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.

Child or Adolescent Issues
Dr. Maria Canyon
Psychologist, PsyD, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
I have postdoctoral specialty training in Pediatric Psychology from Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. I am known for my ability to quickly build rapport with teenagers and their caregivers. I am straightforward in my approach and believe that therapy, although hard work, can also be lighthearted and even fun at times. I am interested in understanding teens as their whole individual selves, and not just their presenting concerns. I work to develop a safe confidential space for teens to explore their complex worlds and emotional lives, and collaborate with caregivers when needed. I am experienced working with gifted, neurodiverse, and highly sensitive teenagers.

Greta Carlson, Psy.D., ABPP
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
I am board certified in clinical child and adolescent psychology and provide psychotherapy through telehealth to children and adolescents ages 9 and up. I treat a range of concerns for children and teens, including childhood anxiety, specific fears (phobias), OCD, depression, and state of life concerns such as a transition to middle school, relationship challenges, and working through grief and loss of important people in a child's life. I can also work with you directly on problem-solving situations that arise in parenting, how to help your kids regulate big emotions, and explore patterns that may arise in your parenting style.

Child or Adolescent Issues
Matthew Jones
Licensed Professional Counselor, MSCC, LPC
Children and adolescent work requires being able to see them as an equal and giving them a voice and some method of control over themselves. They are still developing and far to often have adult ideas and understanding placed on them without them having the skills. I believe in meeting them where they are at.

Child or Adolescent Issues
Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I specialize in working with children and teens whose lives have been shaped by medical challenges, trauma, or neurodivergence. This may include serious or chronic illness, complex diagnoses, hospitalizations, accidents, frightening events, sexual abuse, or sensory and regulation differences that make school, friendships, or family life harder to navigate. Some young people I see are carrying several of these layers. Others are coping with one significant experience, such as PTSD after a specific event or the emotional impact of a new diagnosis.
Many of the children and teens I work with are carrying more than anyone realizes. On the outside, they may look like the good kid, the brave patient, or the one who holds everything together. Inside, they can feel scared, angry, overwhelmed, numb, or very alone.
My work is not general child therapy. I focus on how stress, trauma, medical experiences, and neurodivergence live in a young person’s body, emotions, and relationships. I also work closely with parents so you feel less isolated and more supported in responding to what your child is going through.
