The real mistake is to stop trying.” I hope together we can work together to develop the tools to live a resilient, fulfilling life.Next available:Tue Sep 1 @ 12AM

Specializes in Family Conflict (1 adult in session), Individual Therapy +5 moreI work from a strengths-based, holistic approach to therapy. I believe in helping you recognize and utilize your strengths to meet your goals.

You have a lot more going for yourself than you give yourself credit for. I will ask a lot of questions, and there may be some discomfort. However, growth doesn’t occur in your comfort zone.

Specializes in Animal Loss, Anxiety +13 moreMy professional journey has included counseling clients through hardships, anxiety, divorce, transitions, and life's obstacles. I am comfortable treating a variety of other disorders relating to parenting, mood, and anger issues. Making a positive impact on my client's lives and futures has been my life's work and incredibly rewarding. I believe the most important part of making therapy successful is establishing a trusting relationship where I then empower the client to pursue their desired goals and overcome barriers preventing that outcome. I am very client-centered and base tools and modalities on the individual's strengths and personality. Often these interventions pull from theories such as motivational interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness, Solution-focused, and Humanistic. I am happy to intertwine Christian faith into treatment if desired.Next available:Tue Sep 1 @ 5PM

Frequently asked questions about therapists in Colorado
What matters for your care is that your therapist is licensed in the state where you live. To see an Octave therapist, you are matched with a clinician licensed in Colorado, whether you meet online or in person. Some licenses fall under interstate agreements that let a therapist practice in more than one state, but you never have to sort that out yourself. Octave confirms every therapist is licensed to work with Colorado residents before matching you.
To practice in Colorado, a therapist must hold an active Colorado license. That means completing a master's or doctoral degree in a mental health field, finishing thousands of hours of supervised clinical work, and passing a national or state licensing exam. Licenses are renewed on a schedule and require ongoing education. Every Octave therapist practicing in Colorado holds a current Colorado license, reviewed by our clinical team before they join.
Colorado therapists practice under several license types, most commonly Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSW), Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFT), and Licensed Professional Counselors (LPC). You may also work with psychologists who hold a PhD or PsyD. All are qualified to provide talk therapy, and the right fit depends on what you want to work on more than the letters after their name. Octave works with licensed therapists across these credentials in Colorado.
Yes. If your Octave therapist in Colorado is not the right fit, you can switch at any time at no additional cost. Finding the right match matters more than getting it right on the first try, and it is common to need a session or two to know. Just let us know and we will help you find another licensed Colorado therapist who suits your needs.
No. You do not need a diagnosis, a referral, or a specific reason to start therapy in Colorado. Many people see a Colorado therapist to work through stress, relationships, life changes, or feelings that are hard to name. Your therapist focuses on your goals and what you want to get out of care, not on putting a label on you.
Start with what you want to work on, then look for a Colorado therapist whose experience and approach match. Practical fit counts too: whether they take your insurance, their availability, and whether you feel comfortable with them. With Octave, you answer a few questions during intake and get matched with a licensed Colorado therapist who fits your needs, so you do not have to sort through directories on your own.
Look for an active Colorado license, which confirms the therapist has met the education, training, and exam requirements to practice in Colorado. Common credentials include LCSW, LMFT, and LPC, along with psychologists who hold a PhD or PsyD. Beyond the license, check that their experience lines up with what you want to work on. Every Octave therapist in Colorado is licensed and reviewed for credentials, experience, and clinical approach before joining the platform.
In everyday use, "therapist" and "counselor" often mean the same thing: a trained professional who provides talk therapy. Both can be licensed to treat mental health concerns, and what matters most is their license, training, and experience, not the title they use. Octave connects you with licensed Colorado therapists whose background fits what you are looking for.
A therapist provides talk therapy to help you work through thoughts, feelings, and behavior. A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who can diagnose conditions and prescribe medication. Some people work with both. Octave provides therapy in Colorado, and if medication is something you want to explore, your therapist can talk it through with you and help coordinate care with an outside prescriber.
"Therapist" is a broad term for any licensed professional who provides talk therapy. A psychologist is one kind of therapist, someone with a doctoral degree (PhD or PsyD) who may also do psychological testing. Both provide therapy, and for most people the choice comes down to fit and experience rather than the specific degree. Octave works with licensed Colorado therapists across these backgrounds.
The most important things are a valid Colorado license, experience with what you want to work on, and an approach you feel comfortable with. Practical details matter too: whether they are in-network with your insurance, how soon they are available, and whether you connect with them in early sessions. Octave weighs these factors when matching you with a licensed Colorado therapist, so you are paired with someone who fits both your needs and your schedule.
