EAP:Evernorth Therapists in Colorado Springs, CO

I believe that being human is beautifully complicated. We all carry experiences that shape how we think, feel, connect, and navigate the world. Some of those experiences strengthen us, while others leave us questioning who we are, why we feel the way we do, or how to move forward. As a therapist, I bring warmth, curiosity, authenticity, and a genuine appreciation for the complexities of the human experience. My approach is compassionate but also direct. I believe meaningful growth comes from feeling understood while also being gently challenged to explore the patterns, beliefs, and experiences that may be keeping you stuck. I don't believe therapy should feel like someone simply nodding and asking how that makes you feel. I believe it should be a collaborative experience that encourages insight, self-discovery, and lasting change. My own life experiences have deepened my understanding that resilience doesn't always look like strength, healing isn't always linear, and sometimes simply navigating another day requires tremendous courage. These perspectives influence how I connect with others, allowing me to approach each person with humility, understanding, and respect for their individual journey. I have a particular passion for understanding the deeper layers of human behavior, especially the ways trauma, relationships, and life experiences influence our sense of self. I welcome difficult conversations, complicated emotions, and the parts of your story you may have never felt comfortable sharing. Above all, I believe you deserve to be seen as a whole person, not a diagnosis, a collection of symptoms, or the most difficult chapter of your life. My goal is to help you better understand yourself, recognize your strengths, and discover that meaningful change is possible without losing the parts of yourself that make you who you are.

My goal as a counselor is simple: help people find freedom from the challenges that keep them feeling stuck. Throughout my career I've worked with individuals facing trauma, anxiety, emotional overwhelm, burnout, and significant life stressors. My experience includes private practice counseling, trauma systems therapy, and intensive behavioral health settings. I believe counseling should be both compassionate and practical. While understanding your story is important, therapy should also provide tools that help you navigate everyday life with greater confidence and resilience. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, burnout, relationship challenges, trauma, or major life transitions, my goal is to help you move toward lasting change.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who is passionate about helping people navigate life's challenges and better understand themselves. I recognize that starting therapy can feel intimidating, and I believe finding a therapist you genuinely connect with is an important part of the process. My goal is to create a comfortable, nonjudgmental space where you can show up as you are, feel heard, and work through challenges at your own pace. I take a collaborative approach to therapy, focusing on your individual needs and goals while helping you develop practical tools to deal with life's ups and downs.

I am a licensed therapist who helps adults move through anxiety, life transitions, relationship stress, and the emotional impact of trauma. My approach is calm, compassionate, and down to earth. I create a safe space where clients can slow down, feel understood, and learn practical skills that support real change. I blend Trauma Focused CBT, mindfulness, and strengths based work to help clients feel grounded and confident again. My goal is to help you reconnect with your sense of self so you can meet challenges with clarity and resilience. I believe healing happens when you feel supported, heard, and empowered to build a life that feels steady and meaningful.

My name is Miguel Lopez, a Hispanic male (He/Him/His) and U.S. Army combat veteran who brings a unique perspective to my work as a therapist. Fluent in Spanish and passionate about guiding people through life’s challenges, I hold a Master’s in Social Work from Walden University, a Bachelor’s in Criminal Justice from Colorado Technical University, and an Associate’s in Criminal Justice from Pikes Peak State College. With over a decade of experience as a caseworker, substance abuse counselor, and therapist, I’ve had the privilege of working with diverse clients facing real-life struggles and in need of daily support. Life can be tough, and we all face difficult moments—whether it’s a breakup, divorce, grief, the loss of a loved one or pet, or even a job loss. In these times, having an unbiased person to offer support can make a world of difference. I see trauma as an unexpected part of life that is often hard to process, but with the right help, it can be managed and overcome healthily. I’ve personally experienced more than my share of trauma, grief, loss, sadness, depression, and substance use, and I sought help to work through them. My approach to therapy is centered on helping people in the best way possible, always with an open mind. I often use Maslow’s hierarchy of needs as a guide, because I believe mental health is hard to prioritize when physical needs aren’t met, or issues like homelessness or substance abuse are present. I enjoy working with clients from age 5 to older adults who face Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, PTSD, Mood Disorders, Personality Disorders, and other mental health or substance use challenges. It’s easy to fight battles alone and suffer in silence, but you don’t have to anymore—together, we can work toward healing and a better future.

I’ve been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for over 25 years, working with diverse populations. For the past two decades, I’ve focused on veterans and their families, gaining a deep understanding of their unique needs and those of their loved ones. Additionally, I’ve worked with individuals facing chronic health issues, relationship challenges, and trauma, anxiety or depression. Throughout my extensive career, I’ve had the privilege of training in various therapeutic modalities, including Hypnosis, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Somatic therapies, attachment theory, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), Expressive Arts, Hypnosis. I firmly believe that the most effective approach lies in blending these modalities to tailor a treatment plan that best suits your individual needs.

