In the process of learning to love yourself, your body, and others there is no such thing as setbacks. What we think as a setback is growing point, a learning point to lead us further in our relationship with ourselves and others. I have a Master’s in Mental Health Counseling, with a clinical focus in body image, couple and family relationships, anxiety, depression, and sexuality. I would love to be a witness to your story and build up the strengths that are already within you. I love working with young adults helping to uplift them in a times of difficulty. I have experience working in a variety of different areas including life transitions, depression, anxiety, suicide ideation, religious trauma and overall life stress. It would be an honor to navigate life’s struggles and joys in a therapeutic context with you. My intention is to hold your story as you strive for growth and healing.

Welcome! I know from my own experiences as well as the many clients I have worked with over the years that therapy is an important pathway towards growth and healing. We will create a space where you can be open, expressive, learn new ways of seeing yourself and the world, new ways to cope with the challenges of life, and create new paths to relationship. We work together to bring wholeness, connection and a rediscovery of your strength and purpose. I am sensitive to the parts of our selves that make us unique, which includes different expressions of gender, sexuality, culture, socio-economic status, ethnicity, race, political ideology, religion, LGTBQIA2S+ identity, and intersectionality. I use mindfulness, my own therapy and consultation to help me address bias that might come up in my work. I partner with clients with an orientation towards social justice, honoring difference and our own deep knowledge of ourselves and our needs.

I believe in a therapeutic process that is collaborative and flexible — meeting my clients where they are to foster meaningful growth and change. I approach therapy with warmth, compassion, and honest reflection to create a non-judgmental space for self-exploration. I am passionate about working with individuals who are experiencing emotional struggles, low self-esteem, transitional issues, and attachment injuries. My aim is to collaboratively help you understand patterns in which you feel stuck, find relief from narratives that are no longer yours, and learn how to move towards your goals. I am a graduate of Columbia’s School of Social Work and have training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Emotion Focused Family Therapy (EFFT). I am intensively trained in working with body image issues and disordered eating. My style is warm, genuine, and non-judgmental while providing transparent feedback throughout the therapeutic process to maximize emotional growth and healing. I work as a supportive and collaborative partner with each of my clients to find and achieve long-term solutions.

Gertie Breffle MA, LPC Sessions with me take on a mentor, down to earth, gritty feel. I believe in the therapeutic relationship being a human to human relationship and within that context I facilitate the healing process within clients as a collaborative effort. My orientation is using the body’s and nervous system’s natural capacities for healing along with human relationship to engage in the healing process. Using techniques and practices from the latest trauma research as well as attachment frame working, I help clients learn to use body/mind practices as well as attachment work to heal and strengthen relationships with self and others, and to heal the nervous system in addressing concerns with trauma, anxiety, depression, addictions, and relationships. I use a combination of techniques and practices from the latest trauma researchers, as well as EMDR, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Multi-systemic Family Therapy, and mindfulness practices. I facilitate strengthening and healing relationships with self and others within the contexts of individual therapy, couples therapy, and family therapy.
I am a board-certified psychiatrist and Diplomate of the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. For me, being a physician is more than a profession—it is a vocation to help indviduals flourish. My practice is devoted to students and young adults seeking thoughtful, individualized psychiatric care that extends beyond symptom relief. I provide comprehensive evaluations that consider medical, nutritional, lifestyle, and psychological factors—including laboratory testing when clinically appropriate—to identify the contributors to emotional and cognitive health. I also specialize in evidence-based de-prescribing for patients who wish to reduce or discontinue psychiatric medications for anxiety, attention difficulties, or substance use disorders. My approach is guided by precision, humility, and restraint: using the least intensive intervention necessary while drawing upon the full breadth of evidence-based medicine. Depending on each patient's needs and goals, I integrate psychotherapy, nutrition, lifestyle medicine, exercise, targeted supplementation, and, when appropriate, carefully selected medications into a personalized treatment plan. In addition to my clinical work, I have presented internationally on psychiatric deprescribing and medical ethics. My work has been recognized with awards from the American Psychiatric Association, the International Association for Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Allied Professions, the American Psychoanalytic Association, and other leading professional organizations. I am the Founder & Medical Director of Verigrate Health. I am licensed to serve patients in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Lousiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Washington, Washington, D.C., and Wisconsin.
I specialize in helping people through difficult times, whether due to a loss or a transition. It is in these times that we feel most afraid, lost, and unsure of the way forward. It is all too common that we cope with adversity by being hard on ourselves, withdrawing in shame, or disconnecting from what nourishes us. I will help you find the tools and skills within yourself to move forward and create a new life. 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, or numbness, and toward more flexibility, joy, love, and gratitude. I use various techniques and modalities to achieve this with you, but the primary tool I use is Self- Compassion. Finding the support you need right now is important to your healing journey. I offer a non-judgmental, compassionate perspective that focuses on reframing your experience, and providing relief from suffering in the moment. The pain and fear of depression and anxiety can often cause feelings of isolation and despair, but you don't have to go through it alone.

Are you a neurodivergent person who… Feels like you are constantly masking in order to fit in and feel burnt out from doing so? Struggles with communicating your needs which results in frequent misunderstandings and frustration with other people? Finds yourself in a persistent state of sensory overload which makes everyday tasks feel overwhelming and insurmountable? Feels isolated and alone in your experiences? My passion is helping neurodivergent people be their authentic selves and live a life that is fulfilling and meaningful to them. As a New Yorker living in Colorado, I am warm and outgoing with a no BS attitude. I am a licensed clinical social worker who has over 11 years of experience working with neurodivergent people including autistic humans and ADHDers. I also love working with fellow therapists and others in the helping profession like professors, healthcare professionals, teachers, and the like. My approach is curious, compassionate, humorous, and direct. I strive to ensure that you feel heard, understood and supported. I also believe that you deserve guidance that is free of fluff and that you received concrete next steps for your future endeavors.
Do you feel like your own thoughts and emotions are getting in your way? Do you struggle with social relationships? Are you having a difficult time finding yourself? life’s problems are often complex and can leave you feeling lost or trapped. I aim to help you forge your own path forward by providing a space which supports exploration and nurtures creativity. I believe that you not only have the potential to face life's challenges, but also the ability to grow and evolve in the process.
"I am falling apart on the inside. "This world wasn't built for me." "I am always overwhelmed all the time." "My best never feels good enough." If these thoughts have crossed your mind, I promise you aren’t alone. I hear you, and I want to help. I believe therapy doesn’t happen in a vacuum — our lives are shaped by systems, cultures, and histories that can both support and harm us. In our work together, we’ll look not only at your personal experiences but also at the broader context you live in. My goal is to honor your identity, acknowledge the impact of oppression and marginalization, and create a space where all parts of you feel seen and valued. I draw from person-centered, narrative, existential, and ACT, IFS-informed parts work, and emotionally focused therapy (EFT) approaches, always centering you as the expert in your own life. Together, we’ll explore your story, build on your strengths, and work toward the changes that feel most meaningful to you.
