Biography: Hello, my name is Melissa and I am an MSW and LCSW, with more than 15 years in the mental health field. I graduated with honors in 2005 from Indiana University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology. In 2009, I obtained a master's degree in social work from Indiana-Purdue University. I received my clinical social work license from the state of Indiana in 2011 and then from the state of Colorado in 2015 after I traded in cornfields for mountains. Over the last 15 years I've been lucky enough to work with a lot of different populations in many different settings. I sort of feel like I've done it all, like if the mental health field was a menu I've ordered almost everything on it. I hope that means that I bring many years of well-rounded experience to the table. A famous author once said, "The most important things are the hardest to say because words diminish them. Words shrink things that seemed limitless when they were in your head to no more than living size when they are brought out." That's why I'm so glad you're here. Therapy and talking to someone about your fears and anxieties and other things you're going through can be really helpful. Those thoughts and feelings that seem really overwhelming? You may realize they are actually pretty tiny when we bring them into the light and take an honest look. Or maybe they're not. Maybe they're as big as you thought they might be. And, we can do something about those, too. My therapy style is a relaxed mix of CBT (thinking about thinking), DBT, solution-focused, and motivational dialogue. But, maybe the most important thing to know up front is that therapy and therapists are not a one size fits all'. If we talk and you decide I'm not quite what you need, that is absolutely okay because you are the most important part of this process. You are the driver. This is your time to get to know yourself better in a safe and confidential space so that you can live a life that feels like it's really yours. I'm really glad you're here.

Biography: Hello, and thanks for wanting to learn more about me. My name is Neville Harson, and I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Colorado. I've been a practicing therapist for over 15 years, and have practiced therapy in a variety of settings. I've worked with teens, adults and seniors; people who were ready to make a change in their lives, people who were going through difficult transitions. My goal is to co-create a working relationship with you where personal transformation is possible. I don't have a "one-size-fits-all" approach to therapy. I meet clients where they are, and recognize that at different times, and for different people, different approaches are needed. The approach I use most often is Cognitive-Behavioral. What that means is that I'll be asking you not only how you think and feel about an event or person, but what you tell yourself about it. I find it most helpful to assess a client's strengths, rather than to diagnose their problems. I can also take a solution-focused approach. This is an approach where we focus on one problem, and without going too deep, we come up with a solution or resolution to that problem. At times, I wear a more traditional therapist hat, asking questions and encouraging you to explore your thoughts, feelings and actions. I may also act as a coach, giving you encouragement and providing emotional support as you do what it takes to make changes in your life. I can be direct, calling you on your old patterns when I see them. I can also listen and witness when you are in the vulnerable place of speaking from your heart. Your goals are important to me! In my non-therapist life, I am a musician and photographer, and have a wide appreciation for the arts. If you are someone who considers yourself to be creative in any way, I'd love to work with you. Creative people often "get" other creative people--the way we move through the world in a slightly different way, and the creative challenges we set up for ourselves.

Care Philosophy: Due to his wealth of experience in acute psychiatric settings, Brannon treats a variety of chronic and persistent mental illness such as Schizophrenia, Bipolar, PTSD, Major Depression, Dissociative Disorders, ADHD, and Anxiety Disorders. In addition, he works with individuals suffering from substance abuse and addiction problems, as well as, with those with bereavement and grief issues. Brannon also offers couple, marital, and family counseling. In terms of a theoretical approach, Mr. Pruet utilizes an eclectic fusion of Cognitive Behavioral, Client-Centered, Experiential, and Solution-Focused methodologies. He offers significant trauma -based treatments in his practice, including Eye-Movement Desensitization And Reprocessing (EMDR). Most importantly, Brannon's Christian faith forms the foundation of his practice. Thus, he adopts a biblical worldview and believes that nurturing the spirit is integral to healing both the body and the mind.

Biography: Hi, My name is Randee. "Don't Settle for Crumbs When You Can Have the Whole Cake" I am here to help you get the whole cake; be it having your voice, setting boundaries, honoring feelings, communicating clearly, achieving balance, feeling empowered, maintaining healthy relationships, and more. I am also here if you are feeling anxious, angry, depressed, experiencing PTSD, and more. I am also versed in teaching parenting skills, stages of life transitions, and grief and loss. Teaching you healthy communication skills will lead to positive behavior changes. My background is Family Systems. When I work with people I work at 3 different levels. Intra Psychically which is how you individually think, feel and behave. Inter-personally, how you are in relationships. And Multi-generationally, patterns of behavior you learned from your parents that you want to unlearn or keep those that suit you. I believe we are all born with invisible buckets inside of us. When we don't get our feelings met, we put them in the bucket. Over time, our buckets get full; we put another feeling into the bucket and it overflows. This is when people come to seek help. You might have feelings originating from 10 years ago, or only 2 days ago. Feelings don't have time clocks and they don't have intellect (otherwise they would be thoughts). We will work on feelings from your past and feelings from your present; they are still real. I honor people's feelings and their need not to feel feelings so if something is too overwhelming we'll go a little bit at a time. Goals in therapy will be set by you. I see myself as a light at the end of the tunnel. I won't push you through or pull you through; I'll walk with you. I give homework assignments for accountability and will teach you techniques, both of which are tailor-made for you. The most difficult thing in life is to feel. When you are feeling, you really are at your strongest. Therapy is the journey towards empowerment, changing behaviors, and getting your needs met. Starting therapy is a huge step and if you've come to this site, you have already taken your first step. I am happy to be your partner along this journey.
