Child Psychologists and Child Therapists in Federal Heights, CO.

Katie’s approach to counseling children is warm, relational, and grounded in the belief that kids do their best when they feel safe, understood, and supported. She creates a welcoming therapeutic space where children can express themselves in ways that feel natural to them, using developmentally appropriate, trauma-informed, and strengths-based interventions. Katie integrates creative therapies such as play and movement to help children communicate feelings they may not yet have words for, while also building emotional regulation, self-esteem, and coping skills. She works collaboratively with caregivers when appropriate, honoring family systems and attachment, and always centers the child’s voice, pace, and unique strengths in the healing process.

Child and teen counseling involves working to address the emotional, behavioral, and mental health needs of young people. My priority is creating a nurturing and supportive environment. I will work with your child to uncover underlying sources of distress and equip them with effective coping strategies. A welcoming setting where thoughts and emotions are expressed openly, without fear of judgement. Therapy sessions customized to address specific challenges, goals, and developmental needs. A comprehensive approach that ensures compassionate and individualized care.

Teens can have a variety of difficulties including questioning their identities, struggling with self esteem and acceptance issues, worrying about meeting expectations, lacking organizational skills, and recovering from abandonment or trauma. I work with teens to help them develop their personal values, identify their unique talents and abilities, develop social and practical skills, and heal from past hurts and trauma. Anxiety and bullying are also common issues I work with.
