Chris Howard, MA, LPCC

The more we feel the need to change, the more we can become painfully critical of ourselves and the people around us, which often makes it harder to evolve. I’ll help you experience your life and relationships with greater compassion and curiosity, softening your growing edges with kindness, so things can more easily start to shift.

 

To lean into the more painful parts of your life story takes bravery, honesty and a sense of adventure, and I'll provide warmth, acceptance and guidance as we navigate the journey ahead. I work with a wide range of therapeutic approaches, utilizing exercises and techniques you can use outside of our sessions, emphasizing attainable goals and encouraging long-term integration.

 

You’ll find me to be creative and collaborative, zooming out the lens to include your whole way of being, allowing for greater awareness of your unique strengths so you can best meet any restrictions that currently feel in the way.

Marisa Lucia Mestas Duey MA, LPCC

Choosing to embark on your healing journey can feel daunting, but you don’t have to walk it alone. With an intention in creating a safe, collaborative space, I welcome you to explore all of your experiences through a lens of compassion and acceptance. In building an authentic sense of trust and connection, together, we can honor all parts of your path, wherever that may lead.

 

With values tied to the power of human connection, and honoring diverse perspectives, I aim to foster an environment tailored to your unique individualized healing journey.
 

My approach to counseling is rooted in fostering the internal capacities that you already
possess, towards self-awareness, growth, and healing. I lean into Relational Cultural Theory (RCT), that supports dismantling the historical harm that can be experienced in our societal
systems.

In addition to working with adults, I work with children and adolescents.

 

I look forward to being on a healing journey together.

Zachary Gart, MA LPCC

Relationships are the source of our greatest joys and some of our deepest pains. We need connection and fulfilling relationships with others and at the same time struggle with the wounds that have stacked up in childhood and overtime. The result of this bind can show up as prolonged challenges in relationships, recurring conflicts and patterns, depression, anxiety, and a deep sense of aloneness. My approach integrates relational skills across different modalities and styles of therapy to best fit your relationship and your goals in connection. My style is trauma-oriented, direct, compassionate and mindful. 

 

I help people in relationships: 

  • Discover and implement tools to effectively communicate and navigate conflict

  • Experience more trust and emotional intimacy

  • Communicate honestly and effectively

  • Use inevitable conflicts in relationships as opportunities to get needs met and grow closer

  • Reach their individual and relationship goals to move themselves forward in life

  • Heal their deeper relational challenges to lay a new foundation for safety in connection

  • Reconnect to sexuality and intimacy as nourishing, fun and pleasurable

  • Discover a pathway of relationship that feels fun and playful again

  • Enjoy their relationship as an integral part of growth

Devon Edwards, MA, LPCC

Integrated holistic healing is not unidimensional, nor could it be. The concept of integrated healing is one which encompasses the whole. That being the mind, body and spirit of an individual. As an integrated health coach and mental health counselor, this is not simply my job, but my calling and deepest passion. Helping guide individuals who seek a deeper understanding of their inherent sense of wholeness, freedom and liveliness. As a former collegiate athlete, personal trainer, and integrated health coach, responsibility and overcoming adversity are in my blood. These experiences matched with the teachings found at Naropa University allow me to bring forth an alternative approach to mental health counseling.

Matt Bynum MA, LPC

 Sometimes our conditioned tendencies prevent us from living the life we want to live. I believe therapy can be a laboratory, of sorts, to explore these obstacles and learn to live more in line with one’s desired values. I use humor, trust, and a genuine relationship so that you can cultivate the skills necessary to improve the quality of your life. I work with individuals from a variety of backgrounds with issues ranging from grief and loss, shame and guilt, life transitions, anxiety, and substance use. My work is influenced by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), experiential therapies, existential therapy, and a variety of mindfulness practices. I will work with you to help explore obstacles, and reconnect to a life of healing, vitality, and purpose.

Change is inevitable, yet that does not mean that it is easy, particularly for those that have had trauma in their lives. These changes might include career, grief, life transition or in relationships. I am dedicated to helping individuals cope with the aftermath that trauma can have. I utilize an interactive and multi-cultural approach to understand each person's unique perspective. As a therapist, I integrate various evidence based techniques including EMDR, CBT, somatic experiencing and expressive arts to help individuals to find healing and establish a greater connection to themselves. I know that working together, we can make these life changes an opportunity for cultivating healing, self-awareness and growth in your life.
