I specialize in working with the LGBTQ+ population, addressing men's health issues, and supporting people struggling with addiction and substance use. I am experienced in working with people facing anxiety, stress, depression, and interpersonal conflict. I use a variety of techniques to help my clients, based on what we agree might be best for them - the most important part of therapy with me is you being an active participant in your own goals, progress, and life.
Life gets complicated. Relationships strain, grief accumulates, anxiety takes hold, and sometimes the weight of simply being human becomes more than any one person should carry alone. Whatever brought you here – a specific struggle, a quiet sense that something needs to change, or simply the courage to finally reach out – you’ve come to the right place. Sequoia Counseling Collective is a group therapy practice offering compassionate, evidence-based care for individuals and couples. Our team of skilled therapists specializes in anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, grief and loss, life transitions, perinatal mental health, and relationship challenges. We draw from a range of proven approaches including EMDR, EFT, the Gottman Method, CBT, ACT, and animal assisted therapy to provide care that is thoughtfully tailored to you.
Hello, I'm Melissa. I support students to get clear on their academic path, work through difficult emotions, and feel more confident and grounded. Many of my clients come to me feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or unsure about their direction in life. Others struggle with perfectionism, burnout, or relationship challenges. I have 20 years experience as a clinical social worker, and I offer a safe, supportive and easy-going approach. I like to infuse mindfulness and humor into my sessions, while also keeping my clients on task and clear about goals. Over the years, I’ve helped hundreds of students heal, grow, and create more meaningful lives. I also specialize in helping clients strengthen their intuition. Developing a clear inner knowing makes it easier to trust yourself when making decisions, so you can feel more centered, confident, and at ease in your own skin. If you want to see if we're a good fit, I offer free 15 minute consultations so I can learn more about you and get a better sense of how I might be able to help. We can talk over any questions or concerns you have. Looking forward to hearing from you.

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.
If you're looking for a kind and compassionate yet smart and straightforward counselor, give me a call. I specialize in teenagers and young adults with anxiety and depression, especially with estrangement issues such as conflict with parents, divorced and/or deployed parents, as well as career planning. I am a Christian and can offer help from a biblical perspective if desired. My other specialties are older adults and military/veterans. My previous career was as a diplomat for the U.S. Department of State.

Come Home to Yourself™ We also offer Ketamine assisted psychotherapy and treatment for psychosis through med management.
You may be stressed out with looming deadlines, presentations to plan, and group work to complete.

We can help. At Catalyss Counseling, we enhances lives by providing counseling services to adults, treating barriers to well-being, and helping you achieve personal growth.

Therapy when you need it, not just when you're in session. Secure, therapist-guided messaging that fits your life. I specialize in the messy overlap between relationships and recovery—because in my experience, you can't fully heal one without addressing the other. Whether you're navigating postpartum anxiety, a relationship that's been strained by substance use, or preparing for marriage and wanting to get it right from the start, I bring dual licensure in both professional counseling and addiction counseling to every case. My approach is trauma-informed, practical, and deeply respectful of where you are right now. I draw on trauma-informed CBT, attachment theory, and Gottman-influenced couples work, but mostly I follow your lead. I'm not trying to fit you into a protocol. I'm trying to understand your specific relationship dynamics, your history with substances if that's relevant, and what 'better' actually looks like for you. In our first session, we'll map out your concerns and create a clear plan together. Whether you're seeking individual or couples therapy, you'll leave feeling understood and confident in our direction. I also offer secure asynchronous messaging for support and guidance between sessions.
As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), I work with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, emotion regulation, substance use recovery, and life transitions. Many of the patients I see feel overwhelmed by these struggles and find themselves caught in unhealthy coping patterns, difficult relationships, or people-pleasing. Together, we focus on building healthier ways to cope. Lasting change, in my experience, happens when patients feel both supported and equipped with practical tools, and that belief shapes how I show up as a collaborative, goal-oriented partner in your growth. I look forward to helping you gain greater insight, develop healthier coping strategies, and create a life that feels more balanced and fulfilling. In our work together, you can expect a warm and supportive environment where I'm passionate about empowering you with the knowledge and tools you need to navigate life's challenges with greater confidence and resilience. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing, and solution-focused therapy to help you build practical coping skills, improve emotion regulation, and create meaningful, lasting change. This approach is collaborative, practical, and evidence-based while being tailored to your unique needs and goals. My path to becoming a therapist began with working in inpatient and outpatient addiction treatment, helping patients navigate co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders. This experience deepened my commitment to providing compassionate, patient-centered care that balances validation with practical skill-building. Now, I bring warmth, curiosity, and a collaborative, goal-oriented perspective to each session, empowering patients to better understand themselves and develop the tools they need to thrive. Outside of work, I love spending time outdoors and staying active. Some of my favorite hobbies include skiing, mountain biking, rafting, wake surfing, water skiing, and golfing. These activities help me recharge and appreciate the time I spend in nature. I also enjoy watercolor painting and reading. Painting provides a creative outlet and a chance to slow down, while reading allows me to keep learning and unwind. My favorite books are on psychology, personal development, and fiction.

You may feel overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, mood swings, or symptoms that are hard to explain, leaving you stuck, hopeless, or alone. Maybe daily life feels heavier than it should, and you are tired of just getting by. You want clarity about what you are experiencing and a way forward that actually works.

I work with anxiety, depression, mood, and psychotic disorders, focusing on trust, open communication, and creating a safe, supportive space while building a plan tailored to your goals.

While certain seasons of life are difficult, they’re oftentimes the catalyst for remarkable self-growth. My goal as your therapist is to help you understand your unique lens and experience, so you can live your life with more intention, enjoyment, self-awareness, and alignment with your highest self. I specialize in helping you feel unstuck, so you can find the way back to a more connected, content, and embodied life. Whether you’re seeking therapy for anxiety, relationships, or a life transition, my warm, holistic approach provides a non-judgmental space to seek refuge, process, (dare I say, laugh?), and heal. We will work together to mindfully observe your patterns, dysregulation, self-limiting beliefs, and strengths, then find a path forward toward meaningful change. Committing to this transformational inner work is a big step, and it might take a few tries to find a therapist that feels aligned. If you’re curious about working together, let’s jump on a free 15-minute video consultation call. I’m happy to answer any questions you have and provide more insight about how I can best support your therapy goals.

You might be a student who looks like you have it together but feels anxious, burned out, or disconnected underneath. Maybe the pressure of classes, relationships, or figuring out who you are is heavier than you expected. Maybe you're navigating a big transition, far from home for the first time, or just noticing that the way you've always coped isn't working anymore. In therapy, we'll slow down, get curious about what's really going on, and build skills that help you feel more like yourself. I draw from a variety of approaches — including body-based techniques, mindfulness, and talk therapy — to tailor our work to what you actually need. You don't have to have it all figured out to start. You just have to show up.
