Catherine Anderson

Therapist

Virtual • Colorado


I believe that humans should ideally be unfolding and growing throughout their lifetime. This means embracing change, especially when life gets difficult and we feel stuck, dissatisfied, or overwhelmed. Change is a journey with ups and downs. Personally, I believe we all struggle with challenges at different times in our life and it's the courageous who seek help.

Dr. Lara Neely

Dr. Lara Neely

Therapist

Virtual • Colorado


I’m a Doctor of Behavioral Health, Licensed Professional Counselor, and Clinical Hypnotherapist with advanced training in integrative, mind-body approaches to healing. I specialize in helping adults navigate anxiety, panic attacks and OCD. I also work with people who are experiencing depression, trauma, chronic stress, and difficulty navigating life transitions.

My clients are often looking for more than symptom relief — they want to gain a deeper understanding of themselves, reconnect with their inner strength, and create meaningful, lasting change. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with a wide spectrum of people: from Veterans to homeless and individuals facing severe mental health challenges, to highly successful clients navigating the unique pressures of wealth, relationships, and career demands.

No matter their background or circumstances, what unites my clients is a shared desire for healing, clarity, and growth — and a commitment to creating a more fulfilling life. I meet each person with the same compassion, warmth, and nonjudgmental presence, honoring their unique story while walking alongside them on their path toward wholeness.

Regardless of your history, you are important to me. At our core, I believe we all long to be heard, validated, accepted, and healed — and it is an honor when your journey crosses with mine. For those who wish, I also welcome the integration of spirituality into our work, creating space for deeper meaning, connection, and transformation as part of the healing process.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 24 mi away • Colorado


Are you feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you? Maybe anxiety or OCD is keeping you from living your life in the way that you would most enjoy. Or perhaps you are challenged by losses or life transitions which are difficult to face alone. Having a safe place to express your thoughts and feelings can make a difference.

I became a therapist after seeing the benefits of counseling and art therapy on both personal and professional levels. I’m a licensed professional counselor since 2011 and a board certified art therapist since 2022. I hold a Master’s degree in Transpersonal Counseling Psychology with a concentration in Art Therapy. In addition to my degree, also have significant training in a variety of evidence based treatments, including ERP, CPT, Motivational Interviewing, CAMS and ACT.

My experiences with hospice patients and caregivers, seniors, people in addiction recovery, people in crisis, people struggling with anxiety, trauma, life transitions, cultural and social justice concerns, have inspired me to offer therapy in private practice. In my spare time, I love to cook, sing, hike, and make art.

Dazholi Love

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Colorado


Here for your support.

As a licensed Marriage and Family therapist who specialized early in working with under supported and marginalized groups. I don't think about relational therapy as something limited to the nuclear family model, rather as a way to see ourselves as parts of bigger systems. I am an ADHD Clinical Services provider who also has ADHD, so I know just what it is like to think outside and be outside the box. I studied literature in my undergrad and this helps me to help people understand and write their own life stories.
