Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Salida, CO

My name is Danielle, and I was born and raised in Colorado Springs. As a former college athlete, I have always valued movement, balance, and living an active lifestyle. In my free time, I enjoy swimming, hiking, running, biking, and spending weekends in the mountains, along with being a mother to my two precious children! 🥰

I earned my Master’s degree from University of Denver, where I discovered my passion for psychology and understanding human behavior. Throughout my career, I have worked with children, adolescents, teenagers, and adults across a variety of treatment settings. I have extensive experience supporting individuals struggling with eating disorders, depression, anxiety, trauma, learning disabilities, autism, personality disorders, identity concerns, and other mental health challenges. I believe there is no “one-size-fits-all” approach to therapy. I enjoy taking an integrative and individualized approach to treatment, meeting clients where they are while supportively walking alongside them throughout their journey. My therapeutic style is compassionate, empathetic, and client-centered. My goal is to help clients cultivate inner peace, self-acceptance, and resilience as they navigate life’s many transitions and adventures.

Professionally, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Colorado (License #LPC.0015577, 2017). I have worked in inpatient, partial hospitalization, residential treatment, and traditional outpatient settings within the mental health field. I have specialized training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), both of which I incorporate into my practice. I am also certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy and board certified in neurofeedback therapy (BCN)!

I hold a Master’s Degree in Clinical Social Work from Walden University, with a concentration in trauma-informed care. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Licensed Addiction Counselor (LAC), as well as certified in Art Therapy, Play Therapy, and Sandplay Therapy. My early career centered on supporting children and families navigating trauma, substance use, and instability, as well as individuals transitioning from incarceration and reintegrating into their communities. These experiences continue to shape my person-centered, integrative approach to care.

In my practice, I support adults and children through an individualized, holistic lens. My therapeutic philosophy draws from Person-Centered, Holistic, and Psychodynamic therapies—approaches that value empathy, self-awareness, and exploration of the connections between past and present. I believe all people have an innate capacity for growth, resilience, and healing when they are met with safety, compassion, and curiosity.

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.

Hi, I’m Emily. I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and Licensed Addiction Counselor (LAC) specializing in relationships, family systems, substance use, and co-occurring mental health challenges. I work with individuals, couples, and families navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, bipolar disorder, panic disorder, ADHD, identity exploration, grief, chronic illness, and end-of-life concerns.

Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed by emotional ups and downs, struggling with relationship conflict, managing substance use concerns, or coping with co-occurring disorders like anxiety and depression alongside addiction. You may feel stuck in repeating family patterns, battling intrusive thoughts, experiencing mood instability, panic attacks, impulsivity, or feeling disconnected from yourself and others.

With experience in inpatient treatment settings and diverse cultural environments, I bring a deep appreciation for the complexity of the human experience. I am LGBTQ+ affirming and culturally responsive, and I approach each client with curiosity, compassion, and respect for their lived experience.

I often say “we” when talking to clients because I’ve lived through many of the circumstances they find themselves in . I know they need information to better understand what they are dealing with . Additionally , I believe they need empathy and patience as they move forward toward the best days of their lives .

Are you feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, anxious, or struggling to find balance in your daily life? You do not have to navigate it alone. I provide compassionate, personalized mental health care in a supportive and judgment-free environment where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered.
