Blue Spruce Counseling Online

At Blue Spruce Counseling I work with people who are searching for the highest quality counseling. My clients are committed to making significant changes to their lives and want to recover from past hurts and negative patterns - not by covering them up with a bandage - but by spending the time and energy to make deep, lasting changes.

Dr. Pam Gaynor, now deceased, established our counseling center in 1977 and I joined the practice in 1982. I help people who are struggling with relationships, intimacy, sexual issues, stress, anxiety, depression, grief and codependency. I also coach people about all aspects of their personal and work lives. Whether you’re looking for psychotherapy, counseling, therapy or life coaching in Fort Collins, I'm happy to talk with you.

My practice is dedicated to helping people make better choices, learn to think and act in new ways and become the people they want to be. We do this in a safe environment, without judgment. I have many tools to help you, including advanced skills with Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP).

I provide absolute confidentiality. Not only do I not discuss your therapy with anyone, I do not tell anyone you contacted me. It’s fine for you to tell others about your therapy - but I never will.

Hours of Operation

I schedule sessions from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. I occasionally see people in the evenings but not on weekends.

Judy K. Underwood, Ph.D.

For as long as I can remember, my life dream has been to help people. If you are committed to your own healing and personal growth, I’d love to work with you. I have been called a therapist who is “smart, with a heart.” I use both my intellectual and academic knowledge, along with my intuition and compassion to help you make the changes you want.

I have been working with high-level professionals, as well as other individuals and couples, for over 30 years. My clients have found my treatments to be highly effective. My many years as a psychotherapist and university professor have taught me to listen deeply to what lies beneath your words, so I can help you zero in to the issues and themes that run your life. I also provide nonjudgmental acceptance of where you are today and goal-oriented support of where you want to be. Together, we explore what really matters in your life and do what it takes to bring about positive change.
