Kathleen is the only reason I'm able to move through the last few weeks with more joy and less anger/sadness (among many other issues). Her ability to guide me through some unpleasant confrentations has saved my brain and heart much stress and anxiety. 10/10, highly recommend~ especially with parenting support and tips.

More about Kathleen

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

Greetings! I am Kathleen (Kathi) Sutton, a Transpersonal Psychotherapist and Registered Art Therapist licensed in Colorado with 9 years of experience. Before that, I was a parenting coach and educator for many years. I have worked with clients from ages three to ninety three: individuals, families and groups, in residential treatment centers, outpatient group practice, correctional facilities, assisted living and a community-based art therapy collective.

I am especially passionate about working with women seeking empowerment, wanting to build self esteem, recovering from abusive relationships and those seeking direction, encouragement and guidance in navigating big life changes. Navigating the process of aging is also of special interest to me.

I have a strengths-based approach within the context of an authentic relationship, that being the essential foundation for success with any healing modality. I want to get to know you and I want you to feel heard and respected! I strive to help you uncover and validate your inherent health and goodness, with sensitivity to individual needs and interests. I offer a mindfulness approach as I we employ trauma-informed talk therapy, somatosensory therapy, and expressive arts therapies, facilitating insight, expression of feelings, and release of trauma stored in the body and nervous system, thereby building emotional resilience. I can provide psychoeducation, when appropriate, to help you develop practices that can invite self-acceptance as well as support improved self-regulation and self care.

Sometimes even the act of reaching out for help can take you far along a healing path. I would be honored to walk that path with you, and as I relate to the very best in you, I hope to help you to know that best self as well.

About online counseling

Affordable.

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.

The support is ongoing with Kathi even though I have made much improvement. I feel heard, understood, and comfortable that I can reach out anytime if I need help. I am so grateful for this service and to have found Kathi!

Reviewed August 2022

I was skeptical about online therapy in general before I tried BETTERHELP, but I’m a believer now. Kathi was the perfect match for me. I was lucky enough to have someone available who fit all my needs, and the matching process did a wonderful job. Kathi is kind, sensitive, supportive and very intuitive. She seems to hone in on what I’m really saying and is tremendously helpful in helping me figure out what’s important, what I want, and what I need in order to get there. If you’re looking for someone to tell you what to do or to be hard on you in some way, this is not the right therapist for you. Kathi is also an art therapist, something I really love and appreciate about her. She sees things in a creative way, and helps me to as well. I leave every session feeling better about myself, not because she tells me I am better, but because with her help I’ve realised it myself. I look forward to a long and prosperous relationship with her, and to the work we will do together.
