Jazzmin Hurst, LSW MidnightSunWellnessCO@gmail.com

I am passionate about evidence-based therapy for individuals navigating life’s challenges. As a licensed social worker in Colorado and Illinois, I bring a deep commitment to supporting diverse populations, including BIPOC individuals, LGBTQIA+, at-risk youth, veterans, those experiencing significant change, individuals in substance use recovery, and those experiencing crisis.

I hold two undergraduate degrees from Michigan State University (Go Green!) and a Master of Social Work from Simmons University, with specialized certifications in child welfare, Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI), and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), among others. My clinical focus includes PTSD, ADHD, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and conduct disorders, with a strong emphasis on trauma-informed care and crisis intervention.

I believe healing happens in spaces that feel safe, honest, and even a little lighthearted. I bring a supportive and upfront approach to therapy, combining directness, warmth, and a good sense of humor. At the heart of my practice is collaboration—I work alongside my clients to help them process their experiences, set meaningful goals, and build the life they envision. Utilizing Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and a Solution-Focused approach, I guide individuals in reshaping their narratives, identifying strengths, and cultivating resilience for a healthier future.

When I’m not working, I love spending time with my family, traveling, enjoying time in my home state of Michigan, soaking up Michigan lake life, hanging out with my pets, attending museums and cultural events, listening to music, and discovering new culinary experiences.

If you’re looking for a compassionate, down-to-earth therapist who is ready to support you with honesty and humor, I’d love to walk alongside you on your journey to healing and growth.I specialize in ADHD, Men’s Issues and Parenting  (more coming)
