I am a Clinical Social Worker and therapist specializing in trauma, attachment, identity, and LGBTQIA+ issues for adults. With nearly four years of experience in both higher levels of care and outpatient settings, I work with adults of all backgrounds to help you build a more compassionate and full view of yourself so you can face life's challenges more effectively. I believe collaboration is the foundation of healing. This is your treatment and your therapy, and it should be approached in a way that truly works for you. I look forward to finding that healing and a new sense of self together with you. You have the right to self-determination, and my approach centers on collaboration and empowerment to help you achieve just that. As the expert in your own life, what often helps most is seeing things from a different perspective. I draw on a range of therapeutic modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems, and narrative therapy, adjusting my approach based on your current needs rather than following one rigid method. My style balances honesty and directness with compassion and gentleness, and I'm always willing to adjust and regularly check in on how I can be most effective for you. My path to becoming a therapist began with my own journey of seeking to answer questions about who I am and whether I could actually heal. Approaching myself with both honesty and love, I've found, is the path to both of those things. I hope to help you find yourself in new and exciting ways, too. I love sketching and playing guitar, and singing is a big part of my life. I also enjoy hiking, thrift shopping, and dancing.

Amanda’s career began working as a psychiatric nurse on the inpatient unit at Denver Health. While at Denver Health she worked with children, adolescents and adults who were in acute crisis, needing assistance with emotional and behavioral needs. In addition, Amanda has worked in home health, providing psychiatric care in the patient’s home which allowed for a smooth transition from the hospital. Amanda provides integrative care, working with the patient’s health care provider and therapist. She believes in a holistic treatment approach to provide optimal health and overall wellness, and she practices evidence-based treatment. Amanda believes medication plays an important role in wellness and mental health. Her treatment goals include providing improved quality of life and she is eager to work with patients who are motivated to make personal changes. “It is important to me to develop a therapeutic relationship with my patients to provide the best care. I respect and encourage my patients to be involved in their treatment as I feel this provides the best outcome for the patient. Being a mom, I understand the importance of working with not just the patient, but also with the family to provide the best care. I enjoy working in the out-patient setting, for it allows me to see long-term improvements in wellness and mental health”
As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP), I collaborate with adult patients to address mental health issues with and without medications. My diverse bedside experience spans oncology, perinatal, hospice, psychiatric, and military veteran populations, allowing me to help optimize your quality of life. That collaboration is grounded in compassion and open-mindedness, which allow me to be a patient-centered team member for you. I recognize that I specialize in one piece of your life, but the rest of the pieces are equally important to reaching our mutual goals for optimal mental health. While I specialize in medication management, I recognize this is only part of the picture, so your care is holistic, collaborative, and built around you. I explore both pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic options, making sure you have every piece of information you need to protect your safety and your quality of life along the way. Mind, body, and spirit all factor into how I think about treatment, because you're a whole person walking through this, not a symptom list. That whole-person lens shapes what our work together looks like day to day. Expect an open-minded and patient-centered space where Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques give us a supportive structure to build on. Your lived experience, mental health goals, and physical health goals shape your c are, because your path here is yours. My path to becoming a mental health nurse practitioner began with my own journey through healthcare as a bedside nurse. Along the way, I gained deep and meaningful perspectives helping people through the most vulnerable, life-changing moments, from birth to death and everything in between, moments that can feel terrifying but can be transformed into meaningful ones with the right support and listening. My own mother is a counselor, which gave me a promising view of the changes that can be made when people are given mental health support. Therapy was part of my path too, allowing me to reflect on and review my attachments, creating space for the big, interesting life I always wanted to have. These experiences emphasized to me the importance of processing our experiences, which is now more imperative than ever given how fast life can change. Healing to build resilience in the face of stress means you can be present for your life, your family, and yourself. I love to dance, do yoga, and hike, and always make time to hang out with my cat. Watercolor painting is another favorite of mine, and I'm the first to say yes to a themed party. I'm also a self-proclaimed movie buff — movies, movies, movies! — and I love cheering on my nephew whenever he's playing a sport.
Sarah believes each of us possess an inner strength and wisdom that when discovered can open us up to a world of possibilities. Using a compassionate and empowering treatment approach, she will work side-by-side with you to help you live life with more intention and vitality. Sarah believes in working with you as a whole person mind, body and spirit. With that in mind, she’ll use a holistic perspective, drawing from a variety of empowering and evidence-based treatment approaches including but not limited to Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Somatic Based Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to tailor a healing plan best suited to your needs.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Yoga Teacher (E-RYT), she has experience working with a wide array of presenting concerns and specializes in working with adults who present with trauma/PTSD, anxiety/panic and depression.

