Meet Dr. Hannah Coffey

When anxiety, OCD, or past experiences begin to take up too much space, life can start to feel smaller. Dr. Coffey works with individuals across the lifespan (children, teens, adults), families, and pregnant and postpartum people to move beyond feeling stuck and to reconnect with meaningful relationships, experiences, and identity. She is especially passionate about supporting trans and gender diverse clients and brings a warm, relational, and affirming approach to therapy.

In-person sessions available in Englewood, Colorado. Telehealth appointments available for those located in Colorado.

The VPG Difference

Who Dr. Coffey Works With

Children (ages 5+)

Anxiety, OCD, and trauma in young children can lead to fear, anger, caregiver-child conflict, and changes to family routines. Children who are anxious often react in ways that feel out of character, leading caregivers to wonder how to help their child feel like themselves again. Dr. Coffey uses play, creativity, and warmth to build trusting relationships with children and help them feel safe as they learn to face fears and navigate difficult emotions. When appropriate, she involves family to support children’s growth and help them practice new skills outside of sessions.

Teens

Navigating family, friends, school, and growing responsibilities is a lot for teens to manage. When you add anxiety, OCD, or trauma on top of that, things can start to feel overwhelming. Dr. Coffey works alongside teens to identify goals that matter to them and a collaborative plan for moving toward these goals. She brings warmth, directness, and humor to her work with teens as they work toward building insight and flexibility, navigating identity development, and developing skills that support their wellbeing now and in the future.

Adults

You may already recognize the ways in which anxiety, OCD, or trauma affect your relationships and day-to-day life, but still feel stuck in patterns that are difficult to change. Maybe you’ve tried therapy before and found that understanding your struggles helped, but was not enough to move you forward. Dr. Coffey believes meaningful change happens when people feel safe enough to practice doing things differently, even when that feels uncomfortable. She uses a collaborative and strengths-based approach to identify what matters most to you and develop a plan to help you move toward the life you want to live.

Parents

When your child is experiencing anxiety, it can be challenging to know how to best support them. You may find yourself trying to ease their distress in the moment while wondering how to help them build confidence and navigate challenges more independently. Dr. Coffey uses evidence-based strategies to help parents understand anxiety, respond in ways that support their child’s growth, and build confidence in navigating difficult moments together.

LGBTQ+

Dr. Coffey is passionate about supporting LGBTQ+ communities, particularly trans and gender diverse youth and adults. Navigating anxiety, OCD, or trauma while also managing marginalization or worrying about whether you’ll be understood and affirmed in a therapy space can be a heavy burden. You deserve high-quality care for the challenges you are bringing in, in a space where you are valued, respected, and affirmed without question. Dr. Coffey’s clinical training and personal experiences inform her collaborative, flexible, and identity-affirming approach, with care centered on your individual experiences and goals.

Perinatal & Postpartum

Anxiety and OCD that arise during pregnancy or following birth can leave new or expecting parents feeling scared, isolated, or disconnected in a time when they may have imagined feeling joyful and connected. You may experience thoughts or feelings that are unexpected, distressing, or difficult to talk about, especially when they don’t align with what you thought this time would feel like. Dr. Coffey works with pregnant and postpartum people of all genders to navigate these experiences using evidence-based approaches, with the goal of helping you feel more supported, empowered, and connected.

Dr. Coffey's Approach

Dr. Coffey’s approach to therapy is collaborative, relational, and goal-oriented. She believes meaningful change happens when people feel safe, understood, and supported while also being gently challenged to grow. Drawing on evidence-based approaches such as Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT), Prolonged Exposure (PE), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and behavioral parent training, she tailors therapy to each person’s experiences, needs, and preferences.

Her clients have shared that her openness and nonjudgmental approach have helped them feel comfortable exploring experiences that may be difficult to talk about. Dr. Coffey’s goal is to help you build the confidence and skills to navigate life beyond your therapy sessions. She believes that therapy should leave you feeling more empowered to face challenges, trust yourself, and move toward the life you want to live.
