Stephane Serrano, MA, LPC, LAC
You are here because you are looking to make some important changes and live a fulfilling and
meaningful life. That is where our relationship comes into play. You will find authenticity, warmth, and unconditional positive regard when you work with me. My goal is to create a trusting, supportive, and accepting environment in which you feel safe to explore and empowered to grow. I will walk beside you every step of the way as you embark on a journey of self-discovery and change.
Together, we will navigate the complexities of depression, anxiety, stress, substance use, life transitions, relationship issues, or whatever causes you distress. I have experience working with individuals from all walks of life. In addition, with a background as a Licensed Addiction Counselor (LAC), I bring specialized support for those facing substance use issues. I take a client-centered and existential approach to therapy, creating an environment in which clients feel empowered to make the changes they want to make in their lives. I also incorporate cognitive-behavioral, dialectical-behavioral, solution focused, trauma informed and mindfulness-based interventions.

Joseph Vanderhoff, MA, LPCC
​We all strive to be better versions of ourselves. We all need connection, purpose, and meaning to facilitate growth and inspire the change we long for in our lives. I enjoy working with people who are motivated, open, and genuinely curious to learn more about themselves. By allowing the unconscious to become conscious, it can help you experience greater freedom and agency in your life. What obstacles are currently preventing you from having happier, healthier relationships and becoming the best version of yourself? Together we will work to understand your individual needs and learn how to help you attain your therapeutic goals.
I specialize in an integrative approach combining Psychodynamic and Existential-Humanistic approaches grounded in neuroscience. I will help you identify patterns, where they came from, and help you attain more freedom to move forward. We will explore the meaning and purpose in your life to help facilitate authentic connection to yourself and others.
It is commendable that you are reading this right now and even considering taking this step towards change. If we choose to work together, I will work to create an environment where you can explore vulnerable parts of yourself and take risks. I hope to help you know your authentic self and to cultivate deep and meaningful relationships in your life.

Adam Love, MA, LPCC
Life’s challenges—pain, disconnection, struggle—are inevitable, but imagine navigating them with a compassionate companion and guide. The ability to sit with discomfort and uncertainty enhances the capacity to better respond to those challenges.
Through the use of individually-tailored evidence-based interventions, I aim to collaborate with you to meet your goals and to facilitate an environment where growth and change are possible. I seek to help clients foster greater connectedness and conscious choice moment to moment.
Additionally, I am dedicated to embedding values of belonging and cultural humility into my work in order to honor and include the unique identities, relationships, and systems each client is a part of.
Together, we will work to restore a sense of vitality and imagination to life, cultivating the capacity to more fully live with both the joys and sorrows.

Marisa Lucia Mestas Duey, MA, LPCC
Choosing to embark on your healing journey can feel daunting, but you don’t have to walk it alone. With an intention in creating a safe, collaborative space, I welcome you to explore all of your experiences through a lens of compassion and acceptance. In building an authentic sense of trust and connection, together, we can honor all parts of your path, wherever that may lead.
With values tied to the power of human connection, and honoring diverse perspectives, I aim to foster an environment tailored to your unique individualized healing journey.
My approach to counseling is rooted in fostering the internal capacities that you already
possess, towards self-awareness, growth, and healing. I lean into Relational Cultural Theory (RCT), that supports dismantling the historical harm that can be experienced in our societal
systems.
​
In addition to working with adults, I work with children and adolescents.
I look forward to being on a healing journey together.

Matt Bynum MA, LPC
Sometimes our conditioned tendencies prevent us from living the life we want to live. I believe therapy can be a laboratory, of sorts, to explore these obstacles and learn to live more in line with one’s desired values. I use humor, trust, and a genuine relationship so that you can cultivate the skills necessary to improve the quality of your life. I work with individuals from a variety of backgrounds with issues ranging from grief and loss, shame and guilt, life transitions, anxiety, and substance use. My work is influenced by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), experiential therapies, existential therapy, and a variety of mindfulness practices. I will work with you to help explore obstacles, and reconnect to a life of healing, vitality, and purpose.
Emily Richey, Intern Therapist, DU
Exploring our emotional lives can feel unfamiliar and intimidating at times - but that doesn't mean it isn't important. Working together, we can create an intentional and personalized space focused on your own reasons for seeking support. Collaboratively, we will chart a course that leverages your strengths, values, and beliefs to develop skills, process past experiences, and build hope for a future that you can look forward to.
In working together, you'll find me to be compassionate, curious, honest, and warm. I work with adolescents, individual adults, and couples and, as an intern, I provide reduced cost services to ensure that healing is within reach for all. I am excited to accompany you on this exploration and pursuit of wholeness.

Jared Butterman, Intern Therapist, DU
As a graduate student in the Clinical Counseling program at the University of Denver, I am passionate about helping individuals create the lives they desire. My love for the outdoors—whether hiking in summer or skiing in winter—reflects my belief in nature's healing power and holistic well-being.
In my practice, I provide tailored psychotherapy that respects each client's unique journey. Using a blend of humanistic and cognitive behavioral approaches, I strive to create a safe, supportive space where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings. I practice unconditional positive regard to foster an environment where growth and change are possible. Committed to accessibility, I offer reduced-cost services to ensure quality mental health support for all. Let's connect and start this transformative journey together!

Devon Edwards, MA, LPCC
Integrated holistic healing is not unidimensional, nor could it be. The concept of integrated healing is one which encompasses the whole. That being the mind, body and spirit of an individual. As an integrated health coach and mental health counselor, this is not simply my job, but my calling and deepest passion. Helping guide individuals who seek a deeper understanding of their inherent sense of wholeness, freedom and liveliness. As a former collegiate athlete, personal trainer, and integrated health coach, responsibility and overcoming adversity are in my blood. These experiences matched with the teachings found at Naropa University allow me to bring forth an alternative approach to mental health counseling.
