Virtual & in-person • 23 mi away • Denver, CO


Just a few years ago, I was caught up in a cycle of self-doubt, shame, and failure. I was early on in adulthood, and already I felt completely worn out; I was convinced my life would end in ruins. Eventually, I was able to seek counseling, and this became a significant factor in helping me find a new sense of hope and freedom. I became a counselor out of a desire to share this gift with others. I aim to create a safe space where my clients can discover new hope on their journey. When you walk into my office, I want you to know that you are welcome here; you belong, and you matter.

Sam Osiadacz

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Fort Collins, CO


Life can present unexpected challenges, major transitions, and moments of intense uncertainty that leave us feeling overwhelmed or disconnected from who we are. Whether you are navigating anxiety, processing trauma, adjusting to parenthood, or breaking old patterns that no longer serve you, I provide a safe, non-judgmental, and compassionate space to help you find your footing.

My work with adults centers on major life transitions, anxiety, burnout, trauma, identity exploration and personal growth. I integrate relational, somatic, and strength-based approaches to help you process complex emotions and deepen your self-awareness.

Additionally, I support children and families through trauma and developmental shifts. When working with kids, I use the natural language of play and honest, age-appropriate narratives to help them express what they may not yet have the words to say, ensuring both caregivers and children feel supported along the way.

Stacia McNeely

Stacia McNeely

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person • Parker, CO


I’m a psychiatric nurse practitioner who works from the belief that people are not broken—and that many of the struggles we call “mental illness” make sense when we look at trauma, context, and lived experience. I’m especially attuned to the ways mental health systems, stigma, and labels can unintentionally cause harm, and I aim to practice in a way that feels respectful, collaborative, and deeply human.

My approach is unconventional and trauma-informed, influenced by perspectives like those of Gabor Maté, which emphasize compassion, curiosity, and understanding symptoms as meaningful responses rather than defects. I do not believe in rushing to pathologize the human experience. As Joni Mitchell once reflected about depression, sometimes what we’re feeling is not an illness to be fixed, but a signal—an honest response to pain, loss, or a world that has not been kind.
