More about Jamie

  • 10 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC, LPCC, LCPC

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado with 9 years of experience working with a diverse population in both individual and group settings. My experience includes working with depression, anxiety, LGBT related concerns, and trauma. I have also worked with individuals struggling with relationship concerns as well as individuals dealing with emotional distress.

My counseling style is open and affirming. I believe that everyone deserves the right to be heard and given the best chance to make a life worth living. I use a client centered, humanistic approach. I also use skills related to Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I use the client centered approach along with the DBT and CBT skills so that treatment is always tailored to you and what you believe is most important.

It can be difficult and overwhelming to reach out for help, and I am so hopeful that you have made this decision for yourself and your future. If you feel like this would be a good fit for you and your treatment I would be honored to take this journey with you!

I can't wait to hear from you!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Reviewed September 2024

Always really nice and supportive. Strict when needs to be, but always makes sure that it's me who is strict on myself when needed.

Reviewed September 2024

I experienced a traumatic loss and I was struggling to process what had happened and how to control my emotions and move forward. Jamie helped me by first, acknowledging that what I was experiencing was not only common, but valid. Secondly, Jamie helped me to realize that while I can't control many things around me, I can control how I respond and I've now learned techniques to determine whether my response will be appropriate or not. While I still struggle with grief and it will never go away, I'm much better equipped to deal with situations as they arise and I can confidently do things that seemed impossible after the sudden death of my partner.

While Jamie works through Chat only, she makes sure to make herself very visible and available if in the event you need to connect.

Jamie Finkelstein has been wonderful to have on my smartphone. She gets back to you in a timely manner, many times within 30 minutes - 1 hour, and she addresses all of your concerns when she does so.

I also schedule 45 minute weekly meetings with Jamie and those have been extremely helpful. Jamie Finkelstein is a great therapist.
