  • Substance use
  • Trauma
  • EMDR

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, with training in EMDR and certification in sex addiction therapy. I am also a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional and Certified Grief Informed Professional.

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.

  • LGBTQ+ support
  • Life transitions
  • Trauma
  • Geriatric mental health
  • Neurodiversity

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.

  • Relationships
  • Couples therapy
  • Marriage
  • Family systems
  • Insight-oriented therapy

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.

I am a counselor candidate whose clinical background is rooted in serving some of the community’s most vulnerable populations.

In my practice, I focus on helping individuals manage anxiety, navigate life transitions, and safely explore aspects of identity. Our work will focus on building stability now so you can confidently tackle what matters most to you afterward. If you’re looking for someone to help guide you through life’s chaotic challenges, I am committed to helping you navigate through.

  • Emotional regulation
  • Relationships
  • Trauma
  • Anxiety and depression
  • Relapse prevention

I view growth as a process of returning to ourselves through healing. Even when we have passed through darkness or felt stuck, we remain autonomous beings deserving of safety, belonging, and empowerment. My work is grounded in an IFS, mindfulness-based, person-centered approach, integrating evidence-based interventions such as CBT, DBT, ACT, and others.

I support children, teens, adults, individuals, and couples navigating emotional regulation, relationship challenges, anxiety, depression, trauma-related concerns, relapse prevention, and behavioral management. Together, we create space within body and mind for meaning, hope, and transformation.

Throughout my journey, I have experience working with diverse populations across the lifespan in a range of clinical settings, including individuals with disability, behavioral concerns, and neurodivergence. I also welcome supporting persons to assist human growth during session. As a BIPOC queer therapist, I also bring a bilingual multicultural lens to session with particular care for BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and immigrant clients.

Fenton Lawler · LSW

Capitol HillArvadaTelehealth

Fenton supports children and adults navigating complex trauma, anxiety, depression, and relational stress with a warm, collaborative approach that affirms neurodiversity and recognizes the impact of trauma.

Works with children and adults

  • Complex trauma
  • Suicidal thoughts
  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Relational stress
  • Neurodiversity

Hi, I’m Fenton! I’m a trauma and neurodiversity-affirming therapist for adults and kids navigating complex trauma, suicidal thoughts, anxiety, depression, and relational stress. I’m especially passionate about working with autistic and ADHD folks and the LGBTQIA+ community.

With my background in mental health crisis work, I am comfortable sitting with you in the hard moments. I won’t ask you to mask or minimize what you’re experiencing. My style is warm, collaborative, and grounded in validation, honesty, and humor. My goal is to help you build a meaningful life and be present with you in moments that feel like no one else could.

My work draws primarily from DBT, IFS, somatic work, and existential therapy. We might explore your thoughts and emotions, notice what’s happening in your body, or understand the different parts of you that are trying to protect you. Before becoming a therapist, I worked as an electrical engineer. That background still shapes how I work: I’m curious about why your patterns developed and how your relational, cultural, and developmental history has shaped you.

I offer in-person therapy in Arvada and Denver, as well as telehealth across Colorado. Reach out for a 20-minute consultation to see whether we might be a good fit.

Shannon Miller · Counseling Intern

Capitol HillArvadaTelehealth

Shannon provides individual and couples counseling for adolescents and adults, with a warm, collaborative approach and a passion for supporting neurodiverse clients and diverse and marginalized populations.

Works with teens and adults

  • Neurodiversity
  • Anxiety
  • Trauma

Hello! I believe that genuine therapeutic connection and a collaborative environment can foster healing, safety, and confidence throughout the therapy journey. My goal is to create a space where you feel truly safe, heard, and supported. I meet each client where they are and use evidence-based practices to create an individualized and intentional plan for therapy.

I currently work with adolescents and adults and provide both individual and couples counseling.

I am working toward specializing in chronic illness, medical trauma, and disability. My own experience with chronic illness showed me the importance of having medically informed mental health providers. Illness, injury, and chronic conditions can be isolating and misunderstood, and I hope to provide a welcoming and validating space for those navigating these experiences.

Neurodiversity is another area of focus for me, and I have a strong passion for supporting neurodiverse clients. I also work with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and other mental health concerns. I am passionate about working with diverse and marginalized populations and providing multicultural care.

My approach is warm, open, compassionate, and judgment-free. I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, somatic practices, artistic therapies, and trauma-informed approaches. I also offer faith-based spiritual integration when desired by the client.

I believe nobody should have to carry their struggles alone. You are welcome here just as you are!
