I'm so glad you're ready to take action! Starting therapy is courageous. My goal is to walk alongside you and encourage you further. I consider my role as therapist an immense privilege, and seeing people grow and heal through therapy never gets old!
Hello and welcome! My name is Melinda and I am a licensed therapist in CO and FL. For over 7 years, I’ve walked alongside women and children healing from trauma and major life transitions. I am passionate about creating a safe, gentle space for your unique healing journey.
I work from a client centered and trauma informed approach addressing all aspects of a client's whole self, to help the client find healing, hope and freedom to navigate life's challenges and learn to thrive. Although I work with clients of all ages, I specialize in working with adolescents and young adults. I am committed to instilling hope in the lives of clients and their families. I love what I do and feel honored to have the opportunity to walk along side of you during this season of life.
As an experiential therapist with a background in the emergency medical field, I use a strengths-based, open approach, primarily drawing on cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy techniques. I am also EMDR trained and have 20 years of experience in trauma counseling. I specialize in working with first responders and healthcare professionals.
I am a trauma-focused therapist and I work with adolescents, adults and couples navigating anxiety, depression, PTSD, childhood abuse, and other distressing life experiences.
Many of the solutions we seek are already inside of us. They can be hard to find, but it is possible. Using talk therapy and emotional regulation skills, we’ll work together to identify goals and practices that fit with the life you’re eager to live. I will provide compassionate, steady support as you navigate anxiety, depression, family or relationship challenges, recovery from addiction, and the impacts of ADHD.
I tailor therapy to meet your individual needs and always consider cultural and social context. I also collaborate with other therapists to offer educational and support groups several times a year. Using a combination of physical, emotional, and cognitive tools, we’ll work to improve daily functioning, strengthen coping skills, and increase the joy and ease in your life.
I earned my Master’s in Counseling from Regis University, and I work with adults across a variety of life stages and transitions.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Golden
Finding the right therapist in Golden, CO starts with identifying what you want to address. Common reasons people in the Golden area seek therapy include anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and life transitions. Look for a licensed provider — such as an LPC, LCSW, psychologist, or psychiatrist — who has experience with your specific concerns. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their approach and decide if they might be a good match.
Golden is a smaller community, so you may also want to consider providers in nearby cities like Lakewood, Wheat Ridge, and Arvada, or those who offer virtual sessions across Colorado. Having flexibility with format and location can open up more options, especially if you're looking for a specific specialty or therapy style like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) or Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).
Therapy in the Denver metro area can be expensive, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Confirming your coverage upfront can help you focus on finding the right provider rather than worrying about cost.
