Hi. I'm Suzanne.

Welcome to my practice, The Healing Space Counseling.

 

If you are navigating the overwhelming weight of anxiety or the unique, high-pressure demands of life as a first responder in Colorado, I want you to know that you’ve found a soft place to land. In the quiet of our therapy space, the noise can finally stop.

My work is grounded in specialized training and evidence-based approaches. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT), I provide practical, effective tools that translate into real-world relief. We don't just talk about the past; we build the clarity you need for your future.

I believe true healing begins the moment you allow yourself to be seen exactly as you are, without judgment. Together, we navigate the silence and process the hard things, moving toward a sense of resilience that feels both grace-filled and sustainable.

Whenever you're ready, I'm here to listen.

Anxiety Therapy

When anxiety shows up and refuses to leave, it can be brutal! I get it. Learn invaluable emotional regulation and cognitive reframing tools to help navigate persistent worry and panic to work towards new thinking patterns that promote inner clarity and confidence.

Depression Counseling

If you are experiencing depression, you may already know several ways to help yourself, but have zero motivation to do so. Therapy focused on alleviating depressive symptoms is geared toward restoring your vitality through supportive counseling that honors your journey and builds long-term emotional resilience.

Intimacy & Connection

Feeling like roommates? Have you been having the same painful conversations without successful resolution? As a couples' therapist, it is my experience that romantic relationships involve two loving, good-intentioned people who get stuck in negative communication cycles. As a result, they often behave in ways they are not proud of.

 

I can help you and your significant other identify the negative cycle happening between you, break free from the cycle and start healing the  emotional injuries that occurred as a result of that cycle.
