Catherine Smiley

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the states of Colorado and Arizona. I graduated from Salve Regina University with a Master’s Degree in Clinical Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counseling and attended University of Rhode Island where I completed my undergraduate studies, double majoring in Psychology and Human Development & Family Studies. I have experience working with a wide range of individuals who struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, feeling stuck, and general life transitions. I am a queer-identifying therapist, also having a special interest and experience in working with the LGBTQIA+ population.

I love walking alongside clients, working to collaboratively develop new coping strategies and ways of seeing themselves, the world, and their place within it. I use client-centered therapy and holistic methods in my practice and believe it is necessary to integrate mental, physical, spiritual, and emotional forms of well-being to help clients develop a deeper understanding of themselves on all of these levels.

I strive to create an environment of safety, acceptance, validation, humor, and empathic understanding. I'm here to honor your lived experience exactly as it is. If you’re ready to foster a deeper connection with yourself and others, I’m ready to support you!
