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.

Christy A McCornack
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, LMHC
My approach to therapy is one that is based on a deep respect and understanding for the courage it takes to seek support through therapy. I believe that we are most happy when we live a life that is consistent with our values. This allows us to create a meaningful life in the face of the many challenges that life can present to us. My approach is strength-based and insight focused, meaning we will focus on what you do well, what matters to you, and bringing awareness to you as a whole person. For example, we will attend to feelings, thoughts, and body sensations in our sessions, with the intention of bringing more awareness of how you experience the world so you can begin to make more informed decisions and make the changes that will bring you more happiness and peace in your life.

Ryan Ramsey
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
Being authentic matters to me. I show up as a real person in the therapy room, and I want you to feel like you can do the same. My goal is to create a space where you can be yourself, open up, and unpack everything you’ve been carrying: the stress, the thoughts you keep to yourself, the experiences you’ve been through, and all the stuff life has handed you. When people feel safe enough to be honest and real, that’s when therapy really helps.
I’m informal, down-to-earth, and easy to talk to. I believe that the relationship between us is far more important than any technique or theory. When you feel comfortable, understood, and really seen, you’re more likely to take risks, speak your truth, and make real changes.
That said, I do bring strong clinical training when it’s useful. I have advanced training in Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy from the Albert Ellis Institute in New York. REBT is one tool in my toolbox and something we can use to help you understand and challenge your thoughts, shift unhelpful patterns, and create new ways of responding to stress, relationships, and life in general. But therapy with me isn’t rigid or overly structured. It’s a conversation. It’s two humans sitting down, figuring things out together.
If you’re motivated to change, to feel better, to understand yourself more deeply, or to get clearer about where you want your life to go, I can help you.

Soulful Steps, LLC - Jenna Kapp
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
What makes my practice special is the way I strive to create a space where you can feel safe, seen, and truly yourself. I know how important it is to feel comfortable with your therapist, so I focus on building a genuine connection rooted in warmth, trust, and respect.
I don’t believe therapy should feel distant or clinical—it should feel human. I meet each person where they are, honoring their story and moving at a pace that feels right for them. Together, we explore what’s been feeling heavy, what’s getting in the way, and what healing and growth might look like for you.
My approach blends compassion with practical support, helping you not only gain insight but also feel more equipped in your day-to-day life. Whether you’re navigating stress, transitions, self-esteem, or relationships, my hope is that you leave feeling a little more grounded, understood, and supported than when you came in.

Candice Dow
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC,
I believe therapy should be a space where you feel deeply seen, gently challenged, and supported in becoming more fully yourself. My work is rooted in relational healing, trauma-informed care, and a commitment to equity and authenticity. I integrate EMDR, CBT, and attachment-based modalities to support nervous system regulation, emotional resilience, and meaningful change. Whether you're navigating anxiety, perfectionism, identity exploration, or complex trauma, I meet you with curiosity, compassion, and practical tools tailored to your needs. Together, we’ll explore what alignment looks like for you—so healing isn’t just about feeling better, but about living more truthfully.

Damon Dodge
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Therapy works best when it’s honest, focused, and grounded in real life. That’s how I work—with clarity, structure, and respect for your time and goals. We define what matters, examine what’s getting in the way, and do the kind of work that leads somewhere. It’s not about endless analysis—it’s about forward movement.

Rebecca Castle-Waller
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
CURRENTLY ACCEPTING WAITLIST CLIENTS
Hey Survivor, are you tired of feeling guilty and overwhelmed all the time? Everyone else seems so together and you're stuck battling your past? I get it. My name is Rebecca Castle-Waller and I help badass women with trauma become present in their lives and in their relationships, so you can actually enjoy this life you've built.
Many of my clients grew up in chaotic and unstable homes where from a young age they started taking care of others. Making meals, waking their parents up for work, getting their siblings off to school. From there, you went on to take care of your partner and your kiddos while also working hard to keep everything running smoothly. Now with work and relationships and family drama and life you feel constantly stressed out and like you should be doing more. Oh, and you're doing all of this while facing nightmares, flashbacks, numbness, random waves of anger, and the like. Who's taking care of you?
Let's give you a space where you can be your messy, imperfect self so you can finally take care of you. It's time to heal your trauma, you've built an amazing life and you deserve to actually live it.

