We want to make it clear that everyone offering services at People House is an independent healing art professional in private practice and therefore is to be held solely and totally responsible for their conduct to all who make use of their services.

Cindee Ball
MA, LPCCLife can be complicated; wherein we are faced with struggles, losses, grief , trauma and a host of other circumstances that can drop us to our knees. Having a counselor that acknowledges your humanity, that sits with you in your pain, that holds space with empathy, that works with you to unpack your deepest fears, that helps you design the life you want is the greatest gift can give yourself.
How do I know this? Because I am human too. I have had my own host of personal losses and complicated struggles where I’ve had to learn to emotionally regulate. I call myself a “wounded healer” wherein I’ve had to learn how to disassemble my struggles and approach them head on to overcome them. Having my own counselor has supported my own growth.
These life experiences allow me to be with you, to listen beyond your words, to share my wisdom and honor your humanity. I hold a license as a LPCC, and hold certifications in life coaching and spiritual counseling.
Specialties: life transitions, grief, empowerment, relationships, trauma. I utilize many theories: CBT, client-centered, expressive therapeutic approaches and others dependent upon your unique situation.

Samantha Camerino
MSW, LCSWHello! I’m Samantha Camerino (she/her), founder of Nomad Therapy Services, a mobile service that brings the therapy to you. I use a ‘Person-in Environment’ approach, acknowledging both the personal and environmental factors impacting our mental health. I started Nomad Therapy as a way to break through some of the traditional barriers to accessing support, by inviting each individual to determine their own session setting; this may include the office, a local park, a ‘walk and talk’ session, or at your home. By bringing the therapy to you, the Nomad belief is that this will inherently create a more calming, comfortable, and safe space for self-exploration.
I began my career in 2013, after receiving my Master in Social Work (MSW) from Fordham University in New York City. Since then, I have been working with individuals on a variety of challenges, including depression, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, employment and educational issues, paranoia, bi-polar and additional mood disorders. My style is eclectic, using an array of evidenced based practices, while applying a ‘Person-in-Environment’ framework. I firmly believe that each person has a unique understanding of their personal challenges… and their solutions. Having a trusted partner to help you maneuver these waters can effectively remove some of the struggles that may be impeding your personal growth.
If you are interested in learning more about the ‘Nomad’ approach, feel free to visit my website, www.nomadtherapyservices.com, or contact me to schedule a complimentary 30 minute phone consultation.

MA, LPCC, NCCStress just. doesn’t. stop. and “work-life balance” seems like an impossible feat. Things have been building for FAR too long; you can’t remember the last time you weren’t so overwhelmed or anxious. When they first contact me, my clients can’t stand how irritable they’ve become, especially around those they love. Their go-to de-stressors aren’t cutting it anymore, and they’ve grown tired of their own procrastination, rumination, and withdrawing from others.
You want to be more present in your life & relationships. You want to feel like your old self again – or a new, calmer self – on a path of continued growth and success. You want more for yourself and are ready for change. I can help by co-creating a brave and safe space and validating you – especially when it feels like no one understands. We’ll rebuild coping skills for relief now and prevention later. I’ll challenge you (with care), offer accountability, laugh with you:), and use your strengths to help you meet your goals.
You’re struggling now and contacting therapists only to then wait for responses is frustrating. I offer free, confidential phone consults to make sure that I can be of help to you before you commit to an intake session. Skip the waiting and take another step toward relief now by scheduling a consult directly at definingpathcounseling.com. Serving adults of all identities (typically ages 20s-50s) with stress, anxiety, grief/loss, transitions and career challenges. Trauma-informed, LGBTQ+ affirmative, rooted in social justice and cultural humility. Teletherapy and in person in Northglenn/North Denver.

Are you struggling? I want you to know that you are not alone. We all have painful experiences. They are part of the human condition. I believe it is how we respond to these difficulties that determines not only the extent of our suffering, but how we are able to transform our pain and loss into strength, power, and growth. The most impactful experience we can provide each other is to be fully present and listen to one another’s stories with open hearts and minds. Through transformative relationships and compassion for ourselves and others we find hope and effect change.

- We experience our emotions and hold our trauma in our bodies. Transformative healing is possible as we allow our bodies to process old wounds.
- Your mind, body, and spirit are equally important to your health.
- Practicing awareness and acceptance of your thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations on purpose in the present moment is key to alleviating your suffering.
- All change and growth are born of acceptance and compassion.
I look forward to accompanying you on your journey of healing, growth and change!

LPC, NCCOur lives – yours and mine – have both similarities and differences. Each is a tapestry, woven with many complex and beautiful threads that represent experiences. Some of the threads were given at birth and other strands continue to be stitched in as we grow. I believe we each have a story to be told, and my heart is to create a space for you to find the bravery to tell yours. There are moments in life that can seem too difficult to put into words, but it can be through the process of sitting together that you can find the strength to give voice to the silent parts of your story.
Counseling can be a vulnerable process, and I completely respect the time it takes to build a relationship. When working together, you can expect my upmost respect and tenderness around heart-filled topics. We have secrets for a reason, and they are often charged with both emotion and confusion. Understanding this, I offer a space that is judgement free and safe for you to explore the vulnerabilities and unspoken parts of yourself.
On a personal note, I have spent the past decade living in Colorado. I love being in the mountains – hiking, biking, and camping. When not outside, I enjoy having a good cup of coffee and an insightful book by my side. Finding new coffee shops and strolling through antique stores are favored pastimes. I love adventure and believe that when in nature I connect to both the rawness and beauty of the landscape. I relate to the great mountaineer Sir Edmund Hillary, “It is not the mountain we conquer, but ourselves.” I have summited my own mountains within life, and believe it is out of this work that I am better able to sit with you in your valleys and on you mountain tops.
Professionally speaking, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, Gottman Level 1 & 2 Certified, and a Nationally Certified Counselor. Currently, I am in training to become a Certified Sex Therapist through AASECT (American Association of Sex Educators, Counselors, and Therapists). I have a broad range of experience supporting individuals and couples – specifically within LGBTQIA* and CNM/ENM communities. I believe the therapeutic relationship is vital to establishing safety and support in therapy. You can expect my undivided attention and non-judgmental presence throughout the entirety of our work. Each session will be unique and tailored specifically to your needs and goals – incorporating techniques from existentialism, movement based interventions, trauma-informed care, DBT, and nature based reflections.
Whatever your story may have been and is yet to become, I would be honored to share in it with you.

I provide a safe, non-judgmental space to explore your emotions, beliefs, and thoughts as you discover ways of navigating through the world with authenticity and self-compassion.
It would be my honor to support and guide you through your journey of self-discovery and healing.
