Teri karjala, LPC — Therapist in Colorado

Hi there, I'm Teri!

I specialize in working with adolescents and adults who have experienced trauma. I'm passionate about helping clients navigate life's challenges by providing a supportive and empowering environment. My approach integrates proven therapeutic techniques to inspire transformation and foster resilience.

My focus

I work with adults and adolescents, providing a compassionate space for healing and growth. I specialize in helping individuals who have experienced childhood trauma, anxiety, depression, self-esteem challenges, life transitions, relationship conflicts, and emotional regulation.

My approach

I combine energy psychology with brain science to create a more effective and transformative approach to healing. I help clients understand how the brain works and how to reprogram neural pathways for deeper healing and lasting change. I believe in equipping people with the right tools to empower them in creating meaningful transformation.

My communication style

I create a warm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel safe, heard, and supported. My sessions are collaborative and client-centered, allowing individuals to explore their thoughts and emotions at their own pace. I balance deep, meaningful work with encouragement and empowerment.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey into therapy began when I served as a peer counselor and helped intervene with a suicidal student. Witnessing the power of connection and support sparked a deep commitment to guiding people through life's challenges. What continues to drive me is watching people step back into their purpose and power.

My goals for you

I take a collaborative, client-centered approach to goal setting, ensuring goals align with each client's unique needs and values. Together, we identify meaningful objectives and break them into manageable steps. Using a strengths-based approach, I provide guidance, support, and accountability.

Our first session

In our first session, you can expect a warm, welcoming, and nonjudgmental space where you can share as much or as little as you feel comfortable. We'll discuss what brings you to therapy, your goals, and any concerns you may have. This session is an opportunity to start building trust and collaboratively create a plan.
