About Toni
Toni Kooy is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and related struggles. She draws on two decades of experience in mental health and substance use settings to provide steady, nonjudgmental support. Her manner is practical and calm, focused on helping people find clearer thinking and better day-to-day coping.
In sessions she listens first to understand what feels most overwhelming. She works with short- and long-term goals to build small, useful changes. Toni often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and shift unhelpful thinking patterns, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to strengthen emotion regulation and decision making.
Her background includes a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s degree in counseling from the University of Colorado. She has worked across rural and urban community mental health centers and has served clients with a wide range of mood, trauma, and grief concerns. She also has experience with substance use and addiction issues.
Toni has received extensive training in trauma work, including EMDR methods, and she has worked with clients experiencing post-traumatic stress and related symptoms. Her practical life experience in many jobs informs a down-to-earth, nonjudgmental approach.
She aims to help people identify strengths they already have and build habits that improve mood, relationships, and overall functioning. If someone is ready to make changes, she offers steady guidance and collaborative planning to move forward.
