Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
Coping with the effects of a traumatic experience is like battling through a stream of thick mud, making you feel helpless and unsafe. On the outside you may appear fine, but on the inside, there is something dark and sad sitting just below the surface. The irritability, lack of connection to others and yourself, disinterest in the things you used to enjoy, and difficulty sleeping is enough to make you feel like there’s no end in sight. Perhaps you’ve turned to substances or other behaviors as a way to cope since nothing else seems to work. Seeking help is scary but with the right connection miracles can happen.
Imagine what it would be like to feel more connected to your own thoughts and feelings – and to those you love. Peeling away the layers of pain and exposing your true self is an effective way to ignite growth. This mind, body and spirit approach is the way to rekindle your joy and find your way back to yourself. What we expose will no longer hold power.
I am committed to helping you cause a shift, and therefore a transformation in your life. I have worked with individuals with a variety of backgrounds, and have seen first hand transformation happen. Change is easier when you are supported, heard, and understood.

Colleen Tretton offers compassionate, trauma-aware therapy for people who feel stuck beneath a surface that looks fine to others. She understands how irritability, numbness, disconnection from oneself and others, loss of interest in formerly enjoyable activities, sleep problems, and reliance on substances or other coping behaviors can make life feel unendingly heavy.
Working from a mind-body-spirit perspective, Colleen helps clients gently uncover and process layers of pain so those experiences lose their hold. She is committed to supporting shifts that lead to meaningful transformation, and she describes change as easier when a person feels heard, supported, and understood.
Colleen has nine years of clinical experience and has worked with individuals from a variety of backgrounds. She practices in Arizona and is licensed to provide professional counseling there.
Her areas of focus include stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, depression, and intimacy-related concerns. Colleen aims to rekindle a sense of connection—to thoughts, feelings, and loved ones—so clients can find their way back to themselves and rediscover joy.
For many common concerns – including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and life transitions – online therapy can be just as effective as meeting in person. Research and clinical experience support its use for these types of issues, and many people find meaningful progress through virtual sessions.
One of the strongest benefits of online work is flexibility. Individuals can meet with a therapist using the format that fits their routine and comfort level – video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This range of options makes it easier to prioritize care without rearranging a whole life.
Therapy delivered remotely is provided by licensed professionals and therapists. If at any point someone feels a different match would be helpful, it is possible to switch therapists to find the best fit for their needs.
