Neville Harson
Hello, and thanks for wanting to learn more about me. My name is Neville Harson, and I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Colorado. I've been a practicing therapist for over 15 years, and have practiced therapy in a variety of settings. I've worked with teens, adults and seniors; people who were ready to make a change in their lives, people who were going through difficult transitions. My goal is to co-create a working relationship with you where personal transformation is possible. I don't have a "one-size-fits-all" approach to therapy. I meet clients where they are, and recognize that at different times, and for different people, different approaches are needed. The approach I use most often is Cognitive-Behavioral. What that means is that I'll be asking you not only how you think and feel about an event or person, but what you tell yourself about it. I find it most helpful to assess a client's strengths, rather than to diagnose their problems. I can also take a solution-focused approach. This is an approach where we focus on one problem, and without going too deep, we come up with a solution or resolution to that problem. At times, I wear a more traditional therapist hat, asking questions and encouraging you to explore your thoughts, feelings and actions. I may also act as a coach, giving you encouragement and providing emotional support as you do what it takes to make changes in your life. I can be direct, calling you on your old patterns when I see them. I can also listen and witness when you are in the vulnerable place of speaking from your heart. Your goals are important to me! In my non-therapist life, I am a musician and photographer, and have a wide appreciation for the arts. If you are someone who considers yourself to be creative in any way, I'd love to work with you. Creative people often "get" other creative people--the way we move through the world in a slightly different way, and the creative challenges we set up for ourselves.

Stephen Drozda
Hello, I am Dr. Steve Drozda a Licensed Psychologist in the state of Colorado. I have over 40 years of experience in the mental health field as a psychotherapist, psychological evaluator, administrator, and as a teacher in graduate counseling program. I have worked in a variety of settings including outpatient clinics, hospitals, residential treatment centers, nursing facilities, and in my own office-based practice. I earned my graduate degrees in psychology (M.A. and Ph.D.) at the University of Missouri-Columbia. For the past 33 years I have lived and practiced in the Denver, Colorado area. I provide counseling and therapy services primarily from a cognitive-behavioral and solution-focused orientation. I have also had training in dialectal behavior therapy and incorporate techniques from that approach when appropriate. I work with a variety of age groups, including seniors. Among my areas of primary interest are working with clients whose issues include depression, anxiety, relationship issues, family or parenting problems, coping with trauma, and adjustment to life changes such as those due to loss, health changes, or aging . In my counseling work, I prefer to take an active, problem-solving approach to assist clients to take practical steps toward their goals and equip them to be better prepared for challenges they may face in the future. I maintain my own schedule and generally have appointment availability in addition to the times visible on the BetterHelp site. I conduct most client sessions by video or phone. It is my practice to be available to respond to messages from clients between sessions, usually within a day. I am married and the father of two children who are educators in the performing arts. My interests include travel, a variety of activities in the outdoors, music, theater, and learning new things. For many clients, taking the first step to confront a problem is often the most difficult part of finding a solution. If you are ready to take that step, I am eager to work with you to set and achieve your goals.

Dr. Ryan Hale
I am licensed in Colorado and Kansas with 12 years of professional work experience. I have experience working on college campuses, with police, fire and EMS, in private practice and with professional and semi-professional athletes…in fact, my specialty training is in sport psychology. I have a love and curiosity for people and enjoy navigating through solutions with my clients. I try to find the right balance between being directive and reflective and have worked for over a decade to discern which one is needed in every session to give the client what they need at any given moment in session. In my first career, I was a trainer and worked in college sports. If you are interested in healthy behavior change, coming back from an injury or wanting to get in shape or change your fitness...we can work on that too!

Trinity Burns
I am licensed in Colorado and Louisiana with 4 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with LGBTQIA2 related issues, family conflicts, ADHD issues, & career difficulties. Let me explain a little more about these areas of focus. I have training within systems and family conflicts due to my license of being an LMFT, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I am skilled in recognizing patterns; most of my clients and families have told me this during our work together. I have experience working with people of the LGBTQIA2 community and helping individuals and families navigate their sexuality or gender identity. Another area in which I am passionate about is helping individuals who have been clinically diagnosed with ADHD move through a world in a more ADHD friendly manner. Let's work with your brain rather than against it. Lastly, in regards to career matters the way in which I often find myself helping clients is related to matters such as boundary setting and work life balance. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. As we spend more time together on your mental health journey you will notice that I value laughter and often this is found in my sessions. Have you heard of the statement you can give someone a fish and feed them for a day or you can teach them to fish and feed them for a lifetime? That viewpoint is a visual example of how in therapy the work is helping you, the person reading my bio, learn how to interact in a healthier and more sustainable way rather than providing you direct answers. With that being said, it takes courage and immense amount of bravery to seek out a more fulfilling and authentic life by taking the first steps towards a change. I am here to support, challenge, and empower you in that journey.
