Alyce Duckworth

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Colorado, with a background in private practice, community mental health, and specialized consultation work. I've worked with individuals of all ages navigating trauma, anxiety, relationship challenges, identity exploration, and major life transitions. I also have experience supporting trauma survivors, LGBTQ+ clients, and neurodiverse individuals.

Outside of therapy, I'm a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu practitioner of over a decade and a self-defense instructor. I've had the privilege of teaching people from many different backgrounds, including trauma survivors and LGBTQ+ individuals, and this work continually deepens my respect for the strength people carry - often without realizing it.

In addition to my clinical work, I bring creativity into my life through art and storytelling, and I value humor as a powerful and often underrated part of healing. You don't have to check your personality at the door to do meaningful therapy - we can do deep work AND have real, human moments along the way.

Starting therapy can feel like a big step - I aim to make it feel more like a real conversation than a clinical checklist. I offer a space where you can be fully yourself while we work through what's been weighing on you.

When someone decides to engage with me in the therapeutic process, I am truly honored. Each client I work with offers a one-of-a-kind opportunity to understand a unique human story, and I don't take that lightly. Therapy, to me, is a collaborative space where your experiences, strengths, and voice are centered.

Our first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and see if we're a good fit - no pressure, no performance required.

We'll talk about what brought you to therapy, what you're hoping for, and any questions or concerns you have. You can expect a conversational, relaxed environment where you don't need to have anything figured out ahead of time.

I'll also gather some background information to better understand your history and current needs, but we'll go at a pace that feels manageable to you. Most importantly, you can expect to be met with curiosity, respect, and a genuine interest in who you are - not just what you're struggling with.
