Meet Dr. Kylie Sligar | Clinical Psychologist

We had the good fortune of connecting with Dr. Kylie Sligar and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Dr. Kylie, is your business focused on helping the community? If so, how?
My business is a mental health private practice. We are helping the community by providing accessible trauma-informed and culturally-informed mental health treatment. We believe that it is a basic human right to feel safe in our bodies, and that each individual’s uniqueness should be included and celebrated in their mental health care.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
Our business is in its infancy; however All In Bloom Therapy has been a dream for almost a decade. All In Bloom is set apart from other mental health practices through it’s two main values 1. providing trauma-informed & culturally-informed care, and 2. being client-centered. We have no purpose without our clients, thus, AIB really values the uniqueness of each person and provides mental health care tailored to their needs. The two main lessons we have learned in our journey thus far is to be patient, and to always be open to learning. We work in a field in which there is new information and research being acquired each day, and we have to stay up to date and open to doing things in a new / better way at all times. We are still working to get our name out there and to serve the client base we were created to, so patience is definitely key. AIB’s ultimate goal is to provide holistic trauma care in which we can integrate many modalities of treatment under one roof. We may be a small business right now, but we have big ideas that I can’t wait to share with the world!

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
My absolute two favorite places to eat in Colorado would be King’s Chef Diner (breakfast burrito + french toast are to die for and you can take home a jar of their Colorado green chili!!) and Albertacos (you cannot go wrong with the California burrito with green sauce), both are located in Colorado Springs. If you are able, seeing a concert at Red Rocks Amphitheater is a once in a lifetime experience. I personally love the outdoors, and in Colorado you have so many options to be in nature. If you like to hike I recommend taking a trip to Rocky Mountain National Park. If you’d rather work less for amazing views, I would recommend catching the sunset at either Garden of the Gods or Daniel’s Park.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I would like to Shoutout Dallas Therapy Collective, the mental health practice in which I completed my post-doctoral fellowship. DTC is a wonderful practice in Dallas, TX that highlights trauma-informed care and inclusivity. DTC provides a safe place for their clients and their clinicians to learn and participate in trauma-informed mental health care, and specifically have also aided me in my ambitions to start my own practice based closely on the values that DTC practices.

There are too many to name, but so much of how I learn is from reading, so I would also like to Shoutout the diverse authors / teachers / healers I have had the pleasure of reading and learning from- including, but not limited to… Judith Herman, Bessel Van der Kolk, Irvin Yalom, Zabie Yamasaki, Nedra Glover Tawaab, Deb Dana, Brene Brown, and so many more!

Lastly, I’d like to Shoutout my business partner and close friend Haley Lafferty for taking the leap with me and making our dreams come true!
