Transgender Therapists in Longmont, CO

Freedom - Power - Transformation - Sensuality - Joy - I collaborate with adults via telehealth to nurture new ways of relating using an eclectic, compassionate, evidence-based, consent-based, trauma-informed, and intuitive therapeutic approach. The people who come to me are experiencing challenges regulating emotions, difficulty with relationships, have histories of trauma, and know oppression. I believe in mutual liberation.

I can best support anyone wanting to better themselves and live a life directed by their values. I will be on the ground floor with my clients supporting the structures that are needed to build life skills, create movement from stuckness and find value where they are feeling hopeless.

I love working alongside adults and teens who are ready to explore what is going on underneath their symptoms. Clients I support seek therapy for help with anxiety, depression, self-harm, and/or suicidal ideation among other difficult things. Often (though not always), clients are part of the LGBTQ+ community and are interested in figuring out how their experience of gender identity and/or sexuality fits into their mental health and lives. First, we get to know you better while we find ways to cope with symptoms. When you’re ready, we take a deep dive together into what’s causing life to feel hard, unmanageable, or even unlivable.

Have you ever..... Felt confused, angry, upset, or depressed? Not sure which way to go in work or in a relationship? Are health or substance issues getting in the way? Did you have a difficult childhood and the memories and emotions still haunt you? Possibly considering medication? My focus is to help you get the results you desire, and get on with your life! Sessions are effective and teach you the tools to get results and happiness in your life. We often have quite a bit of fun in the process.

You'll be welcomed by Halley with warmth and a bit of humor when you meet with her. You'll experience a genuine therapeutic connection that can allow you to ask hard questions and help you to find answers. Halley's clients can overcome a multitude of issues, such as depression, anxiety, gender identity, and challenges related to intimacy, religion, and family relationships.

Are you wanting to feel that you are good enough? Anxiety, grief, trauma, relational wounding, and oppression can really shake our belief in ourselves, others, and the world. Working together, you will cultivate relief by developing trust in your inner strengths, increasing your ability to manage stress, processing past wounding, and tending to ongoing challenges. We will weave in the impacts that systems of oppression have had on your well-being. I don't have a magic wand that can make the pain or life challenges disappear. And it is possible to cultivate a larger container that holds the complexities of being human with more ease.

I work with individuals who want to make a change in their life but solutions and where to start feel far or impossible. We will become a team that will learn what you need and how to get you to where you want to be. Ideally, an individual working with me would be open to bringing nature and or movement into the session, however, that is not required. I simply believe that trauma, anxiety, and other symptoms can get stuck in the body and movement helps as well as nature. Walking creates linear thinking and fresh air can give a sense of calmness.

My name is Joy and I have been in the mental health field since 2015. My first professional experiences were with grief counseling and restorative justice intervention. These experiences showed me the power of connection and I am committed to using our relationship to help you reach your goals. I use a combination of techniques from humanistic, neuroscience-based, attachment theory, and solution focused to help you explore relationships, emotions, identity, and purpose. The first step in effective tinkering is to look at all the parts, because all parts are valuable.

I specialize in guiding individuals, relationships, and families as they navigate significant life transitions including changes in career, relationship, gender & sexuality, as well as coming into greater purpose and passion in life. Our work together may be short-term or medium-term as I support you to process an ending or to build a new beginning. Your work with me may include developing a therapeutic connection with horses, who can powerfully support you to come into deeper contact with yourself, your goals, and your needs.

What would your life be like if you could love yourself freely? What’s getting in the way? A compulsive behavior? Fear? Shame? Grief? A story left over from childhood? You may not know but you’d like to. One client described working with me as, “An immersive experience into my subconscious that was actually energizing! I’ve been in therapy my entire adult life. I wish I had known sooner that this is an option!” Somatic hypnotherapy is great for neutralizing anxiety, phobias, childhood wounds, codependency, self-sabotage, addictions, etc. making it possible for Love to flow through you in your everyday life. It’s your birthright!

Hello, my name is Ben, and I work with adults of all backgrounds, mental states, and social locations, using techniques, philosophies, and practices from around the world. I have extensive experience working with severe mental illness, addiction, trauma, social challenges, chronic illness & pain, and depression and anxiety. If you struggle to feel connected, to feel purposeful, to feel good most of the time, these are all issues I'd like to help with.

My counseling style embraces the principles of Positive Psychology, which is based upon the belief that we should be as concerned with a person's strengths as well as their weaknesses. This approach takes a client-centered approach; building the best parts of an individual's life, as well as repairing the worst. I believe in using a kind yet direct approach with my clients working in a non-judgmental manner meeting clients directly where they are in life. My strong belief in the healing process has allowed me to have the honor of being a part of positive change in the lives of my clients.

At Colorado Healing Collective (CHC) we believe that the healing of the individual is the key to the healing of our world.

We believe that through psychotherapy, training, education, and building an awareness and acceptance of self and others, each of us can be important facilitators of personal and global change.

Areas of expertise: childhood abuse, grief, anxiety, depression, and how to manage an addicted love one. I also specialize in couples and family counseling. I see teens, clients with gender identity issues, clients who are bipolar or have a personality disorder. Feedback from clients: "I finally understand how to cope with the emotionally immature person in my life." "Dawn is honest with me about things I need to improve on." "My husband and I are now able to discuss money, sex and co-parenting without fighting." "Dawn helped me stop the pattern of generational abuse in my family." "I am enjoying my life again! Thank you."

I work with the notion that people are naturally motivated to find meaning in their lives. As people search for meaning they may suffer emotionally, spiritually and psychologically and respond reactively rather than attentively. Counseling is a way to observe the reactive patterns in your life that are causing you to suffer. I will support you in discovering options to your life's challenges. I provide a place for you to observe and practice alternative ways of self-expression and I work with you towards solutions that will empower you to make the changes you want in your life. Models used: IFS, CBT and ACT

I work with those facing life transitions, uncertainty, or longing for more fulfillment in their lives and relationships. I love to help individuals relate to their inner wisdom, connect with joy and fuel their passions using a holistic approach. I am guided by the heartfelt belief that a good therapeutic alliance can improve lives through gaining perspective, building skills, and mindful attention. My clients report feeling more empowered, embodied and connected after our work together. My goal is to help individuals connect with their deep inner resources to lead richer, more satisfying lives.

Welcome to this journey regardless if therapy is new or familiar to you. I strive to create a compassionate, kind, yet appropriately challenging space for self-acceptance, transformation, and insight. Through relational and cultural lenses that include awareness and mindfulness as ground, I believe all obstacles and challenges can be explored. I hope to walk with you along this path of discovering your innate wisdom, potential for growth, healing, and transformation.

Even the "little" things feel overwhelming. Balancing work, relationships, and that inner voice that says you're not good enough is a constant struggle. Dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, or relationship distress can make you feel like you're losing control. Despite looking like you've got your shit together, you're plagued with self-doubt, irritability, and a sense of hopelessness, and it's hard to make lasting changes. To put it plainly, life feels exhausting. But now, you're determined to break the cycle. You’re ready for relief, to quiet your mind, and above all, to take control of your life.

Do uncertainties in life make it hard for you to relax? Do you wake overwhelmed, burdened by what you need to sort out? You might feel disconnected from your body, off-balance, and constantly afraid of disappointing others. Life seems like a heavy load, and the happiness and carefreeness you once felt now evade you. Support Is Here: You’re Not Alone.
