My journey stems from my own story of resilience in the face of hardships. I became a therapist because I have always wanted to help people through some of their darkest hours. Being exposed to some dark hours myself, I know that it is difficult to do it alone. When you have someone to confide in, assist you through the hard times, and just let you know that you are not alone, makes a difference.

My therapeutic approach includes CBT, Person-Centered Therapy, Relational Therapy, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, SFT, EMT, Gestalt, and just speaking like a human being. I offer a compassionate, trauma-informed space where you can feel safe, seen, and supported. My approach is relational and personalized—we'll explore your story together, build coping tools, and move toward healing with curiosity, courage, and care.

Therapy with me is real, down-to-earth, and never boring. I mix honesty, humor, and heart to make the process comfortable. I help adults manage emotions, build confidence, and tackle life's challenges with tools that work. Think of it as a safe space to be yourself, grow, and maybe laugh along the way.

Greetings, I'm Debbie Palmer Thomas, a clinical social worker from Colorado. My approach to counseling is both welcoming and engaging. I uphold the values of respect, understanding, and kindness in every interaction. I firmly believe that everyone possesses inherent strengths, and with a sprinkle of hope, resilience is within reach for all. When you're prepared to make that leap, know that I stand by your side, ready to uplift and guide you.

I’m a psychiatric nurse practitioner committed to compassionate, thoughtful, and evidence-based mental health care. With more than a decade of experience in psychiatry, emergency medicine, trauma, and clinical leadership, I bring a broad skill set to my work, but human connection remains at the center of my approach.

I believe every person deserves to feel heard and supported. I help individuals navigate anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, personality disorders, and other mental health challenges with clarity and compassion. I take time to understand your story, collaborate on your goals, and create a treatment plan that fits your life.

My diverse background, from trauma care to outpatient psychiatry and clinical education, has strengthened my commitment to high-quality, collaborative care for patients of all ages.

At Granted Mental Health Services, my mission is to provide accessible, patient-centered care that honors your experiences and supports your journey toward a healthier, more balanced life. I’m grateful for the opportunity to walk alongside you.

Welcome to my profile page - I'm so glad you are here!

Whether you are coming to therapy for the first time or have years of experience working with a mental health practitioner, I commend you for taking a step towards positive change.

Life can present even the strongest people with challenging obstacles. Perhaps you want to improve your relationships, quiet your inner critic, let go of perfectionism, live a more purposeful life, or overcome your anxiety? I'm here to help.

Meaningful change requires courage and curiosity. With genuine kindness, compassion (and sometimes a little humor), I can help you achieve the goals you set for yourself.

Prior to becoming a psychotherapist, I worked in the software and retail manufacturing industries. I believe it was my listening and problem-solving skills and my sincere interest in people's unique life stories that eventually lead me to this role. You can learn more about me and my approach on my website at www.jeanettekuhns.com.

Life transitions can be difficult and it is my pleasure to assist whether you are changing careers, expanding or downsizing in family roles or just trying to decide what's next. I am an ADHD advocate and enjoy helping clients make sense of the chaotic mind. I also love, love and work with couples experiencing relationship issues.

Hi there—I'm Dr. Stacee Reicherzer (she/her), a transgender therapist specializing in trauma, anxiety, OCD, and identity development for LGBTQ+ adults and the people who love us.

Many of my clients are navigating painful histories that show up as intrusive thoughts, panic, compulsive behaviors, or emotional numbness. Some are struggling with obsessive fears and mental rituals that make daily life feel exhausting. Whether you're dealing with trauma-based anxiety, obsessive-compulsive cycles, or a mix of both, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to navigate this alone.

My approach is warm, affirming, and trauma-informed. I integrate EMDR with ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention) and other evidence-based strategies to support clients dealing with OCD, complex PTSD, and chronic shame. Sessions are collaborative and attuned—you’ll never feel rushed or reduced to a diagnosis.

I specialize in working with queer and trans adults, survivors of complex trauma (including medical trauma), and individuals navigating anxiety tied to identity, safety, and belonging. My work with OCD includes contamination fears, intrusive harm or sexual thoughts, religious scrupulosity, and perfectionism—often themes deeply rooted in early experiences of fear or control.

I hold a PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision, am EMDR-Certified, and have served the LGBTQ+ community for over two decades. I'm licensed in both Texas and Illinois and offer virtual sessions to clients across both states. If you're ready for real healing—not just coping—I’d be honored to support your journey.
