ABOUT ME

Christina Swift, LPC, ACC • First and foremost, I am a mother of two. The journey into motherhood and my postpartum experience guided my curiosity and education into the perinatal experience. Before motherhood, life brought me to Naropa University, where I obtained my Master’s degree in Contemplative Psychotherapy: a transcendent experience combining Eastern teachings with modern Western education. It helped develop me into the mindful and highly relational therapist I am today.

Eleven years post-graduate, I have come to love working with individuals and leading process groups. As a trained Perinatal Mental Health counselor, a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified Addiction Specialist in the state of Colorado, I am passionate about helping others live the lives they desire by reducing suffering and increasing self-acceptance.

Specialties:

  • Family planning and Prenatal Therapy

  • Grief and Loss Therapy

  • Postpartum Therapy

  • Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy 

  • Group Psychotherapy 

    • All Gender Interpersonal Process Groups

    • Moms Groups

More information about my experiences, education, and training:

I started my path of being of service at Mother House, a nonprofit providing safe shelter for pregnant women at risk, as a live-in house manager and then a program coordinator. I worked for Mental Health Partners, a community mental health organization, in their Child and Family program, specializing in adolescent and young adult work. I have experience providing life coaching and case management in the addiction field and worked extensively with NorthStar Transitions, eventually into an Assistant Clinical Director role providing individual and group therapy, as well as clinical supervision. Moving into private practice in the spring of 2019 was the perfect next step for my career. It allows for a healthy work-life balance so that I can build supportive and lasting relationships with my clients.

I am trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and support clients by increasing life skills to more effectively engage with themselves and the world (e.g., communication, self-acceptance, stress management, and emotion regulation). 

I am trained in Mindfulness-based Techniques for increasing one’s ability to tolerate their own mind, regulate their nervous system, and live more peacefully in the present moment. This also includes somatic work, exploring sensations and feelings in the body.

My professional homes are Postpartum Support International (PSI) and American Group Psychotherapy Association (AGPA), where I attend annual conferences and stay up to date with current therapy practices. 

When not providing therapy, I spend the majority of my free time with my gorgeous children, getting back on the exercise train, and DIY house projects with my partner in crime.

Testimonials

  • Taylor G.

    I’ve been working with Christina since early 2021, and it’s hard to overstate how much of an impact our work together has had on my life. From the very beginning, she created a space that felt safe, supportive, and real. It was a place where I could actually do the work and feel like I wasn’t doing it alone. Therapy with Christina has always felt like a true collaboration. She encouraged me to stay engaged, not just during our sessions but in between them too, which helped me stay connected to the process and to myself.

    Over time, we explored how my family dynamics have shaped the way I see myself and move through the world. We worked through periods of anxiety and depression, the emotional and physical challenges of PMDD, and the often uncomfortable but rewarding process of building self-trust and confidence. Through it all, Christina helped me reconnect with who I am beyond old patterns, fear, and self-doubt.

    Therapy is never really “finished”, but I now have tools, insights, and a stronger sense of emotional stability that help me navigate life in a way that feels more grounded and meaningful. I’m incredibly grateful for the work Christina and I have done together.

  • Jessica W.

    Working with Christina has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. When I first started seeing her, I was drowning in postpartum anxiety and struggling deeply with the transition into motherhood. Christina helped me sort through those emotions with compassion and understanding.

    She supported me through the strain postpartum put on my marriage, my relationship with my body, and my sense of self. Rather than just talking things through, she helped me reconnect with my body and work through trauma in a way that felt safe, validating, and truly life-changing.

    Our work gave me tools I still use today, and I felt genuinely heard and understood throughout the process. Thanks to Christina, I feel like myself again—more connected, more present, and able to enjoy motherhood. She’s kind, wise, and incredibly gifted at what she does.

  • Ethan H.

    Christina meets you where you’re at and stays with you through it all. We laugh together, we cry together – sometimes in the same session! Through my work with Christina, I have learned how to cope with emotions that once felt insurmountable.

    She has helped me identify patterns in my thoughts and behaviors that weren’t serving me and offered insightful feedback that has empowered me to change. I feel comfortable sharing every part of my life with Christina; we have tackled trauma, addiction, depression, and more. Her kindness and empathy are without limit. Christina listens to me, supports me, and most importantly challenges me to be the best I can be. I go to her when I am joyful, when I am depressed, when I’m angry or anxious, when I’m excited and everything in between. She is truly a partner for all of life’s challenges and I can’t recommend her enough as a therapist.

  • Jessica T.

    My work with Christina has been one of the most meaningful and impactful relationships of my life. Her empathy, care, and insight have shaped the way I understand myself and move through the world.

    One moment early on still stands out to me. When I shared that I wanted structure and accountability, Christina responded, “Maybe, if that is what will serve you best, but let’s see.” In that moment, I felt her commitment to understanding me as an individual. That care defined our work together.

    As we worked together, Christina was perceptive and adaptive, meeting me where I was and asking thoughtful, sometimes challenging questions that led to profound growth.

    In both individual and group therapy, Christina facilitated with exceptional care, creating spaces that were supportive, intentional, and emotionally safe.

    Christina genuinely cares, meets people as individuals, and creates space for meaningful, lasting change.
