Adrienne LPC, RPT, NCC
Adrienne has always loved working with children, teens and their parents. Prior to receiving her degree in counseling, Adrienne was a pre-school teacher and a theater director, as well as a high-school group leader for 6 years leading up to this position. All of these positions have required a balance of working with the children while also maintaining a relationship with their parents.
Adrienne has clinical experience working with children, teens and adults with a range of struggles including depression, anxiety, neurodivergence, grief/loss, emotion regulation struggles, PTSD, sexuality, and life transitions. She has a desire to help clients through life’s expected and unexpected struggles by meeting them where they are at through a secure relationship. This relationship is foundational to Adrienne’s work. It serves as a home base from which she and her client can safely explore any struggles or hurts.
When working with children, Adrienne specializes in ages 2-12 and she primarily utilizes a play therapy approach with these clients. When working with teens and adults, Adrienne uses a talk therapy approach and provides Mindfulness and Cognitive/Dialectical Behavioral based strategies to help cope with life’s difficulties. Adrienne also specializes in working with parents of all ages and stages of life, specifically related to the identity and impact of parenting and its challenges. While working with a child or teen alone can have a great impact, working with parents increases the likelihood of the long lasting-impact of therapeutic change.
Adrienne earned her Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Denver Seminary after receiving her Bachelor’s in Psychology at the University of Colorado, Boulder. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor, Registered Play Therapist, and has a certificate in Reaching Children Through Experiential Play Therapy by Byron Norton at Family Psychological Services P.C. Adrienne is a Certified Trauma Professional and is trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Theraplay. Theraplay is an attachment based model of therapy that helps build a healthy bond between child and caregiver. She is also National Counselor Certified through the National Board of Certified Counselors. Adrienne is a Christian and is happy to include faith and spirituality into the therapeutic process upon clients request.
