Are you living the life you envisioned?
Are critical thoughts, self-doubt, or fear flooding your inner world?
Is your sex journey not what you hoped it would be?
Do you feel like you are burning the candle at every possible end, yet it never seems to be enough?
You might have a hard time relaxing or being in the moment. You may lack the motivation to do the things you used to enjoy. Or your relationships with coworkers, friends, or family members are going through a challenging period. Exhaustion, isolation, and overwhelming emotions might kick in.
Facing hurdles is natural—you are only human! But you don’t have to settle or pretend things are ok.
You deserve support to heal, feel at ease, and find a way to accomplish your goals.
Awaken and Reclaim Your Authentic Self
I founded Empowered Path Counseling and Coaching to do just that—EMPOWER you to take ownership of your authentic self and leverage the strength and solutions you’ve always had within.
I provide in-person therapy for women and sex therapy for individuals and couples in Fort Collins, Loveland, Wellington, Windsor, and Timnath. I also offer these services all around Colorado and Wyoming via online therapy.
Seeking counseling is a difficult yet brave decision—I know because I’ve done it. It opens the door to valuable insight, guidance, and resources to create lasting change.
Let’s collaborate and venture on a quest of discovery, healing, and growth to build the future you dream of.
Empowering You With…
Therapy for Women
You constantly show up for everyone else, sometimes putting their demands ahead of your well-being. But are you showing up for yourself? Let’s work together to regain your voice, identify negative patterns, and embrace better habits. We’ll also uncover what’s behind your struggles and learn skills to manage them—whether it’s stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or other problems.
Sex Therapy
Sexual challenges in performance, intimacy, satisfaction, or function, may prevent you from enjoying sex and connecting with yourself or your partner(s). Therapy can help you pinpoint and address what’s hindering your sexual journey with sincerity and compassion. You’ll increase your awareness and confidence to tune into your needs, communicate them to others, and start relishing your unique sex life.
EMDR Therapy
Pain and loss can stay with you longer than you might realize, affecting your ability to work, love, play, and tackle daily activities. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (also known as EMDR therapy) is an effective yet non-invasive treatment that taps into your brain’s natural recovery capacity to ease your nervous system. It supports you to reprocess unresolved memories and relieve the devastating effects of trauma.

About Kristen
My name is M. Kristen Cochran-Ward—the M. is for Michelle, but only my grandparents call me that, so let’s skip it! I’m a licensed clinical social worker and sex therapist offering therapy for women and couples (mostly 25+ years old) living in Colorado.
My treatment specialties include women’s issues, sexual challenges, trauma, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, body image concerns, eating disorders, parenting, life transitions, and more.
I’ve been in the behavioral health field for over 20 years and counting. My goal is to uplift you to utilize the light you already have inside of you to pave your path forward.
Why Work With Me as Your Therapist?
I welcome adults of any race, cultural background, gender identity, sexual orientation, relationship status, and lifestyle. This is a private and non-judgmental place for you (and your partner(s)) to arrive as you are to safely explore and evolve.
I’m trained in multiple therapy methods, such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), solution-focused behavioral therapy (SFBT), EMDR therapy, internal family systems, and many others. Depending on your situation and therapeutic objectives, I will draw from different approaches and adjust treatment as you progress.
I welcome clients in person and online—and if our schedules don’t currently match up, I keep an active waitlist to work together in the future. While I rather see you in person, teletherapy offers convenient, flexible, and confidential access to counseling, so please choose what suits you and you and your loved ones.
If you decide to attend sessions at the office, you’ll be greeted by a warm space and my furry associates, Lucy and Daisy. And no matter where we meet, I’ll be there with a kind smile, cozy attire, and a friendly spirit.
