Grief counselors and therapists in Golden, CO

I'm Maddie, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a doctorate from the University of Southern California and six years in private practice. Before that, I spent nearly two decades working in schools as an educator, counselor, and mental health advocate — so I know the world teens, young adults, and parents are living in. I specialize in anxiety, life transitions, maternal mental health, and family stress, and I use CBT and EMDR to help people actually move forward.

Hello and welcome! Here's a little synopsis of my professional background in therapy. I received my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Naropa University in the Mindfulness-based Transpersonal program. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado, where I see clients virtually and in person. I am trained in EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) from the Maiberger Institute in Boulder, Colorado. I am continuously curious and always learning. I am happy to share more once we establish a therapeutic relationship.

I am a clinical forensic psychologist with over 35 years of experience working the matters that relate to psychology and the law. This includes assessments, reports, and testimony in court as well as family therapy for family reunification and other matters. I have a doctorate in counseling and educational psychology and a year of post-doctoral training in family therapy. I have written a book about healing from childhood trauma. I have been licensed in 5 states, most recently in Colorado.

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.

I'm Katie Klumb, MA, LPC, at Awakening Peace Counseling. I hold a Master’s in Transpersonal Counseling Psychology from Naropa University and specialize in trauma-informed therapy, depression, anxiety, and life transitions. My holistic approach integrates mind, body, and spirit for comprehensive healing. Based in Lyons, CO, I offer in-person and telehealth sessions.

I have been in counseling for over 19 years. I love working with teens through adulthood clients.

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.

Hello my name is Dr. Dave Matheson, PhD, LPC. I am an Licensed professional counselor in the state of Colorado.

It sounds like you are interested in creating some change in your life and counseling is a great place to start. Here is how I view counseling and the struggles we are up against.

The problems we struggle with seek to define and marginalize our identities as humans. The power that various problems seek to have in our lives can leave us feeling lost, helpless, and alone. Counseling can be a great place to begin to separate our identities from our struggles, where the problem does not get to define us as humans. My goal is to join you in this process and support the creation of a new identity, where the problem no longer gets to hold the mirror from which our own reflections are seen.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with 16 years of experience supporting individuals through a wide range of life experiences and challenges. Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to work with diverse populations and address many different areas of mental health and personal growth.
