Kristen Lewis, LCSW, CSW

Kristen Lewis is a licensed social worker with nine years of clinical experience who works with adults across a range of life stages and concerns. Based in Colorado, she brings a practical, approachable style to sessions and has a strong history of supporting members of the military community as well as civilians. Kristen holds LCSW and CSW credentials - LCSW denotes a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and CSW indicates a clinical social work credential - and she draws on those qualifications to support clients through a variety of challenges.

Her clinical focus includes stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, self-esteem difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, sleep problems, anger, career concerns, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes. She also works with family problems, attachment difficulties, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, codependency, communication problems, dissociation, separation and divorce, isolation and loneliness, and issues common to first responders and men. Kristen integrates evidence-based methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), trauma-focused approaches, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, narrative and solution-focused techniques, attachment-based and client-centered work, and existential therapy to tailor treatment to each person’s needs.

Kristen values collaborative, goal-oriented work that pairs thoughtful conversation with practical action. She is direct yet warm, and she emphasizes the importance of a dependable therapeutic relationship as a foundation for exploration and growth. Kristen frames therapy as a partnership on a sometimes difficult and lonely path toward greater mental well-being and life satisfaction, and she aims to help people identify and move past barriers that interfere with daily functioning and fulfillment.