Ashley Vroegindewey
Pre-Licensed Professional, LPCC
It's important to not feel judged when talking about the things that are causing us stress, depression, anxiety or pain in our lives. It's also important that we are supported in a compassionate manner. These are a few of the things that you can expect when in session with me; a compassionate, nonjudgemental and supportive ear. You can also expect goals and sessions tailored to your individual needs. I do not believe that one form of treatment works for everyone, which is why I practice an integrative approach that utilizes many different tools and techniques in order to tailor your treatment specifically to you.
There does not have to be something "wrong" with you in order to seek services. Some people come to me because they are worried all the time about things they do not need to worry about, some come because they are bad at focusing, some come because they are feeling down or hopeless, some come because they have decided to address a trauma they experienced, and some come because they are stressed over life changes. There is no right or wrong reason or time to come see me. I am ready to provide you the support you need now and in the future.

Amanda Smith
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW, ADHD-CCSP
I work with adults navigating ADHD, anxiety, chronic worry, depression, parenting challenges, and major life transitions. I have advanced credentialing in ADHD and specialize in supporting neurodivergent individuals, helping clients better understand how their unique brains work while building practical strategies for everyday life. I also diagnose ADHD in adults.
Whether you're managing the demands of college, balancing parenting responsibilities, or feeling overwhelmed by constant mental noise, therapy can provide a space to slow down, gain clarity, and create meaningful change.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices. Together, we'll explore patterns that may be keeping you stuck, build on your strengths, and develop tools that support your goals and values. For clients who desire it, I also offer Christian counseling and can thoughtfully integrate faith into our work together.

Nava Narayani
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, RYT
I specialize in helping couples and individuals navigate the complex territory of relationships, with themselves and each other. Whether you're a couple working through conflict, rebuilding intimacy, healing the impact of sexual trauma, exploring premarital counseling, or consciously uncoupling with grace, or an individual ready to break old patterns and reclaim your voice, I offer a space that is safe, nonjudgmental, and alive with curiosity. I believe that real change happens when we feel truly met, and I bring both clinical depth and genuine human warmth to every session. My style is gentle yet direct, and warm yet pinpointed to support your growth.

Melaney Flaniken
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, B.S., Integrative Health Studies M.S., Clinical Mental Health Counseling
My counseling is rooted in trauma-informed care, existential exploration, and evidence-based practices like CBT and ERP. Whether you’re facing anxiety, navigating a life transition, or simply longing for more meaning and connection, we’ll work together to create a space where your voice matters and your goals guide the way.
You won’t get a one-size-fits-all approach here. Instead, you’ll be met exactly where you are—with compassion, curiosity, and a belief in your capacity to grow and heal.
If you're ready to explore your story, shift what’s no longer working, and step into a more empowered version of yourself, I invite you to reach out. Your healing starts with a single conversation—and I’m here when you’re ready.

Greta Carlson, Psy.D., ABPP
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
Welcome! I'm a clinical psychologist with nearly a decade of clinical experience working with children, adolescents, and adults of all ages. I see children, adolescents, and young adults aged 5 and up with depression, chronic PTSD and dissociation, anxiety, OCD, and ADHD. My clients present with a range of concerns, including anxiety, ruminative thoughts, shame feelings, and perfectionism. Having had extensive experience in both psychodynamic psychotherapy and Trauma Focused-CBT, I take an integrative approach when working with clients-I collaborate with you and your child to tailor your goals and address needs for treatment.
While we would tailor treatment to further draw out and address your goals, I work to help you get to know yourself-to name and regulate a range of feelings, identify negative beliefs about yourself, others, or the world, and find healthier ways to cope with strong feelings. I also consider how your past history is relevant to your present relationships.
The decision to seek therapy is such a courageous one. I think, oftentimes, we can tell ourselves that we can "think through" or "solve problems" entirely on our own-it's so difficult to reach out for support! I work at a pace that feels manageable for you or your child, focusing on creating a warm and collaborative alliance for therapy and assessment.

Denver's outdoor culture and apparent wellness orientation coexist with high rates of depression, anxiety, and substance use — a tension many locals recognize. The city's rapid growth and housing pressures have intensified stress for longtime residents and newcomers alike, and therapists frequently address adjustment, relationship strain, and burnout tied to the city's boom-era pace. Denver has a significant veteran population given proximity to several military installations, and therapists specializing in military trauma and PTSD are well represented. UCHealth and SCL Health provide major institutional anchors alongside Denver's large and well-established independent therapy community.
