Therapist

I have found my own personal healing to be intimately connected to nature, and it is here that I believe that we can all begin to rediscover our intrinsic humanity and let go of those things that distract us from our higher selves. In my spare time, I work as an outdoor educator and manage my own private practice and guide Outdoor Retreats

I believe it is helpful and important to translate what is discussed in session and in telehealth meetings into lived experience and real change.

Malorie McHugh

Therapist

Virtual • Golden, CO


I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who works primarily with children, adolescents, young adults, and families navigating emotional intensity, relational stress, and life transitions. My practice focuses on helping young people feel more regulated, understood, and confident in who they are, while supporting caregivers in strengthening connection and emotional safety at home.

I have training in attachment-based and experiential therapies, including Emotion Focused Family Therapy (EFFT), and I incorporate trauma-informed approaches to help clients build insight and resilience. I am especially passionate about supporting youth through nature-based therapy and providing affirming care for LGBTQ+ clients.

My background includes working with adolescents experiencing anxiety, depression, family conflict, identity exploration, and emotional dysregulation. I strive to create a space where clients feel safe, respected, and empowered to grow.

Bradley Bemis

Bradley Bemis

Therapist

Virtual • Lakewood, CO


Something brought you here. Maybe it's the anxiety that won't quiet down, the depression that won't go away, your reliance on substances holding you back, or the weight of traumatic experiences you've been carrying longer than you can remember. Or maybe it's something else entirely. I'm Bradley — a master's level mental health and addiction counselor who knows what it means to be human and how to navigate the challenges of our full human experience. I spent over three decades in business, technology, consulting, teaching, training, and military service before devoting my life to service. Since 2015, I've worked as a mindfulness, meditation, and contemplative wisdom teacher, a somatic practice guide and natural medicine facilitator, a researcher, writer, and now as a therapist. Today, I help my adult clients navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, and the deeper questions that often lie beneath them. I also support people through major life transitions, grief and loss, existential inquiry, identity exploration, career alignment, family dysfunction, relationship dynamics, and more — combining evidence-based practice, modern neuroscience, applied psychophysiology, and contemplative reflection into a holistic approach that focuses on the root causes and conditions that cause suffering in our lives. I know what it is to stand on one side of the doorway and I know what it is to stand on the other side of that very same doorway and now I help others cross the threshold for themselves... If I can help you cross that threshold, if you're ready, then I'm here.

Therapist

I’m really glad you’re here.

Many of the people I work with are used to being capable, thoughtful, and strong for others, but inside, something feels off. You might be dealing with anxiety, depression, burnout, or a sense that you’ve lost connection with yourself. Sometimes it’s not just about what’s happening right now, but patterns that have been quietly shaping your life for a long time.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Colorado, with over 20 years experience working across a wide range of settings, including community mental health, mobile crisis and co-response, skilled nursing, public health, and critical access hospitals. This background allows me to meet you where you are, whether you’re navigating everyday stress or something more complex, to bring both depth and compassion to our work.

I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, substance use concerns, life transitions (career, relationships, health, identity shifts), and the lingering impact of stress or past experiences.

Choosing a therapist can feel like a daunting and vulnerable step, and I want to honor the courage it takes to begin. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I work with adults ages 25 to 85, bringing a long, richly lived life experience that allows me to meet you with steadiness, perspective, and compassion. My approach is grounded in unconditional positive regard—I believe you are worthy of respect and understanding exactly as you are. I can’t fix anyone, but I am very good at helping people heal themselves from the wounds life brings and to navigate the changes that shape us all.
