Colleen Makowsky LPC

I'm adaptable. I'm sensitive and will give you space to process, and I'm creative and can offer alternative methods if needed (art therapy, EFT tapping, etc.). I'm good at explaining and offer psychoeducation as well as options/ideas for change.

Like most counselors, my journey began with exploring my own emotions. As a child I expressed myself through art and became a high school art teacher. The therapeutic aspect of art was the most valuable to me which led me to pursue counseling. I've worked as a child counselor for at risk youth, in drug rehabilitation facilities, and in mental health outpatient clinics. I help clients explore their emotions. I provide a therapeutic relationship in which clients can reach their potential with effective coping & resiliency skills. I help clients connect with their values and find meaning. I prefer to be contacted by email. I will respond quickly and schedule a free consultation to discuss your symptoms, how I can help, and find a convenient time to meet.
