Bea, Master’s Level Intern
Bea is in her final year of her Master’s program at The University of Colorado, Denver. She graduated from the Metropolitan State University of Denver with a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology in 2020.
Bea’s love for psychology and mental health was sparked early, after having her own experiences with counseling as a young teenager. These transformative experiences, her fascination with psychology, and her passion for working with children led Bea to work in the field of Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA). Through working with children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, Beatrice not only honed her skills in understanding and supporting diverse needs but also experienced firsthand how powerful play could be in a therapeutic setting.
Bea recently completed her practicum at The University of Colorado, Denver’s counseling center where she worked with community members and students. Bea utilizes a trauma-informed perspective as well as Person-Centered and Narrative Therapy approaches in her sessions. When working with children, Bea uses a Child-Centered play therapy approach which she hopes fosters a safe and nurturing environment where children can explore, express themselves, and heal through play, empowering them to reach their full potential.
