Deana Hartshorn, LPC

Deana Hartshorn is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed to practice in Colorado and Texas, bringing more than 11 years of clinical experience to her work. She focuses on stress and anxiety, relationship challenges, motivation and self-esteem, confidence issues, depression, and helping clients cope with major life changes. Her practice also addresses concerns such as abandonment, communication problems, divorce and separation, feelings of emptiness, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, life purpose, midlife transitions, self-love, and women's issues.

Deana integrates evidence-informed techniques into her work, including use of the ABC model from Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy. This approach helps people identify self-defeating thoughts, examine irrational or unhelpful beliefs, and replace them with more constructive ways of thinking and behaving. She also draws from client-centered, cognitive behavioral, narrative, and solution-focused ideas to tailor treatment to each person’s situation.

Known for treating others with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, she customizes conversations and treatment plans to align with each client’s unique needs and goals. She recognizes that beginning therapy takes courage and acknowledges the commitment involved in taking that first step.
