Suicidality/Self-Harm

Alissa

(She/Her)

When it comes to addressing many mental health concerns, I believe in using a whole-
person approach to therapy. I’m passionate about working to address both the
emotional and physical symptoms of my clients from a foundation of unconditional care.
To do this, I’ve engaged in an intensive study of Compassion Focused Therapy, and
trauma-informed yoga to help my clients work with both their minds and bodies to feel
better. Using a unique blend of Compassion Focused Therapy and Feminist Theory
through a neurobiological lens, I aim to help my clients understand themselves, and the
larger systemic influences that have impacted them, in order to help them cultivate the
skills necessary to feel better holistically and achieve their unique healthcare goals.

Additionally, much of my work with clients aims to understand how the relationship we
have with ourselves can shape and influence the challenges we experience and how we
navigate them. In our therapeutic work together, we’ll work to help you build a more
compassion relationship with both yourself and others so you can conquer your
challenges in a way that truly serves you.

Briana

(She/Her)

My name is Briana Thomas and I am a Clinical Mental Health Counseling student at Adams State University. My approach to counseling is centered on fostering authentic connections with my clients. I believe in identifying individual strengths to collaboratively work towards personal goals in a supportive environment. In our journey together, I’m committed to creating a safe, judgment-free space where you can freely express yourself. I love incorporating creative elements like drawing, writing, and music as it is a fantastic way to express thoughts and emotions that may be difficult at times to speak out loud.

Heidi

(Any pronouns)

I am a Marriage and Family Therapist Associate based in Tri-Cities. My MFT training means that I bring a systemic lens and approach regardless of what modality is being used. My training is focused on couples, families, and other groups, but I enjoy working with individuals as well. My work will always look at the systems we exist and work within to gain greater understanding of our issues and opportunities. My goal is to create an accepting environment without judgment for clients to work on growth and goals relevant to what brings them to see me. This is done with a nurturing attitude, humor, and care. I am interested in including games or other nerdy activities into treatment where appropriate and desired by clients.

Keri

(She/Her)

The counseling space is meant to be where you feel seen and heard without judgment—a place for compassionate discovery and expression of your authentic self. We are more than just our thoughts, feelings, body, or soul; all these aspects are interconnected and influence each other.

If you feel disconnected from yourself, others, or your purpose, I invite you to a brave space for discovery and recovery. Here, you can reclaim your authentic qualities, express yourself confidently, and let go of thoughts, beliefs, and experiences that do not serve you. This space is for deepening your understanding of what motivates you, what you long for, and what qualities you seek in relationships.

With understanding comes the opportunity to create new perspectives and experiences. While life is filled with challenges, we can find new ways to navigate them, leading to increased peace, empowerment, and joy. If this is your journey, I would love to support you as you move toward your desired life. Through compassion and curiosity, we will explore what holds you back and what will help you achieve your goals using evidence-based interventions.

Mallory

(She/Her)

My name is Mallory Thrall and I take a collaborative approach with my clients to establish goals and a plan that they feel is achievable to them. I like to give my clients information about what they are experiencing with context that can be helpful to provide motivation or just understanding of what's going on. I then offer some skills that can be utilized when these symptoms are presented along with gathering a history of when these symptoms started. I believe that understanding is the first step towards growth and understanding why our brain works the way it does.

If you are a person that is interested in an action-oriented therapeutic approach, I think that we could do good work together.