Hello, my name is Shannon Dunnan. I specialize at working with individuals struggling with substance use, addiction, anxiety, depression, trauma, life-transitions, relationships, attachment, and emotion regulation challenges. Reaching out for support can feel both brave and uncertain, but beginning therapy is an important step toward overcoming challenges and learning new ways to manage life’s obstacles. My goal is to create a safe, supportive, and accountable space where you can grow, heal, and work toward meaningful change. I look forward to partnering with you to better understand the challenges you are facing and to help you move toward the goals you hope to achieve.

With over a decade of experience, I help clients find relief, clarity, and emotional balance. Using CBT, mindfulness, and somatic approaches, I support healing from anxiety, depression, trauma, and chronic stress.

Are you tired? Wishing you could do more but are not sure how? My focus is with teens and adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, life changes, and nonstructural chronic pain. Your mental health can be debilitating. It can keep you from reaching your goals, enjoying the things you love, and from the things that you need. If you are reading this, you are not ready to give up. Call, email, or schedule your first session and take the road towards recovery. My background in public schools and private practice has allowed me to support clients across many stages of life and experiences. I use a variety of evidence-based approaches and tailor therapy to your individual needs. My goal is to create a supportive, collaborative space where you feel heard and empowered to make changes at your own pace. All sessions are conducted remotely, allowing you to participate from the comfort and privacy of your own space. In our first session, we’ll talk about what brought you to therapy and what you hope to gain from the process, then work together to create a plan that feels realistic and encouraging. If you’re ready to begin I’d be glad to connect with you.

I am a licensed professional counselor in Colorado with over 10 years of experience working as a mental health therapist. I received a bachelor’s in psychology in 2006 and a master’s in clinical Mental Health from the University of Colorado in Colorado Springs in 2010. I have worked with the English and Spanish speaking civilian and military population in a variety of areas, some of which are: couples counseling, family counseling, parenting, blended families, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), domestic violence, grief, communication skills, personality disorders (such as bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder), ADHD, depression, anxiety, emotional and sexual abuse, life changes, divorce, immigration, addictions, and military individual LGBTQ+ and family issues.

In and out of the therapy room, I show up as an authentic, warm, and grounded human being. Clients often describe my presence as a balance of steady calm and active engagement. I listen with deep curiosity and without a shred of judgment, creating a sanctuary where you can drop your guard. I balance gentle validation with honest feedback. I will kindly challenge you when necessary to help you grow. I do not believe therapy has to be cold or clinical. We will laugh, celebrate your wins, and navigate heavy emotions together. I view you as the ultimate expert on your own life. We operate as equal partners in your healing journey. My clinical framework is flexible and integrative. I reject one-size-fits-all treatments, drawing instead from multiple evidence-based modalities to treat the whole person. My approach to therapy is shaped by a deep respect for the human experience and the resilience it requires to navigate modern life.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado and the owner of Thrive Counseling & Wellness, a virtual private practice dedicated to helping individuals find healing, resilience, and renewed hope. For more than a decade, I have had the privilege of walking alongside people as they navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, chronic illness, chronic pain, and life's unexpected challenges. My passion for this work comes from a deep belief that every person deserves to feel heard, understood, and supported without judgment. I know that many people carry invisible struggles while appearing to have everything together on the outside. Creating a space where clients feel safe enough to be authentic, vulnerable, and fully themselves is at the heart of my practice. I take a collaborative and compassionate approach to therapy, meeting each client where they are while helping them identify practical tools for lasting change. My work draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Person-Centered Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, and EMDR, allowing me to tailor treatment to each individual's unique experiences and goals. I have a special passion for supporting individuals living with chronic illness, chronic pain, high-functioning anxiety, depression, and the emotional impact of medical trauma. I believe therapy is about more than reducing symptom; it is about helping people reconnect with themselves, build confidence, strengthen relationships, and create lives that feel meaningful and fulfilling. It is truly an honor to earn my clients' trust and to witness the courage, growth, and resilience they discover along the way.

I understand that seeking therapy can feel like a big step, and I want to meet you where you are.

Together, we can work toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.

My passion for this work spans over 6 years in the mental health and substance abuse field, and it is deeply rooted in my own personal journey with addiction and mental health recovery.

Do you find yourself constantly thinking, analyzing, or trying to make sense of everything? Maybe you replay conversations, anticipate every possible outcome, or search for the "right" answer before making a decision. You may understand yourself well on an intellectual level, yet still feel anxious, overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected.

