Hello! My name is Karis Lambert and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Colorado. I earned my Bachelor’s of Science in Human Development and Family Studies from Colorado
State University and my Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from the University of Denver. During my graduate studies I completed internships with adults in a drug and alcohol rehab and teenagers in a
school setting. After completing graduate school, I spent several years working at various eating disorder treatment centers in Colorado. I specialize in working with adults and teens struggling with anxiety, eating disorders, maternal mood disorders, body image distress, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and life transitions.

I am also trained in EMDR therapy. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is an effective and thoroughly researched therapy designed to help individuals heal from emotional distress following traumatic or adverse experiences. EMDR was created for PTSD and trauma symptoms, but continued research demonstrated its effectiveness at treating a wide array of mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, eating disorders, and maternal mood disorders. What is EMDR? When people experience traumatic or difficult experiences their nervous system and brains become overwhelmed, and the event cannot be fully processed. These
experiences get “stuck” in the brain and body. This can result in a multitude of psychological and physical symptoms. EMDR is designed to help get these memories unstuck by unlocking the nervous system and allowing the mind and body to heal.

I strive to be a person-centered therapist that believes therapy is an extremely personal experience that should be tailored to each person based on their needs, goals, and personal history. I work to create a
warm and authentic environment that we can utilize to explore different areas of your life that you feel stuck in. I believe that our emotions hold a lot of wisdom and power and should not be ignored but explored and validated. I utilize several different therapeutic modalities such as cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, solution-focused, and dialectical behavioral therapy.

Outside of the therapy room I enjoy spending time with my husband and three kids. I love being
outdoors, connecting with friends, trying new restaurants, and treating myself to a delicious cup of
coffee. I’m excited you’ve taken this first, brave step in your journey. Please reach out if you have any
questions or would like to connect.
