colleen watters, lcsw

I received my undergraduate degree from UW-Madison, Master of Social Work degree from Arizona State University, and am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). Having worked in various capacities in the mental health and behavioral health world for over twenty years, I have witnessed the powerful impact of connectedness. This has been evident in my work with individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, life transitions, and stress management. In all of these contexts, the dynamics of the relationship made all the difference, allowing for development and success to be realized.

I believe moments of feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or alone can happen to anyone, but you don’t have to navigate these challenges by yourself. As your therapist, I will help to support you in cultivating a fulfilling and joyful life. I am dedicated to helping you achieve your goals by leveraging your strengths and fostering personal growth through encouragement and constructive feedback. I will provide a compassionate space where any individual is welcome to explore their concerns comfortably.  

​My approach to therapy varies based on the needs of each client I work with. Most frequently Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy are utilized to provide support and practical feedback to help you resolve current concerns and long-standing patterns. I am able to help you set realistic goals and increase your overall satisfaction in life. I want to help my clients feel they can be open and honest with me to ensure the most therapeutic relationship.

With curiosity and empathy, change and growth can be possible. Every human deserves to be supported through their journey. I want to work together to create the positive changes you desire and embrace your true worth. I would be honored to walk alongside you during this process!
