Blakely Hunze-Austin

LPC, NCC, Team Leader
location-pin Colorado Springs

She enjoys working with high-functioning (“over-controlled”) clients who find themselves presenting “perfectly” on the outside but feeling overwhelmed internally. She takes a compassionate, warm approach to evidenced-based therapy and enjoys working with clients who are anxious about trying therapy. She is passionate about helping clients realize how their coping strategies have been resilient and teaching them skills that will improve their quality of life. She works with teens and adults and is skilled in working with those struggling with addiction, trauma, perfectionism, and sexual dysfunction.

When she is not working, she is exploring new hiking trails and adventuring in the woods. She enjoys quality time with her partner and 2 dogs, drinking coffee, and being outdoors.