I am a therapist specializing in a wide range of concerns, including ADHD, anxiety, depression, identity issues, LGBTQIA+ identity and relationships, life transitions, men's health, relationship issues, self-esteem, sexual health, stress management, and student mental health — working with patients of all ages. With more than eight years of experience in direct care mental health settings and a background as a former educator, I bring a unique perspective to the therapeutic relationship. I believe that healing is a collaborative process and am committed to working alongside people from all walks of life to help you navigate your challenges and discover solutions that are right for you. My practice is founded on evidence-based and integrative modalities, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), humanistic, and collaborative approaches. Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method, I tailor therapy to meet you where you are. My goal is to create a space where processing your experiences, build new understanding, and work toward meaningful goals all come together, so that every session moves you forward in a way that feels both grounded and purposeful. My path to becoming a therapist grew naturally out of my work as an educator. Many of my former students sought me out specifically, recognizing that they needed someone to direct and honest with them about their patterns and behaviors. Being surrounded by therapists throughout that time, I found myself continually inspired by the depth and impact of their work. That inspiration led me here. Today, I bring that same directness into the therapy room, helping you explore how your feelings and emotions connect to your history and how patterns, often without our awareness. By shining a light on those cycles, we can begin to understand them and, together, find a new way forward. Outside of the office, you can find me practicing hot yoga, spending time outdoors, playing video games, making art, or catching up on reality TV. These varied interests keep me grounded and remind me of the importance of joy, creativity, and rest, all values I bring into my work with you.

As an experienced, compassionate clinician specializing in liberation psychology, my work centers on helping people from all backgrounds navigate complex trauma and the very real weight of systemic and interpersonal oppression. While I have a particular focus on supporting adolescents, young adults, and adults from underserved and disenfranchised communities, my door is open to anyone ready to do this work. Transparent, empathetic communication is at the heart of how I connect with the people I work with. Genuine connection matters to me and, together, we'll explore both the past and the future in a space built on trust and honesty. My passion lies in liberation from both personal trauma and systems that perpetuate harm. By taking a patient-centered and collaborative approach centered in collective action, I create the calm and intentional environment that allows you to achieve just that. Together, we'll move through experiences of intense trauma and symptoms of struggle in a way that’s tailored to your unique understanding, experiences, and needs. We accomplish this through psychoeducation paired with somatic and cognitive engagement, with a particular specialization in body-focused healing. Whatever we work through, my style stays gently direct and centered on the best path forward for you. My path to becoming a therapist began with my own mental health experiences and the journey I’ve taken to find my way through them. That path deepened my commitment to patient-centered care rooted in reclaiming a sense of control and agency. Bringing my own humanness into each session isn't something I shy away from; it's something I believe makes the work more real, more honest, and more meaningful for you. Skiing, rock climbing, and good company with even better friends are some of my favorite ways to recharge. A love of video games and coffee keeps things interesting, and growing up on the coast left me with a deep connection to the ocean that never quite fades.
This Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner offers high quality, individualized psychiatric care. Hilary has a gentle and encouraging communication style that helps her clients to recognize their strengths and find a path toward mental wellbeing.

I work with you to not just understand what's going on, but also to develop tools to help. Tools to stop panic attacks, tools to manage depression, tools to get organized and figure out what you want in life. We work together to see what works reliably for you. In addition to talking things through, in session and between sessions sometimes you might be writing, sometimes trying a challenging behavior change, sometimes engaging in mindfulness, and sometimes using visualizations. My aim is for you to feel better, and to know what to do to keep feeling better or help yourself if problems resurface. And I try to work efficiently with you, so you are back to your life (and ending therapy) as soon as makes sense for you. Give me a call to set up an initial (free) conversation, at 303-870-9195.
I am open to working with individuals of all ages, including children. I particularly enjoy helping young adults navigate life transitions, identity development, and relationships. Many of my clients are seeking clarity, stability, and a stronger sense of self as they move through uncertain or demanding periods of life. I specialize in athletes who often come seeking support with performance anxiety, confidence, motivation, or recovering from injury or burnout. Their goals typically go beyond just improving performance—they want to feel mentally strong, consistent, and aligned with their values both on and off the field/court/ice.

High Mountain Counseling's mission is to change the very face of mental health by providing high quality clinical care while simultaneously breaking stereotypes that have often plagued therapists and the mental health community; ultimately to open a door of exploration to each person of what it means to be human.
I am originally from California, but have called Colorado (Denver) my home for the last thirteen years. While I do miss the ocean, I love being in the mountains and all they have to offer. When I am not working, I am often playing in my garden, doing something in the kitchen, spending time with friends and family, or traveling. I am the same person during session as I am outside of session; laid back, a little goofy, genuinely curious about others’ lives, and compassionate. I use she/her pronouns. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Licensed Addiction Counselor (LAC) and am licensed to see clients in Colorado, Indiana, Florida and Nevada. I have been practicing therapy since 2013 and truly enjoy working with my clients. I love learning about how trauma and stress can impact our minds, bodies and nervous systems and the ways we can heal and start to feel better. I am a Certified Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapist as well as a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP). I often use a mixture of EMDR, Somatic Experiencing (SE), attachment, parts focused, and mindfulness techniques to help clients begin to unpack stressful or traumatic events and begin to integrate a sense of healing back into their minds and bodies. These techniques can be helpful for clients struggling with anxiety and depression symptoms, who have experienced one or more traumatic events, substance use, emotion regulation, or uncomfortable body sensations.
