About Your Therapist
Schedule Your Free Consultation
Hi, I'm Michelle Karamooz
I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor who believes that every person carries within them the capacity to heal, grow, and thrive. My work is grounded in the belief that healing happens through authentic connection — with yourself, with others, and with a therapist who truly sees you.
I provide a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can show up exactly as you are — no masks, no pretending. Whether you're navigating anxiety, a major life transition, questions about your identity, or simply wanting to grow into your best self, I'm here to walk alongside you.
I take a holistic, client-centered approach to therapy, meaning I tailor our work together to your unique needs, strengths, and goals. As a telehealth-only practice, I'm proud to bring accessible, high-quality mental health care directly to you — wherever you are in Colorado.
