I love working with people that are ready to explore change. Everyone gets stuck from time to time. Coming to terms with loss and pain is never easy. Loss can come in the form of actual bereavement or in through accepting difficult events or even a difficult diagnosis, If you would like to try to address your reaction to trauma, loss, or even addictive relationships to substances and activities, I would love to work with you. I have comfort and familiarity in working with bipolar disorder, ADHD, PTSD and anxiety. I hope to work with people who are seeking their highest expression of selfhood and are willing to look inside.

Have you been struggling with ADHD symptoms and can't seem to find a therapist who "gets it"? I am a psychologist who specializes in working with teens and adults with ADHD. I understand the ways that being neurodivergent can impact more than just schooling or work performance. I often say that my work is "about ADHD, and it's not about ADHD," as, oftentimes, adults with this invisible difference experience challenges that go beyond brain-based symptoms and impact self-concept, mood, and relationships. I work with individuals and couples impacted by ADHD.

If you’re here you might feel stuck, disconnected from yourself or others in your life. You may be overwhelmed with negative or critical thoughts about yourself and wonder why it’s hard for you to navigate life when others seem to do it effortlessly. You may have felt like you were different your whole life or like it’s hard to fit in anywhere. You are not alone. Our society is purposely crafted so that we feel constantly inferior. The truth is that there is no schedule or no one direction that works for everyone. Each person walks their own path and realizing this truth is part of the healing process.

Sometimes in life it feels like we keep getting in our own way. We keep seeing the same unwanted results but we just can't find the point where we're getting it wrong. It can be hard to tell whether it's learned behaviors from past experiences, symptoms from something like ADHD or anxiety, or even a complete mystery. Taking some time to understand the what (am I doing?), why (is that what I do?), and how (that is impacting what I want?) can lay the foundations for change in those patterns. With a bit of self-compassion and hard work, of course.

Life can be difficult. Dealing with the stressors of school, work, parenting, and traumatic events can make you feel like you are drowning. Add to that the many beliefs out there that tell us we are not good enough and it leads down a dark path. There is hope. If you are struggling with guilt and hopelessness of not being good enough, or the constant overwhelming feelings of losing your mind, you are not alone. You do not need to turn to things that only temporarily make you feel "ok." You are enough and we can work together to overcome those obstacles. You deserve more. Change your mind. You deserve to thrive.

I empower people to make changes in their lives. I help clients navigate life transitions, resolve relationship issues with family, co-workers and friends and manage emotional difficulties such as anxiety and depression. Helping individuals and families address ADD/ADHD challenges and issues is another area of expertise. We work together to discover the client's strengths and resources, sources of support and identify obstacles to change. I help people increase motivation so they can take action to achieve the life they want rather than the life they wish they had.

I believe everyone has the right to pursue happiness and that everyone possesses the capacity to achieve their own happiness. Finding the right kind of therapy can be difficult. Often times, therapists require you to drive to an unfamiliar office, expect you to explain the challenges you're having at home, and then return home to try and put what you've learned into action. Why not explore, learn, and change things in your home in real time? I offer individual and/or family therapy directly in the home to address real challenges in real time. Regain control of your life and bring happiness back into your home.

I specialize in working with couples, adults, and college students. I also specialize in psychoeducational testing, including ADHD and Learning Disability evaluations. Getting an accurate diagnosis is often a very important step in treating or improving functioning for individuals who experience these difficulties.

It is exhausting to live with the challenges of Anxiety, ADHD, or social difficulties. Life feels stressful and chaotic. You may miss out on activities that you see others enjoy. You can feel alone, stressed, and tired. You try the best you can, but don't get the changes you desire. Don't go without help, please know, life doesn't have to keep being so hard. There is research about what works to help people overcome anxiety, ADHD and social difficulties and create calmer lives. At Mountain Vista Psychology, we take a wholistic, research based approach to getting you the change you need.

