I work with older teens and adults who experience trauma symptoms, anxiety, depression, self-esteem and identity issues, LGBTQIA2S+ concerns, or other life transitions. I believe a strong therapeutic relationship prompts fuller connections in other areas of life - to oneself, to others, and to the environment. We will work to discover your personal values, explore and process patterned behaviors and relationships, and uncover and utilize your own strengths to take steps towards achieving personal goals. My approach is trauma-focused and person-centered, including a background in psychodynamic therapy, somatic attachment theory, parts work, TF-CBT, and holistic wellness.

As an art therapist, I use creativity as a way to help people better understand themselves, manage stress, and work through difficult emotions. Art therapy can be especially helpful for people who may have a hard time putting their feelings or experiences into words. Through creating, connecting, and working together, art therapy can help individuals navigate challenges, explore their identity, and build confidence. I have experience working with individuals who experience anxiety, depression, autism, ADHD, and other mental health concerns. Whether you are dealing with a specific challenge, processing a difficult experience, or simply looking for ways to improve your emotional well-being, art therapy can be a supportive space to explore and grow. Feel free to reach out if you have questions or would like to connect!

Welcome To Our Group Practice A message from the Founder and Clinical Director: I want you to know how excited I am to meet you. I light up when I think about ways I can support you and be a part of ushering human beings into a new world. I feel hopeful when I see the work of Brene Brown, HeatherAsh Amara, Tara Brach and many others like them who are doing work on a large scale to help us move out of the old paradigm of living from the head- comparison, acquisition, power at all costs, being the smartest person in the room, and fierce independence. We are evolving into heart-centered living- which is practicing empathy, compassion, acceptance, cooperation, openness, interdependence and curiosity. This is how I want to live, do you? I believe it is possible and heart-centered living starts with healing past wounds and freeing up our energy to take responsibility for our lives. I was a kid who had a lot of energy. I loved doing cartwheels in the grass, voraciously reading every single one of the books in the Babysitters Club series and climbing the weeping willow trees that grew near my house. I've always loved exploring, learning, and moving my body. Now, I use that energy to climb rock walls, hike mountains, and enthusiastically lead therapists in our thriving private practice while facilitating a kick-ass women's empowerment program. I get energized when I feel into how much healing we get to do together. I have discovered my gifts of curiosity, intuition, and a natural tendency to care about and hold compassionate space for others. I channel this into my work with individual clients, workshops that I facilitate, and the mentorship and training that I offer to the therapists who work with me at Insight. I want you to feel excitement about your life and journey towards bringing your gifts forth. We can help you discover who you are under the layers of self-protection, survival mode, and numbing the overwhelm. The first steps toward this is saying yes to yourself, beginning your healing, and trusting the process. Our group practice offers so many avenues for growth. We have specialties in EMDR, Internal Family Systems, group work and workshops, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Feminist Therapy, Existential Therapy, and more. Explore our website to see what speaks to you and reach out to our Client Care Coordinator. She can determine who and what will be the best fit for your goals. If you feel a YES rising in you, if you want to live more from your HEART and SOUL- then give us a call and schedule your first appointment or join our next workshop. You are worth it. You matter. Take the leap! With Love, Respect, and Hope, Bethany

If you are looking for someone who will take the time to understand you, and support you in building stronger communication and relational patterns, you're in the right place. I specialize in working with LGBTQIA+ individuals and couples/families/relational systems, as well as individuals working through focus, follow-through, and executive functioning. Sessions are collaborative and exploratory, balancing structure and freedom to explore your emotions. If you want to feel better and show up differently in your day-to-day or in relationships, I will support you in building what you need to achieve your goals. My approach draws on attachment-focused and person-centered therapy, a strengths-based lens, and a queer-affirming perspective, utilizing trauma-informed tools that are adjusted to your needs. Reaching out can be difficult, and I don't take it lightly that you're here. If this sounds like a fit, email or call to schedule a free 15-minute consultation.

In the therapy room, I ground my practice in integrity, responsibility, justice, and respect. I believe in equality within the therapeutic relationship and strive to empower clients to maintain an active role in their healing. I also highly value creativity and openness, and enjoy personalizing therapeutic work to each individual’s unique needs. Additionally, wellness, growth, and lifelong learning are central values that guide both my personal and professional life. I believe in treating the whole person—mind, body, and behavior—and in co-creating treatment plans that reflect each client’s unique experiences, values, and goals. I work with teens, adults, and couples, and I am especially passionate about supporting individuals navigating trauma, anger, serious mental illness, depression, and chronic pain. At the heart of my work is the belief that we are all doing the best we can with what we have—and that growth, change, and healing are always possible. In the therapy room, I strive to create a calm, supportive, and collaborative space where clients feel seen and empowered. I value creativity, humor, and openness; and I love celebrating growth!

