Sometimes stuff happens that is out of our control. Kids especially can be affected by this. At Busy Bee Therapy, our goal is to provide kids and families with effective therapeutic interventions for a variety of issues. Although our specialty is trauma based services, we also provide treatment for mood and anxiety disorders as well. We also provide parenting services using the Circle of Security curriculum or the Safe Care curriculum. As all families are different, we avoid a "one size fits all" mentality. Interventions, skills, and techniques are tweaked to specific family needs. You may be wondering about me--what makes me qualified to do this? Well, firstly, I earned a masters degree in Clinical Psychology from the University of Colorado (go buffs!) Secondly, I've lived in a variety of places over my career, and have four current, active licenses in four different states; Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Idaho; Clinical Mental Health Counselor in Utah; a Licensed Addictions Counselor in Colorado; and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida. While living in Colorado, I was faculty at the University of Colorado Medical School in the Department of Pediatrics since 2009, and was affiliated with the University of Colorado Hospital and Children's Hospital Colorado since 2007. I worked with the Kempe Center for the Prevention and Treatment of Child Abuse and Neglect from 2007 to 2014, and have experience working with families in crisis, who have experienced traumatic events, and parents who simply aren't sure where to go and what to do with children who are having difficulties. I will 100% brag about my colleagues at the medical school and hospitals--they were amazing, and the training I received in a variety of therapeutic interventions was among the best in the country--and I am grateful for it. I have been trained in such modalities as Child Parent Psychotherapy, Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Prolonged Exposure, Circle of Security, Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy, play therapy, Safe Care, Safe Start, and others. Working at university and hospital settings, as well as in private practice, allowed me to work with various community organizations and with a variety of families from different backgrounds and with various needs. Working with families to improve the lives of children is something I am passionate about. I look forward to working with your family soon!
