About
I believe healing happens when you feel genuinely heard, respected, and supported as a whole person, not just a diagnosis.
I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) with 15 years of experience providing compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric care. I work with children ages 10 and older, adolescents, and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD, mood disorders, trauma, and psychotic disorders. Many of the clients I support feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, or stuck and are seeking clarity, stability, and relief.
I earned my master’s degree in nursing from the University of South Alabama. My approach is collaborative, individualized, and compassionate, with a focus on understanding each client’s full experience, strengths, and goals. I provide thoughtful evaluations, clear education, and treatment planning that may include medication management and supportive care.
Seeking mental health care can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. I strive to meet clients with respect, understanding, and support while helping them improve emotional well-being and daily functioning. I would be honored to support you as you take the next step toward healing and growth when you feel ready.

As a psychiatric nurse practitioner, my approach is rooted in the belief that healing isn't about being "broken" and needing to be fixed, but rather about providing you with a safe, collaborative space to process deep-seated challenges and reclaim your inherent resilience.
Hi there, I'm Brea! Brea Kilpatrick. PMHNP-BC. My approach: My mission is to provide compassionate, personalized care for all individuals struggling with mental health issues.
My focus: I specialize in treating mood disorders (depression & bipolar), anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, adjustment disorders, depression, trauma disorders, & attention disorders, to name a few. As a nurse practitioner, I prescribe medications when needed.
You deserve a safe, compassionate space to heal, grow, and reclaim your peace. When you feel ready to take that next step toward a lighter, more grounded version of yourself, I invite you to reach out and schedule your first appointment. Let’s navigate this next chapter together.

Life can be messy, relationships can be complicated, and sometimes we all need a safe place to put it down for a while. You don't have to have the right words or have anything figured out before you walk through my door. Come exactly as you are. I'll meet you there with warmth, honesty, compassion, and probably a little humor along the way. Together , we will figure out what comes next.
I am a licensed professional counselor with experience working with adolescents, adults, and families in outpatient, community-based, home-based, and child welfare settings. I earned my Master of Science in Counseling and Guidance from Kansas State University and have spent my career providing individual and family therapy, crisis intervention, assessment, and treatment planning. My experience includes working with at-risk youth and families involved with social services and juvenile justice systems, as well as individuals navigating trauma, substance use, mental health concerns, relationship difficulties, and life transitions.
I bring a warm, collaborative approach, believing the relationship is key to meaningful change. I'm compassionate but direct when needed. Using CBT and trauma-informed care, I'm especially passionate about working with adolescents, women, and families. I also spent over a decade running a real estate business, giving me a broad perspective on resilience.
I believe therapy should feel human. Clients do not have to arrive with everything figured out or know exactly what they want to change. I meet people where they are and help them understand themselves, recognize their strengths, develop healthier ways of coping and relating to others, and move toward a life that feels more authentic and fulfilling.

I’m a warm, behaviorally grounded therapist who will meet you with compassion and real-world tools—so you feel understood, learn what’s driving the patterns, and build skills that make daily life worth living.
I'm a therapist with a practical approach grounded in DBT and behavioral principles. I work with clients stuck in intense emotions, anxiety, shame, or repeating relationship patterns. I draw from DBT, CBT, and behavioral strategies while keeping work collaborative and tailored to you. Many clients want clear tools and practice to manage overwhelm, reduce reactivity, improve communication, and feel more steady. Whether navigating stress, transitions, neurodivergent traits, or patterns that don't match who you're trying to be, my goal is to help you feel understood and empowered—with a practical plan you can use.
My style is warm, direct, practical. I use DBT and behavioral strategies to help you identify patterns and practice skills that work. I also use CBT for thinking patterns. You can expect collaboration, accountability, and real-world focus through coping plans and communication practice. My goal is for you to leave with skills you can use independently.
If you've been carrying a lot while staying functional, you're not alone. Therapy is a place where you feel genuinely understood and learn skills to make life more manageable, one step at a time. If you're ready for supportive, practical work grounded in real change and compassion, I'd be honored to work with you. Schedule an appointment when you're ready.

