Reclamation Therapeutics celebrates LGBTQ+ lives, recognizing our complexities as sources of strength and infinite variation, rather than a diagnosis or condition to fix or cure. We are out here in the world, always have been, always will be. I want us all to live long, healthy lives of joy and dignity. Want that too? Let’s talk.

Not LGBTQ+ and wondering if you can still seek therapy with me? Hell yes you can. Yes, you can build a richly healthy sense of identity without losing yourself, I’m here for it. Yes you can pour into your non-LGBTQ+ relationships and orientations with good communication, boundaries, confidence, self-awareness, empathy, and care. Our work together centers your needs, concerns, and goals in the contexts of your life. And a cool thing about liberatory work is that it tends to benefit all people. Not sure? Let’s talk. If I’m not a good fit, I’m committed to finding you referrals for someone who is.

Integrative Methods?

  • client-centered talk therapy: we explore your thoughts, feelings, questions, concerns, wonderings

  • practical solutions: while we unpack it, implement actionable skills and tools to curate changes in daily life

  • somatic perspectives and practices: increase awareness of the interconnections between mind, emotion, and body

  • Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART): a unique approach to relieve trauma symptoms quickly, without verbally re-living the past. Evidence-based with a robust body of research, ART often brings relief in one single session.

  • NeurOptimal® Neurofeedback: not therapy, rather an FDA-approved neurotechnology designed to train each individual brain toward its peak performance. It can provide a meaningful adjunct to therapy, supporting overall health and wellness.

Services

A typical individual session is about 55 minutes. In-person appointments are held at my office in downtown Colorado Springs. Teletherapy through a HIPAA-compliant secure platform is available to all Colorado residents.

I work with individual young adults, adults, and aging folks. I see teens on a case-by-case basis to ensure I can meet their needs with confidentiality and care, while also acknowledging parent and/or caregiver rights and responsibilities.

My full fee is $180/hour. I offer significant sliding scale fees beginning at $60/session as a commitment to accessing care. I want to ensure you don’t have to choose between rent or groceries and mental health care. We can absolutely find a solution. If applicable, I can provide superbills you may submit to your insurer for out-of network reimbursement, and support you with that process.

  • Providing 60-minute and 90-minute sessions of individual therapy, in person or through secure, HIPAA-compliant virtual telehealth services.

  • Designed to relieve symptoms as quickly as one single session, ART is an evidence-based method which "works directly to reprogram the way in which distressing memories and images are stored in the brain." Plan for 90 minutes the first session, then from 60 to 90 minutes for following sessions.

  • NeurOptimal® is an advanced neurotechnology designed to train your brain to function at peak performance levels. This innovative form of neurofeedback is not a medical treatment or form of therapy, but rather a training for the brain itself. 33-minute sessions with a little time to set up and wrap up, plan for a 60-minute session.

Licensed clinicians should all be qualified and trained to support a wide range of mental health needs. In a way, we kind of all look the same in an online search. So what sets us apart? The fit. The vibes. Your comfort and trust in the therapeutic relationship. A free consult call is there for you to make sure that any intial questions you have can be answered, and to feel out the connection. If we don’t click, I will still be glad to support you with referrals so you can find compatible care.

Sometimes, it may matter more to you who your therapist is, rather than just where we graduated, what modalities we use, what our professional orientation is. It’s okay to ask about this and ask for clarity on how a therapist approaches certain issues. Ask us. Ask me. Let’s figure it out together.
