My experiences with Dr. Walters were very positive. She was an empathetic listener who helped me process things without judgement. She listened to my ideas and helped me look for paths/solutions moving forward. She also stressed nonjudgement of the self, which was something I needed. Overall, I think she was a good fit, a good therapist, and highly recommend her to others.

Hi!
My name is Dr. Colby Walters. I am a graduate from Baylor University with a BA in psychology and a minor in sociology. I have a MS in marriage and family therapy and a PhD in advanced studies of human behavior, both from Capella University. In my main practice, I work with trauma survivors. I am trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) trained and Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) certified. I have been counseling for 6 years.
I have worked with clients with a wide range of presenting issues including depression, PTSD, anxiety, relationship issues, and emotional, physical, and sexual abuse.
I am a warm and laid back counselor. I treat everyone with respect and will not judge. Seeking help is a huge step towards your healing. Let me help you!

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Dr. Walters has been working with me for a while now, and I have found that with her guidance and input I am better able to deal and cope with the challenges in my life. Is is always willing to listen and give her perspective, to allow me to see things in a different light.
Dr. Walters is amazing! We have such a great relationship. I had a previous counselor before who I didn’t feel a connection with and it was hard to communicate but Dr. Walters matches up with me perfectly! She’s like a friend who’s willing to listen and help and that’s EXACTLY what I wanted. She replies to my texts in a timely manner, makes time to schedule sessions with me outside of her availability and shares her experiences with me. I’ve definitely improved because of her. Love her.
Dr. Walters is an awesome therapist. She's very supportive and understanding. Any nerves I had about seeking support was gone after our first session.
Dr. Walters was super supportive and responsive. Her guidance allowed me to gain a perspective that I was lacking, which in turn brought me to the beginnings of learning how to love myself.
Dr. Walters has change my life in such a short time and I am forever grateful. She was very attentive and engaging with me throughout our sessions and always provided me with a sense of comfort and freedom to speak honestly without fear. I can tell that she is passionate about her work and only wants to see others succeed and heal. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a laid back, down to earth, great listener on their side!
She is truly a kind, genuine person who takes the time to get to know you and finds ways to assist you. I highly recommend her.
Only been with Dr. Walters for a few weeks now, but I'm confident this was a good decision! Dr. Walters is very warm, kind, and relatable. 10/10 would recommend. I'm here for career counseling primarily, but I would be comfortable talking about other things as well.
Dr. Walters has been extremely supportive and responsive. She is able to understand without judgment, while also challenging issues with a more positive perspective. It is a rarity that someone is able to join logic, hope, and understanding in regards to mental health issues. She is not over joyous, to the point of hallmark cards, but leaves a positive impression to carry with you day-to-day. She applies logic to things that seem unreasonable, without making it seem like an excuse. Her ability to understand situations she has not experienced herself, is remarkable. Though she is not hesitant to express things that she herself cannot imagine (i.e. the loss of a child, ect.). I consider myself lucky to have been paired with Dr. Walters.
