More about Colleen
- 23 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 23 years of experience. I have worked in a variety of settings, including community work in clients' homes, Intensive Outpatient Programs, Partial Hospitalization Programs, and inpatient settings. I have maintained a private practice for 12 years. I speak my native language, English.
I work with many age groups, including adolescents ages 14-17, young adults ages 18-25, and adults ages 26-70+. I see individuals and couples, including LGBTQ+. When I work with adolescents, I consult with parents, keep them updated on their teen's progress, and hold one family/parent-child session unless more is needed.
When I work with you, I see you as a unique individual. We work together to develop your treatment goals. I use therapeutic evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Interpersonal Acceptance Therapy, psychoanalytic techniques, and art techniques. I will give you "homework," including coping skills to practice.
If you are ready to take the first steps to navigate life changes, understand yourself, and improve your life, I will walk with you through your self-improvement journey.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
