My Circle meets monthly every:

Hello and welcome to our Sisterhood Circle at Springs Trauma Center. Springs Trauma Center is a trauma-focused therapy practice that offers an eclectic dynamic of counselors who want to help support their community and help others on their healing journey. Spear-headed by one of those very therapists, Labeled & Loved is being welcomed into the heart of the vision of Springs Trauma Center and help improve the lives of those we serve who will inturn, positively impact their families and communities. We will meet every 3rd Tuesday of the month of October through May.

Janet Hise Finan is a Colorado native but has lived in many places as a former military child. Janet has worked in the social work field for over 15 years, helping individuals and families from birth through death, from working early education, such as Head Start, as well as hospice and palliative care. Her main focus during her career has been adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, in this system Janet has held positions from direct care through the director and administrative levels, which directly helps her take a more well-rounded approach to her role as a therapist, and a mother.

Janet is also a parent of a child with specialized needs. Her daughter was diagnosed with Atypical Rett Syndrome later than most kiddos receive their diagnosis, so she spent many years navigating her needs in the dark. As her daughter is dubbed a unicorn and "doesn't look disabled" she has made it a mission to educate her community, advocate for other families, and embrace the title of a special needs mom to help heal the world a little more. While labels are forever a part of this world, Janet wants to show the world that our children are more than a label, and deserve all the love.

Alisha is a mom of two wonderful girls, both with their diverse dynamics and sassy attitudes. Her oldest was diagnosed with Rett Syndrome after Alisha fought for many years to gain a diagnosis for her daughter, so they could gain the medical devices and services that her daughter desperately needed. While her daughter is non-verbal and wheelchair-bound, that doesn't limit her from spending time at her favorite place, with the horses, and experiencing homeschooling in her community, visiting goats, going to community centers, and enjoying all that Colorado Springs has to offer. Alisha  is forever thankful for the connections that being a part of Labeled & Loved has brought her.
