Andrea Filson

I obtained a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling with a specialization in Trauma and Crisis Response in 2013, and I'm a credentialed Licensed Professional Counselor, and Licensed Addictions Counselor in the State of Colorado. The clients I typically see present with a wide variety of issues, including, but not limited to: depression, anxiety, trauma/PTSD, substance use disorders, relational distress, life transitions, self-esteem issues, burnout, and stress management. For more information, please see my website: https://bluehourbehavioralhealth.com/

My primary modalities are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I also draw from Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT).

Most clients say they feel at-ease and comfortable with me from our first interaction. I understand that generally when people seek therapy, things aren't going well. It takes time explore and untangle those thoughts and feelings. Giving up unhealthy coping skills is hard. Change is hard! My goal is to join you where you're at, and to provide clarity, direction, compassion, and support while also challenging you to discover and try new perspectives, habits, behaviors, and experiences.
