I am currently accepting new clients! Hi, my name is Bryden, I do not use AI to write these statements(!), and I am specifically hoping to work with folks experiencing postpartum depression, anxiety, OCD, and other changes in mood and mental health following a pregnancy. I work with clients going through challenges with fertility, who have experienced pregnancy loss at any stage, or who are pregnant and preparing for birth and the postpartum experience. I bring my focused expertise and ample training in these areas specifically—as well as my personal experiences and genuine connection with my clients—to my sessions, and I love it!

How many times have you told yourself, 'this year it will be different' abut you might find yourself in the same loop of unhappiness and low motivation to change anything. You give and give, trying to make everyone happy around you, and it sometimes works and sometimes not. Now you feel drained, exhausted and a big depressing feeling has settled in your chest, making it hard to breathe. There is a way out! Whatever coping mechanism you have tried has not worked, and it might have become a problem of its own (Substance Use). It is time to try something different! It is time to give yourself a chance on happiness!

It’s 2026. The world is weird and your nervous system is tired. You're pretty confident you've identified WHY you're struggling but you can't seem to figure out WHAT to do about it. I work with people stuck in the space between who they’ve been and who they’re becoming. Often this looks like a collaborative exploration of the experiences that shaped you and how they affect the way you move through the world today. We’ll identify the strengths that still serve you and resolve the emotional injuries that hold you back.

Hey Survivor, looking for a space where you can finally be vulnerable and imperfect enough to heal yourself and/or your relationship?
You (likely) identify as a woman. You grew up in a chaotic and traumatic household, and statically you experienced sexual violence before the age of 18. From a young age you started picking up slack, taking care of others, becoming your own parent. You learned to keep yourself safe by being what other people need, smoothing things over, ignoring your intuition. Likely you left home early, which left you vulnerable to your first serious relationship with someone much older and unsafe/unhealthy.

As a therapist, I strive to create a space for my clients that feels both practical and deeply healing. We’ll explore what’s happening in your life now while also understanding the experiences that shaped you. Along the way, you’ll gain tools to manage stress and overthinking, feel more at peace, and find clarity so you can move forward in life in alignment with what you value. Therapy isn’t about “fixing” you - it’s about stepping out of survival mode and into a more sustainable, fulfilling way of living and relating.

As an adult, you are beginning to realize that your childhood wasn’t “just normal”. You got away from total chaos in your family. Or maybe you left the church/religion. Or you have been rejected by past community for your sexual or gender identity. You thought you could move on but you can’t. This experience has left you totally destabilized. It feels like anxiety and depression are tag teaming. You don’t know who you are anymore. You feel so alone. All of your friends who didn’t have this experience just don’t get it. At the very least you just want to feel normal but what even is that?

Hi there! I work with couples in Denver, or virtually across Colorado, seeking couples therapy for communication challenges, infidelity repair, premarital counseling, or support navigating non-monogamy and open relationships. Couples may be working through sexual, emotional, or financial infidelity, feeling disconnected or stuck in recurring conflict, or wanting to build a strong foundation before marriage or long-term commitment. These couples value empathy, curiosity, and accountability and are willing to reflect on their patterns to create meaningful change. I work exclusively with couples and relationship systems.

I have 20+ years of experience in mental health supporting high-functioning individuals who may be feeling stuck and in need of actionable tools, not just gaining insight about their struggles. I work with individuals and couples who want measurable progress as they navigate life transitions, stress, anxiety, depression and addictive process. Some may be stepping into a new role at work, facing the realities of aging or healing from painful losses and traumatic experiences.

Many people are seeking therapy right now because the world has become louder, harsher, and less safe. You may be noticing increased anxiety, exhaustion, anger, grief, or numbness, or realizing that old trauma responses are surfacing under chronic stress. I work with clients who are navigating trauma, abuse, family system harm, systemic harm and who are ready to stop self-blaming and start understanding their responses in context. My practice centers women of all identities, including LGBTQ+ women, Black women, Indigenous women, and women of color, with an emphasis on safety, clarity, and reclaiming personal agency.

Hi, I’m Dr. Ava Schumacher, a clinical health psychologist. Whether you’ve been struggling to manage chronic pain, facing a life-changing new diagnosis, or navigating chronic illness, health challenges affect more than just the body. Physical health and symptoms, stress, mood, cognitive patterns, and sleep all interact in complex and dynamic ways. Because the mind and body are so interconnected, there are often more opportunities for improvement and healing than people realize. I specialize in using evidence-based, practical approaches so you feel better, function better, and regain a greater sense of control and quality of life.

I love working with adults that seek to appreciate and trust themselves. Our relationship to ourself can be harmed by painful life experiences, bias and oppression, anxiety, depression and unhealthy relationships. We may blame and disconnect from ourselves in order to fit a mold, feel loved or survive difficult life events. Therapy sessions are a time for folks to reconnect with themselves. Our work together can lead to a better understanding of needs and strengths so each client can navigate their life with a sense of self compassion and respect.

I am a therapist who works with others to define and pursue meaning and paths forward throughout the therapeutic relationship. The human-to-human relationship is the most important aspect of any therapeutic relationship. Everyone has their rock bottoms and dreaded low points, some more frequent than others, and it is in these moments that we seek out our most precious memories and experiences, drawing upon the peace we have felt from others to garner hope for a future with more light to come. At times, we have to be creative, and I strive to be one of these lights in the minds and hearts of my clients in these inevitable moments.

Many people are feeling the weight of the world right now, politically, socially, and emotionally. If you're feeling overwhelmed by the state of everything, you're not alone. Maybe you’ve spent a long time being the responsible one, the helper, the one who keeps everything together. Inside, though, it feels heavy, and that inner critic never seems to give you a break. In therapy with me, you get to breathe and be fully you. I show up warm, real, and down-to-earth so you can do the same. Together we slow things down, listen to what your emotions and body are trying to say, and make space for healing, humor, and genuine compassion.

On the outside, your life looks good—the career, the family, the vacations, the nights out. But inside, something feels off. Many clients come in feeling shut down, emotionally alone, or disconnected in their relationships. They may look like they have it all together but quietly feel stressed, overwhelmed, or unsure how to make things better. You can find out more about me and my practice on ig: mindfulalliancetherapy

Personally and professionally, I believe that human relationships have the most capacity for damage and most capacity for healing. I practice under the ethos that the best indicator of successful therapy is the relationship built between therapist and client. Our unique relationship serves as a container to this time of your life and the issues that are ready to be seen, felt and metabolized. Within that container, you will be able to experience yourself within a safe relationship and know the felt sense of being connected to yourself while being witnessed by another.
