I received my Masters of Science in Applied Family & Child Studies from Northern Illinois University in 2007, and finished up coursework at Edgewood College in Wisconsin. I’m a wife, mother of three children, who refuse to stay small, and a pup named Monty. In my free time I enjoy being outside hiking and camping, researching yoga class times (they sometimes even make it on my calendar!), and sewing. Professionally, I spent many years as a therapist in an intensive in-home family therapy program in Wisconsin. I’ve also run therapy groups for elementary and middle school students, and support groups for parents. I have experience in divorce and life transitions, depression, anxiety, and trauma, to name a few. I believe that successful therapy is in the relationship, and through that relationship I strive to help you find and illuminate your strengths. Those strengths are what got you to where you are today and they will help guide you into the future. I believe that we all have a light inside of us, and sometimes we just need a little support to let it shine. I am currently Licensed in Colorado, Wisconsin, and Texas. https://www.instillinglight.com/cordelia daily 0.75 2025-03-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b67696c8ab72252d5d44e5f/1632961684795-E3X3C3F0SNW2ZC93ERZJ/lights2.jpg Cordelia https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b67696c8ab72252d5d44e5f/f013b9bf-3f8c-4565-aaf4-644e3407041e/Cordelia+Tafoya.jpg Cordelia - Cordelia Miller, MA, MFTC Hello! My name is Cordelia Miller and I am a Marriage and Family Therapist Candidate who received my Master of Art in Marriage and Family Therapy at Regis University. I am a proud dog mom to the cutest girl, Scout, and enjoy going for walks, spending quality time, and bingeing my favorite TV shows with both her and my partner. You are probably reading this profile because you are looking to begin a journey towards healing, health, personal or relational growth, or, perhaps even, all four. I am here to walk alongside you in YOUR journey, a journey I know is unique, is specific to your circumstances and background, and has incredible potential not only to lead you towards a better life, but a life that is both fulfilling and enriching. At the end of the day, I believe that people are the experts of their own lives and relationships. My primary goal for therapy, then, is to help you to help yourself. This said, I am committed to working with you to create a safe, non-judging, and dedicated space in which we can process and work through whatever it is that is bringing you to treatment together. I also want to help you to deconstruct the negative or unpreferred stories that you hear or tell yourself about yourself and/or your relationships, and to tap into resiliencies that you might not yet know exist - or that have been overshadowed by difficult experiences, emotions, behaviors, or thoughts. I, additionally, will strive to help you to learn about yourself, your loved ones, and your ways of relating to one another. Things can change, peace can be achieved, and life can be good - and I would be honored to be a part of you accomplishing happiness. My pronouns are she/her/hers. I identify as a cisgender, Hispanic woman and celebrate diversity of all kinds. I am also EMDR trained and approach treatment from a trauma-informed lens. https://www.instillinglight.com/who-we-are daily 0.75 2026-04-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b67696c8ab72252d5d44e5f/1699126740712-HPL4DIGZ635RM4PWWBB3/image-asset.jpeg Who We Are https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b67696c8ab72252d5d44e5f/49341a75-c016-4fc8-9f53-fcafda5e76a5/Linda-Stilling.jpg Who We Are https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b67696c8ab72252d5d44e5f/4c84692c-caa5-4fea-bce0-18f74533f7b5/cordelia+tafoya.jpg Who We Are https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b67696c8ab72252d5d44e5f/9ff5d933-d102-4faa-880a-b69ae788324b/Cathy+Rouse.jpg Who We Are -

Amy Monreal, MA LMFT I am Amy Monreal a Licesnsed Marriage and Family Therapist, and a graduate of Regis University’s Marriage and Family Therapy program. My partner, two cats, dog and hedgehog keep me grounded, and I enjoy an adventure in nature any opportunity I have. I am a first generation born in the United States and as a therapist, I strive to meet you in your understanding of your different identities and values that make you who you are. I would work alongside you to move towards the change and healing you desire for yourself. Life can be incredibly difficult and comes with seasons of darkness and moments of joy and peace. My approach keeps you, the client, at the center in order to bring new understanding and patterns into your life. I also focus on connecting and deepening your relationships whether you come in as an individual, with your partner, or as a family. I believe that you are capable of and deserving of healing.

