Addiction therapists & psychiatrists in Durango, CO

Hi! I'm Molly. I love being a therapist and feel so honored to be trusted with the tender work of healing. I'm a licensed clinical social worker, which basically just means that I'm a therapist who looks at both the person and their relationship with their larger environment. I've worked with ages 1-70+, diagnoses across the board, and in a variety of settings - a psychiatric hospital, medical detox for substance use, community mental health, intensive outpatient, residential, and in-home. Maybe you've been in some of those settings yourself! Wherever your path has taken you, I'm happy to walk alongside you in this present chapter.

Taking the first step toward healing is a courageous act, and I’m here to support you on this journey. Whether you’re navigating challenges like depression, anxiety, substance use, relationship difficulties, or life stress, I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore your needs. Together, we’ll identify your goals and work toward building the clarity, confidence, and balance you deserve.

Most people who finally reach out have been putting it off for a while, waiting to feel ready or wondering whether what they're going through is serious enough to count. I'm Victoria, a Licensed Professional Counselor with more than 10 years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and seniors navigating anxiety, depression, relationship stress, and the life transitions that knock you off your footing. I also hold specialized certifications in substance use, so if that's part of what you're carrying, you're in good hands. Clients often describe me as approachable, honest, and steady.

I offer virtual or in-person therapy sessions in Castle Rock, Colorado. I know what it's like to struggle with depression, addiction, and narcissistic abuse. I became a therapist and an energy healer after going through my own "dark night of the soul." Many clients tell me that they relate to me because I have been though similar experiences and know what it's like to push through depression, and overcome addiction and trauma. My goal isn't to help you merely mask symptoms, but to help you navigate through them while healing the underlying roots, staying grounded, and discovering your most authentic self and a life of fulfillment and thriving.

I’m a psychiatric nurse practitioner who works from the belief that people are not broken—and that many of the struggles we call “mental illness” make sense when we look at trauma, context, and lived experience. I’m especially attuned to the ways mental health systems, stigma, and labels can unintentionally cause harm, and I aim to practice in a way that feels respectful, collaborative, and deeply human.

My approach is unconventional and trauma-informed, influenced by perspectives like those of Gabor Maté, which emphasize compassion, curiosity, and understanding symptoms as meaningful responses rather than defects. I do not believe in rushing to pathologize the human experience. As Joni Mitchell once reflected about depression, sometimes what we’re feeling is not an illness to be fixed, but a signal—an honest response to pain, loss, or a world that has not been kind.

With an extensive background spanning the full continuum of care—from outpatient services to long-term inpatient mental health—I have dedicated my career to supporting individuals across a vast spectrum of life experiences. My professional journey has been shaped by the guidance of exceptional mentors and supervisors who have instilled in me a commitment to continuous growth as a provider.

I have had the privilege of serving a wide range of populations, including:

• Adolescent mothers and youth in the foster care system
• Individuals within youth corrections
• Military veterans and those navigating the complexities of post-service life
• Survivors of domestic violence in recovery
• The geriatric population and adults navigating significant life transitions

I believe that true healing and growth begin with authenticity. Long before it became a trending term, I sought to show up as my authentic self in every room—whether presenting to a leadership team in a government agency or sitting one-on-one with a client late into the evening.

My style is rooted in transparency. I recognize my own strengths and deficits, a practice that keeps me grounded and humble while giving me the confidence to face life’s most daunting challenges alongside my clients. I don’t believe in a "one-size-fits-all" approach; instead, I meet my clients exactly where they are, viewing them as the true experts of their own lives.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, and thank you for taking the first step in “taking back your life” from a mental illness. I feel that each person possess’ the needed internal mechanisms for success in their life. My goal is to assist you through integrative, lifestyle, and medication management combined with the internal strengths you possess to assist in guiding you through this journey we call life. I have been in the health care field for 12+ years.

I’m Francie Blair, an LCSW who works from a trauma-informed, strengths-based lens. I support clients dealing with anxiety, depression, family rupture, grief, and difficult life transitions. I center safety, connection, and empowerment, helping clients build tools to regulate their nervous system, understand their patterns, and move toward healthier relationships—with themselves and the people they care about.

I specialize in Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, a practical and modern approach that helps you

move forward instead of getting stuck in the past. If you’ve tried therapy before and felt it missed

the mark, or if you’re hesitant to begin, my style is supportive, goal-oriented, and centered

around real progress. Together, we’ll focus on what’s already working, build on your strengths,

and create meaningful steps toward lasting change.
