Laura Brum
I am a licensed professional counselor with 10 years of experience working as a counselor in a rural area. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, anger problems, career challenges, OCD and ADHD. I have also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse. My counseling style is caring, warm, and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines positive psychology, solution focused, cognitive-behavioral, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, trauma focused, client focused, and dialectical behavior therapy. My approach is based on how to help you move forward in your life, work through past issues, and figure out how to make a treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I believe that therapy does not have to be intimidating and serious all the time to be effective and help you improve the way you feel. It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!

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.
