Vida Mendez
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LICSW, EMDR II
I didn’t become a therapist to sit quietly and nod. I believe therapy should be a place where you can show up honestly and do meaningful work, not perform or filter yourself.
My perspective was shaped by years working closely with people navigating difficult and high-stakes situations. That experience taught me that people’s reactions, patterns, and defenses make sense when you understand what they’ve been through.
I value authenticity, honesty, and being fully present in my work. I show up as a real person, and you can expect directness, respect, and genuine engagement.
I also place a high value on continuing to learn and deepen my understanding of trauma and human behavior. This commitment helps me better understand my clients and support meaningful, lasting change.

Patty Murray
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I have a deep appreciation for peoples ability to feel both profound sadness/anger, happiness/love and everywhere in-between. I believe that the more we can understand and give non-judgmental attention to our pain or the parts of ourselves that suffer, the more opportunity there is to heal -- grow a deepened connection to self, others, and have an overall sense of "okayness" or even aliveness.

Brian W. Keating
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
I work with adults who are new to therapy and/or have had negative experiences in childhood whether defined as trauma, neglect, or general emotional inattention or wounding. I often hear that my approach can feel like a natural conversation, putting patients at ease when trying therapy for the first time or when looking for a more relational approach.

Rachelle Davis
Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist MA
Life can bring challenges at every stage. You may be feeling overwhelmed, struggling with self-esteem, experiencing difficulties in your relationships, or facing changes that leave you unsure of what comes next. Having a space to talk openly and explore what you’re experiencing can be an important step toward feeling better.
I am a Registered Psychotherapist in Colorado with a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University and more than 20 years of experience in the mental health field. I work with adult women and adolescents experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship and family difficulties, self-esteem concerns, and significant life transitions.
Much of my earlier clinical experience involved working with adolescents and their families in school-based, outpatient, and residential settings. The teenage years can bring many changes as young people develop their sense of identity, navigate friendships and peer relationships, and figure out where they fit in. I provide a supportive space where teens can express themselves, better understand their emotions, build confidence, and develop healthier ways of managing the challenges they face.
I also enjoy working with adult women who may be balancing the demands of family, relationships, work, and other responsibilities while trying to make sense of their own needs and experiences. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, relationship difficulties, changes in your life, or questions about your sense of self, therapy can offer an opportunity to gain perspective, strengthen self-esteem, and explore new ways of approaching familiar challenges.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and individualized. I draw from several therapeutic approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, person-centered therapy, family systems, and psychodynamic therapy. I value both deeper exploration and practical strategies that can be helpful in everyday life.
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, but you don’t need to have everything figured out before reaching out. If you’re considering therapy for yourself or your teen, I invite you to contact me for a free initial phone consultation. It’s an opportunity to ask questions, share what you’re looking for, and see whether working together feels like a good fit.
