Mary Chenoweth

Hi, I’m Mary. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor, and for more than twenty years I’ve had the privilege of supporting children, teens, and adults across Colorado through some of life’s most challenging and meaningful transitions. I completed my B.A. in Psychology at the University of Colorado in 1997, followed by my M.A. in Psychology at Regis University in 2000, graduating Magna Cum Laude with Graduate Honors. In 2018, I earned my M.S. in Criminology with an emphasis in Human Behavioral Sciences from Regis University, graduating Summa Cum Laude and as a member of the Alpha Sigma Nu Honors Society.

My work is grounded in compassion, practicality, and the belief that people grow in powerful ways when they feel genuinely seen and supported.

I specialize in anxiety, PTSD/trauma, ADHD, depression, and grief/loss. Many of the clients I work with are navigating major turning points—recovering from trauma, adjusting after a psychiatric hospitalization, or participating in court‐ordered treatment. These experiences can feel overwhelming, and my role is to help you stabilize, build confidence, and develop skills that make daily life feel more manageable and hopeful.

My therapeutic approach blends cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma focus, and internal family systems. I tailor each session to your developmental stage, your goals, and what feels most helpful for you. I also have extensive experience working with individuals facing severe and persistent mental illness, survivors of crime, trauma and violence, court ordered treatment and people navigating high‐conflict systems.

I welcome children, adolescents, and adults through midlife, and I’m experienced in supporting military members, veterans, first responders, and LGBTQ+ community. In addition to individual therapy, I offer couples and family counseling to strengthen communication, connection, and resilience.

I began my practice in 2003, and I remain committed to ethical, research‐informed care that helps people feel grounded, capable, and hopeful again. If you’re looking for a therapist who brings warmth, structure, and genuine partnership to the process, I’m here to help.

During the first session, clients can expect a calm, welcoming space where we get to know each other. I’ll ask about what brought them in, what they’ve been experiencing, and what they hope to gain from therapy. There’s no pressure to share everything at once — we move at their pace.

We’ll talk through their history, current concerns, and any patterns they’ve noticed. I also explain how therapy works, what my approach looks like, and what they can expect from me. By the end of the session, we’ll have a clearer sense of goals and next steps, and clients often leave feeling more grounded and understood.
