Why Life’s Hope Was Founded
Life’s Hope Therapeutic Services is more than just a mental health practice; it is a beacon of hope, a testament to compassion, and a driving force for positive change. Established in 2014, our journey began with a singular mission: to bridge the gap in mental health care for those with Colorado Medicaid. Over the years, our dedication has only grown stronger, and we’ve expanded our services to include a wide range of insurance options, ensuring that no one is left without the support they need.
We believe in the profound impact that mental health wellness can have on individuals and communities alike. It’s not just about providing therapy; it’s about fulfilling a personal responsibility to uplift the very communities we serve. At Life’s Hope, we embrace a trauma-informed approach, recognizing the importance of understanding and healing the scars that life may have left behind.
Our commitment goes beyond the clinic doors. We see ourselves as stewards of mental health wellness in Colorado. We are driven by a sense of duty to advance the cause of mental well-being, working tirelessly to remove barriers and create pathways for individuals to access the support and care they deserve. We understand that mental health is not a privilege; it’s a fundamental right, and we are here to ensure that right is realized for all.
Every day, we stand ready to make a positive impact, to bring hope where it’s needed most, and to empower individuals to lead happier, healthier lives. Life’s Hope Therapeutic Services is not just a practice; it’s a lifeline, a source of strength, and a catalyst for change. Join us on this journey as we continue to build a brighter, more mentally healthy future for Colorado, one person and one community at a time. Together, we can transform lives and make a lasting difference.

Dr. Christina L. Murphy, PhD, LPC, NCC, ACS, CPP
Dr. Christina L. Murphy is the Founder, Owner, CEO, and Clinical Director of Life’s Hope Therapeutic Services PLLC. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor, Approved Clinical Supervisor, counselor educator, researcher, published author, and experienced executive leader with nearly 20 years of experience in the mental health and nonprofit sectors.

Throughout her career, she has demonstrated a commitment to strengthening mental health services, developing counselors, supporting families, and creating organizations where both clients and clinicians can thrive.
She is the co-author of The Empowerment Model of Clinical Supervision, a model designed to strengthen counselor development through empowerment, professional growth, and supportive clinical supervision.

Executive Leadership & Professional Experience
Before founding Life’s Hope Therapeutic Services, Dr. Murphy served as President and CEO of Griffith Centers for Children for more than four years. During her approximately 15 years with the organization, she held various clinical, administrative, and executive leadership positions, overseeing programs dedicated to serving vulnerable children, families, and communities.
Her leadership experience includes organizational development, program implementation, clinical quality improvement, strategic planning, and the development of sustainable mental health services. She also earned certification as an Executive Director and was invited to join Chief, a professional network for executive women, in April 2022.
Clinical Experience & Philosophy
Throughout her clinical career, Dr. Murphy has worked extensively with children, adolescents, adults, and families facing complex emotional, behavioral, and relational challenges.
Her early clinical experience focused on children involved with social service agencies, particularly those at risk of out-of-home placement or entering foster care. This work shaped her strong commitment to family preservation, family systems, and the belief that meaningful, lasting change often requires supporting the entire family rather than focusing solely on one individual.
Dr. Murphy believes that children do not exist in isolation from their environments and relationships. Her approach emphasizes understanding the whole person, strengthening family connections, and helping individuals and families develop the skills necessary for lasting emotional wellness.
Her clinical experience also includes working with adolescents and adults experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, family conflict, and significant life transitions. She is passionate about helping individuals recognize their strengths, overcome challenges, and discover hope and healing.
Clinical Supervision, Research & Counselor Education
With approximately 15 years of clinical supervision experience, Dr. Murphy is deeply committed to developing confident, competent, and ethical mental health professionals.
As an Approved Clinical Supervisor, she has dedicated much of her professional career to mentoring counselors, strengthening clinical skills, and helping emerging professionals develop the confidence and independence necessary for effective clinical practice.
Her work as a researcher and co-author of The Empowerment Model of Clinical Supervision reflects her belief that effective supervision must extend beyond administrative oversight to include professional empowerment, accountability, cultural responsiveness, and intentional counselor development.
Through her teaching, research, writing, and clinical leadership, Dr. Murphy continues to advocate for supervision practices that strengthen counselors while ultimately improving the quality of care provided to clients and families.
The Vision Behind Life’s Hope
Dr. Murphy founded Life’s Hope Therapeutic Services PLLC with a vision of creating a mental health practice that prioritizes both exceptional client care and the well-being of the counselors providing that care.
Drawing upon her extensive clinical and executive leadership experience, she recognized that high-quality mental health treatment requires more than skilled clinicians. It also requires an organizational environment that promotes professional development, reasonable caseload expectations, ongoing supervision, collaboration, and meaningful support.
At Life’s Hope, this philosophy is reflected in a practice model designed to provide individualized, compassionate, and evidence-informed mental health services to children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families.
Dr. Murphy believes that when counselors are supported, empowered, and equipped to succeed, clients receive better care. This philosophy continues to guide the organization’s approach to counselor development, clinical supervision, service delivery, and organizational leadership.
At the heart of Dr. Murphy’s work is a simple belief: everyone deserves access to hope, healing, and the opportunity to thrive.

