General Information

Hello, my name is Craig. I have been in the field of mental health and addiction counseling since 2004. I have a background in adolescent residential treatment, as well as adult individual, group and family therapy. I am the former Program Director/Clinical Supervisor of a community mental health center in NW Colorado.

 

My primary clinical focus is to provide individual (age 18 or above currently) mental health and substance specific counseling. My modalities include a strength-based and person-centered approach that utilizes MI (Motivational Interviewing) and CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), Psychodynamic and Systems approaches to helping clients reach their goals. These approaches are further explained in the "About/What to Expect" tab above.

 

My job is ultimately to work myself out of a job and create the most efficient and effective path to collaboratively reach a client’s treatment goals. I strongly believe in supporting client choice and autonomy throughout the treatment process. I believe clients are the experts on themselves, while my expertise is on the process to mental health and addiction wellness.

​

I offer a free 15-20 minute consultation to clarify if my services might be helpful . I accept some insurances (Anthem, Cigna and United/UMR), as well as EAP’s with UC Health and Ski Corp employees. There is more information about my billing and clinical practices under the "Insurance/Treatment Costs" tab above.​

​

Please note, my caseload capacity and availability fluctuates throughout the year.
