Find a therapist in Denver, CO — covered by insurance

I enjoy helping others and hope to connect with those seeking to improve their mental and emotional health and achieve a healthier and happier life. I have had significant success with anxiety and stress reduction, depression management and reduction, release of past traumatic memories (ie. abuse, serious accidents, witnessing horrific events, etc), relationship issues, parenting skills, behavior management, and grief and loss.

My name is Stefanie Lowy, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the state of Colorado. I earned my undergraduate degree from Indiana University in Bloomington, where I majored in Human Development and Family Studies and minored in Psychology. After graduating, I spent two years working as a preschool teacher, which deepened my passion for supporting children and families.

I went on to receive my Master of Social Work from Erikson Institute in Chicago, where I further developed my clinical skills and commitment to working with young people. I am currently a high school social worker in Denver, and I truly love the work I do with adolescents.

I have experience working with clients ranging in age from 3 to 30, and I value the diversity each individual brings to the therapeutic process. I am passionate about creating a supportive, empathetic space where clients feel understood, empowered, and able to grow.

If you've been told your anxiety, exhaustion, or emotional shifts are "just stress" or "just aging" — and something in you knows it's more than that — you're in the right place. I'm Kristal, a licensed therapist with over 15 years of experience supporting people through life's most challenging transitions. That career — rooted in crisis intervention, child welfare, and working alongside people experiencing homelessness — built in me a deep capacity to sit with complexity, pain, and change without flinching. That foundation now drives my specialized work with women navigating perimenopause and menopause. I bring both clinical expertise and lived experience to this work. I've walked this road myself — which means when you show up, you will be genuinely seen and heard, perhaps in a way you haven't been in a long time.

Small town living is a special kind of living. I have lived in northeastern Colorado my entire life, except for a short 5 years in Olympia, WA. I understand small town life.

I decided to become a therapist 14 years ago and completed my Masters Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy at Northcentral University. My passion for helping families and individuals heal led me to specialize in Medical Family Therapy and to also receive advance training in EMDR therapy.

Sometimes life overwhelms us, but it doesn’t have to. I believe we all have the potential to control the way we react to situations we face.

I’m a psychiatric nurse practitioner who works from the belief that people are not broken—and that many of the struggles we call “mental illness” make sense when we look at trauma, context, and lived experience. I’m especially attuned to the ways mental health systems, stigma, and labels can unintentionally cause harm, and I aim to practice in a way that feels respectful, collaborative, and deeply human.

My approach is unconventional and trauma-informed, influenced by perspectives like those of Gabor Maté, which emphasize compassion, curiosity, and understanding symptoms as meaningful responses rather than defects. I do not believe in rushing to pathologize the human experience. As Joni Mitchell once reflected about depression, sometimes what we’re feeling is not an illness to be fixed, but a signal—an honest response to pain, loss, or a world that has not been kind.

Welcome! Your decision to seek support is a courageous step, and I would be honored to guide and support you on your journey.

I am Licensed Professional Counselor who has 15 years of experience in the mental health field. My background includes specialized training in EMDR (Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) which enables me to bring innovative approaches to our work together. I utilize a diverse array of therapeutic techniques, including CBT, strengths-based relational approaches, and person-centered therapy.

Because we are relational beings, I believe it’s important to express how we may align. As a human, I can relate to experiences of grief from losing a parent, the challenges of being a parent, navigating life in a blended family, and the impact of childhood trauma.

If you're struggling and looking for extra support—whether you're navigating a major life transition, facing challenges in your mood or relationships, or working through past trauma—I’m here to help! I seek to help my clients manage a variety of issues unique to women and couples, including the emotional and psychological changes that accompany your fertility and parenting journey. I frequently work with concerns related to infertility, loss, pregnancy, the postpartum period and the menopause transition. I bring specialized training in anxiety, depression, self-esteem, parental support, and relationship issues. My goal as a therapist is to walk alongside you through life’s challenges, helping you grow into a healthier, more fulfilled version of yourself.

Our sessions will begin at a pace that feels comfortable for you. I specialize in an integrative, holistic approach to depression, anxiety, trauma, and coping with life challenges. My therapeutic approach blends humanistic, mindfulness, somatic work, deep spiritual inquiry, CBT, and psychodynamic therapy, tailored to each client’s unique experiences. I believe in the healing potential of psychedelic medicines and offer preparation and integration for psychedelic journeys.

My therapeutic process focuses on the WHOLE person; body, mind and spirit. I have traiing in EMDR, DBT, SFBT, EFT , psychedelic assisted psychotherapy and somatic therapy.

If you’re here, you may be carrying a lot—burnout, compassion fatigue, or the weight of always being the strong one. I work with people who give a lot to others, including military members, veterans, first responders, hospital staff, and helpers who have seen too much. Together, we slow things down, make sense of what you’ve been through, and focus on practical steps that help you feel steadier, safer, more grounded, & more like yourself again over time. This is a space to breathe, regroup, and build skills that support healing, balance, and sustainable change
