Maureen Kirchhoff, LCSW, CSW

Maureen Kirchhoff brings 40 years of professional social work experience and holds LCSW and CSW credentials, with licensure across Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Washington, and Wyoming. LCSW stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker and CSW is a social work credential; together they reflect a long history of practice in clinical settings and community care.

She works with adults on a range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, low motivation, self-esteem challenges, and relationship difficulties. Her additional focus areas include abandonment, aging and geriatric issues, body image, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, codependency, commitment struggles, communication problems, disaster-related coping, family of origin issues, first responder concerns, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, and life purpose exploration.

Maureen uses an integrative approach that places the client at the center of care, drawing on client-centered therapy, mindfulness techniques, narrative therapy, psychodynamic perspectives, and systemic methods to tailor treatment to each person’s needs. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in therapeutic work and is able to incorporate faith-based counseling when that aligns with a client’s preferences.

At present she is only working with individual clients who are 21 and older and is not offering couples or family counseling. She recognizes that taking the first step toward therapy can require courage and honors that commitment to starting the work.
