Kendrick Lutz, LCSW, LAC – Licensed Clinical Social Worker & Addiction Counselor
I am a licensed clinical social worker and addiction counselor serving clients in and around Colorado Springs, Colorado, as well as online therapy in the state of Colorado. As your therapist, it is my priority to create a therapeutic atmosphere that promotes growth and positive change with you. I look forward to working with you to address your challenges and realize your goals. Therapy is a process that can move you toward being the healthiest version of yourself and living the life you desire.
Treatment Approach
I use a variety of approaches to address my clients unique needs. Many successful treatment plans will utilize a foundation of different therapies that can include cognitive-behavioral and dialectical behavior therapies, EMDR, internal family systems, object relations, person-centered, psychodynamic, solution-focused therapy, somatic and/or polyvagal therapy. We will then quickly move toward a tailored treatment plan and approach that includes tools to help you sustain the growth experienced in regular therapy.
Additionally, there is a growing body of research that supports the practice of self-compassion and mindfulness in psychotherapy. Neuroscience research reveals individuals that practice these techniques are happier, more resilient, and better equipped to heal painful memories from the past. It is my honor and mission to help my clients move past what’s blocking them from reaching their full potential individually and in their relationships.
