been helping clients with these and other concerns for over 35 years. I can help with anxiety, depression, gender and sexuality issues, health concerns, and grief and loss. Your sessions with me will be at least a full 60 minutes; I just don't believe in the "50 minute hour!" My education and experience as a registered nurse and psychotherapist allows me to provide you with an integrated and holistic approach to whatever you are experiencing in your life. Our emotions and mental status are always intertwined with our physical health and need to be approached as a whole. I also believe that we are more than our mind/body selves. There are aspects to our lives that cannot be explained by traditional studies, and these need to be acknowledged, too.

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.

Accepting New Clients Today! No matter where you're at in life, there can be a lot of challenges that increase or cause distress. From having difficulty communicating with family members to struggling with adapting to life's changes. From challenges in developing healthy peer relationships to dealing with conflict within your support group. We are all dealing with so many changes in our lives, it can become overwhelming without someone who can be non-judgmental, unbiased, and able to provide unconditional acceptance to help navigate those changes. Our practice specializes in children, adolescents, adults, families, and couples!

Do you need more time to work on past trauma then an hour a week allows you? Do you have an amazing therapist but wish you could have the time/space to dig deeper into your suicidality, your religious trauma or parts of your trauma that are hard for others to hold? Are you looking for an out of the box form of therapy that supports your intense personality or busy lifestyle? Jess would love to consult with you about what a customized intensive could mean to you.

I help clients become their best selves through self-exploration, empowerment and identifying self-defeating behaviors and patterns. I always offer a non-judgmental environment and unconditional positive regard. Often, one already holds the keys to unlocking the potential within and finding the answers to what is holding them back. Reconnecting with your OWN wisdom in therapy gives you the power to recognize your worth and needs, improve relationships, and fully care for yourself. It is time to heal experiences that affect feeling whole; childhood hurts, family problems, grief, and trauma. I can help you live your authentic life.

I am dedicated to providing compassionate care to clients navigating life’s challenges. I emphasize creating meaning, mindfulness, and deep inquiry into what we need to thrive and flourish. I endeavor to create a space where you can creatively and safely journey through your inner and outer worlds.

The problems we struggle with seek to define and marginalize our identities as humans. The power that various problems seek to have in our lives can leave us feeling lost, helpless, and alone. Counseling can be a great place to begin to separate our identities from our struggles, where the problem does not get to define us as humans. My goal is to join you in this process and support the creation of a new identity, where the problem no longer gets to hold the mirror from which our own reflections are seen.

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.

We all go through times of sef-doubt, depression and anxiety. Life change can amplify these. I believe all feelings are valid, because we are feeling them. What we think about them can be harmful or helpful in a situation. Being very present creates calm as we are in the situation as it happens rather than in the past or future thinking about what we did or will do. This practice strengthens relationships as well as offers personal insight and growth. My job as the therapist is to allow my clients a place to explore the space in their heads. I help clients accept and understand their emotions creating new behavior patterns.

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.

Was your birth traumatic but you don't want to complain because "it could have been worse?" Have you gone through a rape or abuse and while everyone means well, they just don't get it? Is your mood all over the place and you are tired of feeling this way? Trauma can leave you feeling alone, unsure and frightened; it might be hard on your relationships or you might be avoiding things because of intrusive thoughts or emotions that come up.

Schedule now through my website in my bio! Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself” (Rumi). As a trauma survivor on a personal healing journey, I learned how to help others simultaneously. Healing was hard work, but finding the right therapist was a huge piece of the puzzle. Traditional therapy fails so many trauma survivors. I aim to go beyond talk therapy to find the right modality for each unique client. It is a passion of mine to work with clients who face problems of trauma, stress, coping with depression, and anxiety such as military veterans, and survivors of abuse.
