Offering therapy sessions in-person from my office in West Arvada, and convenient virtual sessions from anywhere in CO, MT, VT, ID and FL! The jump into adulthood is a wild ride. Even if you seem like you’ve “got it together,” there’s a lot happening—new social circles, changing relationships, big life decisions, and school or work stress that can feel like… a lot. It’s normal to need extra support while figuring out who you are and how you want to show up in the world. I create a safe, judgment-free space where you can talk it out, process what’s going on, and actually feel heard. We’ll work on developing effective coping strategies, building your confidence, learning how to set boundaries, and communicate effectively with those in your life. Sometimes it’s easier to open up to someone outside your everyday life—someone who can help you see things from a different angle without the drama. I have extensive experience working with diverse populations of children and young adults, and I’m passionate about helping people overcome obstacles and thrive. My approach is empathetic, nonjudgmental, and honest. I strive to meet people exactly where they are and support them in moving toward their goals. I grew up in Vermont, lived in Hawai‘i, NYC, and Denver and now call Whitefish, Montana home. When I’m not working, you’ll find me hiking in the mountains, relaxing at the lake, at a live show, or hanging out with my rescue dog, Hendrix.

Beginning therapy—or starting with a new therapist—can feel vulnerable and daunting. As a Licensed Social Worker (LSW), I create a space that feels welcoming, non-judgmental, and safe to support adults who are ready to improve their well-being and navigate life’s transitions with greater clarity, resilience, and self-compassion. My specialties include perinatal mental health and women’s mental health across the lifespan, along with mood and anxiety disorders, stress management, attachment disorders, and more. When working together, you are assured a warm and non-pathologizing approach to care that is grounded in humility and respect for the courage it takes to share your story. I welcome the opportunity to connect for a brief consultation, bringing skill and compassion to your journey no matter where you’re at along the path. I believe each person is the expert in their own life. Therapy is, therefore, a collaborative process, where I listen deeply and work with you to clarify your goals and move toward healing and greater well-being at a pace that feels right for you. Together, we attend not only to areas of pain, but also to your strengths, values, and passions. My approach is warm, person-centered, and strengths-based, drawing flexibly from a range of evidence-based modalities. These include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy. In addition, I am trained in the Gottman Method (Level 1) and use Gottman techniques in my work with couples. As a clinician with lived experience as a mother and more than ten years of experience as an educator, I bring a deep understanding of family systems, child development, and the realities of parenting. This background allows me to support mothers and families with both compassion and practical insight. When I’m not in the office, I love reading, spending time in nature, taking in all kinds of art, and having adventures with my family.

Hi there! My name is Mark (he/him). I am a licensed therapist in Colorado & Ohio. My favorite population to work with is college students — it's an exciting age of discovering your self and the world around you, but it can also be a season of hardship, disappointment, and overwhelm. My undergraduate and graduate school days were some of the most formative of my life, but I also know firsthand how difficult & lonely it can be to juggle the expectations of academics, relationships, finances, and more — not to mention your own developing identity and values. I am here to help those who feel overwhelmed, anxious, or burnt out. I have extensive experience helping young adults in the U.S. and Europe navigate these crossroads. My background in emotionally focused therapy, EMDR, and neurofeedback can help you safely & effectively lean into the discomfort you are currently facing (you need to feel it to heal it!) and develop the courage to continue forward towards the path you desire. You have the answers within you; sometimes we just need some encouragement and direction. Interested in working together? Let's get in touch! I happily offer a free 30-minute phone consult. It would be an honor to walk alongside you during your academic journey.

Have you been feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, a lack of motivation, or isolated? You can feel better! I have 10 years of experience working with people from all different backgrounds and, as a client-centered therapist, I focus on supporting people who are ready to explore how to heal old wounds and make changes that will allow them to live more contently in the present. Many of the people I see are struggling with life transitions, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and/or relationship issues. I work with clients of all ages and find people's willingness to show up in therapy admirable! Have you been feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, a lack of motivation, or isolated? You can feel better!

In sessions, you will be asked to enter your present experience so we can learn more about what is/is not working for you. Together we navigate the changes you want to make. We do this through connection, gaining understanding of your somatic experiences, and exploring the stories you tell yourself about who you are. I am committed to continued professional growth to ensure the clients I work with are receiving high quality care. I aim to empower people to grow while processing emotions and finding connection with their inner voice. Reach out to see if it feels like I might be the right fit for you!

