Ignite Counseling Colorado
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LPC, LCSW, LMFT, CSAT
Therapy can provide essential support when a child or teen (ages 6–17) is facing emotional or behavioral challenges such as sudden mood changes, increased irritability, anger or sadness, withdrawing from family or friends, losing interest in activities they once enjoyed, declining school performance, overwhelming anxiety or panic attacks, difficulty coping with trauma, feelings of hopelessness, or struggles with self-esteem and body image. Early support can help young people build healthy coping skills and regain confidence during difficult seasons of life.
At Ignite Counseling Colorado, we provide specialized child and teen therapy in Denver, Longmont, and through secure online therapy across Colorado. Our dedicated Youth & Family Center in Westminster offers a supportive space designed specifically for children, teens, and their families to heal, grow, and thrive together.

Fort Collins is home to Colorado State University and has a strong outdoor recreation culture anchored by the Rocky Mountain foothills, giving the city a relatively young, health-conscious population with a generally positive attitude toward therapy and mental health support. Demand for therapy is shaped by student needs at CSU, the stresses of a growing tech and craft brewing economy, and the challenges of a housing market that has grown significantly more expensive as the city's population has surged. Common therapy concerns include academic and career stress, relationship and life transition issues, anxiety, and the particular mental health challenges of a rapidly growing community where longtime residents and newcomers are still finding their footing. Fort Collins has a well-developed private therapy sector relative to its size, and CSU's counseling center serves the significant student population.
