I’m a Colorado-based licensed therapist with over 10 years of experience in the mental health field. I earned my Master of Social Work from the University of Missouri–Kansas City and work primarily with adults who are high-functioning on the outside but feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected on the inside. Many of my clients struggle with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, or life transitions, even while appearing capable and put-together to others. My approach is collaborative, thoughtful, and tailored to each individual, with an emphasis on understanding patterns, increasing self-awareness, and creating space for meaningful and lasting change.
"What matters more than what you know is how much you care" is a phrase I took with me from one of my professors in Grad School. I believe that statement embodies who I am and what I bring to the practice - lots of care! With that said, I have been in practice either working in both alternative and traditional high schools, as a school-based therapist in a facility school for students with special needs, and/or in the private setting since 2016. I have worked with a wide range of ages and populations, not just kids/teens but adults too! My experience includes helping those struggling with depression, anxiety, ADHD, divorce/parenting/blended families, grief/loss, sexual abuse and other traumas, autism, intellectual disabilities with co-occurring mental health diagnoses, immigration issues, and even college/career counseling. I really enjoy working with all ages! I was a double major at University of Northern Colorado, studying both School Counseling and Clinical Mental Health. I completed all of the coursework for both tracks and the School Counseling internship, graduating in May 2017.
I am a doctoral-level Licensed Couple and Family therapist in Colorado. I speak English, Mandarin, and Cantonese. I provide therapy for individuals, couples, and families. If you are experiencing any mental health concerns or relational distress, I am here to help you and your loved one(s). I provide affirmative care for LGBTQ+ and ethnic/racial minority clients. I believe that our quality of life depends on the quality of our relationships.
I am a trauma specialist and have spent my entire career dedicated to helping those afflicted by traumatic events. I have been trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy,(DBT) Mindfulness Based Cognitive Behavior Therapy(MB-CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, Interpersonal Psychodynamic Therapy (IPT), Exposure Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP).
I believe that everyone comes with the resources and strength to overcome the challenges of trauma, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Major Depressive Disorder, and all anxiety and depressive disorders.
My approach can vary from direct to humanistic in style. I have a very analytic mind, and a heart to comfort those who need a softer approach. My passion is helping those afflicted with traumatic events and the resulting symptoms.
The population I serve can range in age from 8 years old to 80 years old. I pride myself in being flexible to meet varying developmental stages and needs.
I completed both my undergraduate and graduate school training at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs. At the time the graduate school in psychology was ranked 4th in the nation. I received my master's degree in 2004 with a 4.0 grade average in this very demanding and competitive program.
In our work together, my intention is to hold a space in which you can begin to relate to yourself with a sense of curiosity and gentleness. This includes growing the capacity to be with your internal experience, as it is, without the need to numb or distract in ways that may have become destructive. I believe that the therapeutic relationship itself is integral to the healing that takes place in therapy.
Hello! My name is Megan Hilton, and I am an LPC mental health counselor. I obtained my Master's in Mental Health Counseling at Northwestern University in March of 2023, where I began seeing clients and gaining experience. I specialized in child and adolescent therapy while in school and have continued working with youths between 5 - 18 years old. I attended therapy myself as a child and adolescent and feel my personal experience has allowed me to better understand my younger clients. I have also gained experience working with adults through individual, couples, and family counseling.
A New Leaf Therapy is a group practice located in Pueblo Colorado. We see all ages specializing in helpers.
I have 26 years of experience dealing with individuals, couples, families in therapy. We will work together to develop plans that are unique and right for you.
As a licensed clinical social worker with a master’s degree from The National Catholic School of Social Services, I bring extensive experience from my work in university-based teaching hospitals and ambulatory care clinics. My practice focuses on supporting adults and their caregivers through challenges such as anxiety, depression, complex medical conditions (acute and chronic), medical trauma, loss, grief, and significant life transitions.
I have a specialization in guiding individuals and their caregivers through the cancer journey, encompassing every phase—from diagnosis and treatment to recovery, survivorship, and end-of-life care. I have also worked extensively with patients undergoing stem cell transplants, CAR-T and immunotherapy.
My training and experience also includes helping individuals manage disorders of the brain-gut interaction. Support, education and strategies address the connection between the mind and gastrointestinal health. Recognizing that everyday stressors can greatly affect your well-being, I adapt my clinical approach to suit a variety of life situations, always tailoring care to meet your unique needs.
Whether you’re navigating a major life transition, parenting a teenager, exploring adoption, or simply facing everyday challenges, you don’t have to do it alone. With 15 years of social work experience, I’m here to help you feel understood, supported, and empowered as you move toward the life you want to build.
I specialize in treating families, individuals, and children (ages 5+) who struggle to connect with others, solve problems, or understand different perspectives. This often creates feelings of loneliness, sadness, or hopelessness. I have extensive experience working with those who have Autism and other disabilities. My mission is to help you develop the crucial skills of self-worth and insight. It's important to remember you don't have to navigate the struggles in life alone; I am here to walk alongside you in a supportive, judgment-free space.
Growing up with 4 brothers and 2 sisters lead me to develop a strong and outgoing personality that carries into sessions; I am gently candid to help push people to their potential. My goal is to explore people’s values and encourage them to develop their strengths. I believe laughter is healing so I implement that frequently into sessions.
I know how overwhelming it can feel to keep going when life has tested you in more ways than one. You might be feeling disconnected from yourself & tired of “holding it all together,” yet unsure how to truly heal and move forward. My role is to honor your lived experience and help you reconnect with your body, mind, and soul so you can start living with more ease & clarity to nurture self discovery.
If you struggle with things like anxiety, depression, sleep issues, etc...those are just symptoms that something else is needing attention. It's important to check in with how you are nurturing your body, mind, soul and your personal relationships to see if some shifts might need to be made to help you feel more at ease.
I have my own story just like you, so I must care for myself the same way. I was a sports gal and dancer while growing up and it saved my life and continues to nurture my soul. My degrees in Exercise Science and Mental Health Counseling have allowed me the opportunity to offer a more holistic counseling approach to my clients. Everything is connected. I also received my Level 4 Certification in Energy Healing/Medicine and pursue consistent continuing education for somatic healing approaches and effective tools for nervous system regulation.
I have worked in a variety of settings including foster care, bereavement focused on losing a loved one to murder or suicide, youth residential, nonprofits, coaching a variety of sports, and in the ER as a crisis worker. I’ve also been a Keynote speaker on several occasions sharing about suicide prevention and have been featured on podcasts and other media outlets.
You will usually find me outdoors enjoying nature, dancing as much as possible, enjoying time with my family and friends, getting the courage to try new things, and loving on my fur babies. I would be honored to hear your story and see where your next chapter takes you!
