ADHD therapists and psychiatrists in Salida, CO

I enjoy helping clients learn skills to help them self-empower and get 'unstuck' from current barriers, and find their way to a more fulfilling and rewarding life.

I believe healing happens in a space where you feel seen, supported, and understood. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Addiction Counselor (LAC) with Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with over 12 years of experience working with children, youth, and families.

I am a therapist and school-based social worker who works with children, adolescents, and families. I specialize in supporting anxiety, emotional regulation, behavioral challenges, executive functioning, as well as school-related stress. With experience in both school and clinical settings, I understand how these challenges show up in everyday life. I also work closely with parents to build practical tools that support growth at home.

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.

With over 17 years in the mental health field, I have worked with youth and adults across inpatient, outpatient, and partial hospitalization (PHP) settings. For the past 10 years, I have specialized in trauma, supporting clients navigating mood and trauma-related challenges, including combat, developmental, and complex trauma.

I am trained in EMDR, CBT, and CPT, and I approach therapy with openness, curiosity, and respect for each client’s unique story. I believe therapy should feel collaborative, affirming, and grounded in genuine connection.

I hold a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from the University of Denver and am passionate about helping clients heal, grow, and reconnect with themselves.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have worked with youth and adults with anxiety, ADHD and overwhelm.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, life transitions, or past experiences? Do you want help making sense of your story and reconnecting with yourself? I work with children, teens, and adults navigating growth and healing. With 17+ years in education and 10 as a school counselor, I offer a warm, down-to-earth space to feel heard. I believe each of us has an inner child worthy of care, and I can help you gently reconnect. Whether you’re feeling stuck or seeking clarity, I’m here to walk alongside you. My specialties include trauma, life transitions, and managing anxiety. I’m currently accepting new clients.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor for 20+ years I have gained a lot of experience to draw upon. I understand that seeking help can be one of the hardest things to do, so good job on acknowledging that talking to someone could be helpful.

Allahna Kaj has a fresh, integrative approach to individualized psychotherapy. She grounds her work in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which provides a framework for helping her clients understand and regulate their thoughts, emotions, behavior and reactions. Allahna also works with her client’s values and uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients accept difficult emotions and begin things that are out of our personal control and commit to steps that are in line with their values. She has seven years of experience as a Group Facilitator and Individual Therapist in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), an evidence-based skills and mindfulness-based approach for creating emotional regulation and insight.

I bring nearly three decades of professional experience to my work as a therapist, including roles as a preschool teacher, child and family therapist, special education provider, grief counselor, clinical supervisor, and nonprofit leader. Across all of these settings, my work has centered on supporting children, teens, families, educators, clinicians, and leaders through moments of growth, challenge, and transition.