My work as a therapist is grounded in compassion, authenticity, and liberation psychology. I help people navigate trauma while recognizing the ways our relationships, environments, and larger systems can shape our mental health. I have a particular passion for working with adolescents, young adults, and adults from underserved communities, while welcoming clients from all backgrounds. Genuine connection is at the heart of my work. I value open, transparent communication and strive to create a space where you can feel comfortable being yourself. Together, we’ll explore where you’ve been, what you’re experiencing now, and where you want to go. Therapy should help you better understand yourself while building a greater sense of agency in your life. My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, and tailored to your experiences, needs, and goals. I integrate psychoeducation with somatic and cognitive approaches, with a particular focus on how trauma and stress show up in the body. Whether we’re processing difficult experiences, understanding patterns, or developing new ways of responding, my style is compassionate, gently direct, and focused on helping you move forward in a way that feels meaningful to you. My path to becoming a therapist was shaped in part by my own experiences with mental health and the process of finding my way through them. Those experiences strengthened my commitment to care that helps people reclaim a sense of choice, control, and connection. I don’t believe therapists need to leave their humanity at the door. I bring authenticity, curiosity, and genuine connection into the therapy room because I believe those qualities can make the work feel more honest, comfortable, and meaningful. Outside of work, you’ll usually find me skiing, rock climbing, spending time with friends, playing video games, or drinking probably too much coffee. I also grew up near the coast, and the ocean remains one of my favorite places to reset and recharge.

Hi, I’m Katrina Bassett, a therapist dedicated to helping college students navigate the pressures of school life, mental health challenges, and personal growth. Whether you're dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma, or adjusting to major life transitions, I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can process and heal at your own pace. Using evidence-based techniques like Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Somatic Experiencing Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, I aim to help you build resilience, manage overwhelming emotions, and find a sense of balance in your life. College can be tough, but you don’t have to go through it alone. I’m here to help you thrive, not just survive, and work together to set the foundation for long-term mental wellness.

Everyone deserves a space where they can feel safe, accepted, and truly heard—especially when life gets confusing or tough. My goal is to be that space for you, where we can talk through what’s on your mind and help you feel more in control. I work alongside my mini golden doodle, Ellie, who adds to the calm and comforting environment during our sessions. If you’re dealing with overwhelming challenges, whether from past experiences or current pressures, I’m here to help you make sense of it all. This is a place where you can be your authentic self, knowing you won’t be judged. Together, we’ll explore what’s going on in your life and work through it in a way that feels supportive and healing. We’ll also focus on practical ways to handle stress, discover what makes you unique, and develop skills to make life feel more manageable. You don’t need to have it all figured out right now—if you’re ready to explore who you are and find new ways to navigate life’s challenges, I’m here to help you every step of the way.

We believe that everyone is inherently driven to heal and become the fullest version of themselves. By providing children, adolescents and young adults with support and unconditional acceptance, we allow them to become the leaders of their own healing journey. Play therapy for adults?! It may sound quirky, but the essential values of play therapy (connection, emotional expression, facing your challenges with unconditional support) lend themselves beautifully to anyone’s healing process, no matter your age. Young adulthood is a time of tremendous change and transition, but that doesn’t mean you have to sort through all of those challenges on your own. Therapeutic support can be immensely helpful as you really discover who you are, what you want, and how you want to be in the world. If you are interested in learning more about our services, for you or for your child, please feel free to reach out to us! We are happy to offer you a free 30-min consultation to answer any questions you may have.

My approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and somatic therapy, always grounded in empathy, validation, and trauma-informed care. I believe your struggles are rarely just one stand-alone issue — they reflect a combination of your history, your lived experience, and how the world has affected you. Together, we create a collaborative and compassionate environment where you remain in charge, and I'm here to support your journey of healing. My path to becoming a therapist began with my own experience of loss and trauma during a major life transition, when I struggled to access the mental health support I needed. I bring this perspective into my care with you, focusing on your needs and experiences to achieve your healing goals. My hobbies include reading, gardening and spending time outside with my family.

