Many of the people I work with are going through some kind of transition.
Sometimes that looks like anxiety that’s getting harder to manage, feeling stuck in the same patterns, or navigating changes in relationships, identity, or life direction. Other times it’s grief, stress, or a sense that something just isn’t working the way it used to.
You might find yourself overthinking, shutting down, or reacting in ways that don’t quite make sense, even to you. You may understand things logically, but still feel stuck emotionally.
My background is in clinical mental health counseling, and my work is grounded in approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). I also have advanced training in working with relationship dynamics, which often show up even in individual therapy.
Before becoming a therapist, I worked as a journalist. That still shapes how I work today. I pay close attention, listen for patterns, and help you make sense of your story in a way that feels clear, grounded, and meaningful.
Hi! I'm, Justin Landen. I am a licensed therapist in Colorado. I graduated with a Master's Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a focus on Nature-Based Therapy from Naropa University in Boulder, CO. I embrace an integrative therapy style which is highly adaptive, goal-focused, and designed to be tailored specifically for you session-to-session.
I've been in private practice for over 20 years and I love my work! I specialize in couples, parenting, anxiety, low confidence, and psychedelic integration therapy.
I work to meet clients wherever they are at emotionally and identify their goals so that we can work together to create the best life possible for them. I have experience working with all ages and walks of life, from first responders and caretakers to teenagers and families. I come from a family of helpers and have a deep understanding of how traumatic experiences can destabilize people's well-being. I am here to work as a guide, not a teacher, and believe that all healing is done by the patient. I seek to empower my patients and show them their inner strength that was there all along.
My name is Mark Priday and I have been a professional counselor for more than 25 years. I am very excited to return to private practice. Helping my clients is something I enjoy so much. Professionally I have worked in a variety of settings including hospitals and residential treatment centers. Personally, I have been married for over 36 years and have two grown children with one wonderful grandchild (so far?). I draw on my personal experience often when doing marriage and couples counseling as this is a great resource. I am active in my church community and serve in my congregation's eldership. Thank you for taking a few minutes to view my website and I look forward to meeting you.

I earned my doctorate degree in clinical psychology from the University of Denver and have been in private practice for over ten years. I consider it an honor to be in relationship with my clients and to help them better understand themselves and change their lives. I strive to celebrate and create a safe space for all aspects of your identity.
I am Betty Steer, a dual board-certified Family and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC) and a graduate of the University of Nebraska Medical Center. My mission is to change the conversation around mental health. Beyond my clinical practice, I am an active advocate for mental health. Choosing to prioritize your mental wellness is an act of strength. Whether you are seeking support for yourself or your child, you deserve a provider who treats you as a whole person, not just a diagnosis. I am currently welcoming new patients. You’ve carried this weight alone long enough—call or email me today to take the first step toward reclaiming your stability and joy
I see my job as helping folks examine why we beat ourselves and others up emotionally, and how to do something different. Together, we’ll work on figuring out what matters most to you and navigating toward it. If you value straight-forwardness, humor, geeky metaphors, and having someone sit with you in the discomfort, we are probably a good match.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Fort Collins
Searching for therapists in Fort Collins starts with knowing what kind of support you want. People may look for therapy for anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship concerns, grief, life transitions, or work stress. As you compare Fort Collins therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties, training, and therapy approach match your needs. A therapist’s bio can help you understand whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, somatic therapy, or couples therapy.
Fort Collins has a strong local care community, with options near downtown, south Fort Collins, and surrounding areas, but the right fit may also depend on schedule and format. Some people prefer in-person sessions in a therapist’s office, while others choose virtual appointments for more flexibility around work, school, caregiving, or transportation. As you narrow your search, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, free phone consultations, and how clearly their profile explains their style. If you are looking for a counselor in Fort Collins, Colorado, reading bios before booking can help you compare communication style, session structure, and areas of focus.
Therapy in Fort Collins can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your benefits, and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before booking. You can browse therapists in Fort Collins, review profiles, and book directly when you are ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
