Laura Ellison-Hutchinson

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Centennial, CO


Hi, I’m Laura and I specialize in helping women and teens heal from trauma, whether it shows up as anxiety, overthinking, people-pleasing, or feeling completely disconnected from themselves. I experienced trauma growing up and know firsthand how it impacts the whole body.

Through Somatic therapy, Brainspotting, and EMDR, I help clients release what’s stuck in their bodies and rebuild trust in themselves—because healing isn’t about “getting over it,” it’s about feeling safe again.

Danielle Bennett

Danielle Bennett

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Colorado


I provide psychiatric medication management services that are tailored specifically to you and your needs. My practice revolves around working towards creating solutions that work for your life. Whether you are trying medication for the first time, looking to change medications, or wanting to taper off completely, we will go at your pace and process issues together as they arise. I take a full-person approach and will recommend treatments beyond medication. Medication alone is rarely a full solution so those that are ready to put in the effort to get to the core of the issues will work best with me

It can be uncomfortable to decide to seek out help and to share your worries with someone. I strive to create an environment that is nonjudgemental, confidential, and solution focused. I will integrate therapy into our sessions to cultivate insight, appreciation, and understanding of your past and current circumstances.

Controlled substances are used minimally and conservatively in my practice as many of these are not long term solutions. I work with adults of all races, ethnicities, and LGBTQIA2S+. The best way to get connected with me is to visit our website hhmhc.com and submit your information on the "Appointment Request" form.
