Therapist

I offer virtual or in-person therapy sessions in Castle Rock, Colorado. I know what it's like to struggle with depression, addiction, and narcissistic abuse. I became a therapist and an energy healer after going through my own "dark night of the soul." Many clients tell me that they relate to me because I have been though similar experiences and know what it's like to push through depression, and overcome addiction and trauma. My goal isn't to help you merely mask symptoms, but to help you navigate through them while healing the underlying roots, staying grounded, and discovering your most authentic self and a life of fulfillment and thriving.

Andrea Uliano

Andrea Uliano

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person • Dillon, CO


Andrea Uliano brings over 20 years of clinical healthcare experience, beginning her career as a clinical social worker before transitioning to a registered nurse and ultimately becoming a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. With a strong foundation in both mental health and medicine, Andrea’s practice is rooted in a holistic philosophy that prioritizes balance, connection, and individualized care.

Throughout her career, Andrea has remained committed to treating the whole person, not just the symptoms. She avoids quick fixes and extreme regimens, instead focusing on thoughtful, goal-oriented solutions that honor the deep connection between the mind and body. Her approach emphasizes collaboration, problem-solving, and long-term wellness rather than temporary results.

Originally from Long Island, New York, Andrea has called the mountains of Vail and Summit County home for the past 16 years. Living in a small mountain community has given her a unique understanding of the challenges faced by locals, allowing her to connect deeply with her patients. She has a particular passion for working with individuals navigating substance and alcohol use, anxiety, depression, ADHD, eating disorders, and women’s health concerns.

Welcome! I know reaching out for therapy can feel like a big step, and my hope is that from our first session you'll feel comfortable showing up exactly as you are. I'm warm, down-to-earth, and bring a sense of curiosity, humor, and authenticity into my work. I believe therapy doesn't have to feel overly clinical, it's a collaborative space where we can talk honestly about what's going on, celebrate your strengths, and work through the messy parts of being human together. I have experience supporting adults, couples, and teens through anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, stress, and substance use concerns, and I tailor our work to what feels most helpful and meaningful to you. Whether you're looking for practical tools, deeper self-understanding, or simply a place to exhale and be heard, I'd be honored to be part of your journey.

What you should know about me as your provider is that I am genuinely curious about who you are, how you see the world, and what makes you, you. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all templates, and I certainly don’t expect you to have it all figured out. When you sit down with me, your story is safe, your quirks are welcome, and you will always be met with acceptance and a listening ear. We are in this together, and I’m ready to listen whenever you're ready to share.

Austin Hendrickson

Austin Hendrickson

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Colorado Springs, CO


Hi, my name is Austin and welcome to my private practice. As a man who has been deeply affected and healed by counseling, I get the need and role of counseling firsthand. This is why I love counseling: I believe humans were created to share their stories and to work through difficulties together. Counseling is my life’s passion. I am truly honored and delighted to now walk alongside others in dark places toward durable hope and lasting change.

I am personally acquainted with the pain of grief. After the loss of my mother to suicide, I began a counseling journey that revealed many unexplored areas in my life that needed compassion and care. These experiences have brought me face to face with life’s difficulties.

I received my Bachelor’s Degree from the United States Air Force Academy (Colorado Springs, CO) in Foreign Area Studies (Russia and Eastern Europe). After graduation, I worked as a military aviator and US Air Force Officer in domestic and international locations. I returned to graduate school to pursue a Master’s of Arts in Counseling and a Master’s of Divinity at Covenant Theological Seminary. Over the years, as a counselor, I have worked in a community-based counseling center, as a staff counselor for a church counseling center, and I am now in independent practice, working with men, veterans, couples, and families navigating trauma and PTSD, and the many ups and downs of life.

I have traveled throughout the world during my Air Force career. Seeing the many ways humans experience the world, in all its pain and joy, has only increased my passion to care for others. From working with teenagers and their struggles to individuals seeking hope to the married couple with decades of experience to everyone in between. I love working with people who are struggling and want change.
