Therapists serving clients in Ovid, CO

Greetings! My name is Kylie, and I have been a practicing counselor and counselor educator for the past 14 years. I hold a doctorate in Counselor Education and Supervision, a Master's degree in School and Clinical Mental Health Counseling, and a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and Coaching. I have experience serving a wide variety of young clientele within alternative high schools, private elementary schools, and a program serving youth with diverse special needs. My primary clinical practice has been serving women, children, and families in crisis and recovering from trauma. This included six years in emergency non-profit shelters for clients facing intimate partner violence and comorbid substance abuse. I'm currently a professor in a Master's level counseling program where I teach and supervise counselors-in-training, write and publish research in the field, and present at local, state, and national conferences. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Licensed Clinical Addictions Counselor (LCAC), National Certified Counselor (NCC), and a Board Certified-Telemental Health (BC-TMH) provider as well. My therapeutic approach intentionally integrates various theoretical models dependent on client need. I believe deepened self-awareness is fundamental to long-term positive change. We all have blind spots, and this is often where our most painful pieces are buried. I believe I can help clients increase their holistic self-awareness by shining light onto irrational beliefs, cognitive distortions, existential anxieties, and potential insecure attachment styles. Most people in our lives respond or react to our overt behaviors. I'm interested in understanding the intent behind such behaviors, which is often out of awareness (unconscious). Many of us suffer various forms of trauma, and our brains and bodies create intricate defenses to protect ourselves from future pain. No one is broken, "crazy," or hopeless. Some simply need help understanding why they think, feel, and act the way they do in response to psychological threat. When we feel heard, seen, and validated for our circumstances, the defenses that no longer serve us start to loosen their grip on our lives.

From a young age, I have been deeply driven to make a difference in the lives of others. This calling has taken various forms throughout my journey over the past two decades, including teaching, serving as a school counselor, and coaching and developing individuals as a school principal. Through these diverse experiences, I have witnessed firsthand the profound impact that unsupported mental health challenges can have on overall well-being. My passion for helping others has led me to a realization: without a strong foundation of mental health and well-being, even if all the other aspects of life seem to align, individuals cannot fully engage in a fulfilling and peaceful journey. It is this realization that has fueled my commitment to becoming a licensed professional counselor. Throughout my education and professional journey, I have observed the transformative power of addressing and supporting mental health.

I believe that authenticity and connection are essential in the therapeutic journey. So, let's get real! In addition to being a dedicated counselor, I am a wife, mother, and friend. Life outside the therapy room is filled with various hobbies and interests that bring me joy. Traveling is one of my passions, as it allows me to explore new cultures and gain fresh perspectives. When I'm not on an adventure, I find solace in interior design, creating spaces that reflect warmth and comfort. You'll often find me immersed in a good book, taking in the wisdom and stories that unfold within its pages. Playing at the lake or hiking in nature rejuvenates my soul, reminding me of the beauty and tranquility that surrounds us. And yes, I confess, I have a terrible but enthusiastic love for cooking, always trying new recipes (with varying degrees of success). One of my quirks is creating my own idioms, often stumbling upon humorous combinations that deviate from the norm. Laughter is integral to my life, and I embrace my inner nerdiness, cracking jokes and inventing new words like "passionation" to describe my deep passion and fascination with understanding how people learn and develop into their authentic selves. Now, despite my laundry list of Pinterest-worthy hobbies, let me be honest with you – life is messy, challenging, and often far from perfect. As a mother, I've experienced the juggling act of raising children while pursuing a fulfilling career. Trust me, my kids were probably late to school more often than not (I can't blame the bus driver for that one!). Amidst my academic achievements, what I'm most proud of is embracing the multifaceted nature of life. Life is a wild adventure, a mix of stress and beauty, precious and fleeting. I've learned to sit with all its facets without judging myself too harshly. And that's the wisdom I bring to our counseling sessions – an understanding that we are all imperfectly human, navigating this journey together. Are you ready to rewrite your story, embrace your authentic self, and embark on a transformative journey of healing and personal growth? Let's walk this path together, forging a new narrative of empowerment, self-discovery, and lasting transformation. Take the first step towards a fulfilling and joyful life aligned with your truest self. Reach out today, and let's begin this transformative and authentic experience together.

I believe in both a traditional and integrative approach to therapy and allowing the client to find what best resonates with them. We are all on a journey through life facing challenges as they come. I believe part of my journey is to help individuals through life’s challenges. For me, helping other is a privilege and an honor.
