I have a Master's Degree in Clinical Counseling from University of Northern Colorado. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor as well as a Licensed Addictions Counselor. Since 2011, I have worked in community mental health providing treatment for clients who are facing issues with depression, anxiety, PTSD, substance abuse, bipolar disorder, and relationship problems. I teach people skills that can assist in managing intrusive thoughts that can lead to depression and anxiety. I enjoy helping clients find ways to improve their lives and watching their personal growth during the course of treatment. I listen to people's struggles and try to help them find ways to learn to cope with, change, or improve their situation in order to help people move forward with their lives. Because I also have a background in treating addiction, I am happy to help provide guidance and support around those facing this very difficult issue. I have run DBT groups for 6 years and it's a framework that I use in individual counseling as well. I find it incredibly helpful for people to have a set of healthy coping skills to manage their stressors. I tend to meet clients where they're at so we an work together to help them move forward and meet their goals. Outside of being a therapist, I enjoy reading, running, and hiking. These are some of the ways I practice my own self care. I enjoy being able to challenge myself to read more books and run more miles! I look forward to working with you to help you feel happier, healthier, and stronger.

Hello, thanks for taking the time to learn more about who I am and how I work. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Colorado, and I've been practicing for over 5 years. I have experience in stress and anxiety, grief and loss, and life transitions. To me, therapy is a very exciting and rewarding experience, whether providing it or receiving it. I've been on both sides, so I have a great deal of respect for where you are and the courage it takes to reach out for support. What I've found is that we all have what it takes within us to create a beautiful life. Sometimes we just need someone to listen, to identify where we might be telling ourselves a story that limits our happiness, and help us change that story to one that empowers us. When difficult things happen, such as a loss or a sudden change we didn't see coming, often we cope by shutting down or finding a way to control things. Identifying that you may be coping in ways that don't serve you is the first step. Knowing you want to change is the next step. Asking for help is where you are now. I will work with you to accept where you are now, find the strengths and skills you already have, and use them to climb out of your current state of unhappiness, guilt, shame, or numbness, and toward more flexibility, joy, love, and gratitude. I use various techniques and modalities to achieve this with you, and constantly remain responsive and centered on your needs and preferences for therapy. Some of the techniques I use are based on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, along with Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy. I strongly believe in the importance of developing a foundation of self-compassion, and this is at the heart of my practice. I have used these techniques in my personal development and they are life-changing. I would be honored to work with you and be part of your transformation.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Addiction Counselor in the state of Colorado and have worked with diverse populations for over 15 years. No matter the issue whether it is substance abuse, trauma, relationships, family of origin, parenting, depression, anxiety, or fear; developing clarity around reasons we behave and react as we do is vital in self-examination. When we develop awareness around problem behaviors and responses to circumstances, we begin the evaluative process of returning to right-mindedness (seeing vs. defending against). Correcting thoughts and observing our perceptions and projections allows us to do the work necessary to modify what isn't working. My approach to working with clients is relational and client focused. This means I meet you where you are while listening and guiding sessions so you feel heard and understood. My primary objective is to support you with practical solution-focused strategies as you progress toward your treatment goals. Transformation only happens when we are willing! Asking for help demonstrates your willingness to look inside and use your strengths and resources to take responsibility for your life. Willingness allows you to consider a different way to self-examine so you create the life that you desire! One free from isolation, shame, guilt, and blame. A return to loving yourself! I look forward to hearing from you!

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor LPC) in both Alaska and Colorado, and I hold a current Master Addiction Counselor national certification (MAC.) I have many years of mental health, emotional health, and addictive behavior counseling experience. I work with clients who struggle with a wide range of concerns that include depression, anxiety, psychosis, substance abuse/addictive behaviors, lifespan developmental issues, and PTSD stemming from various traumatic life experiences. My counseling style is gentle, non-confrontive, honest and non-directive, while assisting clients to develop a path to initiate positive change in their lives. The goal is to assist clients to reach their highest desired personal and professional potential. I ensure each client has a comprehensive honest and thorough assessment, followed by a relevant and realistic goal-centered treatment plan jointly developed by both client and me. The treatment plan is treated as a fluid document that can be reassessed and goals changed if needed to bring about the desired outcome. A thorough and openly honest assessment expedites the treatment process so progress towards working through personal issues/struggles can be seen as attainable and achievable. My personal and professional goal has always been to never chastise or talk down to anyone. Please know that I will challenge irrational thoughts and inconsistencies (in a non-confrontational, noncondemning manner) if they appear to be blocking progress towards the client’s desired treatment outcome. My therapeutic model incorporates various therapy techniques and skill-building approaches. These approaches include motivational interviewing, active listening, cognitive-behavioral, client centered, and rational-emotive therapy. All is assimilated into the treatment plan to help facilitate self-awareness, motivation to change, and self-empowerment to make the identified changes. I believe life is all about moving forward and reaching our personal and professional potential. Everyone finds themselves “stuck,” at various times along life’s journey, and not able to figure out how to get back up and start moving forward again. That is what the goal of therapy is. If this approach towards therapy appears to be a good match for you, please let me know. Sincerely, Joe M. Bray MA, MS, LPC, MAC

I am a licensed clinical social worker with over thirty years of experience in the social work field. I have worked with families, children, parents, and individuals. I have an extensive background in child welfare services and in special education, working with children with special needs and their families. I have worked in hospitals and with adults in mental health rehabilitation. I am currently employed with the Department of Veterans' Affairs. Many of the veterans served in my program suffer from PTSD, depression, anxiety or addictions. I have come to believe over many years of practice that it is critical to help clients express and clarify their goals and to identify the barriers to reaching those goals. Of equal importance is helping clients identify and build upon their strengths. Often this means learning about available resources to assist them. In summary, my approach as a clinical social worker is to help clients understand and meet their personal life goals, using all the resources available to them.
