Micaela Aviles MA. NCC. LPC. ACS

Hi, I’m Mickey, and I too am on a journey. Part of my path is helping others navigate theirs. I understand that creating change can feel overwhelming, especially when life feels like it’s spinning out of control. As a counselor, I am here to help you make sense of your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, offering support and guidance as you explore and transform your life.

 

My own journey has taken me from New York to Florida and, eventually, to Colorado, where I’ve found a home and purpose in helping others. I graduated from the University of Colorado Denver with a Bachelor's degree in Psychologyand earned my Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Adams State University. Along the way, I’ve developed a deep passion for travel, discovering new perspectives, and appreciating the beauty of the world we live in. I bring that sense of curiosity and exploration to my work with clients, believing that healing and growth are a lifelong journey.

 

As a counselor, my approach is grounded in psychodynamic therapy, which focuses on uncovering unconscious patterns and early life experiences that shape your current thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Through this lens, we’ll work together to explore how your past influences your present struggles, gaining insight that will empower you to create lasting change. My goal is to help you develop the self-awareness, tools, and coping skills you need to move through life’s challenges with confidence and clarity.

Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, or navigating life transitions, I am here to walk alongside you. Together, we will chart your path to personal growth, explore the deeper layers of your emotional life, and develop new ways of approaching the world.

 

In addition to my work with individuals, I also offer clinical supervision to emerging therapists using a developmental approach. This approach is designed to foster self-reflection, build clinical skills, and support the growth of both the personal and professional aspects of your work as a counselor.