Insomnia therapy is a tailored form of treatment that addresses chronic sleep disturbances, which can include problems with falling asleep, staying asleep, or experiencing restorative sleep. The goal of Insomnia therapy is to enhance sleep quality, establish healthy sleep routines, and, in turn, improve an individual’s overall well-being by mitigating and reducing the adverse effects of persistent sleep deprivation.
Insomnia therapy combines therapeutic approaches, with a central focus on cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) to modify sleep-disrupting thoughts and behaviors, integrating techniques like stimulus control, sleep restriction, and relaxation training. Thriveworks Colorado Springs therapists will also emphasize sleep hygiene education and may include mindfulness and relaxation exercises to improve sleep quality, equipping individuals with effective strategies to enhance their sleep and overall well-being.
Common symptoms of insomnia include:
Symptoms of insomnia often look different for everyone; however, there are some warning signs that can signal the need for insomnia therapy. These include feeling anxious about bedtime, bedtimes getting later and later, energy peaking at night rather than during the day, and drastic caffeine consumption in order to stay awake.
Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) is one of the most effective forms of therapy for treating insomnia, working to modify sleep-disrupting thoughts and behaviors through strategies like sleep hygiene and sleep restriction.
Insomnia therapy at Thriveworks Colorado Springs is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The duration of insomnia therapy can vary based on the individual’s needs and progress in treatment. Typically, it involves a short series of sessions over a few weeks to a couple of months, with the number and length of sessions decided in consultation with the therapist. Some experience better sleep within this time, while others choose longer therapy to address complex sleep issues or maintain good sleep habits.
Many people start to see improvements in their sleep patterns after about two to three weeks of CBT-I. However, the duration and effectiveness will differ for everyone, so don’t worry if it takes a bit longer to have a strong effect.
Your bedside alarm clock reads 12:03. You sigh and roll over, fluffing the pillow and rearranging the blankets. Go to sleep, you think. 15 minutes later, you give up and make your lucky good night tea, and then give the allusive sleep one final shot. 12:47 and you get up with a sigh, accepting that you are going to have to tackle the day with only 2 hours and 3 minutes of sleep.
What if we at Colorado Springs Thriveworks told you that you don’t have to accept the sapping effects of insomnia? Our insomnia therapy could be the relief that you need. Reach out to us today for help.
Insomnia can be different for everyone. Some fall asleep quickly but also wake up easily. Others may wake multiple times in the night; never reaching the deep sleep needed to recover and prepare for the next day. Or maybe you just can’t fall asleep in the first place, and end up maddingly watching the clock as your peaceful time for dreams ticks away. Others still may sleep for 8 or more hours, but wake up feeling more exhausted than when they first laid their head down.
Insomnia can also occur on its own with no apparent cause, but the sleep therapists at Colorado Springs, CO can address it- no matter the root of it!
It can be very overwhelming dealing with life while lacking sleep, so let us push you in the right direction towards a healthy, happy sleep schedule. You are not alone in this fight!
One method our therapists may use is changing the daily habits and thoughts that may be contributing to insomnia. The brain is a very powerful tool, and often times it can be working against people! For example, long sufferers of insomnia may begin to believe they are simply “bad sleepers.” This reinforces insomnia behavior by training the subconscious to believe these negative false truths. Therapists at Thriveworks Colorado Springs, CO can recognize and reverse the negative belief patterns through changing daily habits and thoughts- called cognitive behavior therapy- and replace them with beneficial thought patterns and beliefs.
Another method used is addressing the underlying cause of insomnia. For example, anxiety is often associated with insomnia, so learning to cope with that can make sleeping much easier. Our therapists are experts at working on a case-by-case basis and specialize their treatments to the causes and nuances of insomnia unique to the individual.
Overall, we can aid you in optimizing your sleeping conditions by regulating bedtimes and waking times, honing in on proper exercise and diets (including how and when you work out and eat) and giving you relaxation guides to help you calm your mind and body before bed.
Insomnia can suck the joy out of life, but with the professional help of Colorado Springs Thriveworks, you can get your life back on track! A few weeks from now the digital alarm clock numbers that used to mock you will be a joyful reminder of how much restful sleep you got. Contact us today to schedule your first insomnia counseling appointment. We have therapists who are available to fit busy schedules, and appointments are available as soon as this week! 719-266-3919
