Amy Moreno
Amy Moreno MA LPC
Certified in EMDR
Specialized training in IFS-informed-EMDR
Specializes in working with women, the queer community, and other clinicians
Owner of Rebuilding Together Counseling
Once upon a time, I was a hot mess of a human.
I hit rock bottom at the age of 41; after a brutal divorce and then a PTSD diagnosis from unresolved childhood trauma and grief. I did not know who I was outside of my roles as a mother and a wife. I quite literally rebuilt myself with the help of some amazing therapists and sheer grit and determination.
I have been where you are.
I get it.
It is my mission in life, as a human being and now as a counselor, to be as open, honest, and real as I possibly can.
To show up as authentically ME.
Every. Single. Day.
I strive to help women break down all of the walls that hold us back; self-imposed as well as societal. I want to help you learn to scream from the hilltop, “I want to be seen, I deserve to be seen! I want to be loved, I deserve to be loved!”
And so on and so forth!
Let me be your guide and mentor and help you recover your power. I am here to help you heal just as I did.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado helping women and female-bodied, non-binary individuals do the hard work through tele-therapy.
I specialize in trauma, empowerment, self-esteem, and grief work with women and therapists. I love working with other therapists! I am also a Certified EMDR Therapist. I have training in Flash technique as well. I treat trauma through various interwoven theories, like IFS and EMDR, and use techniques to guide you towards a place of internal peace and power. I am working on my certification in IFS-informed-EMDR.
I maintain a private practice in Colorado and received my Masters degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Regis University in 2021. Though I have only been in private practice for a few years, I have a LIFETIME of experience with trauma and self-love. Come meet me - I am really fucking good at what I do!
On a more personal note:
I am learning to live with menopause and all of the ‘joys’ associated with that. Ask me about HRT!!
I went back to school as a single mom at the age of 43 and it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. One of my children struggles with an eating disorder that has turned our lives upside down and yet, somehow we manage. I married the love of my life at age 46 and have never been so happy in my life as I am right now.
I love website design, interior design, and refinishing furniture - I have a great eye for anything visual. I love to take care of my 102 plants (ok, sometimes I definitely do not love to take care of them!).
And I really truly love my job.
I live in Lakewood with my husband and our blended family of three children (13, 15, & 17) and four dogs (all needy rescues).
I believe in vulnerability, rawness, open mindedness, truth, honesty, and swearing
A LOT.

Kara Facundo
Kara Facundo MA LPC
Trained in EMDR
Betrayal Trauma Certified
Gottman Level 3 Trained
IFS-informed-EMDR trained
Specializes in working with individuals and couples
I know about betrayal and addiction.
The trauma I experienced as a result of a divorce left me raising 3 children alone.
I know about the fear of change and the feeling of defeat.
I knew I had to step up to the plate and empower myself to provide for us financially; and in every other way. I carried the mental and the physical load, when I was breaking too.
I know about grit.
I put myself through a masters degree in Clinical Mental Health while working full time at a job I dreaded. I raised three teenagers whose lives had been completely turned upside down.
I know about uncertainty.
One of my children was diagnosed with Crohn's disease which brought debilitating anxiety and depression for her at a young age.
Another developed an eating disorder to cope with the stress.
I know about anger. I know about loss. I know about messy.
This journey challenged my place in the world. I had to decide who I could, and could not trust; I barely trusted myself. It challenged my sense of security, my belief in others, and my beliefs around spirituality.
Learning about PTSD, Betrayal Trauma, and EMDR, helped me to better understand myself and deal with the aftermath of decisions that were out of my control.
I'm wiser, harder, and softer because of it. I’ve released the burden of judgement of how I think I ‘should be’. I have accepted the reality of so much that was out of my control, and white knuckle grasped the things that were.
I’m passionate about helping men and women heal through intention, discipline, and empowerment. I want you to rise up, reinvent, evolve, and step into your most authentic way of being.
WE WILL MAKE IT HAPPEN!
I’m proof that it can be done.
I believe in evidence based interventions. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, a Certified Betrayal Trauma Recovery Therapist trained in EMDR, and Gottman Method Couples Therapist level III, I know what it takes and how to get there.
Kara works with women, men, and couples.
Kara offers a rate of $165 for individuals and $225 for couples. She offers sliding scale options. Kara is in network with most major insurance companies.
Kara works most weekdays including Friday. She has evening availability as well.

Rebecca Wener
Rebecca Wener MA LPCC
Trained in EMDR
Trained in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
Trained in Narrative Therapy
Bilingual in Spanish
Specializes in working with the queer community, immigrants, ecological grief, and sexual assault survivors.
I love working with people in moments of self-doubt and uncertainty, crisis and trauma. I love helping them to rebuild trust in their bodies and themselves. I am an LPC Candidate, which means I'm still working towards my full license, but I have several decades of life experience that I bring to my work with clients.
Clinically, I'm trained in EMDR, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, with additional experience in Narrative Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Internal Family Systems. We'll work as a team in therapy to decide on what tools you need to get to where you want to go.
As for myself, I've spent so much time being uncertain about who I am, and what my place in the world should be.
I have pivoted several times in my career. I have a Masters of Public Health as well as my Masters of Art in International Disaster Psychology.
Currently, I'm working half-time in Disaster Behavioral Health Response and half time as a clinician, supporting people on several different levels, to navigate through moments of precarity, trauma and confusion in their own lives.
I've never felt more fulfilled.
My career isn't the only area where I haven't taken a straight line path. I started dating women in my mid-thirties, so I know what it is to wrestle with questions about your sexuality, and how good it feels when you start to be at peace with the answers.
I spent most of my life living on the East Coast, with some short stints in other countries, before finally moving out to Colorado. I know what it feels like to experience culture shock!
While I'm not an immigrant myself, I particularly love working with immigrants who may be facing their own forms of confusion, and isolation as they adjust to life in the United States. I am bilingual in Spanish and I am comfortable providing therapy to Spanish speaking clients.
I have a lot of experience working with survivors of sexual abuse and domestic violence. I know that this type of abuse can violate your sense of self in the deepest possible way, leading to an overwhelming flood of feelings. I know that, though it can be challenging, re-establishing that connection with yourself and learning to accept every part of who you are, can be a powerful start to healing.
Another area I feel incredibly passionate about is climate change and mental health. In an age of wildfires, droughts, and so many other natural disasters, this is a topic we all have to sit with. Yet, so many of us don't engage with it. It can feel terrifying and hopeless, filling us with despair. If this is an area in which you have been struggling, you don't have to sit in these feelings alone.
Rebecca works with women and men.
She offers a very flexible sliding scale rate of $45-$125 for individuals. Rebecca is in network with Aetna and Cigna.
She has evening and weekend availability.
