Colin Pickles
Psychologist, PsyD
I specialize in the treatment of relationship concerns, communication issues, anxiety, and depression, and the LGBTQ+ community. My goal is not just to help you feel better, but to better understand how your history and internal narratives guide your feelings and behavior. In doing so, we can find ways to adjust these narratives and can wind down sessions with applied idea to practice so that you leave with a sense of direction and confidence.

Michael Lockwood of Scene Creative Life Solutions
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LMSW
Most men who reach out to me aren’t falling apart, they’re holding everything together while feeling numb, overwhelmed, or disconnected inside. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. You don’t need perfect words or a dramatic story to work with me. You just need the truth of where you are.
My work is grounded, direct, patient, and honest. I help men explore the deeper layers of identity, trauma, shame, and relationships, the things you were never given the space to talk about. I’m not here to lecture you or nod quietly. I’m here to help you understand yourself in a way that finally makes sense and opens something inside you that’s been shut for a long time.
If you’re ready for therapy that actually means something, I’m here for you.

Averill Hovey
Art Therapist, MA, MA, LPC-S, ATR-BC, EMDR
I believe therapy is most meaningful when you feel genuinely seen, understood, and able to show up as yourself. My approach is warm, collaborative, creative, and grounded in the belief that there is no single way to heal or create change.
I work with adults, couples, and families navigating anxiety, trauma, grief, relationships, life transitions, and the many complicated seasons of being human. As a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor, Board Certified Art Therapist, and EMDR therapist, I draw from talk therapy, art and expressive approaches, EMDR, and other experiential methods. You never need to consider yourself “artistic” to benefit from creative work, and we will always shape therapy around what feels useful and authentic to you.
I see my role not as someone who has all the answers, but as someone who can help you slow things down, notice patterns, understand yourself more deeply, and discover possibilities that may be difficult to see when you are in the middle of things. Therapy can hold both seriousness and humor, reflection and action, vulnerability and strength.
Above all, I hope to create a space where you can be curious about yourself without judgment and where the work feels human, connected, and uniquely yours.

Colorado Springs is one of the most militarized cities in the United States, home to Fort Carson, Peterson Space Force Base, Schriever Space Force Base, NORAD, and the United States Air Force Academy — creating exceptional demand for therapists who specialize in military trauma, PTSD, moral injury, and the challenges of military family life. The city also has a large evangelical Christian population and many conservative religious families, making faith-integrated therapy a particularly prominent offering among local practitioners. UCHealth Memorial Hospital provides institutional mental health resources alongside a private practice community serving both the military community and the city's growing civilian population. Colorado Springs' proximity to Denver means some residents access additional specialist care in the larger metro, though the local therapy community has grown substantially in recent years.
