it will direct your life, and you will call it fate.”

Word on the street is . . .
Colleen is one of those rare dedicated behavioral health professionals who is true to her passion and does not get caught up with the self-righteous and controlling people in the field. Colleen is a wonderful ambassador and advocate in behavioral health. Her personality and genuine nature comes through in her patient and family work. She works hard to keep learning and to keep helping in innovative ways. I have had opportunities to work with Colleen. She is very intelligent, well-trained and has a big heart. Her love of her family keeps her grounded and effective in a tough field.
~Thomas M.
Colleen has been a brightness in my life for nearly 30 years. I have been fortunate to have seen her grow from an energetic college student into the focused and caring professional woman, nurse, and mother she is today. She is known by her smile and thoughtfulness, her cheerful disposition and positive attitude that opens doors and removes obstacles. She knows intrinsically what to say and do in any situation and has a heart that knows no bounds for compassion and grace. Colleen is someone I am thankful for by the richness she brings to every moment, by the focused determination she has for every goal she pursues, and for the energy and life that fills every place she goes. I recommend Colleen without reservation for any opportunity fortunate enough to receive her consideration as worth her unique and capable touch.

I’ve tried a couple of yoga classes before but I’ve never felt so relaxed and good afterward then I did with Colleen’s class. Some of the poses are difficult to do but I felt comfortable just doing what I could do. I liked that Colleen explained everything well throughout the classes. I like to be talked to through all the poses & steps. I never liked yoga before when I’ve tried it but I really enjoyed the classes. I felt relaxed and stretched out after the classes. Colleen has a very calming voice which I found very soothing & relaxing. Thank you very much, great job!

No, I do not accept insurance. One hour Individual sessions are $90/hr, and Couple/Family sessions are $150. I highly value client autonomy and privacy and find that HMO’s tend to require diagnoses, dictate care plans, the number of sessions allowed, and can & do audit records. Not accepting insurance removes these barriers, and ensures we work together creatively, flexibly; with your goals driving our session work. I accept Credit, Venmo, Pay Pal, Zelle, & Cash app.

There is no prescribed number of sessions required or expected. I will work collaboratively with you to design a mutually agreed upon schedule. At the end of each session, I will ask you if you would like to schedule another. Some clients report feeling better after the first session, the result of finally having a safe space to lay down their concerns without feeling judgment.

You are the expert on you. You should expect to feel heard, seen, and understood in a non-judgmental safe space, where we will build rapport & establish trust. I hope you will feel my empathy, warmth, and genuineness come through in our sessions together. We will work cooperatively to support what You want to achieve…whether that be feeling less alone in your grief, breaking free of self sabotaging patterns, or targeting any number of specific goals you choose.
