Shelby Mainville

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Gunnison, CO


I enjoy taking a person centered, strength based approach to therapy. I like to spend time getting to know my clients, their view of the world, and the experiences that have shaped them. On the surface, substance use has been my speciality, but I find that substance use is typically secondary to underlying mental health or trauma related concerns. Because of that, I have experience in a wide range of concerns and practice with varying approaches suited to meet the individual client's needs.

Therapist

I have been a therapist for 25 years and am currently licensed in both Colorado and Wyoming. My primary emphasis has been in the realm of grief and loss issues (death of a loved one, unresolved grief, job loss, loss of health, loss of meaning, etc.), women's issues, lifespan issues, depression, reactivity, complex PTSD, and relationship counseling. I have an unusual approach to these issues, including a belief in a certain degree of warmth as being healing in the therapeutic relationship.

Christy McCornack

Therapist

Virtual • Denver, CO


My style of therapy works best with those who are seeking healing that goes beyond just the symptoms. I want my clients to move toward a fuller life, that does not stop at just managing symptoms and moving on. Therapy can be scary and sometimes difficult, but there is hope! Therapy can also bring fullness and connection into your life. The therapeutic relationship is essential, and it is of primary concern in my work. I dedicate myself to assuring my clients feel safe to do the hard work to heal. If you are unhappy and seeking more from life, I believe I can help.

I specialize in religious trauma and grief, but can also work with a myriad of issues. I offer a safe place to bring your story and the interpersonal and professional skill to help you move through your pain. I focus much of my therapy on meaning-creation, values, and body-centered interventions.

I have spent much of my own time and finances to my own therapeutic work and believe strongly in the process. Our relationship is central and I understand how difficult it can be to open up to pain in the presence of another. You will find me to be empathetic, understanding, and open. Contact me and start your journey of healing and hope.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Colorado


I provide psychiatric medication management services that are tailored specifically to you and your needs. My practice revolves around working towards creating solutions that work for your life. Whether you are trying medication for the first time, looking to change medications, or wanting to taper off completely, we will go at your pace and process issues together as they arise. I take a full-person approach and will recommend treatments beyond medication. Medication alone is rarely a full solution so those that are ready to put in the effort to get to the core of the issues will work best with me

It can be uncomfortable to decide to seek out help and to share your worries with someone. I strive to create an environment that is nonjudgemental, confidential, and solution focused. I will integrate therapy into our sessions to cultivate insight, appreciation, and understanding of your past and current circumstances.

Controlled substances are used minimally and conservatively in my practice as many of these are not long term solutions. I work with adults of all races, ethnicities, and LGBTQIA2S+. The best way to get connected with me is to visit our website hhmhc.com and submit your information on the "Appointment Request" form.

I approach therapy with warmth, curiosity, and commitment to your mental health journey. This may feel like a holistic and person-centered approach that explores bodily consciousness, emotional processing, belief systems, social supports, cultural upbringing, and past trauma. You can also expect to develop practical tools for managing stress and building resilience as well. Above all, therapy should leave you feeling empowered, capable, and heard. My goal is to foster a safe environment where you feel free to open up without fear of judgement and the accountability to progress towards your goals, both within and beyond our sessions.

Frequently asked questions

Happy patient looking away

Find the right LGBTQ-friendly therapy provider for you

Headway makes it easier to connect with affirming therapists who understand your identity — from finding the right therapist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an LGBTQIA+ Therapist in Denver, CO

Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Denver starts with looking for identity-affirming care. A therapist who offers affirmative therapy, has experience with gender-diverse clients, or lists relevant training such as WPATH-informed care may be a stronger fit for support related to identity, relationships, family dynamics, anxiety, depression, or life transitions. Reading a therapist’s profile can help you see whether their listed specialties and approach match what you want from care.

Denver has many therapy options across neighborhoods like Capitol Hill, Five Points, Baker, and LoDo, but a larger local market can make it harder to narrow the search. Some people prefer an office that is easy to reach from home, work, or transit, while others use virtual sessions to access more LGBTQIA+-affirming therapists across Colorado. As you compare options, look for therapists who explicitly mention LGBTQIA+ populations in their bios, offer appointment times that fit your schedule, and provide a free phone consultation so you can ask about fit before booking.

Therapy in Denver can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs and understand what you may pay before your first session. Headway helps you compare LGBTQIA+ therapists who are accepting new patients, review bios, check estimated session costs after entering your insurance, and book directly when you’re ready.
