I try to create an authentic, relaxed environment, using humor at times to make clients feel comfortable and accepted.

Hi, my name is Devon Herndon and I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), licensed in Colorado and Arizona. Helping clients move through depression, anxiety, trauma (PTSD), life transitions and family-of-origin issues are my main focus areas of practice. My communications tyle is very conversational. I engage with my clients throughout the session, there is a lot of back and forth. I also recognize the importance and value of silence in a session, so I'm comfortable sitting in it. While I can be direct, when needed, I also like to incorporate humor.

Hi! I'm Hilary Maxwell and I love walking along side people as they journey through life's up and down, twists and turns. I am always so grateful when people such as yourself want to have someone to talk to and my aim is to create a space that is safe for you to share whatever you need to in order to get clarity on your next steps when working through a situation and the emotions it may evoke. (CO #0011776) My hope is to create a space that is welcoming and inviting for you to share what you need to. I tend to listen to get a better understanding of the situation and when appropriate offer my thoughts and perspective. At times, this comes across as curious while being direct.

A client's relationship with his or her therapist is very important. Real change is possible only when a client feels comfortable being genuine with the therapist. This ability to be oneself fosters change within a safe environment where clients can explore their experiences. Together we can help you achieve more awareness and a more authentic life. I'm excited to help you choose a path to guide your life's choices. When working with a child who is struggling, I believe the entire family should be involved. Many challenges begin at home, making the family unit an important focal point. Within the confines of a judgment-free relationships, I can help you identify problematic family dynamics. With an understanding that no two situations are alike and that every person's struggles arise from a different background, we are able to set a personalized approach to your therapy.

If you're reading this, chances are something has felt off for a while — in your relationship, in yourself, or in a life that looks good from the outside but feels harder than it should. We understand that experience. And we know that the women who find their way here are rarely looking for advice, tools, or reassurance. They're looking for a space where they can speak honestly — about what's actually happening in their relationship, what they're afraid of, what they've tried, what they're uncertain about — without having to manage anyone else's reaction while they do it. Our sessions are different things on different days. Sometimes celebratory, sometimes quiet and reflective, other times sad or heavy. But they're always unhurried. There's no agenda to push you toward a particular decision or outcome. What there is, is genuine curiosity — about your history, your patterns, and the connections between the two that often go unexamined for years. What we find, again and again, is that the most meaningful shifts happen when a woman begins to see the thread between her past experiences and how she shows up today — in her relationship, at work, with her family. Those moments of recognition — when something that has felt confusing or shameful or simply stuck suddenly makes sense in a new way — are where real change begins. Not just understanding it intellectually, but feeling it differently. We work at that level. It takes time, and we don't rush it. But the women who do this work with us describe changes that are quieter and more durable than what they expected — a steadier sense of themselves, relationships that feel less reactive, a mind that doesn't run on overdrive. If something here resonates, we'd welcome the chance to talk. A free 20-minute consultation is a low-pressure way to get a sense of whether work with us feels like the right fit.

My relationship with my clients is central to all my work with them - meaning that I work to establish a safe and collaborative one. My approach to helping couples and individuals involves coming along-side and helping clients become more aware of their deeper emotions by helping to take them experientially into those emotions. This expanded awareness creates a deeper sense of wholeness as clients become more and more aware of their deeper selves. It then opens the door to understanding the ways they have coped over the years and more importantly discovering new ways of dealing with what is at the core of it all - our longing to be in secure loving relationships - in a way that feels in harmony with who they are at the core of their being. My approach assumes that we are not broken and in need of repair but rather have developed very understandable ways of coping with our world and the 'hand we have been dealt'. Helping couples achieve a safe relationship and deeper intimacy is a major focus of my work. I use the best validated and most effective couples therapy in the world. It is called Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). EFT has become the dominant method of couples therapy having been relentlessly researched and proven in more research that any other form of therapy in existence. The research has shown not only extremely high satisfaction rates among couples but also a very low rate of relapsing back into old patterns.

You ask, "Do you still want to be with me?" Your partner hears an accusation; you were hoping for reassurance. You end up arguing about why you asked, and the question underneath goes unanswered. Or you say "it's fine" before you've worked out what you actually need. I work with individuals and couples at these points of misunderstanding. Your history matters. So do sleep, money, housing, and whether anyone is sharing the load. Sometimes the most useful next step is practical support, a clearer agreement, or a chance to rest. I want to understand your actual circumstances and what matters to you before we decide what to work on. I'm down to earth and direct. If I think how you're handling something is working against what you want, I'll say so and explain my thinking. I'll also ask what I might be missing. You can disagree with my perspective and ask why we're trying a particular exercise. Your priorities guide the work. My focus is attachment, with a psychodynamic foundation: how earlier experiences shape what a moment means to you now. We notice when an old hurt surfaces and practice a different response. With couples, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) helps us map the cycle between you. Parts work helps us understand conflicting feelings and protective responses. I occasionally use Gottman techniques for a specific conflict or conversation. There's room for kindness, humor, and talking plainly about what's going on. Start with a free 20-minute phone consultation. Bring your questions and get a feel for how we talk together.

Are you stressed, or feeling less effective in your work, social, or parenting life? I have 30 years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW).

I work with adults, children, families, and couples, using modalities that work for you: cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, art and sand tray, as well as eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR).
