Find Adult Autism Care Near You

Hello and welcome—I’m really glad you found your way here. My name is Lori Stalcar, and I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 18 years of experience supporting individuals across a wide range of life experiences, from everyday stressors to complex mental health and life transitions. I am based in Colorado and have spent much of my career working at the intersection of clinical care, community impact, and systems-level change.What truly drives me as a therapist is both my professional journey and my personal one. I became a therapist, in part, because of my own family’s experience navigating mental health challenges and the difficulty of finding the right kind of support when it mattered most. That experience continues to shape the way I show up—with deep empathy, honesty, and a genuine commitment to making sure you feel seen, heard, and valued.My background includes working in outpatient therapy, medication-assisted treatment settings, corrections, and with individuals who are neurodivergent or living with intellectual and developmental disabilities. I also bring leadership experience in program development and trauma-informed care, which allows me to see both the individual and the larger systems impacting their lives.In our work together, I take a strengths-based, collaborative approach grounded in evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and motivational interviewing. But more than any specific approach, I focus on creating a space where you can be real—where you don’t have to filter, perform, or carry things alone.Whether you are navigating anxiety, depression, grief, substance use, relationship challenges, or simply feeling stuck, I will meet you where you are. My goal is to walk alongside you as you build insight, reconnect with your strengths, and create a path forward that feels meaningful and sustainable.Your story matters—and it would be an honor to be part of your journey. 💜