Taking the first step toward counseling can feel challenging, but it can also be the beginning of meaningful change, personal growth, and a healthier, more fulfilling life.

****Important: If you are in crisis, do not book a session, please call 911/988 or go to your nearest emergency room.

My role as a therapist is to provide a supportive, collaborative space where you can better understand yourself, navigate life's challenges, and move toward the life you want to create.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Colorado, I strive to create a therapeutic space where you feel safe, seen, and accepted as your authentic self. My approach is grounded in honesty, compassion, authenticity, and humor, because I believe meaningful growth can happen when we feel comfortable enough to show up as we are. I take a trauma-informed, strengths-based approach that honors your resilience, recognizes your existing strengths, and respects your unique experiences. I also recognize that our lives are shaped not only by personal experiences but by the systems, social structures, and sociopolitical factors around us. I aim to understand the whole picture rather than view challenges in isolation. Above all, I believe you are the expert in your own experience. My role is not to tell you who to be or what your journey should look like, but to walk alongside you as we explore what matters most to you, navigate challenges, and work toward meaningful change.

Now Accepting New Clients. Navigating through the journey of life we inevitably run into hindrances that challenge our momentum. Change is hard and can often be sudden and unpredictable, leaving us without the proper tools to cope with these changes. We have to learn to acclimate to our surroundings on our terms. Whether it's a traumatic response, addiction, grief and loss, anxiety, loss of confidence, feeling lost and overwhelmed, feelings of depression or stagnation, there's hope. It takes courage to look into a mirror and see who's looking back, it takes strength to want to make a change and hope to inspire change. My goal is to inspire Hope. To inspire people to look inward and see what is there, what already exists. I want to see people believe in themselves. My goal is to assist people in regaining a strong and confident sense of self.

Are you highly sensitive, easily overwhelmed or struggle to manage your emotions? Do you feel anxious but can’t quite pinpoint the reason why? Or just struggling to manage the overwhelm of living in these current times? Or perhaps you’re the parent of a child who struggles in these ways? I help clients overcome the unconscious emotional patterns that are keeping them stuck – in their relationships, their parenting, and in daily life. If you’ve experienced trauma, a difficult childhood, or feel overwhelmed by the demands of adulthood and parenting, there is good news: you can rewire your brain!

I am a clinician who is dedicated to providing compassionate and effective care to diverse populations. I challenge clients to consider new perspectives that encourage introspection and promote personal growth. It is important that I meet my clients with an outlook of empathy, curiosity, and cultural competence, while cultivating an atmosphere of advocacy, collaboration, and empowerment. I am also a huge proponent of incorporating mindfulness, movement and nature into therapy to enhance the connection between the mind and body and our environment. My intention is to motivate you to achieve your goals and support you in discovering and loving your authentic self.

I am an LPC in Colorado who believes in the healing power of story-telling and humor. I blend my humanity with evidenced-based practice to support clients in meeting their goals and living a more fulfilling life. I believe that people are the keepers of the answers to their own problems, and that professional tools and a safe space can help them access those answers. Often I lean on systems theory, EMDR, IFS, and trauma-informed practices to support clients in their healing. My therapeutic style is warm but direct, insight-oriented, and flexible. Outside of the office I am a dog lover that spends most of my free time in the woods with my two rescues. You might see me on a raft on our wild and scenic rivers, or playing guitar with friends on a porch. My friends would call me a "dilly-dallier."

There is often a story behind the person who walks through the door of therapy. For first responders, that story can include experiences that are difficult to put into words—moments of intense responsibility, loss, fear, or trauma that stay with you long after the shift ends. When you spend your career being the person others rely on, there may not always be much room to process what you have experienced yourself. Over time, that can show up as stress, frustration, emotional disconnection, difficulty being present with the people you love, or simply feeling unlike yourself. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I am passionate about working with first responders who are ready to understand what they have been carrying and begin creating meaningful change. I believe that what happened to you is part of your story, but it does not have to define the rest of it. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and focused on helping you move forward in a way that feels meaningful to you. I use Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients process difficult experiences, recognize the strengths they already possess, and develop practical tools for navigating what comes next. Therapy is not about erasing your experiences or pretending they did not happen. It is about creating space to work through what has been holding you back, reconnect with what matters most, and make room for the life you want to live. You have spent a lot of time showing up for others. Therapy can be a place where you get to show up for yourself.

