About
As a veteran and trauma-informed therapist, I understand that our experiences can shape how we see ourselves and the world around us, and I strive to create a space where clients feel safe, heard, and empowered to better understand themselves and the experiences that have shaped them.
I am a Licensed Social Worker and trauma-informed therapist with extensive experience working with adolescents, adults, and families. Throughout my career, I have supported people navigating trauma, anxiety, grief and loss, behavioral and emotional challenges, family conflict, crisis, and difficult life transitions. I work with clients who may feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, or unsure of what comes next, helping them better understand their experiences, develop healthier ways of coping, strengthen relationships, and build confidence in themselves and their ability to navigate life’s challenges.
I believe therapy works best when clients feel comfortable being honest and know they will be met without judgment. I take a practical, individualized approach, helping clients recognize patterns, build coping and communication skills, and identify strategies that fit their lives. I value authenticity, and working alongside each client at their own pace.
Reaching out for support can be difficult, especially when you have been carrying things on your own for a long time. You do not have to have everything figured out before beginning therapy. Wherever you are right now, we can start there. If you feel I may be a good fit for you or your family, I invite you to schedule an appointment.

As one who has experienced personal trauma and sought out therapy initially as a child, I have an authentic understanding of how we are impacted by painful life circumstances and how building of new life skills can empower us once again.

As a Hispanic counselor, I bring both professional experience and personal understanding of how culture, loss, and trauma can shape our lives. My therapeutic approach is compassionate, collaborative, and person-centered, creating a supportive space where clients can process difficult experiences, build practical coping skills, and work toward meaningful change at their own pace.
Hi, I'm Brittany, a licensed professional counselor (LPC) and national certified counselor (NCC). I work with teens and adults navigating life transitions, stress, trauma, loss, relationship challenges, and experiences that leave them feeling stuck. My approach is supportive, straightforward, and down-to-earth. Therapy should be a space where you can be yourself while growing. I work collaboratively with my clients to understand their experiences, develop practical coping skills, and make meaningful changes. My goal is to help you leave therapy with tools and insights that extend beyond our sessions.
My approach is straightforward, supportive, and collaborative. I create a space where you can be yourself and grow. I believe laughter matters in therapy. I use CBT, DBT, solution-focused techniques, and trauma-informed care to help develop coping skills and confidence. My goal is tackling difficult things with humor and connection.
Starting therapy can feel uncomfortable when you're used to handling things alone. You don't need everything figured out before walking through the door. We'll start where you are and build from there. If you're ready for a space where you can be yourself, feel supported, laugh, and grow, I invite you to schedule an appointment and see if we're a good fit.

My go-to approach for helping teens in counseling is being very person-centered, making sure that I get to know the teen's worldview and get to know them as a person. I enjoy a person-centered approach because it allows my client to practice their independence in a safe environment and fosters a strong therapeutic rapport.
In teen counseling, I teach the following tools:
I know a client is making meaningful progress in teen therapy when they are feeling secure, empowered, and safe enough to advocate for their needs and start to make decisions that align with their genuine selves. I love it when clients are able to celebrate their hard work and say, “Guess what? I set a boundary!” or “I was able to catch my inner critic and show myself compassion instead!”
Clients can supplement their time in online therapy with journaling, mindful walks or other enjoyable forms of exercise, deep breathing practices at home, comforting hobbies, healthy social media use, and social support.
To prepare for their first teen counseling session, a teen can reflect on what goals they want to work on in therapy, what obstacles have gotten in their way, and what they might need from a therapist. It is important that they find a therapist they connect with and feel empowered and comfortable enough to be vulnerable with.
Teen counseling helps young individuals better understand and manage the challenges that affect their mental health. Common challenges amongst teens include anxiety, depression, ADHD, and problematic relationships with food.
Teen counseling works by using multiple techniques, tailored to fit the teen’s unique needs — based on their age group, their challenges, and the severity of their challenges. It might involve cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, art therapy, and others for varying ages. In any case, Thriveworks teen therapists in Colorado Springs have the expertise and experience to help young individuals at their level.
Signs that teens might need Teen counseling can be very subjective, as they are experiencing many changes and can have intense reactions to them. As parents, you know your child best and are best equipped to judge whether certain reactions are standard behaviors for your teen or whether they might be hinting at a larger problem. Even so, there are a few common signs and events that often point to a need for therapy, such as experiencing divorce or loss, grief, consistent low moods, teens distancing themselves and becoming isolated, losing interest in hobbies, excessive anger or irritability, substance use issues, and suicidal ideation, among others.
Teen counseling providers at Thriveworks in Colorado Springs, CO offer both in person and online therapy by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The length of teen counseling depends on your teen’s needs as well as the goals that you and their therapist might have for them. Generally, teen counseling sessions will last for several months.
The Thriveworks Colorado Springs professionals have years of experience and expertise with teens – let us help. If you’re ready to work with a provider at Thriveworks Colorado Springs, simply give us a call at (719) 259-4585 today.
Teens and families find many benefits when meeting with one of our skilled mental health professionals. No matter the reason you are pursuing counseling, whether it’s an academic, personal, or social concern, we are equipped to help.
Our professionals have experience working with many issues facing adolescents today:
Growth in compassion and empathy will help them in their social world. Growth in self-esteem will help them cope with mistakes and try new things. Growth in perseverance will help them to hang in there and not give up quickly when things become difficult.
All of these areas of development help a teen to become resilient, which will help them to have the confidence to overcome whatever life throws at them.
Adolescents vary in their willingness to participate in therapy. This is where the counselors at Colorado Springs Thriveworks really shine.
Even with the most reluctant adolescents, we work to understand and connect with them. Once the relationship is established, we use a variety of techniques to understand your teen’s thoughts, emotions, and actions, set goals, and work together to get your teen growing and thriving in life.
You’ll be surprised that even very reserved and quiet teens will open up and work collaboratively with our professional counselors.
Teen Therapy Strategies May Include:
The professional counselors for adolescent therapy at Thriveworks Colorado Springs individualize each therapy plan. Just as each adolescent and family is unique, so are the techniques and strategies used. We will work with you to identify goals and discuss progress as we close into the identified goal. In addition, we want your teen to leave each session with a spring in their step and a renewed sense of confidence.