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 25 years experience, I fully appreciate the importance of finding the right match with a therapist who can offer a compassionate and professional approach to navigating life's challenges. I embrace what may be very painful difficulties as opportunities for positive growth and problem solving, while holding sacred the courage and curiosity it takes to embark upon a very personal therapeutic journey. Being a student inevitably includes personal transformation and growth, not to mention stress and the need for problem solving skills! Getting support, be it brief in nature, or for longer-term emotional regulation, can be invaluable during times of such transition. I offer particular expertise in such areas as: treatment for anxiety, depression, trauma recovery, healing from past abuse/victimization (particularly sexual abuse), and EMDR Therapy, in addition to addressing life transitions, the impacts of social injustice and oppression, and overall stress management and relationship restoration.

Are you or your child navigating mental health struggles, but are ready to better understand yourself and create meaningful change? As an LGBTQIA+-affirming therapist, I specialize in anxiety, depression, life transitions, grief, identity development, and trauma for adolescents and adults. You may feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, disconnected from your values, or overwhelmed by past experiences. Rather than looking for someone to "fix" you, you want a compassionate therapist who helps you make sense of your story, build practical skills, and move toward a life that feels more authentic and fulfilling. That’s where I come in. I have a particular passion for working with LGBTQIA+ individuals and others seeking a safe, affirming space where you can be fully yourself while developing resilience, self-compassion, and deeper, more connected relationships. In my view, healing happens through genuine connection, authenticity, and a relationship built on trust, compassion, and respect. My goal is to be a thoughtful, collaborative partner who walks alongside you, not to tell you who you should become but to help you discover the strengths, resilience, and wisdom that already exist within you. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply ready for something different, you don't have to navigate it alone. I would be honored to support you as you build the life, relationships, and sense of purpose you deserve, one meaningful step at a time. The therapeutic relationship is one of the most important parts of healing, and my style reflects that through thoughtful, engaging, and genuine care. I provide trauma-informed, LGBTQIA+-affirming therapy grounded in compassion, curiosity, and evidence-based care to help you reconnect with your strengths and live more intentionally. Drawing from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), existential therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), narrative therapy, and Mindfulness, I tailor treatment to your unique story and goals. Together, we'll identify unhelpful patterns, develop practical coping skills, process difficult experiences, and build a life that aligns with your values, working at a pace that feels both supportive and appropriately challenging. The goal is to create a safe, collaborative space where you feel heard, understood, challenged with care, and empowered to create lasting change. My path to becoming a therapist has been shaped by both my professional career and my personal life. Like many of my patients, I've experienced seasons of anxiety, depression, and profound life transition. Therapy was an essential part of helping me navigate those challenges while pursuing a high-achieving career, raising an incredible son with autism and ADHD, and later embracing my authentic self as a transgender woman in midlife. These experiences deepened my appreciation for the courage it takes to ask for help and the transformative power of a trusting therapeutic relationship. Today, I am committed to providing compassionate, trauma-informed, LGBTQIA+-affirming care where patients feel truly seen, understood, and accepted. I bring empathy, life experience, and clinical expertise to every session, believing that healing begins when people discover they don't have to face life's challenges alone. Outside the therapy room, I enjoy spending time with my son and exploring Colorado through backpacking, climbing, and skiing. A lifelong competitive tennis player and music lover, I also love spending time with my French Bulldog. These experiences keep me grounded, remind me to appreciate the present moment, and reinforce the importance of resilience, connection, and finding joy in life's everyday adventures.

I help self-aware overthinkers break free from old patterns and learn to trust themselves more deeply. My clients are often insightful, motivated, and may have been in therapy before, but still find themselves stuck in cycles of overwhelm, self-doubt, people-pleasing, and overthinking. Through our work, you'll learn to trust your own voice, show up authentically in your relationships, and finally feel at home — koselig — in your own skin. Many of my clients grew up in homes where their physical needs were met, but their emotional experiences were minimized, dismissed, or misunderstood. As a result, they learned that their feelings were "too much" and became disconnected from their own emotional world. As adults, they often struggle with anxiety, rumination, self-trust, and maintaining healthy, authentic relationships. They may appear capable and self-aware on the outside while feeling disconnected from themselves on the inside. I believe many of the patterns that once helped you survive are now keeping you from fully being yourself. Rather than judging or fighting those patterns, we'll approach them with curiosity and compassion, helping you reconnect with the parts of yourself that have been buried beneath fear, doubt, and old expectations. You don't need to keep abandoning yourself to belong. I'd love to journey alongside you as you come home to who you've been all along— and feel confident, connected, and koselig in your own skin.

