Two personal virtues I value greatly are learning and curiosity. I will bring these two attitudes to the therapy room and with you to ensure that we develop concepts and theory that fits your experiences. I am currently completing my PhD in Counselor Education with my dissertation focusing on neuroscience-informed treatment. Our internal signals are as powerful as our external reactions. Together, we can use these techniques to quantify treatment!
I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with teenagers and older and I believe that the therapeutic relationship is vital to the success of therapy. I have years of experience working with children, teenagers and young adults, focusing on anxiety, depression, ADHD, and trauma. My approach is to be open-minded, compassionate, supportive and encouraging with an end goal to help you develop the coping skills or address the issue to be able to navigate life to its fullest. My goal is to challenge you while offering a non-judgmental space for you to process feelings and discover your inner self.
I earned my graduate degree in Social Work at the University of South Carolina and my undergraduate at Iowa State University in Child Adult and Family Studies and Psychology. My background includes years in settings working with at-risk youth, school social work and more recently in person at an equine therapy agency working with teenagers and adults. All of these experiences have shaped how I view mental health and how important it is to treat the whole person.
Hi. My name is Melinda. I have been working in the field of Mental Health and Substance Use/Abuse since 2005. I have been trained and offer resources for CBT, DBT, Solution-Focused, Mindfulness, Trauma-informed and many other styles of therapy.
Hi, I'm Tim and I've been in the counseling field for the past 6 years now, where I have worked in various settings helping individuals parcel out what's going on for them at that given moment. What I have come to learn during these past 6 years is to listen for what might be the underlying factors that are causing disruption or consequences in one's life. My training has allowed me to develop this approach through existential, humanistic, and behavioral psychology models. We have a lot going on and things get enmeshed in our lives. I'm here to listen.
My therapeutic approach is open and straightforward. I use only scientifically-based methods, years of experience and customized techniques, to match your specific needs.
My style is direct, encouraging, culturally informed, creative and trauma trained.
My practice specializes in:
- Individuals with family histories of trauma, abuse, addiction, and abandonment
- Couples hoping to improve their relationships
- Parents striving to do their best

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Wheat Ridge
Searching for therapists in Wheat Ridge starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want help with. You may be looking for support with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, work stress, or a major life change. As you compare therapists, look for specialties, therapy styles, and experience that fit your needs. A therapist’s bio can show whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy.
Wheat Ridge is a smaller city, so local in-person therapy options may be more limited than in nearby Denver. Virtual appointments can expand your search while keeping your care with a therapist licensed in Colorado. When you review therapists, consider appointment times, whether they are accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand each therapist’s communication style, areas of focus, and what to expect in a first session.
Therapy in Wheat Ridge can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, check estimated out-of-pocket costs, and book directly when you are ready.