Juliet Anosike
I bring a warm, compassionate, and culturally responsive approach to supporting individuals, couples, and families through difficult seasons of life. I especially enjoy working with clients navigating relationship challenges, family conflict, trauma, domestic violence, women’s concerns, and major life transitions. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and supported as we work toward greater stability and healthier relationships.
My professional journey includes more than a decade of pediatric and post-surgical clinical care, which has given me a deep appreciation for the connection between emotional well-being, relationships, family, and overall health. I hold degrees in Applied Psychology and Microbiology and am pursuing my Master’s in Mental Health Counseling with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy at Colorado Christian University.

My approach combines evidence-based counseling with an understanding that every person’s relationships, culture, experiences, and values are an important part of their story. Together, we’ll identify your strengths, develop practical coping skills, and work toward meaningful changes that support you and the relationships that matter most.
My Christian faith is an important part of who I am, and for clients who desire it, faith can be thoughtfully incorporated into our work together. Wherever you are in your journey, you don’t have to carry it alone. I would be honored to walk alongside you as you move toward healing, restoration, and a renewed sense of hope.
Mary Wiles
I believe therapy should be meaningful, practical, and, when the moment calls for it, even a little fun. Life can be overwhelming enough on its own, and I don’t think working through it has to feel intimidating.
I enjoy working with people who are ready to make changes but may not know exactly where to begin. Anxiety, depression, stress, and major life transitions can make it difficult to see the bigger picture, especially when your thoughts seem to be running in a hundred different directions. That’s where I come in. I like helping people sort through the noise, identify what matters most, and come up with a game plan that actually makes sense for their lives.
I earned my Master of Social Work from Walden University, but my experience working with people began well before graduate school. I’ve worked in geriatric caregiving, provided therapy during my private practice internship, and supported neurodivergent children as a Registered Behavior Technician. Each of those experiences taught me something different about patience, communication, resilience, and the importance of recognizing people’s individual strengths.
Learn More
In therapy, I’m big on collaboration. I want to hear your perspective, understand your goals, and help you develop practical tools that you can take with you long after our session ends. We’ll work on building healthier routines, improving communication, and finding ways to approach challenges with more confidence.
And yes, there will probably be moments when we laugh. I believe there’s room for both serious conversations and a little levity in the process of growing. Sometimes an authentic smile is just as important as having a solid plan.
Ivan Korolev
What matters most to me is that you feel heard and accepted without judgment. I’m not here to tell you who you should become. I want to help you recognize the strengths you already have and learn how to use them in ways that make a meaningful difference in your life. Over the years, I’ve learned that people are often capable of much more than they give themselves credit for. Sometimes it takes encouragement, a different perspective, or someone willing to sit with you through a difficult moment to begin recognizing that strength.
I work with children, adolescents, athletes, adults, and families experiencing anxiety, depression, emotional distress, performance pressure, relationship challenges, and life transitions. I hold a Master’s degree in Sport and Performance Psychology from the University of Western States and am continuing my graduate education in Clinical Mental Health Counseling as a counselor-in-training in Colorado.

My background has given me the opportunity to support people in very different circumstances. I’ve spent over four years working on the Colorado Crisis Line, helping individuals navigate intense emotions, difficult situations, and moments of uncertainty. I’ve also spent nearly a decade coaching, where I’ve seen how confidence, motivation, and the ability to manage pressure can influence so many areas of a person’s life.
Those experiences have shaped the way I approach counseling. I understand the importance of staying calm when things feel overwhelming, but I also believe in helping people take practical steps toward the changes they want to see.
I don’t believe there’s one approach that works for everyone. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and other evidence-based approaches depending on what each person needs. Some sessions may focus on understanding emotions or patterns, while others may involve developing coping strategies, setting goals, or finding ways to manage the challenges of everyday life.
