My name is Giomara (Gio) Macias, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and the proud owner of Lumiere Counseling in Centennial, Colorado. I was born and raised in Colorado, and it is deeply meaningful for me to serve the very community that helped shape who I am today.

My path into this field is both professional and personal. I believe in therapy because I have experienced the power of it myself. I have sat on the other side of the couch. I understand what it feels like to be vulnerable, to unpack hard things, and to do the ongoing work of growth and healing. I continue to attend therapy when needed because I believe that self-awareness and emotional wellness are lifelong practices — not destinations.

That lived experience shapes the way I show up for my clients. I do not see therapy as “fixing” someone. I see it as walking alongside individuals, couples, and families as they build insight, resilience, and healthier patterns. I know firsthand that change is possible — even when it feels uncomfortable or overwhelming at first.

I am deeply passionate about my practice and the work I do. Lumiere means “light,” and that word represents what I hope to offer every person who walks through my door: clarity in confusion, steadiness in chaos, and hope in moments that feel heavy.

This work is not just my career — it is a calling. I am committed to creating a safe, compassionate space where clients feel seen, understood, and empowered to grow.
