Meet the Team

---

I am a licensed clinical social worker. My professional experience includes working with populations struggling with substance use and trauma. I also have experience working with those involved in the criminal justice system. I prefer to utilize a client-centered, interpersonal approach in the therapeutic relationship and am trained in EMDR. I am also a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, Certified Grief Informed Professional, and a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist Candidate. 

I prefer to utilize a number of different therapeutic modalities in sessions, such as DBT, CBT, attachment, narrative, etc. I believe in the importance of finding the right coping skills and in the importance of self-care. I also feel it is important to have an interpersonal experience within the therapeutic relationship.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with 5 years of experience working with individuals experiencing loss, trauma/negative experiences, depression, anxiety, and addiction.  In my practice I believe that everyone's unique experiences are best met with creative solutions. Through the use of different modalities including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), solution focused therapy, and narrative therapy we can create a specific plan that fits your lifestyle and goals. Through therapy we are able to start at the goal of how we want to feel and/or behave and work backwards by creating specific steps to get there. I hold a few beliefs through my practice and these include: 1.The person you spend the most time with is yourself so how we talk to and about ourselves matters. 2. We get the best results when we look at all aspects of health including physical, emotional, spiritual, financial, social, and all others. and 3. We can not stop all bad things and pain from happening in life. We can work hard to cope with them in a way that is effective for us. I look forward to hearing your story.

Are you navigating the aftermath of trauma, experiencing a significant life transition, dealing with anxiety, depression, or another mental health concern? Maybe you are struggling with changes in your current relationship or friendships, or struggling with substance use. I'm here to support you. As an LGBTQIA+ affirming therapist, I am here to support you through any and all identity exploration. I am dedicated to providing a safe and nurturing space where you can process your experiences and find effective, tangible solutions. My approach to therapy is holistic, client-centered, and trauma-informed, utilizing a blend of Motivational Interviewing, ACT, and CBT/DBT to address your unique needs.

Together, we can work towards understanding your challenges and developing practical tools to navigate life’s inevitable chaos. If you’re ready to embark on a journey of healing and growth, I’m here to help. Let’s connect and start building a path toward a more fulfilling and balanced life.

As a queer, bi-cultural woman my approach is trauma informed and intersectional, focusing on compounded challenges such as cultural background, race, sexual orientation, and gender identity. We will also focus on family systems and attachment styles. Together we will work to change patterns and defense mechanisms that may no longer serve you. We will creatively bring unconscious material into awareness offering a more balanced relationship with your Self, while integrating parts of you that have been abandoned, neglected, or forgotten.

I take a creative, strengths and values based approach while incorporating cultural awareness and mindfulness-based practices. Depending on our goals I will utilize a range of modalities including, CBT, DBT, ACT along with artistic mediums and transpersonal practices: dreams, symbolism, metaphor, and creative writing.

Have you suffered trauma(s) throughout your life? Do you feel like you are living in a state of constant stress? Did you have a strained family dynamic? I work with complex trauma, LGBTQIA+, medical complexity/disability, and individuals dealing with challenging family dynamics to heal from chronic freeze or fawn states so that they can experience the full spectrum of their emotions and discover their purpose and meaning after Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and other traumas. I also work with neurodiversity, and adults who are late diagnosed to help them best understand the brain they have, and how they can work with it as it currently exists. 

Hi, I'm Lily. I graduated with my MA in counseling psychology from the University of Denver, and am an LPCC in Colorado. My passion lies in accessible therapy and helping clients embrace the brain and body they have. As a relational psychodynamic therapist, I believe that the relationship between myself and my client is the most important component of therapeutic success. With a foundation of solid rapport, I provide the space for trauma processing, establishing values, creating and implementing coping strategies, and engaging with the full range of your emotions to find purpose and meaning in the life you have. 

I believe in treating the problem AND the symptoms. I am dedicated to helping you heal and grow into your authentic and healthy self, regardless of what you have experienced in the past. You deserve to live the life you want and have the life you need. 

Lex Irias is a bicultural Latina who grew up between Honduras and South Florida, shaped by the constant dance of adaptation and belonging. Her lived experiences have given her a deep understanding of cultural transitions, identity, and the importance of finding grounding in an ever-changing world.

Having grown up in a family impacted by addiction and witnessing the struggles of substance use firsthand, Lex developed a strong passion for supporting communities affected by addiction. Her background in digital marketing also gave her direct insight into the growing crisis of digital addiction—an emerging mental health concern in today’s world. At Siendo Human, she helps individuals break free from compulsive behaviors, whether related to substance use, technology, or social media, through a holistic and sustainable approach to recovery.

As a therapist, Lex takes a holistic, systemic, and intuitive approach. She views therapy as a collaborative and transformative journey—one that fosters self-awareness, empowerment, and ideally, a place where therapy is no longer needed. Her work is grounded in developmental theories, bioenergetics, depth (Jungian) psychology, and a blend of Eastern and Western practices, including positive psychology, non-violent communication, and deep self-exploration. She also integrates art, play, and movement as therapeutic tools to help clients process and express emotions beyond words.

