Biography: Greetings! My name is Kylie, and I have been a practicing counselor and counselor educator for the past 14 years. I hold a doctorate in Counselor Education and Supervision, a Master's degree in School and Clinical Mental Health Counseling, and a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and Coaching. I have experience serving a wide variety of young clientele within alternative high schools, private elementary schools, and a program serving youth with diverse special needs. My primary clinical practice has been serving women, children, and families in crisis and recovering from trauma. This included six years in emergency non-profit shelters for clients facing intimate partner violence and comorbid substance abuse. I'm currently a professor in a Master's level counseling program where I teach and supervise counselors-in-training, write and publish research in the field, and present at local, state, and national conferences. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Licensed Clinical Addictions Counselor (LCAC), National Certified Counselor (NCC), and a Board Certified-Telemental Health (BC-TMH) provider as well. My therapeutic approach intentionally integrates various theoretical models dependent on client need. I believe deepened self-awareness is fundamental to long-term positive change. We all have blind spots, and this is often where our most painful pieces are buried. I believe I can help clients increase their holistic self-awareness by shining light onto irrational beliefs, cognitive distortions, existential anxieties, and potential insecure attachment styles. Most people in our lives respond or react to our overt behaviors. I'm interested in understanding the intent behind such behaviors, which is often out of awareness (unconscious). Many of us suffer various forms of trauma, and our brains and bodies create intricate defenses to protect ourselves from future pain. No one is broken, "crazy," or hopeless. Some simply need help understanding why they think, feel, and act the way they do in response to psychological threat. When we feel heard, seen, and validated for our circumstances, the defenses that no longer serve us start to loosen their grip on our lives.

Biography: Hellomy name is Charles Bihum and I have been working as a Licensed Professional Counselor for 25+ years in Colorado. It isn't always easy to reach out for help and I applaud your efforts in doing so. Most of us are good at surviving but there is a big difference between surviving and thriving.

Counseling may seem difficult at first but once we begin to find possible solutions and put them into practice, it actually becomes rewarding and hopeful again. This perceptual shift alone can help us to feel better. Life is meant to be enjoyed and not endured. Each of us has the strength inside to build the life we deserve and want. You have already demonstrated that by exploring possibilities and reaching for help. My counseling begins from a solution focused baseidentifying the problems that keep us stuck in merely surviving and then developing ways to begin to thrive and grow again.

With my 25+ years of counseling I have specialized in helping many people from all walks of life dealing with depression, and anxiety as well as relationship and career issues. I believe joy and hopefulness is inside all of us, sometimes we just need help in finding it.
