Therapists in Fort Collins, CO

My name is Erin Thomas and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Northern Colorado. In therapy, every client is different and has differing needs for the healing process to occur. This is why the most important step to me in working with a client is establishing a trusting relationship at the beginning of therapy so that I can understand how to help in the most effective way. Connecting with others in a way that supports them through difficult times in their lives has been my passion and I continue to look for new ways to help those who struggle.

Reaching out and allowing somebody to help you sort through pain can be an intimidating process. I understand the courage it takes and because of this I believe in building a strong relationship based on trust. Not every therapist is a good match and I want to respect your time and finances. I offer a free 30-minute consultation to see what it would be like to work together. My goal is to provide a safe space for your story and to help you achieve healthy relationships and self-worth. I would be honored to be part of your healing process.

Welcome to my website. My name is Julia Landis and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults in many settings and I have successfully treated a wide range of problems and concerns that arise in the field of mental health. I have worked as a therapist for more than twenty-five years and have provided individual, family, and couples counseling. I have worked with children and adolescents and their divorced parents experiencing difficulty due to parental loss and divorce. Early in my career I helped young adults change self-destructive behaviors including , substance abuse, and eating disorders.

My areas of interest and experience encompass treating anxiety, low self-esteem, family conflict, sexual assault, and PTSD. I enjoy collaborating with people who are interested in creating a healthy relationship with themselves and those around them. Individuals who work with me often aspire to cultivate a sense of self-assurance in their identity or to embark on a fresh path in life. Over the years, I have had the privilege of working with veterans, children and youth, addressing women's issues, as well as supporting those involved in the civil/criminal justice system.

“I feel lost and alone” “I feel uncomfortable in my own skin” “I worry about things out of my control” “I feel like I let my loved ones down” “I feel so disconnected from my partner”. These thoughts and feelings can be overwhelming, but you don’t have to face them alone. Together we will work to find solutions that work best for YOU. You are the expert in your own story. Life is full of challenges and I believe seeking support can be one of the toughest challenges we face. By looking at my profile, you’ve taken the first step to reach out for help which requires a lot of bravery - you should be so proud of yourself.

Welcome! Bienvenidos! Finding the right therapist can be a process. I would be a good fit if you are looking for a therapist who is highly compassionate and caring, sometimes maybe a little bit funny, while also gently challenging you as we move towards your goals together. I have a lot of experience working with individual survivors of trauma, helping them move through trauma's impacts to reclaim their lives. I am trained in various theoretical modalities including IFS and EMDR, but I also know that sometimes people just need a safe place to talk and process life. Ingles es mi primer idioma, pero también ofresco terapia en español.

Just by being here you are taking the first step toward inner healing. Selecting the right therapist for you is important, so please take a moment to read some information about me and my philosophy. I am a Colorado native and an outdoor enthusiast. I am a husband and a father. I have been working in the field of mental health for 17 years and have been a licensed therapist in Colorado for 6 years. I am a skilled therapist and I love my work! I believe in people and I believe in you. I believe you contain the capacity to heal. My goal is to help you harness your inner strength to improve your own capacity for self-healing.

You’re struggling with past painful experiences impacting your current relationships & preventing you from living life on your terms. Past therapists with traditional, rigid & impersonal approaches were not helpful for you; leaving you feeling that nothing will ever help or change. I believe healing is possible & therapy incorporating an understanding of oppressive systems we navigate can provide a space to heal. Challenging internal messaging rooted in trauma & systems of oppression can help turn off the auto-pilot or get off the merry-go-round to live a life of meaningful choice, authenticity, connection, belonging & joy.

I have a deep passion to sit with people in their darkest times of struggle. As a therapist, I too have been in need of help along my journey. I believe the strong are the people who reach out, to make their lives richer, full of peace, joy and hope. In order to heal past and current wounds, I have learned that safety is crucial to heal. Since safety is a primal need, I strive to help each client feel safe in my office and to work together to find the best solutions to their unique situation.

