Cari McLerran, LPC — Therapist in Colorado

Hi there, I'm Cari!

We all have experiences that have impacted us, and my goal is to be a space for you to feel heard, understood, and gain insight and skills to navigate an ever-changing world as your best self. I've supported people in crisis and those struggling with addiction.

My focus

I work with adults on a variety of issues, including addiction, mood disorders such as depression and anxiety, and self-esteem. I also have some experience working with ADHD and trauma.

My approach

I use MI, DBT, ACT, and add my own love of geek culture as a way to connect with and help you grow. I use a person-centered approach to engage collaboratively with you to reach your full potential, finding tools and skills to help manage everyday stresses with confidence while also handling the unexpected.

My communication style

I create a supportive, non-judgmental environment through open communication and active listening. You'll have opportunities to reflect on your experiences with me as part of your team. When working through challenges, I remain calm and patient as we develop solutions and skills to help you reach your goals.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always wanted to help people and listen when they need to feel heard. I've worked in settings like residential treatment and crisis work that have given me a chance to provide support and comfort when people need it the most.

My goals for you

I work collaboratively with you to reach your full potential, finding tools and skills to help manage everyday stresses with confidence while also handling the unexpected by seeking support and using what you already know.

Our first session

Our first session will be an opportunity for us to get to know one another. We'll discuss your background and what brings you to therapy, as well as your expectations. It's normal to feel nervous about your first appointment. We'll take it one step at a time, and I'm here to guide you every step of the way.
