About
I believe healing happens when you feel genuinely heard, respected, and supported as a whole person, not just a diagnosis.
I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) with 15 years of experience providing compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric care. I work with children ages 10 and older, adolescents, and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD, mood disorders, trauma, and psychotic disorders. Many of the clients I support feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, or stuck and are seeking clarity, stability, and relief.
I earned my master’s degree in nursing from the University of South Alabama. My approach is collaborative, individualized, and compassionate, with a focus on understanding each client’s full experience, strengths, and goals. I provide thoughtful evaluations, clear education, and treatment planning that may include medication management and supportive care.
Seeking mental health care can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. I strive to meet clients with respect, understanding, and support while helping them improve emotional well-being and daily functioning. I would be honored to support you as you take the next step toward healing and growth when you feel ready.

As a veteran and trauma-informed therapist, I understand that our experiences can shape how we see ourselves and the world around us, and I strive to create a space where clients feel safe, heard, and empowered to better understand themselves and the experiences that have shaped them.
I am a Licensed Social Worker and trauma-informed therapist with extensive experience working with adolescents, adults, and families. Throughout my career, I have supported people navigating trauma, anxiety, grief and loss, behavioral and emotional challenges, family conflict, crisis, and difficult life transitions. I work with clients who may feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, or unsure of what comes next, helping them better understand their experiences, develop healthier ways of coping, strengthen relationships, and build confidence in themselves and their ability to navigate life’s challenges.
I believe therapy works best when clients feel comfortable being honest and know they will be met without judgment. I take a practical, individualized approach, helping clients recognize patterns, build coping and communication skills, and identify strategies that fit their lives. I value authenticity, and working alongside each client at their own pace.
Reaching out for support can be difficult, especially when you have been carrying things on your own for a long time. You do not have to have everything figured out before beginning therapy. Wherever you are right now, we can start there. If you feel I may be a good fit for you or your family, I invite you to schedule an appointment.

As a Hispanic counselor, I bring both professional experience and personal understanding of how culture, loss, and trauma can shape our lives. My therapeutic approach is compassionate, collaborative, and person-centered, creating a supportive space where clients can process difficult experiences, build practical coping skills, and work toward meaningful change at their own pace.
Hi, I'm Brittany, a licensed professional counselor (LPC) and national certified counselor (NCC). I work with teens and adults navigating life transitions, stress, trauma, loss, relationship challenges, and experiences that leave them feeling stuck. My approach is supportive, straightforward, and down-to-earth. Therapy should be a space where you can be yourself while growing. I work collaboratively with my clients to understand their experiences, develop practical coping skills, and make meaningful changes. My goal is to help you leave therapy with tools and insights that extend beyond our sessions.
My approach is straightforward, supportive, and collaborative. I create a space where you can be yourself and grow. I believe laughter matters in therapy. I use CBT, DBT, solution-focused techniques, and trauma-informed care to help develop coping skills and confidence. My goal is tackling difficult things with humor and connection.
Starting therapy can feel uncomfortable when you're used to handling things alone. You don't need everything figured out before walking through the door. We'll start where you are and build from there. If you're ready for a space where you can be yourself, feel supported, laugh, and grow, I invite you to schedule an appointment and see if we're a good fit.

A therapist dedicated to helping people find their sense of purpose and identity and helping people heal from experiences that may be preventing growth and contentment in life.
My name is Chad. I began my journey in mental health treatment in 2009 after leaving seven years of service in the United States Air Force. I earned a Masters in Counseling Psychology in 2012 and achieved licensure in 2014.I was certified in EMDR in 2011 and have been actively treating trauma symptoms for over 15 years. I've learned to integrate CBT and Narrative therapy into my practice for a more complete approach to recovery. I also help clients build boundaries, improve coping skills, develop better communication methods, resolve conflict more effectively, and pursue their life goals.
Life experiences shape how we see and respond to the world. Some lead to growth and strength. Others—toxic people, traumatic events, undeserved hardship—limit our sense of identity and control. Improved boundaries and communication help clients build healthier support. Trauma therapies help heal from past wounds and live more fully in the present.
Everybody has their own story. I'm looking forward to hearing from you and helping you write the next chapters in your life. Nothing is certain, but I will offer you the best guidance and insight I can provide and help you take your next steps forward. I look forward to meeting you and beginning this journey together.

My go-to approach for treating depression is to start by guessing that the client is likely doing their best. I find the best benefit in starting with small, nearly 100% attainable goals to begin pushing back against the loneliness, self-defeat, and lack of motivation that often accompanies depression.Suicidality and self-harm often accompany depression. I encourage clients to maintain awareness of these symptoms through honest, open conversation with me so we can attend to safety concerns while keeping the client at the least-restrictive level of care possible.
Tools I use for counseling depression include:
I know a client is making meaningful progress in counseling for depression when they begin reporting greater access to emotions - not just joy, but also hurt, sadness, excitement, gratitude, grief, etc. Depression is not simply the absence of joy but can also be the absence of other emotions. Clients are making progress when the effects of their depressive symptoms no longer prevent them from achieving short and long-term goals, hopes, and dreams.
In their personal time, clients can supplement their time in counseling for depression by maintaining awareness of thoughts, situations, or people that may trigger depressive symptoms, as well as noticing times when they are not feeling this way. Focusing on mindfulness and treating oneself kindly are key factors in treating depressive symptoms.
To prepare for your first counseling session for depression, all you need to do is schedule the appointment! Sometimes just starting therapy and showing up is half the work, and clients do not need to be stressed about being “prepared” for a first appointment. Try to lean on a support person who knows you will be starting therapy who you can check in with after your first session. If you would like, it may be helpful to identify 2-3 areas of life in which you notice depressive symptoms as the most impactful.
Depression counseling can help those with major depression, minor depression, postpartum depression, persistent depressive disorder, and more. The providers at Thriveworks in Colorado Springs, CO will develop a unique treatment plan based on your specific experience, needs, and goals.
It is absolutely worth going to therapy for depression — depression counseling helps people better manage their symptoms and get back to living happier lives again.
Depression counseling works by helping people pinpoint life problems, distorted thought patterns, and other causes of their depression, then process and work through them in order to mitigate the negative effects those factors have on their lives.
Common signs of depression include:
