LGBT therapists in Englewood, CO

I was raised in San Diego, CA, and received my PhD in Counseling Psychology from the University of Northern Colorado. I completed both my doctoral internship and postdoctoral fellowship at CU Boulder's Counseling and Psychiatric Services (CAPS). I prioritize a generalist approach that prepares me to work effectively with a very wide range of concerns in therapy, and I have specializations in providing compassionate crisis services as well as behavioral health support in medical settings.

I am a transpersonal psychotherapist, life coach, healer, and artist with extensive experience in trauma/PTSD and dual-diagnosis work (substance and disordered eating issues). My approach recognizes that challenges often stem from trauma, and lasting recovery requires working with all facets of your being. I offer unique, holistic paths to healing, including both online sessions and in-person work at my retreat center for those who want to connect with nature. I provide compassionate guidance and effective tools to help you unlock deeper self-discovery and lasting growth.

Hey! I am Cara, my approach is dependent on what the folks I am working with need. I bring a culturally informed lens to our work, understanding that everyone's journey is distinct. I think that one of my greatest strengths is creating a connection with clients and a space they feel comfortable being themselves.

If this sounds good to you, schedule a consultation. I look forward to meeting you!!

Bienvenido/a/e's!

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado and have been practicing since 2023. I have a Master in Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Regis University. As a Latina counselor I bring clinical and cultural understanding into the therapy space. Whether you identify as first-generation, BIPOC, or simply find yourself trying to balance traditional values with modern expectations you will be met with a space where you can feel seen and understood, through warmth and curiosity.

I believe that you deserve to be your happiest, healthiest, and most empowered self.

I have been working in the field of mental health since 2004 and obtained my Masters Degree in 2013. My specialties are working with the LGBTQ+ community (I am nonbinary and queer, so if you agree with anything anti-LGBTQ I am not going to be a good fit for you) and have worked with a wide range of diagnostics. My approach is generally to treat someones symptoms to work toward achieving goals rather than leaning heavily on a diagnostic.
