Many of us can benefit from mental health services at some point in our lives. From working parents to graduate students, we all experience stress and change that can get overwhelming at times. When it comes to finding a therapist, Pueblo, CO may offer a greater variety of choice than surrounding rural areas, but finding counseling services isn’t always easy even in more populated areas. 

One reason for this is that in the field of psychotherapy there are a number of evidence-based approaches and techniques. Which will be most effective can depend on the treatment plan, the challenge itself, and the preferences of the individual. While a nearby clinic may offer counseling services, they may specialize in play therapy which is not necessarily effective for eating disorders or substance misuse. Like traditional medicine, psychology has many specializations, and it can be essential to find a therapist with experience in treating your population.

That’s where online therapy can help. With online therapy through a platform like BetterHelp you get access to over 30,000 mental health professionals who have expertise in a variety of specialties, and experience working with diverse populations. Simply fill out an online questionnaire, and BetterHelp will match you with a therapist that meets your individual needs. And because therapeutic alliance can be so key to success, if you need to change therapists, you can do so at no additional cost. 

Online therapy with BetterHelp can also be a solution for those who don’t have the time or bandwidth to attend in-person sessions. Online sessions fit easily into any busy schedule. And for those who are concerned about finding a safe and non-judgmental space, video chat, and text messaging options allow you to talk to your therapist from the comfort of your own home or office. Although not covered by insurance, for many people, therapy costs can be more affordable through BetterHelp, due to lack of office overhead cost. 

If you are part of the Pueblo community and have been thinking about therapy for any reason--to process past experiences, heal the breach with a family member, or gain the tools necessary to manage the stress of daily life, reach out to BetterHelp for a simple way to get started on your wellness journey.

Welcomes to BetterHelp! My name is Malia and I am Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) licensed in Colorado and Texas. I am so glad that you made a decision to get support and guidance! Therapy can be a big decision and it requires a lot of trust and vulnerability which is why it is my goal to help you feel safe to share and be yourself. I have been practicing therapy over 12 years and specialize in working with clients on a variety of areas such anxiety, depression, addictions, self esteem, grief, relationship issues, divorce and more. In our sessions, we will focus on the individual needs of each client with compassion, patience, non-judgement and understanding. I am a strength based therapist and focus on helping client’s see that they are resilient and help them work towards a new perspective. As a LMFT, while I no longer work directly with couples or families, I do work individually with clients from a relational model where we focus on how to best support you within your relationships with yourself, your personal life and professional life. We will talk about boundaries, work/life balance, values, and communication to name a few topics. We will focus on your individual needs as they relate to your current challenges and goals and discuss the impact relationship dynamics have on you. What we know is that our daily lives are impacted by those around us in every environment. That brings both a lot of support and also challenges. We will really focus on what you can control within yourself and model healthy behavior to those around you. This work will be about you, it’s for you to be your healthiest, best self. Many other topics outside of therapy can and will be explored as they pertain to you. I use a variety of therapeutic approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) , Client Centered Therapy, Positive Psychology, IFS tools and other approaches to help find a sense of inner control over thoughts, feelings and behaviors. I am honored you chose me as your provider and if you don't mind, my animals like sitting in on sessions at times. :) I am excited to work with you!

Many of the clients I work with come to therapy carrying challenges that are rooted in relationships—past or present. While trauma can occur in many ways, it most often develops within the context of our connections with others. My ideal clients are those who sense that their life isn’t where they want it to be, even if they can’t yet identify the “how” or “why.” The beliefs they’ve developed about their experiences can lead to distorted views of themselves and their worth, making it difficult to form the deep, meaningful relationships they desire. In our work together, my first goal is to build the trust and rapport needed for a genuine therapeutic relationship. From there, I’ll help you identify what needs to change and support you in taking the steps necessary to create that change—while also holding you accountable in a compassionate, encouraging way. Many people are used to mistaking criticism for motivation, especially from themselves, but that pattern can shift. I truly love what I do, and I strive to create a therapeutic space where you can feel grounded, safe, and fully yourself. Together, we’ll address the work ahead in a way that feels both manageable and empowering. If you’re ready to begin your path toward healing, I’m ready to walk that journey with you. I look forward to meeting you and getting started.
