I am a licensed therapist based in Golden, CO. I offer in person visits at my office in downtown Golden, which is a convenient distance from Wheat Ridge, Arvada, Edgewater, Westminster, and Denver’s Westside. I also offer remote sessions online. As a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Addictions Counselor.
Prior to earning my BS in Psychology followed by a Master’s Degree in Counseling from the University of Colorado Denver in 2010, I graduated from CU Boulder in 1994 where I received my BA in English Literature. I look forward to assisting you with your counseling needs.
I am a licensed therapist with experience supporting children, teens, and adults through challenges such as anxiety, depression, social anxiety, self-esteem struggles, and the pressure of high expectations. I use a collaborative and creative approach, often integrating mindfulness to help clients stay grounded and build awareness of their thoughts and emotions. Depending on each person’s needs, I may incorporate art-based activities, coping skills training, or reflective conversation. My goal is to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients feel understood and empowered to grow.
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.
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.
