About Me:
Clayton Norman

When I first went to therapy at 15, the word “Psychotherapy” on the therapist’s door immediately made me feel like I was in trouble or that something was wrong with me. I ended up storming out halfway through the session and never returned.

As an adult, when I tried therapy again, I realized how much my younger self could have benefited from it if I had only found a counselor I could trust and relate to.

After spending nearly 15 years working in the summer camp industry I began to pursue my Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at CU Denver. Now, I combine many of the fun and adventurous elements of the summer camp world with clinical therapy tools to create an approach to therapy that is accessible and meaningful for adolescents because when kids go to therapy they should feel comfortable, valued, and like they want to be there.
