About Kerry Stutzman, MSW, LMFT

Finding Your Inner Peace

The focus of my work is on helping you develop the skill you need to thrive in relationships and establish a kind, empathetic inner voice.

During our sessions, we can focus on individual work, relationship challenges, and/or parenting skills. We won’t be afraid to talk about the hard stuff, and we’ll also focus on your strengths and how to amplify them. I have a special place in my heart for moms ready to find more calm and inner-peace, couples stressed by parenting challenges, parents of ’tweens/teens, and blended and divorcing families.

I became a Marriage and Family Therapist in 2008 and earned my license (LMFT) in 2014. Working with me, parents can realize their dream of creating a close, connected family with effective parenting skills, healthy relationships, and self-awareness. I work primarily with individuals (high school and older), couples, and families with tweens and teens.

Whether I wanted to or not, I gained expertise in the impact of divorce on kids and blended families. I have been qualified as an expert witness on parenting in eight judicial districts in Colorado. I have a special place in my heart for couples navigating divorce and remarriage with their kids’ well-being front and center in their minds.

As a mom of three and a stepmom of three more, I understand the complexities of family life. Let’s embark on a journey to deeper, more fulfilling connections that will reignite the spark in your relationships and help you embrace a more vibrant, fully alive version of yourself.

When I’m not working, I explore the country and Canada in my RV, soak up time with family and friends, hike, bike, play tennis and seek discovery, nature, and adventure.

Introducing Care for the Kids

A Collaboration with my son, Palmer

Are Your Kids OK?

Helping Parents Protect the Mental Health of Teens

I collaborate with my son Palmer, a youth resilience coach and marriage and family therapist, combining my therapy background with his unique perspective as someone who grew up through divorce. We’re passionate about helping families navigate this challenging journey while safeguarding kids’ mental health. Our work together includes:

Drop your email below to be first to know when our course launches! We’ve poured everything we’ve learned about helping kids thrive (not just survive) through divorce into this comprehensive resource for parents.

How to Get Started

Let's Connect

I care deeply about quality of service. Let’s have a good, old-fashioned chat and see if I’m the right fit for what you need. I offer a complimentary 25-minute Zoom discovery call. If you choose to move forward, you can schedule your first online or in-person therapy session. So easy. 😊

Discovery Call Request

The best way to find out if we’re a fit to work together is to have a good old-fashioned conversation. I offer 25-minute complimentary, no-pressure chats so we can meet each other. On our call, I’ll ask you questions about your goals and be honest about whether I can help. If we both think it’s a good fit, you can schedule your first online or in-person therapy session. So easy. 

I look forward to talking with you!
