Meet Our Team
Joy Kimmins, MA, LPCC
Therapeutic Philosophy
I believe in the power of therapy. My own journey helped me uncover my core values and sparked meaningful change. Now, as a therapist, I’m here to help you find your path. Therapy isn’t about rushing—especially in grief. It’s about creating space for all your emotions and allowing healing at your own pace.
What to Expect in Therapy
In our first session, we’ll explore what brought you to therapy and pinpoint areas that need attention. I’m here to support your growth and celebrate every step forward.
Qualifications and Experience
I hold a Master’s in Counseling from Wayland Baptist University (2015). My experience includes working with a hospice organization and helping women transition out of homelessness or incarceration. As a military veteran and former EMT, I have a deep appreciation for those who serve their communities
Personal Life
I live in Colorado Springs with my husband, three children, and two dogs. We enjoy staying active and love roasting marshmallows by the fire with some Jimmy Buffett tunes.

Jesse Wretlind, MA, LPC
Jesse works with those who are seeking clarity in one or many areas of their lives, those working through complex emotions, those learning how to set healthy boundaries, those learning new skills to cope with difficult situations or circumstances, those working on adjusting to a new or stressful situation, those coping with grief, depression, anxiety, or those processing and healing traumatic experiences. Jesse can also provide adjunct EMDR or Brainspotting therapy to process traumatic experiences for those that already have a therapist.
She combines several different evidence-based approaches to meet her clients’ needs within a client-centered framework of practice. Some therapeutic techniques she offers are AEDP, IFS, EMDR, TRTP and Brainspotting therapies. Jesse is also a retired veteran of the U.S. Air Force and is familiar with the special challenges facing military members and their families.
It takes courage to begin any journey, and it can be particularly difficult to reach out for support if you have experienced trauma. Counseling can be a safe way to reclaim your strength, find your voice, redefine your values, and strengthen your relationship with yourself and others.
