Mental Health and Substance Use Therapist in Colorado
Therapy for the Sober Curious Ready to Heal Relationship Trauma and Step into Their Identity
Supporting your journey to authenticity and inner strength.
Many of my clients come to me feeling stuck, anxious, or disconnected from themselves and others, often as a result of unresolved family trauma or attachment wounds. These traumas can lead us to seek escape, sometimes with alcohol, substances, or other unhealthy behaviors. Together, we’ll work on healing these deeper patterns, fostering healthier relationships, and finding inner peace.
Hello, again. I’m Kristine Majestic, a licensed addiction counselor (LAC) and licensed professional counselor candidate (LPCC). My own struggles, experiences, and profound healing have led me to pursue this life as a therapist to hold space for people navigating the deep unknown.
For many years, I struggled with my own relationship with alcohol, uncertain about what it meant for my life and my future. I was constantly asking myself “what if I don’t like myself?”, “what if people think I’m boring?”, and “what will my life even look like if I’m not drinking?” It was a deeply personal process, and through that work, I found not only sobriety but also a greater purpose—to hold space for others as they navigate their own journey through healing.
I’ve been sober from alcohol since September 1, 2017, so I’ve walked a similar path, and I understand the fear, the resistance, and the hope that come with making big changes. In our work together, I offer my lived experience alongside my professional training, creating a space where you can explore your past, break unhealthy patterns, and move forward with clarity and confidence.
I earned my master’s degree in addiction counseling from Colorado State University, and since then, I’ve worked with individuals struggling with addiction, substance use, and severe trauma. While I do work with all genders, I have a passion in working with women who are facing gender-specific issues and traumas. In our work together, we’ll chart a path that honors your unique journey and helps you uncover the strength you’ve always had within you.

In our sessions, I take an eclectic approach to therapy, blending various modalities to meet your unique needs. My work is rooted in an attachment-based perspective, which means we’ll explore how early experiences, relationships with caregivers, and family dynamics have shaped your emotional and relational patterns. By understanding these influences, we can uncover healthier ways of relating to yourself and others, helping you build stronger connections and foster emotional resilience.
At the heart of my work is a relational focus. I believe healing begins with a strong therapeutic connection where you feel truly seen, heard, and valued. I approach each client with unconditional positive regard, honoring your unique journey and creating a space where your inner wisdom can guide the healing process.
My work is also informed by a feminist lens, which means I deeply understand how societal expectations and systemic challenges can influence your experiences and relationships. For me, feminism is about empowerment, inclusion, and exploring how societal structures shape your personal story, while supporting you in navigating these dynamics with clarity and strength. I also approach therapy with a gender-affirming and LGBTQIA+ inclusive perspective, creating a space where individuals of all identities feel seen, valued, and respected. Together, we’ll focus on your unique journey, honoring your experiences and supporting you in discovering new ways to thrive.
While our work will be deep and meaningful, I also believe humor can play an essential role in healing. Life is complex, and sometimes discovering the humor in its twists and turns can remind us of our resilience and our ability to grow. Of course, I approach this with sensitivity—always respecting your experiences and never making light of your challenges.
As an eclectic therapist, I incorporate techniques from strength-based therapy, motivational interviewing, and other evidence-based practices, tailoring each session to your specific goals and challenges. Our work together will focus on tapping into your existing strengths and uncovering new ones. I’ll actively engage with you to explore fresh perspectives and gently challenge unhelpful thought patterns that may be holding you back. By blending modalities and building on your insights, we’ll uncover more empowering ways of thinking and being, helping you navigate challenges and create meaningful change with confidence.

I hold a Master’s degree in Addiction Counseling from Colorado State University and am a Licensed Addiction Counselor (LAC) and Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate (LPCC) in the state of Colorado.
I have completed specialized training in ketamine-assisted psychotherapy by attending the Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy Training Program through Elemental Psychedelics. Elemental is a women-led training center for education, experience, and ethics in psychedelic practice.
Additionally, I’m a member of the American Group Psychotherapy Association (AGPA), which reflects my commitment to professional growth, ethical standards, and expertise in creating meaningful and effective group therapy experiences.
My experience in both private practice and community mental health gives me a broad understanding of the unique challenges people face, and I use this knowledge to offer compassionate, tailored care.

I believe in the power of empathy and authenticity in healing. My practice is rooted in the belief that every person has the ability to heal, and I see my role as a guide in helping you rediscover your innate strengths.
I am particularly passionate about supporting those exploring sobriety and healing from trauma, offering a space where you can be your truest self and work through challenges at your own pace.
My own journey of healing is rooted in group work, where shared experiences create powerful opportunities for growth.
I absolutely love working one-on-one with clients, helping them explore their unique challenges and guiding them toward healing in a deeply personal way. But because of my own journey of healing through group work, I also offer support groups, group counseling, and group ketamine journeys. These group settings foster connection, provide collective insight, and allow clients to feel supported by a community while engaging in their personal healing. Whether in individual or group work, my goal is to create a space where each person feels seen, heard, and empowered.