Are you struggling to find the energy to engage in your favorite activities? Is your relationship with yourself or others challenging? Do you want to make a change…and just don’t know where to start? As a therapist, I strive to create a space for you to explore your life with a healing and growth mindset. We all benefit from an increased understanding of ourselves and how we experience our relationships. I treat the therapist-client relationship as an opportunity to collaborate on your journey toward a more fulfilling life. I welcome the opportunity to work with individuals, couples, and families. I am especially passionate about walking alongside couples as they navigate relationship challenges. I have lived in Colorado for 10 years after escaping the east coast. Music, yoga, and meditation are important elements of my life. My four kids, two cats, and dog always keep my life interesting. Let’s begin exploring the path to the best version of yourself and your life! https://www.instillinglight.com/clara daily 0.75 2026-04-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b67696c8ab72252d5d44e5f/1632961684795-E3X3C3F0SNW2ZC93ERZJ/lights2.jpg Clara https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b67696c8ab72252d5d44e5f/db865d17-3d53-47c9-8084-712005d44097/Clara+Larsen.jpg Clara - Clara Larsen As technology continues to shape the way we connect, relationships—whether between partners, families, or within ourselves—often need extra support to navigate these changes. As a goal-oriented couples, family, and individual counselor, I focus on helping clients create clear, meaningful objectives that lead to tangible growth and lasting change. My approach emphasizes collaborative goal-setting, working closely with couples, families, children, and individuals—including new moms and those navigating ADHD—to identify strengths, clarify challenges, and define realistic goals. Through structured yet flexible sessions, I support clients in strengthening communication, managing emotions, resolving conflict constructively, and deepening emotional connection. I am trained in Brainspotting, a trauma-informed modality that helps access and process deeper emotional experiences, and I incorporate Geek Therapy to creatively engage clients by integrating their interests, fandoms, and technology into the therapeutic process—especially helpful for children, teens, and neurodivergent individuals. By empowering clients with practical tools, insight, and collaborative support, my goal is to foster resilience, improve relationship satisfaction, and promote meaningful, sustainable change across all stages of life. I am a mother of two constantly busy children who follow in the footsteps of their hobby-enthusiast father. As a family, we participate in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. I am a hobbyist photographer. I enjoy finding beauty in the world around me as much as I enjoy finding it in my clients. https://www.instillinglight.com/office daily 0.75 2023-11-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b67696c8ab72252d5d44e5f/1699124152954-3FEG28HWRF0B3FG5EIM9/image-asset.jpeg Offices https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b67696c8ab72252d5d44e5f/e900e289-07d7-4054-9285-b0164957057e/Instilling+light+counseling.jpg Offices https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b67696c8ab72252d5d44e5f/a4102c6f-df8f-4465-8c2d-1f33d9917bdf/family+therapy+Westminster+Colorado.jpg Offices https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b67696c8ab72252d5d44e5f/a6d7c63c-ef29-4672-8f93-2956d802f56c/instilling+light.jpg Offices https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b67696c8ab72252d5d44e5f/a9730491-7795-4717-a974-a2e1d89fbd2f/family+counseling+near+me.jpg Offices https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b67696c8ab72252d5d44e5f/1699111193414-9E2CE2CKD5VH490PFDQF/instilling+light+pllc.jpg Offices https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b67696c8ab72252d5d44e5f/21b5adde-373a-418a-afce-5ee18e63b61a/counseling+in+Westminster+CO.jpg Offices