I have been a counselor in varied settings. It is my calling. I want to make you feel comfortable and safe when you talk with me. I also want feedback from you if you have any concerns. I do have a master's degree in human development and family relations. I prefer to work with adults and older adolescents. I am certified in DBT and I am working on certification in Trauma treatment and the psychological treatment of ADHD. While I am straight, I am allied with the LBGTQI clients. I like working on relationship area, trauma, trauma and substance abuse, mood disorders, victims of narcisstic abuse, victims of domestic violence. My approach to therapy is eclectic, but I do try to empower clients and help them change old, negative thought patterns that are keeping them from moving forward and accomplishing their goals.

I believe that people can heal when they feel heard & understood.

I help people in all life stages navigate transitions, repair and reconnect in their relationships, overcome anxiety and loss, and cultivate courage to change.

My name is Janine Gonzalez, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Colorado, Nevada and New Mexico: with over 17 years' of experience working with a diverse population. This includes working with individuals experiencing complex issues. I started my career within acute medical settings, ER, ICU and Trauma unit, before becoming Licensed. Therefore, I also bring 28 years of experience working with people medically complex which have impacted their mental health and vis versa.

Welcome. I am Renee Benavidez, LPCC, and I earned my master’s degree from New Mexico Highlands University in 2012, dedicating my entire 14-year career to supporting both teenagers and adults. While I spent my first 11 years guiding court-committed individuals, I have spent the last three years focusing on the broader community to help clients heal from trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use, and adjustment disorders. My primary approach is Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a powerful tool that helps process and heal deep-rooted wounds. Nothing brings me more joy than witnessing the inspiring, positive transformations my clients make as they reclaim their lives and well-being.

Hi, I’m Angela , a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC). I believe that healing is a journey of both the mind and the spirit. I specialize in helping individuals and couples navigate the heavy weights of trauma, anxiety, and depression.

I provide a safe, non-judgmental space to explore your challenges. My goal is to help you process past hurts and find practical tools to move forward with hope and clarity.

When I’m not in the office, you’ll likely find me in the kitchen. I love to cook, and I find that the patience and care required to create a great meal often mirrors the intentional work we do together in therapy. I look forward to supporting you on your path to wellness.

I'm Russ! As your therapist, it is my goal to see you become a better version of yourself. Asking for help is not easy for many, and you're to be commended for taking that first step. Life's challenges can be difficult to navigate, and everyone needs some help from time to time. I have seen a multitude of clients of all ages with diverse backgrounds. Being a good listener and having a non-judgmental approach are two of the things people ask for most in a therapist. With me, you will get both of those things! I am always present when my clients are experiencing stressful life challenges. My areas of expertise include Depression, Anxiety, Men's Health, Trauma, PTSD, Grief Issues, and Couples Therapy, I am specifically very experienced and specialized with Anxiety Disorders. I use a Cognitive Behavioral and Humanistic approach to help my clients bring out the best in themselves, but am also able to help those who may need to be in therapy more short-term with Solution-Focused therapeutic approaches. I like to use humor, challenging questions, and a direct approach. I think that growth and progress come from addressing the difficult issues head-on, but we can also make therapy a little more fun along the way.
