LGBT therapists in Westminster, CO

Hi, I’m Kelly Cramer, a licensed professional counselor in Colorado and an LPCC in New Mexico. I have spent much of my career supporting kids, teens, and young adults—both in schools and through telehealth—so I’m comfortable with the real-life pressures that show up at home, at school, and in relationships. I also specialize in supporting adults through trauma, life transitions, and stress. I am a doctoral student in Counselor Education and Supervision at Oregon State University, with a research interest in the intersection of climate change and mental health. I care a lot about doing this work, engaging with thoughtfulness and integrity. I am noted as a therapist who is warm, practical, and genuinely on your team.

My specialties include trauma, relationships, supervision, and medical issues. I will help you be more conscious of your thoughts, emotions, and body and thus reach your potential.

My previous education in biology and neuropsychology has provided me with knowledge that is invaluable, especially during trauma work. Because I find both Eastern and Western psychological practices useful, I integrate many tools and therapies into the sessions and tailor treatment to each individual.

This wild, painful, beautiful human experience can be a lot to process on our own, and it can be empowering to sort it out with a compassionate mental health professional who can be a support throughout your emotional growth. I am committed to showing up with empathy and gentle curiosity in collaboration with my clients. I am licensed in and seeing clients in Colorado and Rhode Island.

I have a passion for working with visual artists, writers, poets, musicians, and designers. I am an artist who believes that creative expression can be a way to engage the healing process and help us make meaning in this tumultuous world. I love working with artists and creatives, but you do not need to identify as an artist or creative to collaborate in therapy with me. We all hold the potential for creative healing engagement with ourselves, in relationships, and in the world. I welcome the opportunity to work with clients of all backgrounds and identities.

I received my MA in Mental Health Counseling from Northwestern University, my MFA in Visual Art from Rutgers University, and my BFA in Visual Studies from Iowa State University. Before I became a counselor I spent fifteen years teaching studio art and cultural studies courses at colleges and universities across the United States. As an artist, writer, former academic, and mental health counselor, I have dedicated my life to creating connection and depth in relationships.

My name is Loren Johnson and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I graduated with my master's degree from The University of Alabama in 2017. My passion for helping others drew me to the field of counseling. My collaborative style allows me to work closely with my clients to reach their goals.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with 25 years of clinical experience. I hold a Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) in Clinical Health Psychology and a Master of Science in Clinical Psychopharmacology.

I am licensed in multiple states and have worked with military members within the VA, Army, and Air Force. My clinical focus includes clinical health psychology, trauma-informed care, integrated primary care behavioral health, and psychological assessment across the lifespan.

I am trained in evidence-based treatments such as EMDR, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Prolonged Exposure, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I am deeply committed to whole-person wellness and helping people find their empowered selves.

Outside of my professional life, I enjoy backcountry skiing, bow hunting, hot yoga, and connecting with spiritual aspects of the natural world.

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.

I provide psychiatric medication management services that are tailored specifically to you and your needs. My practice revolves around working towards creating solutions that work for your life. Whether you are trying medication for the first time, looking to change medications, or wanting to taper off completely, we will go at your pace and process issues together as they arise. I take a full-person approach and will recommend treatments beyond medication. Medication alone is rarely a full solution so those that are ready to put in the effort to get to the core of the issues will work best with me

It can be uncomfortable to decide to seek out help and to share your worries with someone. I strive to create an environment that is nonjudgemental, confidential, and solution focused. I will integrate therapy into our sessions to cultivate insight, appreciation, and understanding of your past and current circumstances.

Controlled substances are used minimally and conservatively in my practice as many of these are not long term solutions. I work with adults of all races, ethnicities, and LGBTQIA2S+.
