Joe Vanderoff, MA, LPCC

With a passion for understanding the human experience and a creative background in music, I strive to facilitate deep and meaningful connections with people in order to promote healing and growth. My approach is inspired by Humanistic, Existential, Depth and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, as well as Mindful Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and myriad others. I take an integrative approach by choosing a modality that best serves the needs of each individual client. I have experience helping clients to process and heal from trauma and understand the value of holding space for individuals that is free of judgment and criticism. Experiencing unconditional positive regard gives each of us the opportunity to choose growth and engenders change. With reduced cost services available where needed, I look forward to connecting and growing with you!

Adam Love, MA, LPCC

Life’s challenges—pain, disconnection, struggle—are inevitable, but imagine navigating them with a compassionate companion and guide. The ability to sit with discomfort and uncertainty enhances the capacity to better respond to those challenges. 

 

Through the use of individually-tailored evidence-based interventions, I aim to collaborate with you to meet your goals and to facilitate an environment where growth and change are possible. I seek to help clients foster greater connectedness and conscious choice moment to moment. 

 

Additionally, I am dedicated to embedding values of belonging and cultural humility into my work in order to honor and include the unique identities, relationships, and systems each client is a part of. 

 

Together, we will work to restore a sense of vitality and imagination to life, cultivating the capacity to more fully live with both the joys and sorrows.

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.

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.

Working together, we can create an intentional and personalized space focused on your own reasons for seeking support. Collaboratively, we will chart a course that leverages your strengths, values, and beliefs to develop skills, process past experiences, and build hope for a future that you can look forward to.

 

In working together, you'll find me to be compassionate, curious, honest, and warm. I work with adolescents, individual adults, and couples and, as an intern, I provide reduced cost services to ensure that healing is within reach for all.

In my practice, I provide tailored psychotherapy that respects each client's unique journey. Using a blend of humanistic and cognitive behavioral approaches, I strive to create a safe, supportive space where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings.

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.

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.
