Addiction therapists & psychiatrists in Lafayette, CO

I believe meaningful change happens when people feel understood, supported, and empowered. My approach is collaborative and client-centered—I meet you where you are and tailor our work to your goals, values, and lived experience. Rather than a one-size-fits-all method, I focus on what will be most helpful and sustainable for you.

My style is warm, grounded, and practical. Clients often describe me as thoughtful, easy to talk to, and direct in a compassionate way. I create a space where you can be honest without judgment, ask questions, and explore challenges at your own pace. I balance insight and reflection with actionable strategies you can apply in real life.

One of my strengths is helping clients gain clarity when things feel overwhelming or stuck. I’m skilled at identifying patterns, simplifying complex issues, and turning insight into forward movement. Whether we’re working on growth, healing, decision-making, or skill-building, my goal is to help you feel more confident, capable, and aligned with yourself.

If you’re looking for a professional who is engaged, respectful, and genuinely invested in your progress, I’d be glad to work with you.

Taking the first step toward healing is a courageous act, and I’m here to support you on this journey. Whether you’re navigating challenges like depression, anxiety, substance use, relationship difficulties, or life stress, I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore your needs. Together, we’ll identify your goals and work toward building the clarity, confidence, and balance you deserve.

With an extensive background spanning the full continuum of care—from outpatient services to long-term inpatient mental health—I have dedicated my career to supporting individuals across a vast spectrum of life experiences. My professional journey has been shaped by the guidance of exceptional mentors and supervisors who have instilled in me a commitment to continuous growth as a provider.

I have had the privilege of serving a wide range of populations, including:

• Adolescent mothers and youth in the foster care system
• Individuals within youth corrections
• Military veterans and those navigating the complexities of post-service life
• Survivors of domestic violence in recovery
• The geriatric population and adults navigating significant life transitions

I believe that true healing and growth begin with authenticity. Long before it became a trending term, I sought to show up as my authentic self in every room—whether presenting to a leadership team in a government agency or sitting one-on-one with a client late into the evening.

My style is rooted in transparency. I recognize my own strengths and deficits, a practice that keeps me grounded and humble while giving me the confidence to face life’s most daunting challenges alongside my clients. I don’t believe in a "one-size-fits-all" approach; instead, I meet my clients exactly where they are, viewing them as the true experts of their own lives.

Hi there, I'm Crystal!

I am a licensed clinical social worker and licensed addiction counselor. I use targeted evidence-based approaches to best suit my client's needs.

Before private practice, I worked with clients experiencing depression and anxiety, psychosis, severe personality disorders, addiction, and homelessness, so I am comfortable treating a wide range of issues.

Most people who finally reach out have been putting it off for a while, waiting to feel ready or wondering whether what they're going through is serious enough to count. I'm Victoria, a Licensed Professional Counselor with more than 10 years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and seniors navigating anxiety, depression, relationship stress, and the life transitions that knock you off your footing. I also hold specialized certifications in substance use, so if that's part of what you're carrying, you're in good hands. Clients often describe me as approachable, honest, and steady.

I specialize in Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, a practical and modern approach that helps you

move forward instead of getting stuck in the past. If you’ve tried therapy before and felt it missed

the mark, or if you’re hesitant to begin, my style is supportive, goal-oriented, and centered

around real progress. Together, we’ll focus on what’s already working, build on your strengths,

and create meaningful steps toward lasting change.

Finding a counselor who you can trust and relate to is not always easy. People who have worked with me describe me as warm, authentic, and passionate about what I do.

Many of us feel overwhelmed by the world that we live in. It helps to have someone to listen about the concerns we have or the things that make us feel despair. Therapy can be a great way to get some of these feelings out of our heads and into the world where they often appear more manageable and less overwhelming. I believe therapy should be collaborative and that I, as the therapist, should sit with you in whatever state you are in and that we should both work together to address your needs.

I am accepting new clients.

We all need someone to listen to, understand, and support us, especially during times of uncertainty and transition. My goal is to create a safe, therapeutic space in which you feel comfortable to be yourself and share your fears, hopes, and struggles. As each client is a unique individual, I feel the process of counseling should be tailored to meet your specific needs. I believe you are the expert in your own life, and have the innate ability to heal.
