Teen Violence Counseling in Colorado

Aggression that's escalating faster than you can respond to it. Fear of what might happen next. Feeling out of options after trying everything you know. You shouldn't have to face this alone. Overcomers Counseling offers counseling for teens showing violent or aggressive behavior across Colorado Springs, Aurora, Fort Collins, and Pueblo, plus statewide teletherapy.

You Don't Have to Face This Alone

Violent or aggressive behavior in teens often stems from difficulty regulating intense emotions, past trauma, or unmet needs, not simply a discipline problem. Understanding that doesn't make it any less frightening or exhausting for families living with it. Our therapists work with both teens and families to address the root causes.

What Counseling Can Support

Sessions often focus on emotional regulation and impulse control, understanding triggers for aggressive behavior, family communication and safety planning, addressing underlying trauma or mental health concerns, and rebuilding trust within the family. Safety for everyone in the home is always the priority.

How Our Therapists Help

Our providers use evidence-based approaches for adolescent aggression, working with both the teen and family to build emotional regulation skills and safer patterns at home. For clients who want it, we also offer faith-integrated counseling grounded in accountability and grace.

What is the goal of counseling for teen violence?

The goal of counseling for teen violence isn’t to shame a teenager. It's to help them take back control of their life. When a teen is struggling with violence, it can feel like they're on a path with no way out. We work together to help them understand what’s driving their behavior, so they can find a new way to express their feelings without resorting to violence. We believe in their capacity for change and are here to help them get there.

How can a counselor help a teen with their anger and violence?

A teen's anger and violence is often a way of communicating that they feel unheard or misunderstood. Counseling helps them find a new way to communicate. We'll help them understand what's driving their behavior, and we’ll give them a new playbook for responding to their feelings with empathy and compassion. We believe in their capacity to find a new way to live and to live a life that is full and rewarding.

What are some common challenges parents face with a violent teen?

Parents of a violent teen can feel completely overwhelmed and defeated. You may feel like you’re constantly fighting and nothing you do seems to work. We understand this struggle. We'll provide a safe space for you to process your emotions, find community with other parents who understand, and develop new strategies to help you and your child navigate the world. You are not a helpless passenger; you can get your family back on track.

Can a teen with a history of violence change?

Yes. Change is possible. Taking the first step to seek help is a powerful sign of a teen's strength and willingness to change. Our counseling is a non-judgmental space where we help a teen understand the root of their behavior. We'll give them a new playbook for responding to their urges, so they can choose a different path. We can work together to help them become a person who resolves conflict with respect and compassion, not with violence.

AI Summary
Across hundreds of client reviews, one theme comes through again and again: people feel truly heard here. Clients describe finally finding a therapist who understood them, gaining real tools for anxiety, trauma, and anger management, and walking away from sessions feeling lighter and more hopeful. Many say Overcomers was the first place therapy actually felt like the right fit — a space to be met with warmth, patience, and genuine care on the path to becoming who they're meant to be.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Serena has not only knowledge, but compassion, understanding, guidance to push through whatever obstacles I have faced, and the advice needed to learn new traits or skills. I’ve definitely had a battle of finding a therapist I not only connect with, but someone I’m comfortable sharing some uncomfortable situations with to help move past. She’s been so very patient with me and my life’s ups and downs. I can’t thank her enough for being so genuine! Has been nothing but a great experience!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I have been with overcomers for years as a therapy patient and recently transfered from a different psychiatrist to Shannon Powell. She made the whole process so simple and seamless. I was honestly expecting things to be a lot more difficult but was pleasantly surprised. Thank you for making me feel so heard and understood! 10/10 stars!

Miranda Puente, LSW
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I feel like she listens to everything I have to say in a non-judgemental way. She remains nuetral and provide valid information as necessary and doesnt feed into my delusions, yet help me escape them step by step. When we are speaking i feel she is very attentive and engage in the conversation(s) at hand. I enjoy how relatable she can be on difficult topics. All I have to say about Miranda is GOAT.
