Colleen Tretton, LPC

Colleen Tretton understands how a traumatic experience can leave someone feeling stuck and unsafe, as if they are slogging through thick mud with no clear path forward. Outward appearances may suggest everything is fine while beneath the surface a persistent sadness, irritability, and disconnection from self and others quietly erode daily life. She recognizes how interests shrink, sleep becomes disrupted, and coping strategies such as substance use or other behaviors can begin to fill the gap when other efforts feel ineffective.

She supports people in reconnecting with their own thoughts and feelings and rebuilding ties to the people they care about. By gently peeling back layers of pain, Colleen helps clients uncover the parts of themselves that have been hidden, allowing growth to follow. Her approach integrates attention to the whole person - mind, body, and spirit - with the aim of rekindling joy and helping individuals find their way back to a more authentic sense of self.

Colleen is committed to facilitating shifts that lead to meaningful transformation. She has worked with people from a range of backgrounds and has witnessed change occur when someone feels supported, heard, and understood. Colleen holds the LPC credential, which stands for Licensed Professional Counselor, and she brings that clinical foundation to her work with each person she sees.
