Who I Am

My name is Megan Bettenberg and I’m a Colorado native and a Licensed Professional Counselor with over five years of experience supporting individuals across private practice, community mental health, residential programs, and school settings. These diverse experiences have shaped my belief that every person carries strengths, resilience, and the capacity for meaningful, lasting change.

My Therapeutic Style

Clients often describe me as grounded, compassionate, and practical. I balance warmth with directness—you’ll feel supported, but also gently challenged when it’s helpful.
My approach is person‑centered, trauma‑informed, and rooted in collaboration, transparency, empowerment, and gender‑ and identity‑affirming care. Creating a space where LGBTQ+ clients feel safe, respected, and fully seen is a core value in my work. I also strive to support individuals from other marginalized and underrepresented communities—including people of color, neurodivergent adults, survivors of trauma, and those impacted by systemic inequities. My goal is to offer a therapeutic space where anyone who has felt overlooked, misunderstood, or pressured to “fit in” can show up authentically and receive care that honors their lived experience.

Who I Work With

I work with adults navigating life transitions, identity shifts, and the pressure to “figure it all out.” Many of my clients are navigating life transitions, understanding relational patterns and learning emotion regulation. I also enjoy working with LGBTQ+ individuals seeking a space where they feel affirmed, understood, and supported. Common concerns I help people work through include stress, anxiety, depression, low motivation, relationship challenges, and self‑esteem struggles. Together, we explore unhelpful thought patterns, build emotional regulation skills, and create sustainable change that aligns with your values and goals.