https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b67696c8ab72252d5d44e5f/8c1bfcc9-ea54-451c-bd4a-5b4c4b06c217/family+therapy+Westminster+Colorado.jpg Offices https://www.instillinglight.com/traumabasedtreatments daily 0.75 2023-11-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b67696c8ab72252d5d44e5f/1699128356673-OW69Y90XQEQR4DO9RXTT/image-asset.jpeg Trauma-Based Treatments https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b67696c8ab72252d5d44e5f/1699114576006-ZSTY2BZM55NWROKDIUWO/image-asset.jpeg Trauma-Based Treatments - Brainspotting & emdr https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b67696c8ab72252d5d44e5f/7cd6e55d-0ffe-4964-926b-4172f478f7ae/NRL_4131-Edit-21.jpg Trauma-Based Treatments - Brainspotting Brainspotting helps find the origins of dissociation, bodily and emotional pain, and trauma. It was first discovered in 2003 while working toward advancements in eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. David Grand, Ph.D., noted that a client was becoming fixated on a specific spot, allowing the patient to go deeper than in past sessions. With brainspotting, one of the most substantial benefits is that there is no need to go through past trauma several times before it can be released from the body. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b67696c8ab72252d5d44e5f/8439ef75-db14-4d13-8d6f-4bc13f4ee536/NRL_4080-11.jpg Trauma-Based Treatments - EMDR Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy is a structured therapy that encourages the client to briefly focus on a trauma memory while simultaneously experiencing bilateral stimulation, which is associated with a reduction in the vividness and emotion associated with the trauma memories. In EMDR, bilateral stimulation may include eye movement, vibrating hand buzzers, or other alternatives. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b67696c8ab72252d5d44e5f/27d4bf9c-5a5a-41d7-9cc6-3763a985b4de/NRL_4269-Edit-39.jpg Trauma-Based Treatments - flexible approaches Though both EMDR and Brainspotting are typically used and were developed as treatments for trauma, they can also be helpful in treating other challenges, including anxiety, depression, attachment issues, and more. https://www.instillinglight.com/prenatal-postpartum-therapy daily 0.75 2026-04-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b67696c8ab72252d5d44e5f/88c5adf0-8ed4-44e4-aff7-c69367d3b1f1/Instilling+Light+Prenatal+and+Postpartum+Therapy+Westminster+CO.png Prenatal & Postpartum Therapy - Welcome Mama. relief is here.

It can be vulnerable and scary, and at times feel impossible to get through to those we love. During my experience as a kindergarten teacher and later on as a nanny for former students, I cultivated an understanding of family dynamics and the pivotal role they play in individual well-being. This led me to pursue a degree in Marriage and Family Therapy because I wanted to help foster authentic relationships that have such a significant effect on the individual in day-to-day life. Whatever age we are, relationships have a huge impact on how we see ourselves, and how we react to the uncertainties life throws at us. I use an experiential approach integrated with other therapeutic domains, acting as a catalyst to help foster deep self-discovery, cultivate meaningful connections, and empower everyone in the room to embrace their authentic selves, facilitating desired transformations. When I’m not in the therapy room, I’m camping in the mountains with my dog, training for a race, or cuddling with my cat while drinking copious amounts of tea and reading a good book (or more often than not, indulging in a binge-worthy show). I love trying new recipes, watching my houseplants grow, and traveling as much as I can. I can’t wait to learn about your life, passions, and experiences. https://www.instillinglight.com/couples-counseling daily 0.75 2024-07-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b67696c8ab72252d5d44e5f/65c327fa-25b0-4fc7-a15d-6eecef761b49/Couples+Counseling+Instilling+Light+PLLC+Westminster+Denver+Marriage+Counseling.png Couples Counseling - DO YOU FEEL LIKE YOU’RE AT YOUR BREAKING POINT IN YOUR RELATIONSHIP?

