Welcome to the Hidden Treasures Therapy Blog, where we cover topics related to mental health especially crafted for the woman who may feel unseen, unheard, and a little lost in navigating the tougher parts of life. Here, we hope you’ll find the space to be seen and heard through knowledge and connection with other women in this stage of life, and find your personal path to healing. Hidden Treasures Therapy, LLC is a small practice located in Colorado Springs, CO where we aim to serve the community with a focus on supporting women in motherhood and parenting.
Our providers have experience and expertise in supporting women and families through parenting challenges, pregnancy loss, birth trauma, postpartum depression and anxiety, fertility struggles, and more. Whether you are a brand new mom or trying to conceive, our providers are prepared to walk alongside you in your journey to wholeness. Our passion includes the complicated, diverse, beautiful experience that is motherhood in all its many stages.
Why “Hidden Treasures”?
The name Hidden Treasures came from a simple belief: even in the places where we have experienced pain, there can be something worth discovering.
That doesn’t mean the hard things happened for a reason. It doesn’t mean trauma, loss, anxiety, grief, or difficult seasons are secretly blessings. And it certainly doesn’t mean we need to rush to find the “positive” in painful experiences.
Instead, we believe there are parts of ourselves that can become hidden beneath shame, fear, expectations, survival, and the weight of everything we carry.
Therapy can be a place to uncover those things.
Maybe it is your voice.
Your sense of self.
Your capacity to set boundaries.
Your confidence.
Your ability to trust yourself.
Your hopes for the future.
Or simply the realization that you are still there underneath everything you’ve been carrying.
These are the hidden treasures we hope to help you discover.
How Hidden Treasures Therapy Began
Hidden Treasures Therapy was created out of a desire to offer something different: therapy that feels relational, collaborative, compassionate, and real.
We know that reaching out for therapy isn’t always easy. You may have spent years being the person everyone else depends on. You may be used to holding everything together. You may wonder whether what you’re experiencing is “bad enough” to deserve help.
Maybe you’re functioning but exhausted.
Maybe you love your family deeply, but don’t recognize yourself anymore.
Maybe you look like you have it all together while privately struggling with anxiety, sadness, anger, shame, trauma, or the relentless mental load of motherhood.
We believe there is room for all of that in therapy.
Hidden Treasures Therapy has grown from that belief into a counseling practice serving women throughout Colorado through in-person, telehealth, and nature-based therapy.
As our practice has grown, so has our team. Each therapist brings her own personality, experience, training, and perspective, but we share a commitment to creating a therapeutic relationship where clients feel safe enough to be honest and supported enough to grow.
We especially love working with women experiencing the complexities of pregnancy, postpartum life, motherhood, and the many identity shifts that can come with becoming a mother.
This might look like:
Feeling anxious or overwhelmed during pregnancy or after birth
Postpartum depression or anxiety
A traumatic birth experience
Pregnancy or infant loss
Feeling disconnected from your body or identity
Struggling with mom rage, guilt, or shame
Feeling like you “should” be happier than you are
Navigating changes in relationships after becoming a parent
Carrying the invisible mental load of motherhood
Working through childhood or relational trauma
Feeling stuck in negative self-talk
Wondering, “Who am I now?”
Longing to reconnect with yourself and the life you want
And sometimes, you don’t have a neat explanation.
You just know: “I don’t feel like myself.”
That is enough reason to reach out.
Why A Blog?
Beyond Colorado Springs and our local clients, we dreamed of launching a blog that might reach further. Wherever you may be reading from, we welcome you to follow along for monthly posts that cover topics like What to Look for in a Trauma-Informed Therapist, and a deeper dive into modalities like EMDR and what it can do for your healing journey. In a world that is flooded with information, we wanted to create a dedicated space to curate content that is meaningful and useful to our community.
We wanted a blog that educates, inspires, and informs with compassion, empathy, and understanding of the unique journey each reader is embarking. Mental health matters, and we pride ourselves in becoming a voice of advocacy and education during a time where the internet can seem noisy and overstimulating. Our vision is to create a blog that doesn’t flood you with unnecessary or too-frequent posts that overwhelm; but instead, we want to bring you thoughtful, curated content that is designed to help you better understand what may be happening to you or a loved one and help you navigate next-steps in forging the road towards healing
As a small practice that is especially passionate about serving women navigating unique paths of motherhood, too, we offer education and information about perinatal mental health, postpartum depression and anxiety, and navigating pregnancy loss. You’ll find a variety of resources and topics in the coming months, so please check back to see what’s coming next!
Until next time,
The Hidden Treasures Team
