Hello! My name is Kaela. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate in Colorado with 3 years of experience working with adults. Additionally, I received my master’s degree in mental health counseling. This has given me a wealth of knowledge on how to provide supportive and individualized treatment to support individuals. I have a passion for working with clients who identify as BIPOC and have military backgrounds, as well as clients who are experiencing grief, struggles with their moods, or coping with trauma.

Vulnerability sounds like truth and feels like courage. Truth and courage aren't always comfortable, but they're never weakness." Brene Brown. I'm a licensed professional counselor passionate about seeing people not just having a deeper understanding of what they've experienced or are experiencing but moving towards healing, change and wholeness. I've been treating individuals, families and couples for over 18 years. I can truly say I continue to find great joy, and meaning in this work to enter into the stories of others and to provide space for healing, truth, compassion, reconciliation and hope.

I am compassionate and caring in my therapeutic style and will help you find your strengths and hope when life is difficult. I believe all people have answers to the problems and challenges they face. My role, as a therapist, is to help you discover these answers during therapy.

Welcome, you made it! Taking the first step to therapy is courageous and can seem uncertain and unknown. Regardless if this is your first time seeking therapy or twentieth time, you have arrived! Some questions that can start the therapeutic journey might be "am I surviving life rather than thriving in it?" "Do I want to work through grief, anxiety, loss of meaning and purpose, or interpersonal challenges?" "Are my partner and I ready to discover a new phase of our relationship? Or create a new shared vision for our relationship and/or and family?" Whatever your question is, therapy is a safe and supportive place for your inquiry.

Seeking therapy is a courageous act, and I want to thank you for taking the first step to improving your mental health and happiness! My name is Cassie Matz, and I have been a therapist since 2010. My passion is in helping people find meaning and purpose while coping with grief and loss, depression and anxiety, parenting issues, and women’s issues (including fertility, relational issues, career challenges, adjustments to parenthood, and self-esteem). You are the expert in your life story, and I will follow your lead as we work towards meeting your personal and relationship goals.

Feeling overwhelmed by stress or anxiety? Struggling with career challenges or relationship issues? Dealing with ADHD and its unique set of challenges? Or perhaps you're navigating the complex emotions of grief and loss. I'm here to guide you through these moments with empathy. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change.

I work with men and women facing both the 'big' and the seemingly common issues of life. 'Big' life changes like a cancer diagnosis or a partner experiencing dementia; 'Life' issues like relationships, grief/loss, anxiety, anger, depression, persistent feelings of sadness, job difficulties, retirement challenges and more. Those who work with me soon come to appreciate the value of being heard; of being seen and accepted-despite the sharp edges that may appear as we try to protect ourselves from the pain the world sometimes presents us.

You are a woman who has been devastated by pregnancy loss, pregnancy termination due to medical reasons, or infant death, and you are ready to talk to someone who truly understands how sad and alone you feel. You are grieving your sweet baby and just want someone who can listen without judging or telling you that “everything happens for a reason.” You feel heartbroken, ashamed, and angry. Your world has stopped while everyone else’s has moved along. If you see one more pregnancy announcement, gender reveal, or birth announcement on social media you might lose it.

I am a licensed therapist based out of Denver offering virtual individual and couples therapy. I find working with people in learning how to better cope with challenging situations, feelings, and events greatly rewarding. Therapy can be a wonderful tool in navigating a tougher season of life, chronic mental health issues, working through past trauma, or struggling with societal or systematic inequalities. I specialize in working with depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, self confidence, parenting, life changes, and challenges specific to LGBTQ+ populations.

I enjoy working with adults and older adults. I look forward to working with people in all stages and ages of life as there are transitions and changes happening for most of us all of the time and coping with those can be challenging. My approach is often times a combination of talk therapy, ACT, CBT, solution-focused brief therapy, motivational interviewing, and person in environment centered focus.

Finding a therapist you connect with can be especially challenging when already feeling disconnected from yourself and from those around you. I have found that a validating, non-judgmental, and genuine therapeutic relationship with clients is the first and mightiest step towards healing. I work with often misunderstood men, women, and teens to help improve self-esteem, explore the impacts of trauma, navigate relationships, and to move forward with less weight on their shoulders. The soul of my work is to help identify the root of the struggle so we can laugh and cry to coping, healing, and resilience.

I believe every person’s story has value and meaning. It is important for every person to have a voice in an environment that is safe with unconditional acceptance. My goal is to provide this space for my clients. I focus on building relationships with a person-centered approach. I operate with the understanding that we are all part of a system and the impact this can have on our lives.

I regard the body as an integration of the physical, emotional, and mental. My personal journey has given me an understanding of inner and outer connectedness and the body's innate ability to heal on all levels of being. I believe that how we relate to others begins with our relationship to ourselves. With a passion for supporting neurodiversity, gender diversity, and sexual empowerment and freedom, I combine therapy, movement, nature, and mindfulness to strengthen the mind-body connection and help individuals thrive.

Do you wish you felt more confident and had better relationships? Does fear or anxiety hold you back? Most of us feel lonely, isolated, insecure, ashamed and misunderstood at times, which keeps us from enjoying peace of mind and accomplishing our goals. If you are tired of living this way, therapy can help you tackle the things that are keeping you from a satisfying life. I believe in empowering, validating, and offering therapeutic support to my clients so that they can move forward and see change.

Struggling with anxiety or difficult emotions? Want to move forward in life? Tried other approaches but still have your problem? Hypnotherapy uncovers the root cause of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, enabling you to address them directly so you naturally act and feel better – so you can finally be happy.

Creating a safe environment is where I begin. I see therapy as a collaborative process that can lead you toward a greater capacity for self-awareness, trust, clarity, a sense of meaning and freedom. Life gives us surprising obstacles, which can make us feel stuck, depressed, alone or scared. With therapeutic presence, creativity and guidance, we can change our relationship to obstacles and transform. Our darkest point may mark the moment we realize we want to change. I use yoga and creative writing in my practice, and have training in mindfulness/somatic approaches, gestalt therapy, family systems, DBT, & depth psychology.
