Our therapists offer help for LGBTQ+ issues in Colorado Springs, CO

I am Dr. Benjamin T. Finlayson, PhD, LMFT-S, a relational and couples therapist specializing in LGBTQIA+ affirming care. I work with individuals, couples, and families navigating relationship challenges, communication difficulties, identity exploration, and life transitions. My clients often seek deeper connection, stronger communication, and practical tools to build healthier, more satisfying relationships while feeling truly understood and supported in therapy.

I use evidence-based methods including EFT, SFBT, and relational approaches to support clients through relationship growth, conflict resolution, identity exploration, career and family transitions, and personal enrichment. Clients can expect practical tools, compassionate guidance, and strategies to foster meaningful, lasting change.

Seeking support can feel challenging, but you don't have to navigate it alone. I am committed to creating a safe, affirming space where you feel seen and valued. When you're ready, I welcome the opportunity to support you in deepening connection, enhancing communication, and cultivating fulfilling relationships.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 10 years of experience providing therapy to children, adolescents, and adults. I specialize in helping individuals navigate trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, grief and loss, family conflict, and life's many transitions. My approach is strength-based, holistic, and trauma-informed, with a focus on helping clients build resilience, develop practical coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change.

I earned my Master of Social Work from Columbia University and have advanced training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), and Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP). Throughout my career, I have supported individuals and families facing a wide range of emotional, behavioral, and relational challenges.

I believe therapy is most effective when it is built on trust, collaboration, and connection. My goal is to create a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered to explore your experiences. Together, we will build on your strengths, navigate life's challenges, and work toward goals that align with your values.

Jaelyn Aragon is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who specializes in working with children, teens, and adults who are struggling to cope with issues related to addiction, depression, anxiety, undeveloped coping skills, chronic illness, family conflict, trauma, PTSD, sexual or physical abuse, parenting difficulties, and much more. 

Jaelyn works from a person-centered approach that borrows strategies from narrative therapy and insights from an existential lens. She knows that the client is an expert on themselves, but may need guidance from a counselor to help navigate the trials and tribulations of life. Jaelyn’s journey into counseling began with her work at Safe Passage Children’s Advocacy Center, where she volunteered for over two years. The experience taught her the value of meeting a client at whatever place or mindset they are in, and she learned how to respond to a range of emotional situations while being an advocate for the client’s best interest.

Jaelyn knows that everyone carries experiences that help to shape who they are. She is devoted to helping people process those experiences. Reach out to schedule a session with her, where you'll work together as a team to start achieving your personal goals. 

Hello! My name is Sherry McCoy and I am an ANCC certified Psychiatric Mental Health Clinical Nurse Specialist. I have been working in this role since 2011. Prior to 2011, I spent many years working as an RN. I treat patients with depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, grief, and many other psychiatric issues. I enjoy helping people achieve the best possible version of themselves! When I see a new patient for the first time, I like to get to know them. I ask questions both about your history, and your future treatment goals in order to help you identify the most appropriate treatment plan possible. 

I believe that your treatment plan should reflect both where you are currently, and where you would like to be in the future. I will do my best to help you achieve your goals!

Everyone should have the opportunity to be the best version of themselves possible. I would be honored to work with you to achieve your personal treatment goals. If you are ready to begin this journey, please schedule an appointment and we will get started as soon as possible.
