About Me
Meet Katy De Angelis, LCSW
Trauma-Informed Therapist in Lafayette, CO and Online Across Colorado
Hi, I’m Katy — and I’m so glad you’re here.
I’ve been working in the mental health field for over 15 years, supporting individuals through some of the hardest — and most transformational — chapters of their lives. My approach as a therapist is deeply informed by both my professional expertise and my own lived experience as a mother, daughter, sister, partner, friend, and fellow human being.
I know what its like to be in the Client chair…
Before I became a therapist, I was — and still am — a client. My life has brought me through many deeply human challenges:
Being raised by emotionally immature parents
Navigating childhood divorce
Processing emotional neglect and low self-esteem
Healing from anxiety and depression
Grieving the tragic loss of a parent
Surviving and growing through postpartum depression and anxiety
Facing the emotional shifts of becoming a parent
These personal experiences have profoundly shaped my understanding of what it means to suffer — and what it means to heal. They’ve also given me deep empathy for my clients and a grounded, nonjudgmental approach to the work we do together.
Why I Do This Work
Because I know how hard it is to feel like you're drowning — and how life-changing it is to be truly supported.
Because I believe healing happens in relationship — and that therapy can be a sacred space for re-learning trust, safety, and connection.
Because I want to help others realize that they are not broken, and that they don’t have to carry it all alone anymore.
This work is more than my job — it’s my calling. And it would be my sincere honor to walk alongside you as your guide on your healing journey.
My Therapeutic Approach
I offer a warm, relational, and trauma-informed space where you can feel seen, supported, and safe enough to explore the hard stuff. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, or parenthood, I will meet you where you are — with compassion and curiosity.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I integrate:
Trauma-informed psychotherapy
Brainspotting therapy (I’m a Certified Brainspotting Clinician)
Maternal mental health specialization
Attachment-based and somatic approaches
Support for life transitions, loss, and inner child healing
I work with adults of all backgrounds, and I have advanced training in supporting new and expecting parents, individuals struggling with postpartum depression and anxiety, and those recovering from childhood trauma or emotional neglect.
