Hi, I’m C blanck.
MDiv, MSW, HAEI-SW, LCSW
I work with adults navigating trauma, anxiety, identity, and suicidal thoughts, with a focus on LGBTQIA+ and neurodiverse clients. I specialize in religious trauma and spiritual harm, including the impacts of high-control environments, and offer a space where you can explore your experiences without judgment or pressure.
My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, and paced. I prioritize building safety, stability, and coping skills before moving into deeper healing work. I integrate modalities such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and am CAMS-trained (working toward certification) to support clients in managing distress, understanding themselves more deeply, and moving toward meaningful change.
I hold a Master of Social Work (MSW) and a Master of Divinity (MDiv), which informs my work with religious trauma and the complex ways spirituality and identity intersect with mental health. I do not practice from a faith-based framework; instead, I support clients in defining their own beliefs, values, and sense of meaning.
As a queer, neurodiverse clinician living with invisible disabilities, I bring both professional training and lived experience into my work. I am committed to providing affirming, non-coercive care that centers your autonomy and lived experience.
My background includes trauma-informed research, training, and community-based work with individuals experiencing houselessness and complex trauma and mental health struggles. I also have a strong interest in the human-animal bond, hold a certificate in Human-Animal-Environment Interactions (HAEI), and have experience with animal-assisted therapy, which I hope to incorporate into my practice in the future.
Therapy with me is a space to slow down, make sense of your experiences, and build the tools you need to move forward. You don’t have to do it alone.

Hi, I’m Fusion.
Fusion is a sweet and goofy Labrador mix born in New Mexico around March 1, 2023. His early life had some challenges—surrendered to a rescue at six months due to "inadequate housing," he found his way to Colorado through the Retriever Rescue of Colorado. After a whirlwind weekend, Fusion landed with C as an emergency foster on November 4, 2023. His charm and loving personality quickly won C’s heart, and the adoption was finalized on November 20, 2023.
Fusion’s journey hasn’t been without its hurdles. He initially struggled with separation anxiety but found joy and confidence through regular daycare visits and training. He loves playing with his friends and is known for his exuberant spirit. Fusion also battled a bout of kennel cough but recovered fully, emerging stronger and more resilient.
In February 2024, Fusion achieved a major milestone, becoming a certified therapy dog through the Professional Therapy Dogs of Colorado program. Currently, C and Fusion provide animal-assisted therapy in a community mental health setting only. While Fusion is certified, he’s still a young pup and needs time to rest and recharge. In the future, C and Fusion hope to expand their work, offering animal-assisted therapy and therapy dog appearances through Sacred Scars LLC.
