Lisa Kunkel, LCSW

Psychotherapist
CO
Hello, and best of luck finding a therapist who is a good fit for you. I believe a good therapeutic relationship can help you relate to yourself differently, too, with greater self-compassion and less shame and self-blame. My goal is to be an ally for you and what most needs healing or holding. My approach I draw on insights and wisdom from multiple therapeutic approaches. I'll start by learning as much as I can about what is most important to you in your history, your day-to-day life, and your future goals. From there, I can provide options for the different paths we can take and get your feedback to meet your needs. My focus I am committed to trauma and resilience-informed approaches to harm and healing. Our stories are personal and also reflect the broader social fabric. Here, your identity and commitments — immigrant, queer, racialized, poor, concerned about climate collapse, etc. — matter to the work we do together and don't need to be left at the door. My communication style You can expect to be welcomed as is, with warmth and empathy. I'll invite honest feedback and be collaborative in my approach. My journey to mental healthcare I became a clinical social worker and therapist because hearing other people's stories is an honor and helps me connect to a sense of shared common humanity, and the curiosity and compassion we need to support each other and a world in need of healing. My goals for you Reaching your goals often requires a delicate balance of self-acceptance and commitment to try something new. If we could just will ourselves to desired outcomes, we wouldn't need therapy. I combine self-compassion and acceptance practices with gentle accountability and concrete strategies for change. My first session with you An initial free consultation is an important first step to ensure you feel comfortable and supported. Therapy is evidence-based, but finding someone you connect with is more of an art based on intuition.
