Are you looking for an individual or a marriage therapist? At Plankeel Counseling, we know with the pandemic that this has been difficult to find a therapist available to see.  We hired Beth Kirk-Small, LMFT to join our team and she has immediate availability on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays to see clients with Aetna, Cigna, or United Healthcare insurance, or clients wishing to cash or private pay.  You can call her, email her, or schedule an intake at our website: www.plankeelcounseling.com

Here is her clinical biography:

Well into middle age, I went back to school at Regis University for a master’s degree. In 2016, I became a licensed marriage and family therapist. Along the way, I worked at a local psychiatric hospital named Peak View, providing therapy to teens and support to their families. It was here that I learned the importance of understanding the context of a person’s life before jumping in with an offer to help – the key importance of listening to every person’s story.

Then, for six years, I worked at Safe Passage, the children’s advocacy center in Colorado Springs. This is a safe place where kids and teens go after they’ve disclosed sexual and/or physical abuse and law enforcement has begun an investigation. I was a family support advocate and provided resources and services to help parents. I also was a forensic interviewer and listened to children talk about their abuse and served as a professional witness in court. I encourage you, when your voice is finally heard, healing can begin.

In March of 2021, I joined Plankeel Counseling, LLC as an independent contractor to provide therapy to teens, adults, and couples in the private practice setting. Let me help you turn the page and create a new narrative that you choose for yourself that works for your healing and thriving in life. I look forward to your call.

I specialize in working with clients making big life transitions and who are going through the grief process.  Upon request, I have a therapy dog named Timber who would be happy to join you in session.
