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.
My path to becoming a counselor was not a traditional one. After a successful career in land surveying, I made a significant career change later in life because I wanted to do work that allowed me to make a more meaningful impact in people’s lives. That journey ultimately led me to earn a doctorate in Counselor Education and Supervision and has shaped the way I understand growth, change, and the courage it can take to move in a new direction.
My clinical training and experience include individual, couples and family, group, and play therapy. I have worked with children, adults, and families experiencing a range of concerns, including life transitions, trauma, substance use, relationship difficulties, and the effects of systemic injustice. My experience in crisis settings and criminal justice transitional programs has also given me an appreciation for the complexity of people’s lives and the importance of understanding the whole person rather than simply focusing on a problem or diagnosis.
In addition to my clinical work, I am a counselor educator and supervisor. Teaching and supervising counselors has strengthened my commitment to thoughtful, ethical, and evidence based practice while continually challenging me to grow as a counselor myself.
I am a dual board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner and Family Nurse Practitioner committed to supporting your mental wellness. I help children, teens and adults struggling with anxiety, depression, mood disorders and ADHD.
I completed my training at Case Western Reserve University, and I went on to complete additional certification at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley.
I aim to create a safe space where you feel heard and empowered. I would love to assist you on your path to growing, as we work together to achieve personalized, goals that promote positive outcomes.
I can help you to develop a warm, loving relationship with the parts of yourself that may get in the way of the healing and recovery you are interested in. With attention to how pain, loss, and suffering can be held in the body and through cultivating compassion and attention, together we can work to move these experiences through to completion and create space for something new.
I am currently accepting new clients. I’m so glad you’re here. Taking the step to reach out is often the hardest part, so congratulations on being here. I especially love supporting women navigating anxiety, depression, big life changes, postpartum, and the ups and downs of motherhood. After 15 years in this field, I know how much lighter life can feel with the right support, and I’d be honored to walk alongside you.
My journey towards therapy started in the forests on the Pacific Crest Trail and in the San Juan Mountains as a Wilderness Therapy Guide. I was entranced by people's stories that landed them on the trail, as well as by their takes on life. I decided to get my Master's in Counseling at Adam's State University so that I could professionally hear people's stories. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Colorado. I have experience working with families and individuals ages 12+. I am passionate about helping people manage chronic stress that seems inevitable in the current world we live in.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Grand Junction
Searching for therapists in Grand Junction starts with knowing what kind of support you want. You may be looking for therapy for anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, or stress. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, training, and approach match your needs. Reading bios can help you see whether a therapist focuses on cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, couples counseling, or another approach that fits what you are looking for.
In a smaller city like Grand Junction, local therapist availability may vary by schedule, specialty, and office location. Virtual therapy can give you more options while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in Colorado. Consider whether you prefer in-person sessions near Grand Junction, virtual appointments from home, or a mix of both. You can also narrow your search by appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation before you book.
Therapy in Grand Junction can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, verify your insurance, and see an estimated cost before your first session. You can review therapist profiles, compare availability, 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.
