Accepting New Clients
Our
Story
At Authentic Healing, we believe meaningful therapy begins with connection, trust, and feeling genuinely understood. Our team provides compassionate, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive care for individuals, couples, and families throughout Colorado.
We are a small group practice made up of experienced leadership, a Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate, a Social Work Candidate, and graduate-level clinical interns. Each clinician brings their own lived experience, professional interests, and therapeutic style while receiving ongoing clinical supervision and support.
Our approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and grounded in the belief that people are more than a diagnosis or the challenges they are facing. We welcome clients with diverse identities, backgrounds, family structures, and life experiences.
Authentic Healing offers statewide telehealth services, accepts Colorado Medicaid and select commercial insurance plans, and is committed to expanding access to thoughtful, high-quality mental health care—particularly for rural and underserved communities.
Who are we?
Meet the Authentic Healing team—a diverse group of compassionate clinicians committed to providing trauma-informed, culturally responsive care. Each team member brings unique experience, strengths, and perspectives while working collaboratively to support clients throughout Colorado.
