Therapy in Colorado Springs and Across Colorado

Helping Women and Teens Heal from Anxiety, Trauma, and Burnout

Rooted in resilience, renewed with hope. Trauma-informed therapy to cultivate peace and confidence.

You’re tired of feeling like you’re never doing enough, no matter how hard you try.

You feel exhausted. Burned out. Your mind never stops spinning - replaying conversations, second-guessing decisions, and worrying that you made a mistake. On the outside, it looks like you have it all together, but deep down, you feel like you’re barely keeping it together. You hold yourself to impossible standards, struggle to say “no” without guilt, and feel responsible for others’ feelings. Even when you try to slow down, you can’t truly relax. You wonder, “Will I ever feel good enough?”

You can feel better. You don’t have to stay stuck in the exhausting cycle of overwhelm and burnout. Together, we’ll create space for calm, build your confidence, and help you reconnect with yourself—so you’re not just surviving, but truly living.

Does this sound familiar?

  • You’re running on empty but feel like you can’t slow down

  • Your mind is constantly racing and you can’t seem to switch it off

  • Saying “no” feels impossible, even though you know you need to

  • You overthink every decision and constantly second-guess yourself

  • You’re driven and successful on the outside, but inside you feel completely exhausted

  • You feel like there’s no room for mistakes, like you always have to get it right

  • You feel guilty when you try to take time for yourself or rest

You’ve been carrying a lot. You don’t have to do it alone.

Michaela Zoppa, Licensed Professional Counselor for women in Colorado

Hi, I’m Michaela Zoppa, MA, LPC

I work with women who feel like no matter how much they do, it’s never enough. They’re tired of constantly holding everything together. But there is a way forward, and I’m here to help you get there.

My approach is relational, compassionate, and grounded in curiosity. I’ll meet you exactly where you are, and together, we’ll work toward a version of you that feels more calm, confident, and connected to what really matters. I use trauma-informed approaches like EMDR and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help get to the root of the patterns that keep you feeling stuck, not just manage the symptoms on the surface.

I’m not here to give you a checklist of things to fix. I’m here to help you ease the pressure, find balance, and remember this truth: you are already worthy. In therapy, we’ll create a space where you can breathe, build peace, and begin to feel more like you again—grounded, confident, and calm.

My Specialties

  • Your mind never stops racing, you struggle to relax, and you’re scared of making any mistakes. We can work together to help quiet your inner critic and build confidence in yourself.

  • Trauma doesn’t always look the way you expect. Past experiences like toxic relationships, childhood dynamics, or constant invalidation can leave a lasting impact. Together, we can untangle deep-rooted beliefs and patterns so that you can find healing.

  • You give so much to others, but lately, it feels like there’s nothing left. I help therapists, healthcare workers, teachers, and other helping professionals recover from burnout and emotional exhaustion. Together, we’ll restore your energy, set healthy boundaries, and help you feel like yourself again.
