Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Salida, CO

Clients should know that I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where they can show up as their authentic selves. I value building a genuine connection and work collaboratively with clients to help them better understand themselves, develop coping skills, and move toward meaningful change at their own pace.

Choosing a therapist can feel like a daunting and vulnerable step, and I want to honor the courage it takes to begin. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I work with adults ages 25 to 85, bringing a long, richly lived life experience that allows me to meet you with steadiness, perspective, and compassion. My approach is grounded in unconditional positive regard—I believe you are worthy of respect and understanding exactly as you are. I can’t fix anyone, but I am very good at helping people heal themselves from the wounds life brings and to navigate the changes that shape us all.

Hello, my name is Becky. I have my master's in clinical social work and am currently obtaining my hours for licensure as an addiction specialist. My job is to listen, guide, and support you as you navigate through healing and growth. If you're ready, I’m here to serve and celebrate with you through your journey.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with almost 20 years of experience working with children and families. I believe in the importance of prioritizing self care and our mental health needs are so important for that! My goal is to partner with you and navigate through the journey towards reaching your goals.

We all deserve to have someone in our corner as we navigate life's ups and downs. I am passionate about supporting individuals through challenges and transitions, and celebrating progress. My background includes extensive work with adults facing a variety of systemic and personal obstacles, including those who have historically had less access to resources. I am committed to creating a welcoming, affirming space for all clients that acknowledges each individual's journey, with an intersectional and holistic approach. My priority is to ensure that you are seen, understood, and supported as you work toward your personal goals.

I specialize in two things most therapists don't: sleep and health. Specifically, I help individuals who can't sleep, who are managing a chronic illness or medical diagnosis, or who've been trying to make lasting health behavior changes and keep hitting a wall.

I hold dual board certifications in Clinical Health Psychology (ABPP) and Behavioral Sleep Medicine (DBSM), the latter being one of the most specialized credentials a psychologist can earn, and one that very few providers in Colorado have. Before going into private practice, I spent over a decade as an active duty psychologist in the U.S. Air Force, working with service members, veterans, and their families through some genuinely hard things. That experience shaped how I approach care: I believe in being collaborative, practical, and honest about what the research actually supports, and I don't believe in wasting your time.

I see adults and seniors via telehealth across Colorado. My top focus areas are insomnia and sleep disruption (using gold-standard, evidence-based treatments like CBT-I), adjustment to chronic medical conditions (like chronic pain, diabetes, and cancer), and stress management. I also have specialized training in trauma and occupational stress with military personnel, first responders, healthcare workers, and high-performance professionals.

Like many, I live in and love the state of Colorado. Any chance I get I'm out exploring the outdoors. It provides balance in my personal and professional life.

As a dual-certified Family and Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner I share my interests with clients I see.

When I was working full-time as a Family Nurse Practitioner I saw an unmet need in clients finding a balance in their physical and mental health. I decided to return to school to strengthen my knowledge in psychiatric mental health care.

For the past five years my focus has included seeing clients with substance dependence, MAT treatment, ADHD, Major Depressive Disorder, Bipolar Disorder and Schizophrenia. I especially enjoy the 1:1 experience via telehealth seeing clients in the comforts of their own home.

I specialize in working with men who are navigating anxiety, depression, grief, and a longing for deeper meaning in their lives. I am particularly passionate about supporting fathers of young children, men experiencing loss, and those seeking to redefine masculinity in a healthier, more authentic way.

I have a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the Contemplative Psychotherapy and Buddhist Psychology program at Naropa University, where I trained in mindfulness-based, relational therapy grounded in Eastern wisdom traditions.

I am also trained in Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) through the Transpersonal Research Institute of Psychotherapeutic Psychedelics and other psychedelic-assisted therapy programs. I consider this work deeply sacred and approaches it with great care, presence, and humility.

My ideal clients are seeking deeper connections but feeling held back by intimacy issues, relationship patterns, anxiety, depression, or trauma. You might feel disconnected from your partner, overwhelmed by intrusive thoughts, or stuck in cycles that no longer serves you. In our work together, you don't have to hide any part of who you are. I provide a grounded, entirely non-judgmental space centered on authentic human connection. Together, we explore what is keeping you stuck and build practical, compassionate paths toward relational understanding, emotional stability, and personal healing.

I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Colorado who works with individual and couples. I offer therapy to treat symptoms of anxiety, depression and trauma and specialize in support for new and emergent parents as they navigate pregnancy, birth and postpartum. My therapy style is relational and non-judgmental; reverent and light-hearted.

Before entering the mental health field, I had what was my dream job: guiding outdoor trips in the United States and abroad. Though this work was invigorating, what felt the most meaningful to me was walking alongside people as they embarked on a life-changing experience, whether backpacking through a storm or exploring a new country. I became a therapist because I saw an opportunity to provide life-changing experiences of a different kind. Prior to starting my therapy practice, I worked in an outpatient community mental health clinic with young people and their families. My most exciting adventure yet, becoming a mother to my daughter in 2025, led me to find my passion in supporting new parents.

I help people create meaningful, lasting change in their lives—on their terms. My work is rooted in real-life experience. I know what it’s like to explore different paths, question who you are, and search for something that truly fits. Before I could guide others, I had to do the work myself—gaining clarity, growth, and alignment with who I really am.

I am currently accepting new clients. Do you ever feel unseen, unheard, or like you carried responsibilities no child should have had to? If that resonates, you are not alone. I work with adults and couples who grew up with an emotionally immature parent and still feel the effects on their relationships, self worth, and sense of self. Together we will explore these dynamics and how they shape your life today, and I will help you build the insight, confidence, and self trust to move forward. I also support people through anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, life transitions, and the relationship struggles that come with all of it.