My name is Lucas Staples and I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate. I graduated from the University of Denver in 2023 with a Masters of Arts in Counseling Psychology. I am currently working towards licensure, so I will be collaborating with my supervisor to ensure that you receive the best care possible. I see individual clients of all ages, but I particularly enjoy working with children and teenagers. In my free time I enjoy thrifting, adding to my various collections, and spending time with my partner and our cat. I am originally from Santa Clara, California, but I have spent most of my adult life in Oregon and Colorado. I decided to become a therapist because I want to make a difference in the lives of LGBTQ+ individuals and provide them with a safe, affirming space. I primarily utilize client-centered therapy and child-led play therapy, but I also incorporate elements of cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and dialectical behavioral therapy into my work. I believe that you are the expert of your own experience, and that my job is to guide you and help you gain deeper insights into yourself, not tell you what to do. However, I can also take a more structured, straightforward approach when needed, and I enjoy challenging my clients to be the best versions of themselves. I use he/him/his pronouns and identify as a white, able-bodied, transgender man. I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, neurodivergence, and LGBTQ+ issues. https://www.instillinglight.com/link-to-sp daily 0.75 2025-02-10 https://www.instillinglight.com/jamie daily 0.75 2025-08-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b67696c8ab72252d5d44e5f/1632961684795-E3X3C3F0SNW2ZC93ERZJ/lights2.jpg Jamie https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b67696c8ab72252d5d44e5f/d45ee5ca-9b46-4bfc-912e-d64e1db705c0/Jamie+D.jpeg Jamie - Jamie Dinneen, LPC My name is Jamie Dinneen and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Colorado. I received my Master's degree from the University of Denver in 2023. I am also trained in EMDR and received my training through EMDR Center of the Rockies. My approach to helping clients involves helping them understand the function of their thoughts and feelings, honoring these thoughts and feelings, and moving forward with a better awareness of themselves. I use an integrative approach in session that is mainly based in CBT and EMDR. I believe clients are the experts in their own lives and I am excited to help facilitate you through your journey. My Specialities include adult individuals who have experienced trauma, grief, life transitions, anxiety, and depression. Outside of the therapeutic space, I enjoy knitting, baking, ice skating, and generally enjoying the beautiful state we live in! I am excited to meet you on your therapeutic journey. If you feel that we would be a good fit, please feel free to reach out! https://www.instillinglight.com/emilie daily 0.75 2026-04-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b67696c8ab72252d5d44e5f/1632961684795-E3X3C3F0SNW2ZC93ERZJ/lights2.jpg Emilie https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b67696c8ab72252d5d44e5f/79df2d90-487a-442b-92e6-fbc190ef699a/Emilie+Allen.JPG Emilie - Emilie Allen, MFT intern, from Regis University When life starts to feel overwhelming, I strive to create a space of comfort and healing, where my clients feel seen and heard. Sometimes in the busyness of our daily lives, it can be hard to slow down and reflect on what is bringing us down. Many of us find ourselves stuck in patterns that do not serve us, wanting something better but not knowing where to begin. Through a relational therapeutic approach centered on emotional experiences and beliefs, I help couples, individuals, and families get in touch with themselves and connect more with one another. I aspire to help clients uncover deep compassion for themselves and each other, and to step into the best, most aligned versions of themselves. I believe that gaining understanding, experiencing ourselves and each other differently, and adopting more supportive, strengths-based beliefs can create a chain reaction, improving our relationships and our lives more and more each day. Whether you are facing relationship challenges, navigating a life transition, or struggling with mental health, I am here to help you get unstuck and overcome whatever mountain you are facing. Speaking of which, when I am not wearing my therapist hat, I am often in the mountains myself, whether hiking, camping, paddleboarding, or skiing! I am happiest in nature with the people I love, so I seek out those experiences as much as I can. I also enjoy yoga, cooking, silly reality TV shows, hanging with dogs (I hope to get my own pup soon!), visiting my family, and traveling whenever I get the chance. I would be honored to work with you and look forward to seeing you soon! https://www.instillinglight.com/our-team daily 0.75 2025-07-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b67696c8ab72252d5d44e5f/0fdb0a37-773f-4737-af85-141514f436f6/NRL_4167-Edit-Edit-25.jpg Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b67696c8ab72252d5d44e5f/762cef81-b4d5-4b89-a14b-8de965922bac/Jamie+D.jpg Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b67696c8ab72252d5d44e5f/0e001e10-8275-40b8-a0a4-ec2c05e9872a/NRL_4123-Edit-19.jpg Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b67696c8ab72252d5d44e5f/4100fe65-3632-4802-826e-e8fb2fc46088/Lucas+Staples+Licensed++Counselor.png Our Team - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
