Kathryn Chacra
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I am radically accepting of the pain of divorce and breakups. I know that this is a grief that is all too often normalized and shrugged off because it is so common. It matters to me that men and women receive support in navigating through difficult emotions such as hurt, anger, loneliness, and confusion following a breakup, separation, or divorce. Why should anyone be left alone to face the challenges that you might be familiar with? These can include: feeling unsure about yourself, experiencing shame, battling loneliness, struggling to sleep, worrying deeply about finances, feeling apprehensive about reentering the dating scene, and grappling with guilt regarding shared children. Even when there's a clear understanding that change is necessary, it's normal to feel anxious and uncertain about what lies ahead. It's okay to feel a mixture of grief and hope when contemplating life after divorce. I have the experience, knowledge and compassion to guide you through this chapter to help you re-write your story.

Matthew Jones
Licensed Professional Counselor, MSCC, LPC
I began to pursue being a therapist because it is a source of healing and understanding and I want to help nurture that in others. I believe in paying it forward. There is a need to provide affordable and accessible mental health care. Therapy is a tool by which people can grow in the understanding of themselves and the world around them. IT is important to provide ethical and reliable care to those who want and need it. I try to guide the patient through the therapeutic experience by providing REST (Respect, Equality, Safety, and Trust.) This is one of the basic principles that I believe creates a healthy relationship. Come join me a safe space.

Brad Byrum
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, MBA, LMFT
I am sometimes awed, often humbled, and continually inspired by the courage my clients display in working with the psychological suffering in their lives. I am grateful for the gift of being their therapist, offering my own unique array of training, skills, and experience in ways that most support each of them in their unique journeys toward their preferred futures.
Utilizing neurologically informed and mindfulness-based cognitive behavioral approaches, I help clients change how they think, feel, and behave. As my client, I will offer you my full attention, compassionately and mindfully, accepting you just as you are, without judgment. I will focus on your strengths, honor your wisdom, engage with you in your struggles to change what you want to change, and support your self-discovery. Working together, we create a safe space where this can happen, in the way it wants to happen, in you.

Emily Sledge
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LMSW
It's easy to feel worthless when overwhelmed with anxious reactions or depressed thoughts and feelings. I am here to provide you with a safe environment where you can feel truly seen, heard and valued. Healing happens when a safe connection is established - it becomes safe to relax and explore your challenges.
You have value and worth, even if your inner critic wont stop judging you and even if you feel ashamed or embarrassed. I help men and women with depression and anxiety realize their inherent goodness and wholeness again. I help you to learn ways to reconstruct how you think and feel, so that you may have the peace and joy that you deserve in your life.
You have an innate capacity to heal, even when feeling spiritually lost, hurt, scared or confused. It would be an honor to support you in learning and creating practices that help you actively and holistically heal your heart, heal your connection to your body, soothe your mind, and bring inner spiritual peace and joy.
I am a trauma-informed therapist at AUM Integral Wellness, where I utilize both eastern and western practices to assist in your healing process including ACT, DBT, CBT, Somatic therapies (like yoga, breathwork, and meditation). I earned my Masters of Social Work from Colorado State University and am working towards becoming a Licensed Clinical Social Worker under the supervision of Ashley Ray, LCSW-S. I am also a certified yoga instructor and have advanced training in trauma recovery.

Dr. Susan L. Waldo
Psychologist, PhD
Practicing as a psychologist over the last 30 years has been one of the greatest joys of my life. I have been privileged to be invited into the lives of individuals and couples who are suffering and help them find their way to peaceful, fulfilling lives and relationships. Having walked the road from abuse, suffering, tragedy, and mental health disorders to healing myself, I feel especially equipped to help others do the same. Knowing that healing oneself and one’s relationships is possible from personal experience, I am passionate about paying forward the lessons and wisdom I was given.