As a compassionate therapist for individuals, couples, and families, I help diverse populations navigate anxiety, depression, attachment and relational issues, identity exploration, difficult emotions, problematic behaviors, neurodivergence, communication challenges, trauma, LGBTQIA+ issues, social isolation, self-esteem, grief and loss, substance use disorders, and eating disorders. Throughout my sessions, I take a panoramic view of the biological, psychological, social, environmental, and spiritual contexts in which each individual exists, helping to unpack internal and external barriers to wellbeing. When appropriate, I also love to explore the role of humor and creative self-expression in healing. I believe in prioritizing humility, shared power, and curiosity at all times, which allows me to be a supportive partner in discovering each person’s inner wisdom and lived contexts that guide the work. I look forward to partnering with you in this next stage of your growth journey. I specialize in systemic therapy and helping folks deepen their relationships with themselves, which often renders deeper and more authentic relationships with others. My approach is trauma-informed, holistic, and affirming, reflecting my passion for making mental health care more accessible and collaborating with each person to help them find greater joy, meaning, insight, and expansiveness, whether life feels full of tidal waves or, at times, far too still. In our work together, I strive to create a warm and empathetic space in which all patients feel truly safe, heard, and supported. Rather than aiming to “fix,” my goal is to help you access and build upon your inherent worth and the strengths you already have. This is achieved through a creative, integrative, and fluid therapeutic style based on your needs, though I lean toward an attachment-focused, psychodynamic lens. I draw heavily from narrative therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), somatic interventions, and mindfulness, but also use Dialectal Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solutions-Focused Therapy, and other modalities to help you come home to yourself, find clarity and connection, and develop healthier habits. My path to becoming a therapist is informed by my own mental health journey, in addition to my lifelong interests in human connection and development, psychology, and service. After seeking treatment in my early twenties, I then intensively studied yoga and developed a greater understanding for the connection between mind, body, and spirit. Though I've lived and worked in many settings, with diverse populations, my experience as a poet in writing workshops allowed me to see the great value in creative self-exploration and expression. Being in shared spaces with others as we grappled with the deepest pockets of our hearts and minds deepened my desire to help others find themselves, find healing, and find connection. In my therapeutic practice now, I bring an open mind and careful attention to each session, believing that a foundation of trust and respect is key to the therapeutic process. Outside of work, I like to keep my body and mind active by distance running, skiing, and practicing yoga. I feel most myself when I'm outside, exploring nature, seeing live music, or sitting somewhere peaceful and writing poetry or devouring a good book. I'm also a massive word game enthusiast and jigsaw puzzler, and love to challenge my perfectionism and get creative in the kitchen. Nothing makes me happier than sharing delicious food and laughter with loved ones!

Hi, I’m Megan (she/her)! I’m a therapist with a PhD and an LCSW, and I bring together clinical practice, creativity, and research to help people feel more connected to themselves and their lives. I primarily offer in-person therapy sessions and typically work with children, adolescents, and young adults (ages 8-30). My work is grounded in the belief that healing doesn’t happen in isolation; it’s shaped by our relationships, identities, and the environments we move through. I offer a warm, collaborative space where you can explore your experiences at your own pace. I often support clients navigating anxiety, depression, self-harm, low self-esteem, trauma, and related challenges, while also recognizing that diagnoses are only one small part of a much larger story. Rather than focusing solely on labels, I center your lived experience and what feels most meaningful and helpful to you. I draw on approaches such as nature-based, arts-based, and play-based therapies, as well as client-centered practices. As a queer-identified therapist, I am especially passionate about working with LGBTQIA+ clients and providing affirming, thoughtful care that honors the complexity and joy of your identities.

I help anxious and overwhelmed people-pleasers and high achievers find calm and balance, and learn how to say no without feeling guilty. I know how to help you because I've been where you are, and I know it doesn't have to keep being this way. Whether you are looking to finish school without losing your mind, deal with stressful relationships or just want to stop doing backflips and stressing yourself out to keep everyone else happy, I can help. You can check out my website to get a better feel for my style and my specialities. You can also book a free phone consultation directly from my online scheduler, because no one wants to play phone or email tag.

As a psychologist, I approach my work, both in therapy and assessment, through a holistic and trauma-informed lens. I seek to recognize the powerful interconnection between emotional well-being and physical health, in order foster wellness within a person in all areas. Through my passion of working with diverse and marginalized communities, I prioritize social justice and culturally responsive care that recognizes the impact of identity, culture, and lived experiences on mental health and well-being. In my practice, I support individuals experiencing mood-related concerns, chronic and complex health conditions, maternal/perinatal mental health concerns, and trauma-related difficulties. I hope clients leave with greater insight and coping skills which create a stronger sense of self that blooms into a confidence when navigating challenges. I strive to create a therapy experience where clients feel safe, supported, and genuinely understood. My broader vision is to contribute to a community where mental health care is accessible, culturally responsive, and viewed as an essential part of overall well-being.
