Therapy Team
Desiree Agee (she/her), LCSW, LAC, Trauma Therapist
Hi, I’m Desiree, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Licensed Addiction Counselor (LAC). I specialize in trauma, addiction recovery, and nervous system regulation, supporting clients in building stability, safety, and meaningful change in their lives.
My approach is collaborative and individualized, meeting you where you are and developing treatment based on your goals, readiness, and lived experience. I draw from evidence-based and experiential modalities including Motivational Interviewing, EMDR, parts work, walk-and-talk therapy, animal-assisted therapy, Acu-Detox/Acu-Wellness, and neurofeedback.
I take a gentle, compassionate, and nonjudgmental approach to therapy, with a focus on creating a safe space where you can show up authentically. I believe healing happens through both insight and the body, so I emphasize mind-body connection and nervous system regulation as part of the therapeutic process.
I work with adults (18+) of any gender identity. Sessions are available in person in Fort Collins, CO, or via telehealth for clients anywhere in Colorado.
Insurance accepted: Colorado Medicaid (all regions), Colorado Medicare, Tri-Care, and private pay (sliding scale available).
Call or text (970) 200-8575 or email intake@hoperoots.org to inquire about availability or schedule a free 15-minute consultation.

Alex Bodie (she/they), MSW, LSW, Trauma Therapist
What’s up, my name is Alex Bodie. I am a licensed social worker (LSW). I completed a Master of Social Work (MSW) program with a specialization in Trauma-Informed Care. As a part of my clinical training, i studied over a year-long period with professor Dr. Matthew Vasquez to learn his body-centered therapeutic approach to trauma treatment called Integrated Somatic Regulation®, which incorporates the latest science regarding trauma and its effects on the brain and body. In 2024, i became certified in Post-Traumatic Growth Somatic Therapy™ with clinician Ruby Jo Walker, LCSW of Southwest Trauma Training. My approach in working with clients includes curiosity, the nervous system, expressive arts, and the belief that healing is a part of our journey that creates opportunities for us to feel more alive.

Garrett Graham, LPCC, Trauma
Therapist
Hi there! My name is Garrett Graham. I’m a clinical mental health counselor holding an LPCC in the state of Colorado. I aim to be a bridge between the alternative mental health world and the clinical counseling world. I do this by being for clients what I saw was missing in the field in the early 2000’s.
I specialize in Gestalt therapy, and draw on other modalities such as Internal Family Systems, Brainspotting, EMDR, and somatic and mindfulness based approaches. I have a wide range of tools to offer to help you achieve mental and emotional stability, optimal well-being, and a greater sense of purpose.

Sarah Joseph, LPC, NCC, Director & Trauma Therapist
I have experience in helping clients develop a mind-body connection - learning how stress, trauma, and emotions are felt and held in the body. My approach allows clients the freedom to explore how their nervous system has adapted to handle trauma and stress throughout their lifetime. This awareness leads to healing and helps facilitate trauma reprocessing. I primarily use EMDR therapy to help clients process the residual imprints of trauma that often cause anxiety, depression, anger issues, and chronic health problems. My main clinical interests are in trauma recovery, attachment-focused therapy, parts work, yoga & mindfulness interventions, Neurofeedback & neuro-therapy. I am the founder and board chair of Hope Roots. In 2019, I relocated to northern Colorado after spending 10 years of my adult life living and working in India.