I'm a licensed addiction and mental health counselor that specializes in trauma- based addiction care. I offer depth- oriented therapy best suited for clients tired of repeating the same old patterns/ addictions, having some success only to fall back and are ready to do deeper inner healing work to make their changes last. While I strive to meet clients where they are at, I offer more somatic based parts work, helping clients to see how greater acceptance of our experience of emotions is actually more healing than trying to fix ourselves, getting rid of or avoiding uncomfortable emotions. Cultivating acceptance of our emotions, particularly uncomfortable ones, is what allows our minds to become more still instead of wreaking havoc in our lives.

About Me I bring a rich background spanning education, counseling, and life’s real transitions to my practice. As a parent of three—with two in college—who has walked through a personal separation, I know firsthand what it takes to navigate major life shifts. My space is calm and grounded, but my style is straightforward and lovingly transparent. I’m here to offer real human perspective, warm encouragement, and practical guidance. My Approach I combine Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) into a clear, actionable methodology. Rather than just talking in circles, we look at the connection between your thoughts, habits, and emotional well-being. We’ll examine what’s keeping you stuck, leverage your natural strengths, and implement concrete tools that foster genuine, lasting growth. My Ideal Client My work is designed for the person who is ready to hold up a mirror, take an honest look at where they are, and commit to doing the real work. If you are ready to move past surface-level fixes, break through burnout, and step fully into your power, we will build a path forward together.

Hi, I’m Josh Burke, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing therapy across, Colorado, New York and Vermont. I’ve spent over 12 years working with individuals navigating a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, and major life transitions. I understand that reaching out for therapy can feel vulnerable. Because of that, I place a strong emphasis on building a genuine, trusting relationship from the start—one where you feel supported, understood, and able to be honest about what you’re going through. My approach is both relational and goal-oriented. I primarily use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), which means we won’t just talk about what’s wrong—we’ll also focus on what matters to you and how to move toward it in practical, meaningful ways. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or navigating a significant transition, our work will center on helping you better understand your experience, develop new ways of responding to stress, and take steps toward the life you want to live. I tailor therapy to each person, recognizing that no two paths forward look the same. I believe change is possible—even when things feel difficult—and I aim to walk alongside you in a way that feels collaborative, grounded, and forward-moving.

I’m Octavia Gallon, a licensed therapist who works with adults navigating anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and relationship challenges. I provide a supportive and non-judgmental space where clients can explore their experiences, develop healthier coping strategies, and gain a deeper understanding of themselves. My goal is to help you build confidence, improve emotional balance, and create meaningful changes that lead to a more fulfilling life.

I am a therapist that enjoys using client centered strategies to help clients better understand themselves and how they exist in the world around them. When I look at my journey through life, I have found that some of the greatest changes I have made were through conversations with others who helped me to see the world from a lens of choice. I have learned over the years that choice relates to actions, that in turn influence dynamics of empowerment and advocacy. Empowerment, advocacy, and perseverance are terms easy to grasp by definition, but much more difficult to follow through with in our day to day experiences. I believe that healing and growth really begin to set in when decisions are made to accept the current reality of ones life and then further commit to strategically apply necessary changes. Over time, I have noticed that therapy often can help people (myself included) gain a greater sense of self efficacy and self confidence, especially when we learn how powerful our thoughts and actions can be! In other words, it is ok if there are things happening in our day that we would rather not go through, however we also have a choice in how we respond in that day. I value the importance of a healthy and healing therapeutic relationship! I also value the process of exploring how trust and hope participate towards how we experience the world.

My name is Viviana Vethencourt, I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor with more than 25 years of experience supporting clients in their journey of transformation from emotional pain, feeling overwhelmed, anxious, sad, irritable, to the life they want where they can navigate life transitions, create healthier relationships, work on their goals, or find peace and calm in their lives.

Hi, I’m Christine, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience helping people navigate life’s challenges. I believe therapy should be a space where you can show up as yourself, feel heard and supported, and also be challenged when needed. My style is laid-back, warm, and collaborative—I’ll ask thoughtful questions, help you explore patterns in your thoughts and relationships, and support you in making changes that feel meaningful to you. At The Mental Wellness Studio, my goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable doing the work while knowing you don’t have to figure everything out on your own.

I work with individuals from diverse backgrounds who are navigating emotional challenges, life transitions, stress, or changes that have affected their overall well-being. This may include anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship concerns, self-identity, career transitions, chronic or medical conditions, and other significant life experiences. As a retired Naval veteran, I bring personal insight into military culture, service-related experiences, and the unique challenges that may accompany transitions to civilian life. My experience spans both medical and mental health settings, including supporting military-affiliated individuals and people living with chronic illness. I strive to provide a safe and supportive space where clients can better understand themselves, strengthen coping skills, build resilience, and move toward meaningful change at a pace that feels right for them.
