Hello! My name is Dena Mannello and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). I graduated in 2015 with my Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy. I am passionate about helping individuals as well as couples create balance when they struggle to do so for themselves. I approach this through creating and maintaining healthy communication and boundary setting in order to help them regain and foster connection.

While working in the mental health field, I found a heart for other helping populations that also deal with a high degree of Compassion Fatigue and Burnout. I began to go deeper with my studies, and received my Certified First Responder Counselor (CFRC) certification in 2021, as well as my Certified Compassion Fatigue Professional (CCFP) certification in 2022.

I work from a systems perspective as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I view people from the context of how they are integrated in their network. It is my goal to help people to understand how they can access the healthiest versions of themselves so that they can continue to do their own good work both vocationally as well as within their family systems.

Hello! My name is Jackie Tuohy and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). I graduated in 2022 with my Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Bethel University. I am currently working towards full licensure, expected Fall 2024, and am practicing under Supervisor Mary Preston. I work collaboratively with clients to address issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue & burnout. I believe healing happens in relationships and I enjoy getting to know clients while building trusting relationships with them.

My goal is to help clients identify and overcome the issues that are preventing them from feeling whole and healthy in all areas of their lives.Typically, I use a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness-Based techniques in sessions. I work to help clients understand and put a name to their emotional experiences while helping them find ways to feel calm, safe, and grounded in their own bodies. My approach to counseling is warm and empathetic, yet direct. I also enjoy incorporating humor for levity in sessions.

Hello! I am so happy you are here! If you are reading this, you have taken the first step toward growth and healing. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate (LPCC) from the University of Northern Colorado where I studied Clinical Mental Health Counseling.

I am passionate about helping others improve their mental health, make positive changes in their lives, and find purpose and meaning in their life. I truly believe that therapy can be transformative and help you understand yourself better and become the best version of yourself.

Some areas of focus that I serve but am not limited to are anxiety, life transitions, burnout, self-esteem, spirituality, interpersonal issues, career counseling, and grief. I have an integrative approach to counseling, therefore I center therapy around my clients to best suit their needs by meeting them where they are at. My goal is to walk with you through your challenges, help you discover more about yourself, and support you in becoming the most authentic, happy, and healthy version of yourself!

Hello! My name is Kiera Blackford and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate(LPCC). I work with individuals, couples, and families to create a collaborative and supportive environment. I approach healing with empathy and non-judgment to allow individual clients to explore their boundaries and communication styles and find restoration from issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma, and loss. My goal is to support couples in exploring their concerns, expressing their emotions, and learning to find intimacy and connection. I work from a systems lens perspective, allowing our journey together to be holistic and authentic. I approach counseling with warmth, humor, and distinctiveness with techniques from the Gottman Method, Mindfulness, and Person-Centered Therapy. I hope to help you find yourself and build meaningful relationships.

Hi! Have you ever wondered if you can truly change? I have. That’s why I’m in this profession—to facilitate change and healing. Change begins by exploring the areas where we feel stuck and need healing. This process happens when we trust a guide to help us navigate our inner world. Only when we identify the wounds, perspectives, and beliefs that hold us back can we start to break free and embrace more hopeful ways of living and being.

Why should you trust me? There is a sacred trust that must be established to do this work. This trust is granted by you and earned by me. I have worked and led in the helping profession for 30 years, supporting people through challenges such as abuse, grief, marriage issues, conflict, addiction, and more.

I approach counseling with a supportive, non-judgmental stance, aiming for each client to feel that I am both with them and for them. I hope that you can trust me as your advocate, while also knowing that I will be completely honest with you.

Going through life we are faced with challenges and stressors that lead us to question ourselves and our reality. Whether it is unresolved trauma from our childhood or trauma we face as an adult. I hope to help you in reestablishing the best version of yourself through comprehensive therapeutic approaches and methods.

In the beginning, I will get to know you through building rapport via talk therapy. Once established, we will work together in setting goals to achieve your desired outcomes. Then I will utilize various therapeutic methods to help guide you to desired outcomes.

I aim to create a nonjudgmental therapeutic environment. I believe everybody is the expert of their own life, and I value you as the autonomous human you are in this world. Through a holistic (mind, body and spirit) approach, I help guide the expert (you) in achieving satisfaction in your life.

Hi! My name is Mackenzie Gilliland and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate (LPCC) in Colorado.

I am fully trained in EMDR Therapy.  I enjoy working with adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, and addiction. I have experience working in community mental health with all ages and struggles, as well as outpatient substance abuse treatment for individuals with addictions and their families.

Through art therapy, EMDR Therapy to reprocess traumatic events, and other traditional psychotherapy approaches, such as Motivational Interviewing and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, I aim to help clients through difficult times and transitions.

It is important to me to build a genuine relationship with the client to then use gentle challenging with the goal of developing self-compassion and supporting behavior change.
