Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Salida, CO covered by Cigna

What I want you to know about me as a therapist is that I learn from and alongside the people I work with. Curiosity is vital to my work. As a person, I value storytelling of all kinds, be it through conversation or creative outlets (like theatre, art, music, etc.). As someone who spent much of my life on a stage, I show up in therapy as a dynamic collaborator. Regardless of your age or perspective, I want to work with you and what is important to you to provide the best care I can.

With more than 30 years of experience, I've helped individuals navigate anxiety, ADHD, trauma, and life's many transitions with compassion, understanding, and practical support.

I know reaching out for help isn't always easy. My goal is to create a safe, welcoming space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to move toward greater confidence, healing, and peace of mind.

I use Post-Induction Therapy to heal relational trauma. I have worked everywhere from juevnille correctional settings to affluent Residential Facilities with Professional adults. I honor all clients to be completely understood and how it impacts Love for ourselves, Family and Spiritual engagement. My earnest hope is that we develop courage (Animo) and no client feels like they are wasting time in therapy.

You want a therapist you can actually talk to, who listens closely, asks real questions, and knows what they’re doing. I work with teens, adults, and couples facing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship problems, substance use, stress, anger, major life changes, or simply feeling stuck.

I’m dually licensed as a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Addiction Counselor and have worked in outpatient, inpatient, school-based, crisis, forensic, and co-occurring treatment settings. That experience has taught me to look beyond symptoms, understand the bigger picture, and tailor therapy to the person in front of me.

My style is practical, straightforward, open-minded, and collaborative. You do not need to know exactly what to say or have everything figured out before you start. We can begin with what is actually going on, make sense of it together, and focus on changes that matter in your day-to-day life.

Come as you are. We’ll go from there.

• Calm, warm, friendly, humor with cultural competency.

I offer EMDR and talk therapy for a variety of issues. I use solution-focused, strength-based, attachment focused and trauma-informed approaches to help my clients define a desirable change and move towards it while addressing the underlying unresolved issues. I tailor the therapeutic process to my clients' specific needs.

Life can feel overwhelming when you are trying to handle everything on your own. I help people navigate difficult life transitions, manage stress, and build stronger relationships without sacrificing their identity. As a therapist, my approach is direct, collaborative, and focused on practical strategies to get you back in control.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and have worked with clients for over 20 years to improve their mental well-being and life satisfaction.

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.
