Family therapy and counseling in Colorado Springs, CO

Hello, I'm Theda. With over 25 years of experience in the mental health and addiction fields, I have had the privilege of working with individuals, groups, and families in various clinical settings, including inpatient, outpatient, in-home, and group homes. My journey in mental health began with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a Master of Education in Agency Counseling from Southwestern Oklahoma State University, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor.

Example: "I have always wanted a job where I was of service to others, but I didn't know how to channel that into a career until I took an introduction to psychology course in college. We learned a lot about mental illness, what causes it and different ways to treat it, which inspired me to pursue my degree. I loved the idea of helping others overcome mental illness and helping them achieve their life goals."

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with 25 years of clinical experience. I hold a Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) in Clinical Health Psychology and a Master of Science in Clinical Psychopharmacology.

I am licensed in multiple states and have worked with military members within the VA, Army, and Air Force. My clinical focus includes clinical health psychology, trauma-informed care, integrated primary care behavioral health, and psychological assessment across the lifespan.

I am trained in evidence-based treatments such as EMDR, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Prolonged Exposure, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I am deeply committed to whole-person wellness and helping people find their empowered selves.

Outside of my professional life, I enjoy backcountry skiing, bow hunting, hot yoga, and connecting with spiritual aspects of the natural world.

I am a neurodiversity-affirming, trauma-informed therapist who specializes in working with children, teens, and families. I have extensive experience supporting clients with autism, adhd, anxiety, big emotions, and challenging behaviors. I also enjoy providing parent support and coaching.

As a parent of 2 neurodivergent children, I bring both professional expertise and lived empathy to my work. I offer telehealth (primary) in-home, and community-based sessions so I can meet clients where they feel most comfortable.

I am a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to delivering comprehensive, patient-centered care. I have advanced training in mental health assessment, medication management, and therapeutic support for individuals of all ages. I work with clients dealing with anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma-related issues, and ADHD. My goal is to create a safe and supportive environment where clients feel heard and respected.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) specializing in mental health and trauma, I provide compassionate, client-centered care. I believe healing is a holistic process that addresses both mind and body. Working collaboratively with clients, I create a safe space to explore experiences and heal from past wounds.
