Therapists in Colorado

I find that people such as yourself seek counseling because you may be seeking a functional balance of your relational, emotional, personal, mental, physical, and spiritual needs. When one of these areas is out of balance, then your mental health can suffer, impacting your relationships, your job, your family, and even your physical health to the point where your life becomes dysfunctional. I want to help assist you in exploring the conditions that led to this imbalance and provide ways of restoring your life back to a positive sense of wholeness and well-being. I do work primarily with adolescents and adults.

Are you struggling to find the joy you once felt? Needing help navigating through the stressors of life? Wanting relief from past traumas that are keeping you from being fully engaged in life? I am here to help! My name is Melissa Blatnik, and I am excited to assist you on your journey to a happier, healthier you! I have worked in the mental health and substance abuse field for 14 years, and I am still as passionate about it today as I was back then. I am an empathetic counselor who provides a safe environment to open up about the struggles you have been through. I look forward to working with you!

Hi and welcome. I am currently only accepting private pay clients at this time. If you feel like we might be a good fit, please give me a call. I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation. I meet people exactly where they are and do not believe in a one size fits all approach. Working with individuals and/or couples on this sometimes confusing yet beautiful journey we call life is a privilege. I am committed to helping recognize patterns and behaviors that may no longer be helpful. I take a very holistic approach to mental health and wellness. I look at the whole person by addressing emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual needs.

SPIRITUALITY + THE NERVOUS SYSTEM | I take a mind-body-spirit approach to therapy. I believe we all have the innate capacity for healing, and by following the body's cues, it will show us how to do just that. I like to work with the nervous system: through big-T Traumas a little-t traumas, many of us are not as regulated as we could be. Reasons to work with me may include depression, anxiety, addiction, relationship difficulties, spiritual emergency, insomnia, trauma, autoimmune issues, self-esteem, clarity of purpose, and deepening connection to yourself.

We all have the right to feel resilient, seen, and valued. Yet sometimes, our experiences cause us to close off the parts of us that desperately want to be noticed and embraced. Through exploring not only our minds — but our bodies, hearts, and souls we can cultivate self-awareness and radical acceptance, grow our capacity for connection and love, and learn to embody wholeness. Together, we co-create a sanctuary for your soul to unfold and blossom. In this sacred space, you are free to express your authentic self, to unravel the layers of your being, and to unearth the hidden treasures that lie within.

Greetings Men! It is my pleasure to make connections with other men and co-navigate the complexities of modern life. My clients are generally in their late 20s to early 60s, are relatively functional in life, have a sense of humor, are ready to be vulnerable and try new things, enjoy the outdoors in their free time, are or once were physically active and enjoyed exercise, and know how to enjoy life to some degree, even if that may be difficult at the moment. What we do: Navigate relationships or divorce, find a connection to something greater, learn to relax, practice communication skills, manage transitions, work/life balance, fun!

Struggles in life can sometimes lead to feelings of hopelessness and desperation. I have a passion to help people find hope and experience life in a fulfilling way.

In 1986, I initially started working in this field as an undergraduate student at the University of Utah where I began an internship with Salt Lake County Youth Services as a youth counselor. In 1992, my wife son and I moved to Denver, Colorado and I have been gaining experience in areas of the Mental Health field since eventually landing here at my private practice located in Colorado Springs, CO in 2019.

It is exhausting to live with the challenges of Anxiety, ADHD, or social difficulties. Life feels stressful and chaotic. You may miss out on activities that you see others enjoy. You can feel alone, stressed, and tired. You try the best you can, but don't get the changes you desire. Don't go without help, please know, life doesn't have to keep being so hard. There is research about what works to help people overcome anxiety, ADHD and social difficulties and create calmer lives. At Mountain Vista Psychology, we take a wholistic, research based approach to getting you the change you need.

I believe everyone has a core self that contains the innate wisdom to heal, grow, and to feel liberated through self compassion. I also believe this part of ourselves gets blocked - physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually - and silenced through various wounds like trauma, belief systems, and the negative messages we receive from others and society. I work especially well with highly sensitive individuals (such as HSPs) and those who are open to mindful and somatic/body awareness therapy techniques to help explore and work with the roots of distress.

I am currently taking new clients for both telehealth and in-person sessions! Please reach out if you are in need of services with your reason for seeking counseling and your insurance!

Addy believes that people are made up of different (emotional, intellectual, relational, and spiritual) components that make them whole. The process of understanding how these pieces fit together is important to healthier boundaries and relationships. She provides insight and skills while walking along side of her client(s).

Hello! You are ready to start counseling-I commend you on taking this courageous and important step! Life doesn't come with a manual- support and guidance are essential for anyone who wants to thrive. Maybe you feel like you've been given advice in the past that just doesn't work. My job isn't to tell you where to go, but to give you effective tools to help you get there.

Stop beating yourself up! We all engage in some unhealthy behaviors at times and we don't need to feel ashamed of these struggles. Maybe we cope with stress by having an unhealthy relationship with food (binging, purging, restricting) or by engaging in self-destructive patterns in an attempt to deal with our extreme feelings. I can help you process your past traumas and allow you to create a new path for yourself based on self-compassion. The world doesn't have to be a scary, lonely place.

You don't have to do this alone. I am here for you. Congratulations on taking this challenging step: finding a therapist. It takes courage and it is a very important first step, as the relationship with your therapist is the most effective component to making lasting changes in your life. I will provide you with a safe, non-judgmental, caring environment and offer an authentic therapeutic relationship so that you can begin to look within and develop self-awareness, self-compassion, and break free from patterns of thinking and behavior that no longer serve you.

Anxiety, depression, trauma/PTSD, mood disorders can feel confusing and painful while interrupting daily functioning. This can create struggle in our relationships, at home, work, financially. Looking for a way to navigate and manage some of the chaos life can bring without judgement is a brave first step, in making positive change! Therapy can help us become the better version of ourselves. Let's work together to identify what you would like to change or add to your life and strengthen the possibilities within. In order to better accommodate additional insurances and client preferences, I work with both Alma, and Headway.

Many people wonder if they've "waited too long" before starting therapy, but as long as you are committed to working on the relationship, progress is very achievable! Whether you are in a new relationship and wanting to be proactive or feel that you have years of built up resentment and negative relationship dynamics behind you, our work together will help you get where you want to be.

I believe that in using insight oriented therapy, the individual develops a greater capacity to understand and work through their struggles. Vitality Counseling's empowerment model allows the individual to take greater ownership of their struggle and in doing so identify ways to regain control of ones life. Through the empowerment model, I will help you to identify your current internal conflict and/or stressors, bring greater awareness to how these struggles and choices are impeding ongoing growth and support you in the journey of making difficult changes and accepting different outcomes.
