Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Longmont, CO covered by Cigna

My passion lies in instilling hope that recovery and wellness is possible – and worth it! I specialize in eating disorders, mood & anxiety disorders, grief, and the unexpected twists & turns of life. It would be a privilege to walk alongside you as you navigate this journey.

I have a Bachelor of Science in Occupational Therapy and a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I have worked in the healthcare field for over 30 years in a variety of settings including hospitals, home health, and mental health facilities. A highlight of my career was being able to provide healthcare and mental health services while volunteering in China, India, and serving in Peace Corps Mongolia.

In my free time, I enjoy spending time outside surrounded by trees and near a river or creek. I enjoy learning and make time to enhance my own personal growth. I also like to play games, ski, and listen to podcasts.

I’m a psychiatric nurse practitioner who works from the belief that people are not broken—and that many of the struggles we call “mental illness” make sense when we look at trauma, context, and lived experience. I’m especially attuned to the ways mental health systems, stigma, and labels can unintentionally cause harm, and I aim to practice in a way that feels respectful, collaborative, and deeply human.

My approach is unconventional and trauma-informed, influenced by perspectives like those of Gabor Maté, which emphasize compassion, curiosity, and understanding symptoms as meaningful responses rather than defects. I do not believe in rushing to pathologize the human experience. As Joni Mitchell once reflected about depression, sometimes what we’re feeling is not an illness to be fixed, but a signal—an honest response to pain, loss, or a world that has not been kind.

I offer virtual or in-person therapy sessions in Castle Rock, Colorado. I know what it's like to struggle with depression, addiction, and narcissistic abuse. I became a therapist and an energy healer after going through my own "dark night of the soul." Many clients tell me that they relate to me because I have been though similar experiences and know what it's like to push through depression, and overcome addiction and trauma. My goal isn't to help you merely mask symptoms, but to help you navigate through them while healing the underlying roots, staying grounded, and discovering your most authentic self and a life of fulfillment and thriving.

Clinical experience: 30+ years working with adults, couples, families, adolescents, and children specializing in trauma and co-occurring disorders with an integrative and holistic approach. Graduated from Saybrook University: Doctorate in Transpersonal Psychology (2010); Naropa University: Masters in Transpersonal Counseling Psychology & Art Therapy.

If you're feeling stretched thin—anxious, exhausted, or stuck in patterns you can't quite name—you don't have to keep pushing through it alone. I'm Risa, an LCSW with over 10 years of experience helping adults move from overwhelmed to grounded.

I work with people navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma and PTSD, grief, anger, relationship strain, identity questions, and difficult life transitions. Many of my clients look high-functioning on the outside while struggling underneath—racing thoughts, disrupted sleep, burnout, or a quiet sense that something needs to change.

Over my career I've supported clients in community mental health, geriatric care, veterans' health, and corrections—settings that taught me to meet people across very different circumstances without judgment. I earned my Master's in 2012 and have practiced ever since, with particular experience supporting women and the LGBTQIA+ and transgender community around identity, relationships, and self-worth.

Whatever brought you here, my aim is for you to feel understood from our very first conversation.

My name is Celeste and I'm an LPC in CO. I work I have always wanted to be a person that could have a positive impact on someone’s life. A person they could talk to with no judgment but instead empathize with them in a safe environment. Sometimes all that is needed is someone to actually hear what they are saying. I enjoy working with people to help them learn how to understand feelings and where they come from. To help them to communicate effectively, express themselves fully, and achieve their individual goals.

I am currently on maternity leave until mid-July. If you think we would be a good fit I can either add you to my waitlist or set you up with one of the clinicians that works for me (who are very similar to me). You can check out more information on my website www.wildlyauthenticcounseling.com

Do you feel like you have lost your spark and vibrancy? Do you struggle with the expectations of who you should be, never feeling like you are enough? Do you numb your feelings and ignore your hearts desires for comfort, stability, acceptance, and normalcy? That used to be me too! With my own ADHD and Trauma, life has not always been easy. I want to help you overcome the things that are weighing you down and help you actualize your most authentic life.

I am currently accepting new clients. Hi there, I’m Alisha. If you’re looking for a therapist who is down to earth, easy to talk to, and genuinely in your corner, I’d love to work with you. After 11 years in the mental health field, I’m excited to be back in private practice and to support you wherever you are in life. I work with both teens and adults, and our time together will always be shaped around you and what you need.
