About Hazel
Hazel Richards is a licensed clinical social worker with over 30 years in the field. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, or low self esteem. Her style is straightforward and goal-focused, aimed at helping clients clarify what they want and how to get there.
Hazel draws on a mix of practical therapies to match each person's needs. She listens for strengths and obstacles, and she helps people break goals into small, manageable steps. That can involve looking at daily habits, communication patterns, or sources of recurring distress.
Her background includes work in child welfare, special education, hospital settings, and adult mental health rehabilitation. She also has experience with veterans and with people dealing with trauma, addictions, and mood concerns. This variety has shaped an approach that values both immediate problem-solving and deeper personal insight.
In sessions Hazel often helps clients identify resources and supports they can use outside of therapy. She focuses on building practical coping skills while also paying attention to longer-term patterns that affect relationships and self worth. The aim is to make progress toward realistic goals at a pace that feels manageable.
Hazel holds LCSW and CSW credentials and practices in Colorado. She works in English and collaborates with each person to tailor the work to their priorities and daily life.
