Faith Collins, Counseling Intern

Hi! My name is Faith Collins, and I am currently a graduate student in Naropa's Nature-Based Transpersonal Clinical Mental Health Counseling program. I decided to pursue my masters after spending half a decade in the mental health field. In that time, I worked as a Behavioral Specialist (Recovery Coach) and Group Facilitator at an adult inpatient residential facility for eating disorders, as well as a field instructor in Wilderness Therapy with adolescents.

​

This work inspired me to help individuals reclaim their joy, either again or for the first time. I believe you are the expert in your own life, and I am here to help guide you into the life you want to live. I work with a wide range of challenges such as trauma, grief, depression, and relationships with self and others. I believe in tailoring therapy to the individual and their unique needs, wants, and styles. Some approaches I find impactful are Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) (values work), Solution-Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) (relational work), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) (coping skills), Motivational Interviewing, and Nature-Based Therapy.

 

I view therapy as a relational space to explore what's working, what isn't, and to build tools for navigating life with greater ease. My style is direct, warm, and compassionate. The choice of a counselor is deeply personal, and I would be honored to embark on this journey with you.
