Hello and Welcome!

My name is Teresa Guthmiller; I am a practicing psychotherapist in downtown Colorado Springs working with all ages and cultures.  You are probably here because you are curious to the idea of therapy and how it may fit into and benefit your life.  Let me tell you a bit about myself to help you in making the important decision of choosing a therapist. 

I love working with people finding their way in life, discovering new potentials, healing past wounds, empowerment, decreasing family conflict, parenting and so much more.  Life is tough; I believe that most (if not all) people can benefit from seeing a caring and competent therapist.

I have worked in various settings such as, residential facilities, group homes, homeless shelters, facilitating parenting classes, and nonprofit agencies providing therapy with for both individuals and families.     

I do not follow just one therapeutic model. Instead, I assess the individual situation and apply interventions that I see fit the individual or family best.  How can just one theory fit everyone?  I have never understood that. People are so different and have such different experiences in life, I believe therapy should be individualized to met your needs.  I do utilize Cognitive-Behavioral, Reality, and Humanistic approaches most often.    

I provide therapy for the following reason:

• Depression
• Anger Management
• Anxiety/Panic
• Sex Abuse Victims
• Premarital Counseling
• Personality Disorders
• Youth/Juvenile Problem Sexual Behaviors
• Relationship Issues
• Family Conflict
• Transitioning in Life
• Teen Struggles
• Parenting Struggles
• Sexual Identity
• Behavioral Issues
• Career
• Self Esteem
• So much more!   

Feel free to email or call me with ANY questions or concerns about the therapeutic process or to assess for yourself if I am a match to fit your needs