Whether you are struggling with trauma from the past or current, dealing with anxiety or depression that makes it hard to function in your everyday life, or have lost connection with yourself, life can get messy and chaotic. At these times we all can use some help because it is just difficult dealing with it on your own! I can assist you in reconnecting with your true self and learning how to use these hardships to develop the skills to carry you through your life. When you are ready to do this hard work, I am ready to walk beside you on your journey of healing. Caring for you is not a selfish act but an act of self-love.

I have been working in the mental health field for over 40 years. I started working in mental health facilities in my early 20's while I was in college. I have worked with adults and adolescents in all kinds of modalities, yet I seemed to focus more toward young people and their families with substance abuse problems and anxiety. Some of that stems from having to deal with my own addictions in my late teens and finally getting clean and sober at age 20. Thus, I understand what it is like to be overwhelmed by addiction and the need to engage in a recovery process.

We are accepting new clients! We are relationship specialists! Patterns in relationships can keep partners unheard, frustrated, exhausted, and alone. It might be frequent fights, or conflict that escalates, or a desire for a deeper connection. I help couples with presentations ranging from moving past affairs and high conflict to premarital checkups. Together we can get to a clearer level of understanding and break out of your pattern. In nourishing a relationship, we build a safe haven of comfort and joy which gives the strength to face life challenges. This powerful force, called love, is the most important thing in this life.

I currently work with clients in Washington State via telehealth, and have an in-person office in Colorado. I enjoy working with people of all ages and experiences, though I have particular insight into challenges more specific to women including body image, self-criticism, anxiety, perfectionisms, depression, shame, parenting, relationships, sex, and boundaries. Mental health is about holding balances in one's life, and at the core, restoring loving compassion for one's self. I support you to explore your life, belief systems, and goals; to get to the things that might be blocking you from being the support you need.

***I am unable to accept new clients at this time***Every person is worthy of living a fulfilled and meaningful life. While there are circumstances that can interfere with feeling safe, content, and in control, many of the problems encountered in life can be improved by getting the right kind of support. As a licensed clinical social worker, it has always been my commitment to partner with individuals and families who are both thinking about, but also ready to make change in their lives.

I am a licensed professional counselor. I work with children ages 13 through 18 as well as with adults. I desire to build strong therapeutic relationships with each of my clients using a person-centered approach. I am able to provide both telehealth and in person counseling. I believe that a person's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are closely interconnected, and therefore primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I can incorporate focused mindfulness techniques, assertiveness training, and work with the family through periodic family sessions. I am also receiving training in Internal Family Systems therapy (IFS).

Life can be both amazing and terrible. We all experience success and failure, love and loss, moments of bliss and moments of darkness and despair. The inconvenient truth is that almost everything that makes our life rich, full, and meaningful comes with a painful downside. Whatever a persons challenges or difficulties are in life, my work is dedicated to helping them reach their potential and build psychological flexibility. I have extensive experience working with children and adolescents. I have expertise working with clients in the child welfare system, those with life changing events, physical disability and veterans.

Living in a state of mind with revolving thoughts of sadness, fear, trauma, or even grief can make it extremely difficult to have hope for any circumstance. Happiness can start to feel like a façade. Day to day activities start to feel meaningless, and motivation for anything seems like it’s disintegrating. I would like to guide you out of the darkness to a space where you can grow. You are not meant to live in the shadows. I am here to help you cultivate a mental environment capable of prosperity. There is power in who you are, and we can embark on this journey together. I encourage you to reach out to me today!

Radical Healing - body, mind, and spirit. It is possible, even when life and your experiences feel insurmountable. You don’t have to do this alone. You deserve to feel safe, whole, and lovable. Let’s start your journey. We highly value using state of the art, empirically-based mental health services and care for individuals, couples, and families. We welcome you, affirm you, and celebrate you.

Come as you are and we will work together to find balance, heal, and make the desired changes in a judgement-free environment.
