I enjoy working with clients facing anxiety, depression, trauma, chronic pain, substance use, and life stress. My integrative approach draws from mindfulness, IFS, and somatic therapy.

Clients who work with me often say they feel genuinely seen, not judged, and met with compassion. They begin to develop a deeper understanding of themselves, find relief from emotional and physical pain, and reconnect with their inner strength and wisdom.

Lyle Speth
I believe this truth lies at the heart of mental health. My role is to create a supportive environment where you can safely express your pain, and—at your own pace—begin facing it voluntarily. My goal is to help build your resilience and sense of competence in the face of life’s challenges, with the hope that one day you will no longer need me. I work primarily from an Adlerian perspective, emphasizing the importance of purpose and community belonging—vital elements of mental well-being that are often overlooked. I also use cognitive behavioral therapy to help address more acute symptoms of distress, particularly for those struggling with anxiety and OCD.

If so, we can work through them together. If you’re struggling with something overwhelming, therapy can help you find clarity and a path forward. Maybe you’re experiencing depression that leaves you drained, lasting effects of trauma, or relationship struggles. You don’t have to face these things on your own.

Kristina Carrera
You might be a good fit for working with me if you feel like you’re holding a lot inside. Maybe you look like you have it together on the outside, but internally you feel overwhelmed, anxious, or exhausted—especially when it comes to relationships with family, partners, or friends. You might be dealing with stress from school while also trying to navigate breakups, family tension, or long-standing patterns in relationships that you don’t fully understand yet. Maybe you’ve caught yourself thinking, “I should be able to handle this,” but something still feels stuck. If you tend to be someone who cares deeply about others, takes on responsibility, and pushes through—even when it’s hard—you’re not alone. Many students I work with feel this way. They’re not broken or failing; they’re just tired of carrying everything by themselves. If you’re looking for a space where you can slow down, talk honestly, and learn practical ways to cope while also making sense of what you’re going through, we’ll likely work well together. You don’t have to have all the answers—just a willingness to show up as you are.
Rebekah Paster
As a licensed clinical social worker, I am passionate about helping adult and adolescent patients dismantle shame and live a joyful life as their fullest, most authentic selves. My therapeutic approach is rooted in Health At Every Size (HAES) and social justice-aligned principles, with a focus on those struggling with eating disorders, trauma/PTSD, and anxiety, as well as specialty work with LGBTQIA+, neurodivergent, and Jewish-identifying clients. No matter the struggle, I view each patient as a whole person rather than a collection of symptoms and diagnoses, taking a trauma-informed approach to help you develop greater self-esteem and self-efficacy. If you are interested in working together, please reach out and schedule a free consultation. I look forward to meeting you! Working together, you can expect a warm and compassionate environment that supports you in your journey toward greater mental health. I utilize a mixed-therapy approach to help you gain greater self-awareness and act in a way that’s best aligned with your goals and values. These therapies include DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy), IFS (Internal Family Systems), and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), as well as ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Throughout my career as a therapist, I have been committed to helping adolescents and adults break free of patterns that have been keeping them from achieving their goals. I view each client as the expert on their own lives, and enjoy providing them with tools that lead them toward building the lives they want and deserve. I can often be found hiking, skiing, or relaxing outside in my free time. When I’m indoors, I enjoy reading, cooking, weightlifting, and rooting for the Colorado Avalanche.

“I keep telling myself to relax, but even my own mind won’t listen.” “It feels like I’m fighting a storm no one else can see.” Anxiety can feel like it runs the show, with racing thoughts, constant worry, and the sense that you can never fully relax. It might leave you lying awake at night, second-guessing yourself, or feeling on edge in situations that once felt easy. Over time, the stress can spill into every part of your life, fueling depression, stirring up old trauma, or straining your closest relationships. Even when you try to push through, the weight of it all can feel overwhelming. You do not have to live this way. In our work together, you will have a safe space to feel understood and supported. My approach is compassionate and collaborative as we explore what drives your anxiety, build tools for relief, and work toward greater balance, healing, and resilience. Reaching out for help takes courage, and it can be the first step toward real change. I invite you to contact me today to schedule a session. Together we can begin the process of creating a life that feels more manageable and fulfilling.

Working together, you can expect a warm and nurturing environment that combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and psychodynamic therapy to help you manage current mental health symptoms and work to strengthen your relationship with "self" and others. My style is holistic, and I tailor my approach to each person's unique situation. My time as a caseworker led me to becoming a therapist. As a caseworker, I supported young parents in obtaining their high school and college degrees, an experience that strengthened my commitment to providing empathetic care and highlighted the power of the therapist-client relationship in connecting and supporting a diverse range of individuals.
