Amy Cooper
I am a licensed professional counselor in Colorado with over 7 years of professional work experience. I have worked with many clients wanting to manage their stress and anxiety as it relates to personal relationships and surrounding the work environment. I also have an extensive background in supporting clients with substance use disorders and other addictions. Taking a harm-reduction approach to this work has empowered my clients to lead self-fulfilling lives. I was also trained by Stephanie Covington, a trauma and abuse researcher and author. This training has allowed me to work with clients on healing without reliving the traumas of the past. Most recently, I have done training around disordered eating and supporting clients in healthy relationships with food and body image. My therapy style is very integrative and client-centered, I will adjust my practice to meet your needs while also providing education about different aspects of the therapeutic process. I use techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy, person-centered therapy, and humanistic therapy. I truly believe we are on a journey together and that I can support you in accomplishing your goals in an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

Life can throw unexpected challenges our way, especially in our closest relationships. When problems arise, I'm here to help you explore those moments with compassion and understanding. Through a strengths-based systemic approach to therapy, we'll explore all aspects of your life that might be contributing to the issue at hand, and work towards finding practical solutions that resonate with you. I firmly believe that problems don't exist in isolation. That's why I take a holistic approach, considering how various factors in your life might be influencing the challenges you're facing. In our sessions, you'll find a safe, non-judgmental environment where you can freely express yourself and discover your own strengths and resilience. My passion lies in empowering individuals to become the best version of themselves. I see each person as the expert of their own life, and my role is to walk alongside you on your journey toward growth and self-discovery. Together, we'll build a trusting relationship grounded in respect and empathy, and I'll provide you with the tools you need to move forward with confidence. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Colorado State University before relocating to Texas in 2012 to pursue my Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy from Capella University. Over the years, I've gained experience working in both inpatient and outpatient settings, addressing a wide range of issues including depression, anxiety, life transitions, and self-esteem. I have always loved northern Colorado and missed living there so in 2023, I moved back to Colorado with my husband. I'm excited to embark on this journey with you and to support you in building meaningful, healthy relationships and finding significance in your unique experiences. If you're ready to take the next step towards positive change, I'm here to help.

Education, experience, credentials: - Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in both Hawaii and Colorado - Alumni of the Sex Therapy and Education Program at the University of Michigan - Have worked in mental health in higher education for the past 8 years - Masters Degree in Social Work from Colorado State University - Member of AASECT (American Association of Sex Educators, Counselors, and Therapists) - Level 1 Gottman Method Training- modality for treating couples/partners Specializations: Sex, Sexuality, Relationships, and Intimacy. Some common issues that clients may find themselves seeking support for include: - Desire or arousal (sometimes referred to as high/low sex drive) - Sexual functioning: pain with sex, premature ejaculation, delayed ejaculation, erectile dysfunction, vaginismus, dyspareunia - Fetishes or sexual interests - Kink and/or BDSM - Polyamorous relationships or consensual non-monogamy - Infidelity or cheating - Gender identity and exploration - Sexual orientation and exploration - Sexual trauma - Out of control sexual behavior (or sometimes referred to as sex addiction) Therapy Approach: Talking about emotions (especially when related to sex, sexuality, relationships, and intimacy) can be incredibly difficult. Throughout our lives many of us have been confronted with fear and shame-based messages, inaccurate and harmful information, and often problematic ideas regarding our well-being (and sexuality). These experiences can leave us feeling confused or ashamed, ultimately impacting our ability to tap into our full and authentic selves. You are, and have always been, the expert of your own experience. Even if it might not always feel like it, you already hold all the answers to your own self-discovery & growth. As your therapist, I would love to come alongside you to support & guide you in the process of your healing, growth & self-fulfillment.

Melanie McGinn
Are you seeking a compassionate space to navigate a difficult time? Do you desire both empathetic listening and gentle encouragement to grow? If so, we might be an ideal fit on this journey together. I'm Melanie McGinn, a licensed clinical social worker. With over 20 years of experience working with individuals and families, I've had the privilege of hearing countless stories and helping individuals navigate through some of life's most challenging transitions and losses. I specialize in helping clients work through anxiety, depression, career transitions, family and parenting challenges, and grief and loss. In our sessions, you’ll find a compassionate listener who genuinely values your story. I believe in the power of truly hearing you—your fears, hopes, and everything in between. My approach is warm and empathetic, providing a safe space where you can feel understood and supported. While empathy and understanding are at the heart of my practice, I also believe in the importance of challenge and motivation. I will gently but firmly encourage you to step out of your comfort zone, confront difficult emotions, and make positive changes in your life. My goal is to help you uncover the strength and resilience within you, empowering you to navigate life’s challenges with courage and endurance. One unique aspect of my practice is my love of books and poetry, which I often integrate into sessions by recommending readings that complement our therapeutic work and provide additional insights and comfort. I earned a bachelor's degree in English and a Master of Social Work from the University of Minnesota-Duluth in 2008, becoming a licensed therapist during my career in human services. My approach integrates Person-Centered Therapy with Mindfulness-Based and Narrative Therapy techniques. If you're going through a difficult or confusing time and feel that I could accompany you and offer guidance on your journey, please reach out. I'm here to listen, support, and help you uncover your unique path toward peace.

Shari Wind
I am licensed in Colorado with 14 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, & motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. 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. Relationships are an important part of the foundation of our lives, both the relationship we have with ourselves, and the relationship we have with others. The relationship we have with ourselves can be challenged by internal conflict, feelings of being stuck, and fears that stops us, causing our lives to be unsatisfying. Since we 'live' in all 3 time periods, the past, present, and future, we want to make sure that our past 'stories' are not interfering in our present lives. And then by understanding what our fears are, we can have a better view of the future. Counseling is an unique opportunity to reconnect with ourselves and others. It's an opportunity to pay attention to parts of ourselves that we try to ignore. It's also an opportunity to have the life that you want and deserve. My clients appreciate my engagement, honesty, and authenticity in our work together. I strive to understand what it's like to 'walk in your shoes' which helps me counsel more effectively. I consider counseling a team effort! I understand that it takes a lot of courage and motivation to begin counseling and talk about yourself. But it's actually the best conversation we can have to understand what's getting in the way.
