​

Steph is a Northern Colorado Licensed Addictions Counselor, Licensed Clinical Counselor and Certified Master Herbalist. They are CAMS trained and EMDR Certified. They started their journey in this field in 2001 in victim’s advocacy services and case management services.  They are geeky, queer, Indigenous/Latinx and two spirit. They have had their own recovery through trauma and watched those they love struggle with addiction. They worked as a victims advocate during their undergraduate studies in Applied Social Sciences, working with families in recovery from domestic violence and on the rape crisis hotline. They saw a cross over of criminal justice systems involvement and substance abuse within these populations and decided to pursue a masters in Criminal Justice and Legal Administration. They would then go on to pursue a second Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and become a Licensed Addictions Counselor. During their studies they worked in a variety of settings specializing in substance abuse, and dual diagnosis. They worked in chemical dependency detox, medically assisted treatment centers, partial hospitalization treatment centers, intensive outpatient, and outpatient recovery services. The experiences throughout their life as a queer person of color have helped them to embrace who they are. Their education and experiences in the field of counseling helped them to expand their knowledge of the impact trauma, depression, anxiety, and other mental health disorders have, in order to help others on their own journey toward recovery. Steph lives in Fort Collins with their spouse, beagle mix Zoe the Therapy Dog, Therapy Dog beagle mix, Ezra, bearded dragon Willow, and snake Hannibal. They enjoy time with family and friends, cosplaying, and networking with like minded humans in the local geek and LGBT communities.

 Gwen Burke, Cliental Mental Health Intern She/Her

Accepting New Clients in Mid August 2024 - Adults 

​

Gwen is excited to return to Equilibrium as an Intern this fall as she completes her final year of her Master’s in Clinical Mental Health at Adams State University.  Gwen is passionate about working with veterans, first responders, freshly physically disabled or impaired, and other adults who may find themselves wrestling with a “dark night of the soul.”  She is interested in meeting people in the midst of their struggles and coming alongside those wrestling with grief, trauma, or loss and help them navigate through that dark season.  It does not have to be a significant or life-altering event that brings about this season – it is also the stressors that people face daily that can create the need to sort through the heavier side of life.  Gwen would like to meet people there and walk alongside them on the path to healing.  She enjoys collaborating with her clients through Narrative Therapy, Logotherapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, among others.

 

Gwen has over a decade of service as a first responder, first in EMS and then in law enforcement before being injured on the job and medically retiring.  She understands the unique challenges of shift work, job stress, and the impact of trauma and moral injury on those who serve the public.  She also has first-hand experience with physical disability as a recent upper limb amputee.  Gwen also holds a Master’s in International Relations and Conflict Resolution from American Military University.

 

As she learns how to navigate the world one-handed, Gwen enjoys the challenge of learning how to use her myoelectric (read: robot) arm and getting back to a full life.  Several times a year, she also journeys to Middle Earth by listening to, reading, or watching all of the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings.  She is an avid audiobook user and enjoys learning more about the world and the humans in it. One of her recent fiction favorites was The Measure by Nikki Erlick, and her recent non-fiction favorite was The Infinite Game by Simon Sinek.
