More about Jamie

  • 10 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC, LPCC, LCPC

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado with 9 years of experience working with a diverse population in both individual and group settings. My experience includes working with depression, anxiety, LGBT related concerns, and trauma. I have also worked with individuals struggling with relationship concerns as well as individuals dealing with emotional distress.

My counseling style is open and affirming. I believe that everyone deserves the right to be heard and given the best chance to make a life worth living. I use a client centered, humanistic approach. I also use skills related to Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I use the client centered approach along with the DBT and CBT skills so that treatment is always tailored to you and what you believe is most important.

It can be difficult and overwhelming to reach out for help, and I am so hopeful that you have made this decision for yourself and your future. If you feel like this would be a good fit for you and your treatment I would be honored to take this journey with you!

I can't wait to hear from you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Reviewed September 2024

Always really nice and supportive. Strict when needs to be, but always makes sure that it's me who is strict on myself when needed.

Reviewed September 2024

I experienced a traumatic loss and I was struggling to process what had happened and how to control my emotions and move forward. Jamie helped me by first, acknowledging that what I was experiencing was not only common, but valid. Secondly, Jamie helped me to realize that while I can't control many things around me, I can control how I respond and I've now learned techniques to determine whether my response will be appropriate or not. While I still struggle with grief and it will never go away, I'm much better equipped to deal with situations as they arise and I can confidently do things that seemed impossible after the sudden death of my partner.

Jamie Finkelstein has been wonderful to have on my smartphone. She gets back to you in a timely manner, many times within 30 minutes - 1 hour, and she addresses all of your concerns when she does so.

I also schedule 45 minute weekly meetings with Jamie and those have been extremely helpful. Jamie Finkelstein is a great therapist.
