Lesley Craig, LCSW — Therapist in Colorado

Hi there, I'm Lesley!

Talking to someone about our worries can be difficult, but I firmly believe we all need support and a safe place to start healing at times. I will be there to offer solutions and suggestions with a healthy dose of humor.

My focus

I work with adults to identify problematic thoughts and patterns that can be negatively impacting their functioning. I know we can heal from traumatic incidents with the appropriate support. Together, we’ll build coping skills and create a plan for growth that feels empowering and achievable.

My approach

I like to use a solution-focused approach to identifying and resolving problems and identifying a positive path forward. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) also helps identify and reshape unhelpful thoughts. My approach is practical and collaborative.

My communication style

I prioritize clear, open communication to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment. I will give you opportunities to reflect on your experiences with you as an empathetic partner. If we’re working through something challenging, you can expect me to be calm and patient.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to becoming a provider started in the unlikely setting of animal control. Interacting with people during difficult or crises became a driving force in changing careers. People have incredible resilience and the ability to heal from life stressors, and it is my passion to support them along the way.

My goals for you

I see therapy as a partnership where we identify and work towards achievable goals.

Our first session

Our first session will be a conversation and an opportunity to get to know each other. You can share whatever you are comfortable with, and we will move at your pace.
