Our therapists provide family therapy in Pueblo, CO

I am a licensed professional counselor with experience working with adolescents, adults, and families in outpatient, community-based, home-based, and child welfare settings. I earned my Master of Science in Counseling and Guidance from Kansas State University and have spent my career providing individual and family therapy, crisis intervention, assessment, and treatment planning. My experience includes working with at-risk youth and families involved with social services and juvenile justice systems, as well as individuals navigating trauma, substance use, mental health concerns, relationship difficulties, and life transitions.

I bring a warm, collaborative approach, believing the relationship is key to meaningful change. I'm compassionate but direct when needed. Using CBT and trauma-informed care, I'm especially passionate about working with adolescents, women, and families. I also spent over a decade running a real estate business, giving me a broad perspective on resilience.

I believe therapy should feel human. Clients do not have to arrive with everything figured out or know exactly what they want to change. I meet people where they are and help them understand themselves, recognize their strengths, develop healthier ways of coping and relating to others, and move toward a life that feels more authentic and fulfilling.

Hello, my name is Karla and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I have a professional background experience working in Child Protection Therapy, Grief and Loss, Depression, Anxiety, Trauma, Substance Use Disorders, and Crisis. I have worked with individuals both adults and adolescents who may be experiencing challenges and disruptions in their lives and life roles due to various causes and helping them build skills to help in day to day life and responsibilities. My goal is to listen, help support, and help to build coping skills and strategies for the individual to live the fullest life possible.

I utilize empathic listening to help first understand the primary issue an individual may be experiencing. Through a Person Centered approach my goal is to help individuals recognize their own skills, strengths, and abilities they bring to the therapeutic setting to help promote self understanding, personal growth and healing.

Life can bring painful experiences and can really put you down. Making the decision to come to therapy can be frightening, uncertain, and can provoke further angst and reservation. I am here to encourage you to take the first step in your healing process and will do my best to help support you and help you along your life journey.

I'm a therapist with a practical approach grounded in DBT and behavioral principles. I work with clients stuck in intense emotions, anxiety, shame, or repeating relationship patterns. I draw from DBT, CBT, and behavioral strategies while keeping work collaborative and tailored to you. Many clients want clear tools and practice to manage overwhelm, reduce reactivity, improve communication, and feel more steady. Whether navigating stress, transitions, neurodivergent traits, or patterns that don't match who you're trying to be, my goal is to help you feel understood and empowered—with a practical plan you can use.

My style is warm, direct, practical. I use DBT and behavioral strategies to help you identify patterns and practice skills that work. I also use CBT for thinking patterns. You can expect collaboration, accountability, and real-world focus through coping plans and communication practice. My goal is for you to leave with skills you can use independently.

If you've been carrying a lot while staying functional, you're not alone. Therapy is a place where you feel genuinely understood and learn skills to make life more manageable, one step at a time. If you're ready for supportive, practical work grounded in real change and compassion, I'd be honored to work with you. Schedule an appointment when you're ready.

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. 

Hi, I’m Gwen Koenig, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 30 years of experience in child welfare and behavioral health. I’ve developed a deep understanding of how trauma and adversity shape the way we think, feel, and connect with others. I welcome adolescents, adults, and families into my practice, many of whom are struggling with depression, anxiety, major life changes, or past trauma. My goal is to help you feel understood, build practical tools for managing what feels overwhelming, and rediscover a sense of hope and connection. I welcome clients of all backgrounds, including those who identify as LGBTQ+.

My approach is collaborative, warm, and grounded in the belief that you already have strengths to build on. I draw on a strengths-based lens, a person-in-environment perspective, motivational interviewing, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help you build coping skills at your own pace. You can expect a safe, nonjudgmental space with honest support.

Reaching out for help takes courage. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or ready for something to change, you don’t have to figure it out alone. I believe in your capacity to heal and grow, and I’d be honored to walk alongside you. When you’re ready, I invite you to schedule an appointment so we can begin this journey together.