My ideal clients are adults—including the LGBTQIA+ community—seeking relief from trauma, anxiety, depression, religious questioning, or relationship strain. If starting therapy feels intimidating, know that this space is warm, gentle, and completely judgment-free. I ease first-session jitters with a down-to-earth approach and a light touch of humor, meeting you right where you are. Whether you're untangling past trauma, navigating ADHD, or reconnecting with your partner, I help you build clear communication and deep, authentic connections. You don't need to have it all together—we'll take it one safe step at a time.

With nearly 15 years of experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Addiction Counselor (LAC), I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma recovery, substance use recovery, and life transitions. I support adults in creating meaningful change through a collaborative and strengths-based approach, helping you work through emotional challenges, relationship concerns, self-esteem struggles, and the process of healing from past experiences so you can develop greater self-compassion, resilience, and a deeper connection with yourself. I believe in the power of compassionate connection and each person's capacity for growth. That belief shapes how I show up: a supportive, authentic partner in your healing journey, walking alongside you as you gain insight, reconnect with your strengths, and create a life that feels more balanced, meaningful, and fulfilling. Creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered is central to my work, as my goal is to help you build the self-awareness, resilience, and self-compassion needed to create lasting change. I'm passionate about helping you reconnect with yourself, and I see therapy as a journey of self-discovery, healing, and transformation, one that includes both deep emotional work and moments of hope, gratitude, and laughter. Together, we'll work toward an environment where you feel supported, valued, and understood as you build the tools you need. I use evidence-based, person-centered, and integrative therapy approaches to help you heal, grow, and develop those tools. My style is warm and authentic, and I tailor my approach to your unique needs, experiences, and goals, honoring that every individual's path to healing is different. My path to becoming a therapist began with a lifelong desire to understand, support, and help others through difficult seasons of life. Over the years, my experience working alongside individuals facing a variety of challenges has deepened my commitment to providing compassionate, person-centered care. Now, I’m honored to bring warmth, authenticity, and curiosity to each session, as I believe that healing happens through genuine connection and that a safe space allows you to be fully yourself while recognizing your strengths, resilience, and capacity to grow. Outside of work, I love spending time with friends and family, hiking, listening to music, learning to play the bass guitar, reading, exploring my creativity through painting and writing, and cherishing every moment with my beloved dog, Bodhi.

As a psychologist, I approach my work, both in therapy and assessment, through a holistic and trauma-informed lens. I seek to recognize the powerful interconnection between emotional well-being and physical health, in order foster wellness within a person in all areas. Through my passion of working with diverse and marginalized communities, I prioritize social justice and culturally responsive care that recognizes the impact of identity, culture, and lived experiences on mental health and well-being. In my practice, I support individuals experiencing mood-related concerns, chronic and complex health conditions, maternal/perinatal mental health concerns, and trauma-related difficulties. I hope clients leave with greater insight and coping skills which create a stronger sense of self that blooms into a confidence when navigating challenges. I strive to create a therapy experience where clients feel safe, supported, and genuinely understood. My broader vision is to contribute to a community where mental health care is accessible, culturally responsive, and viewed as an essential part of overall well-being.

The clients who see me, often hate to admit that they have reached a place where you need to ask for help. Normally, they can handle just about anything, but the fights, the disconnection and the wondering how they got here is taking up nearly all of their mental space. They feel like second fiddle in their relationship and they just can't take it anymore. The silence between them feels so loud. They know they need to talk about their feelings, but they aren't sure where to start. They feel alone and confused. This is where I come in. I've been working with individuals & couples since 2015 and I know how to help. While I welcome everyone, I specialize in betrayal recovery, helping couples decide whether they stay or go in their relationship and premarital therapy. I use Gottman Method Couples Therapy and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) with my clients. Gottman Method makes sure that you are receiving practical tips and homework on how to take the work home. EFT is experiential couples work that helps the two of you emotionally attune to one another in real time. This approach, empowers my clients to make confident decisions by offering stabilizing, organized, structured work. You don't have to suffer alone. Reach out! I offer free consultations to all potential clients.

30+ years of experience in the mental health field, I work with ages 12-65. I have special discounts for college students with an active ID. Depressed? Anxious? Ready to work on yourself? Or feeling like you need something but not sure what? I am here with a holistic practice to help you get where you want to be!
