Therapists in Fort Collins, CO

Change isn't easy, but neither is remaining stuck in old habits that hinder growth, wellbeing, and connection. For ambitious, hard working women and femmes caught in cycles of anxiety, perfectionism, and self-critisism, this journey can feel uniquely discouraging and isolating. I specialize in swiftly uncovering the roots of these patterns, empowering you to achieve your goals without sacrificing your mental health or relationships. Your mind, like your body, possesses remarkable transformative abilities. Let's work together to nurture this process and cultivate deeper peace, confidence, and resilience in your life.

It's confusing and overwhelming to be living in our world today. You are gifted, highly sensitive, and often feel overwhelmed by what you experience and perceive in the world. You are intuitive, creative, expressive, full of spunk, and zest. Yet you get frustrated by old patterns, lack of follow-through and being inconsistent. This impacts your performance, relationships and most important your life mission. Embark in a deep, spiritual transformation, met with compassion, support, authenticity and kindness! I'll push you to become your best self, and let go of what is not working in your life in a fun and collaborative process.

Does "getting up and out the door" seem to be a daily struggle? It's 9am and your mind is "so full" with worry and racing thoughts that you can't remember where you put your car keys and you are late for work, again. Your loved one asks you why you snap at them and you wish you had an answer. Maybe memories from a painful loss or traumatic experience still haunt you, even in your sleep. Since you can't sleep maybe you drink a bit more or scroll your phone all night. You stopped going out or socializing because you feel alone even around loved ones. You just want to feel "like yourself" again but forgot what that even means.

Sometimes in life it feels like we keep getting in our own way. We keep seeing the same unwanted results but we just can't find the point where we're getting it wrong. It can be hard to tell whether it's learned behaviors from past experiences, symptoms from something like ADHD or anxiety, or even a complete mystery. Taking some time to understand the what (am I doing?), why (is that what I do?), and how (that is impacting what I want?) can lay the foundations for change in those patterns. With a bit of self-compassion and hard work, of course.

At times we might find ourselves struggling with these specific concerns: anxiety, depression, life transition, work stress, self-esteem, self-worth, or relationship distress. At these times we need guidance and support to help us achieve our goals. I collaborate with clients throughout their treatment process. I provide a non-judgmental therapeutic space to explore ideas, thoughts, behaviors, and emotions while teaching practical coping skills. I work with college students and professional adults (18+). From the start of us working together I meet you where you're at and we work towards your goal with the purpose of 'graduating'.

Want practical recommendations to improve your life, reach your goals, and be your best self? Are you struggling with how to manage a transition in your life, your mood, attention, or time? I help individuals struggling with executive functioning and ADHD gain insight and build a personalized toolkit of skills that are aligned with their goals. I have worked with people struggling with self-regulation, organization, time management, and planning for over 10 years. We will work together to help you gain insight, identify your strengths, and build a personalized toolkit of skills that promote success.

Life can be difficult. Dealing with the stressors of school, work, parenting, and traumatic events can make you feel like you are drowning. Add to that the many beliefs out there that tell us we are not good enough and it leads down a dark path. There is hope. If you are struggling with guilt and hopelessness of not being good enough, or the constant overwhelming feelings of losing your mind, you are not alone. You do not need to turn to things that only temporarily make you feel "ok." You are enough and we can work together to overcome those obstacles. You deserve more. Change your mind. You deserve to thrive.

Neurodiversity refers to variances in how our brains function. This can include neurodevelopmental issues such being on the autism spectrum, having ADHD, auditory or sensory processing issues, learning disabilities, and/or neurologically based mental health issues such as chronic anxiety, depression, OCD, or PTSD. These differences in brains styles affect how people perceive the world, communicate, and express and receive love. We do this by offering therapy, coaching, consultation, or education for individuals, couples and families, as well as business consultations.

Navigating the world with ADHD can be challenging. You want someone who truly understands ADHD, who can help you meet your goals, and process the feelings that come with ADHD. You've come to the right place. Whether you are a student, parent, entrepreneur, or working to discover your gifts and purpose, you'll make the most of your natural strengths, find ways to cope in environments that don't understand the ADHD brain, and explore a variety of options to help you achieve your goals. I also help those identified as gifted navigate the issues that often accompany that identification.

Are you struggling with your relationships? Do you feel anxious, burnt out, or have ADHD? My clients seek help to feel better, discover themselves, and heal from past trauma. Reaching out is the first step and often the most difficult; don’t let that hold you back. My integrative approach focuses on building up your strengths, instilling hope, and bringing wellness into your life.

I see the best in others, and want to help you see this in yourself too! When we can wholeheartedly accept ourselves, and honestly and compassionately explore what's working and what's not, and what we truly value in life, then we can create meaningful change. Whether paralyzed by anxiety, sadness, past experiences, or beliefs that you aren't good enough, or are feeling unfulfilled, stuck, or overwhelmed by life stress, I can help. Together, we can work towards feeling more confident, capable, at ease, and connected.Colorado clients with UHC, Oxford, & Oscar insurance schedule here:https://headway.co/providers/abby-peterfeso

If you’re here you might feel stuck, disconnected from yourself or others in your life. You may be overwhelmed with negative or critical thoughts about yourself and wonder why it’s hard for you to navigate life when others seem to do it effortlessly. You may have felt like you were different your whole life or like it’s hard to fit in anywhere. You are not alone. Our society is purposely crafted so that we feel constantly inferior. The truth is that there is no schedule or no one direction that works for everyone. Each person walks their own path and realizing this truth is part of the healing process.

Are you being adversely affected by everyday life stress? In today's fast-paced, high demand society, with little time for self-care, you may feel anxious and/or depressed. You may have challenges in relationships, or be dealing with substance use and possibly abuse. If you can relate to any of the above, then you have come to the right place. Here at Bridgeways Counseling, you will experience a highly qualified, respectful and supportive therapist who offers a compassionate, solution-focused and direct approach in helping you reach your therapeutic goals.

I work with adolescents and adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, panic attacks, and phobias. I have experience working with specific diagnoses including anxiety disorders, depression, panic disorder, ADD/ADHD, and autism. I am certified in treating tech addiction (gaming, social media, video) and promoting digital health in children, adolescents and young adults.

I have extensive experience working with depression, anxiety, ADHD, as well as other disorders. However, I take a relational perspective and don't define people by their symptoms. Stress, anxiety, depression, illness, can get in the way of the relationships we want. Even positive aspects of life, such as parenthood, education, and work can be obstacles to finding and maintaining close connection with others. I can help you learn to communicate more effectively, or get a handle on the anxiety or anger that hangs over everything you want to accomplish.