Lex holds a Master’s in Clinical Behavioral Health and Addiction Counseling, is a certified trauma-informed yoga instructor, has completed training as a Synergistic Play Therapist, and is currently pursuing certification in Nutrition for Mental Health and Internal Family Systems.

I think of my role as your therapist like the wind that bends the willows at high elevation —helping them grow stronger and more flexible over time. I’m here to support you in building the life you want, always taking care to move at the speed of trust.

I’ve worked in wilderness therapy, residential settings, intensive outpatient programs, and private/group practices, and what I’ve learned is that healing happens through genuine connection — between you and me, between you and yourself, and in your community. I focus on collaboration and creating space for honest, sometimes challenging conversations, always with the respect and care you deserve. (I am not the kind of therapist who just listens and nods.)

My therapy style uses a mix of fancy clinical approaches, including EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), attachment theory, polyvagal work, somatic techniques, mindfulness, existential ideas, and the occasional nature-based metaphor. Together, these help create a space where safety and challenge meet side by side, so you can really explore (and heal) the parts of yourself affected by those difficult or confusing experiences.

I specialize in working with clients facing complex challenges including anxiety, identity-work, relationship issues, life transitions and addiction (including sex addiction/offenders). In our work, you can expect to be held in a genuinely nonjudgmental, safe space where challenge and collaboration are one in the same. We’ll work together with honesty, curiosity, and deep compassion to help you let go of what is no longer serving you and replace it with the development(s) you seek.

Hello, I'm Jessica. People from all walks of life experience challenges and stressors that can be overwhelming and impact their well-being. Counseling can provide you with a safe place to talk about these stressors, gain the tools to overcome challenges, and achieve balance and fulfillment in life. I believe in the power of therapy to help you gain insight about your thoughts, shift your outlook, and increase awareness of your feelings, needs, and desires, to help you live your best life.

Using a collaborative strength-based approach, I help guide and empower you to quiet worrisome thoughts, explore painful patterns in your life, and provide practice in coping, self-care, and personal growth. In a non-judgmental, compassionate, and supportive way, I can help you find relief and change patterns of behavior in your personal life and relationships. When working with clients, I strive to build a trusting relationship in which you feel heard and understood.

I began my journey in the field by working in various residential treatment programs for adults and adolescents while earning my Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology and integrative therapeutic practices at Metropolitan State University of Denver. In 2017, I graduated from the University of Denver with a Master of Arts degree in clinical mental health counseling with a specialization in substance abuse. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Addiction Counselor (LAC). Over the past 7 years, I have been working with adults in community mental health, providing individual therapy and crisis evaluations. I also have experience working with children and adolescents, offering in-home individual and family therapy for over 2 years.

I specialize in working with adults battling depression, anxiety, trauma, substance use concerns, and clients navigating life transitions. My approach is eclectic, tailored to suit the unique needs of each client. I have been trained in and utilize a variety of treatment approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Trauma-Informed Care, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness, Solution-Focused Therapy, Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality (CAMS), and EMDR.

If you're ready to take the first step towards a more balanced and fulfilling life, I'm here to support you on your journey. Let's work together to help you achieve your goals and find the peace you deserve.

Hello. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate (LPCC) with my MA degree in Counseling Psychology from the University of Denver. I primarily work through a person-centered approach, as I believe the client/counselor relationship is one of the most foundational aspects of the therapeutic process. I also have experience incorporating CBT, DBT, ACT, mindfulness based interventions, Internal Family Systems and attachment theory.

I am passionate about working with LGBTQ+ individuals and others with marginalized identities. I enjoy working with individuals throughout life's many transitions, whether discovering new identities, job shifts, family or relationship structure changes, retirement and beyond. I am also committed to helping clients work through trauma and its triggers to decrease the impact on their daily lives. 

From a young age, I’ve known that helping others would be at the heart of my life’s work—but how I help people matters most. As a Marriage and Family Therapy Candidate, I’m passionate about walking alongside individuals, couples, and families as they explore growth, healing, and connection. I believe that meaningful change begins with insight, compassion, and understanding.

My approach is warm, relational, and insight-oriented. I strive to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel seen and heard as they process emotions and experiences at their own pace. I value authentic validation and believe that healing happens when we allow space for vulnerability, curiosity, and self-discovery.

I am especially drawn to systemic and process-oriented therapy, which helps uncover the deeper patterns, cycles, and intergenerational influences that shape relationships. Together, we work to understand these dynamics and nurture healthy, lasting change that extends beyond surface-level solutions.

I view therapy as a collaborative and empowering journey rooted in trust, empathy, and authenticity. My goal is to help clients reconnect with their strengths, embrace balance, and rediscover hope and resilience—within themselves and their relationships.
