Why did you become a therapist, and what motivates you to continue?

I became a therapist because I believe helping people is my purpose in this life. What motivates me to continue doing this work is to see the tangible change my clients make daily. The immense obstacles they’re able to overcome inspires me. 

My name is Lindsey and I’m an LPC. I have been licensed since 2017. I have a passion and niche for working with children, teens and young adults. I have had experience in several clinical environments to include: inpatient drug treatment, outpatient clinics, private practice, inpatient mental health and non-profits.

I identify as a Highly-Sensitive Person, which meant I felt my emotions so deeply that it was seen as a fault. I did not realize I could use my authentic self as a career. I fell in love with psychology and decided I could take that risk and got into a doctorate's program studying the very thing that brought me so much insight! I am motivated through seeing the growth in each one of my clients. The strong relationships we fostered and how much they have learned about themselves keep me going.

Hi! I'm Dr. Vy Tran, I earned a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology. My specialties are passionately working with individuals struggling with anxiety, childhood trauma, perfectionism, and low-self worth.

I have struggled with mental health in my own way throughout my life and interestingly psychology class came naturally to me because of that. When I realized becoming a therapist was an option for me, I went for it. My motivation for continuing in this career is my clients! This can be a very gratifying career and I feel honored to be able to do this work!

I believe therapy is a collaboration. I want to empower my clients and advocate for them throughout the therapeutic process. At the end of the day, I feel that each person is the expert on their own self, and at different seasons in our lives, we all need extra support and validation. I utilize an integrative style of therapy, meaning, I pull from many different schools of thought! Primarily, I use a Psychodynamic approach that is trauma-informed. I also utilize Reality Therapy and Mindfulness techniques. I invite you to reach out to me to schedule a free and casual introduction via phone to see if you believe I would be a good fit as your therapist. I thank you for your interest and I am looking forward to meeting you.

After going through an extremely rough and traumatic time in my early 20s, which really felt like rock bottom despair, it pushed me into a deep healing journey where I was able to transform myself and my life in ways that I never believed were possible. This took years and it was through therapy where I really started this important work with myself.  I am motivated every day knowing that I can help clients transform their own lives as well. I am forever honored and humbled that my clients entrust me with their stories and that I can hold space for them to navigate their own histories, traumas and personal challenges. Getting into the weeds of our lives can feel scary and overwhelming, but I have experienced firsthand how doing the work to understand ourselves more deeply can radically change our lives for the better. I feel truly lucky that I get to aid others on their own personal journeys.

Hi there! I am Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in the Denver Metro Area. I work with adults, couples and teens ages 16+. My expertise is in treating PTSD, trauma, and anxiety.  

There have been time periods in my life when I felt stuck and unsure how to proceed next.  I decided to become a therapist so that I could help others with their life challenges and what the clients perceive to be obstacles.  Each client has specific needs that usually require some type of change.  This change must be livable for the client for the change to be effective.  I can help clients choose their change before change chooses them.

Hi, am not the typical ALC.  I have over 4 decades of adult life experience including parenting, managing stress, anxiety, and depression, and my specialization is motivational interviewing for adults.  Anything can be accomplished with the appropriate mindset.  Do you ever feel stuck?  I can help you get unstuck by assisting you to make livable changes in your life.

People made me want to become a therapist and people is what keeps me motivated!