Do you often have many ideas and thoughts but have difficulty starting and finishing tasks? Do your worries about the future get in the way of you taking action in the present? I am a psychologist and I strive to help adults with ADHD, anxiety, and life stress understand their strengths and propel themselves towards change. I want to help you identify real-world, supportive solutions that can help you grow. By focusing on how your thoughts can impact your feelings and behaviors, we will create a set of personal strategies for you that improve your quality of life and increase your acceptance of who you are.

Are you bothered by constant worry, fear, nervousness or anxiety? Feeling down, depressed, hopeless or like life is always going wrong? Having difficulty focusing or concentrating and feeling like you are always on the move? Is procrastinating or always putting things off until the last minute something you struggle with? These are all a part of being human, and there is nothing wrong with you. Let me help you better how to understand these thoughts, and feelings and drop the struggle against them. I can help you better understand how you can change behaviors and live a better life, even with these thoughts and feelings.

At times we might find ourselves struggling with these specific concerns: anxiety, depression, life transition, work stress, self-esteem, self-worth, or relationship distress. At these times we need guidance and support to help us achieve our goals. I collaborate with clients throughout their treatment process. I provide a non-judgmental therapeutic space to explore ideas, thoughts, behaviors, and emotions while teaching practical coping skills. I work with college students and professional adults (18+). From the start of us working together I meet you where you're at and we work towards your goal with the purpose of 'graduating'.

I use a holistic approach to help you better understand yourself, the world around you, and find balance. I work with individuals and couples, ages 18 and older. I specialize in working with neurodivergent adults, specifically with ADHD and/or ASD. I work with issues including but not limited to anxiety, depression, life and career transitions, executive dysfunction, and relationships. I have experience working with an array of racial/ethnic backgrounds, as well as the LGBTQIA+ community. I strive to make my sessions supportive, non-judgemental, and authentic for every person that walks in my door.

We have immediate therapy openings for clients who have Health First Medicaid, Colorado Access, or CCHA, thanks to the addition of two new therapists to our team: Makyyah Dawkins MSW, and Samantha Gutherless, MA, LPCC. Makyyah Dawkins is passionate about working with youth, the LGBTQ+ community, neurodivergent clients, and expanding mental health services to diverse populations. Sam Gutherless is a has worked with young and middle aged adults and is passionate about social justice advocacy and identity work.

It's so important to have someone to talk to when going through difficult times - unfortunately we don't always have that opportunity. As a therapist, I strive to have my clients feel like they can be seen, heard and feel safe in a comfortable and confidential setting. I use strength-based, person-centered techniques to help my clients work towards self-awareness and personal growth. I also value learning from my clients each session and help my clients to develop self-compassion. I believe that it is important to have as much empathy for oneself as you would for a close friend or family member.

Accepting new patients - Stepping into a variety of roles - caregiver, spouse, employee...parent, etc requires emotional and physical energy. Anxiety and depression can surface to prompt us to reach out for support. Working from an attachment lens, I believe that our family of origins create framework on how we view the world. Life seems to happen so fast. Therapy helps to slow things down and gain a new understanding of our story. My goal is that for an hour each week that time is for you be able to find support and gain strategies to provide yourself comfort in stressful times.

Therapy for the misunderstood, neurodivergent, neuro-spicy, ADHD adult humans out there: It’s an everyday occurrence involving being zoned out, scattered, overwhelmed, and all over the place. You feel like you’re regularly failing at “normal”, don’t feel good enough, and are convinced you suck at adulting. As you're racing around trying to find your keys and getting ready for the day, you give the dog your cereal and pour her cup of food in your bowl instead. Ugh. And on a more serious note - this shit is seriously impacting your work, your relationships and your quality of life.

As a dedicated psychotherapist, I am passionate about helping individuals navigate life's complexities and overcome trauma. With a compassionate and client-centered approach, I strive to create a safe and supportive space for exploration and growth. My commitment to evidence-based practices ensures that each client receives personalized treatment tailored to their unique needs. Together, we can embark on a journey towards healing, resilience, and fulfillment.
