I’m a warm, engaged therapist who genuinely enjoys working with the complicated stuff—the patterns that don’t make sense, the coping strategies that worked until they didn’t, and the parts of yourself you might not quite know what to do with. My approach is curious, collaborative, and down-to-earth. I’m an active participant in therapy: I’ll ask questions, help you make connections, offer another perspective when it might be useful, and gently challenge you when we’ve built the trust to do that. You don’t need to have everything figured out before you walk in, and there will probably be some dry humor along the way.

I’m Michael Heckendorn, a Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado and a National Certified Counselor. I specialize in working with adolescents, young adults, and new fathers.

My goal is to provide a space where you can feel understood while gaining greater clarity and direction.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I enjoy working with adults navigating grief, life transitions, aging, and caregiver stress. I understand that seeking support can feel like a big step, and I strive to create a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and supported. My background in medical social work has given me the opportunity to work with people from diverse backgrounds facing a wide range of life experiences.

I believe every person's journey is unique, and I consider it a privilege to walk alongside my clients as they navigate life's challenges. My approach to therapy is integrative, meaning I tailor each session to your individual needs, goals, and experiences while drawing from evidence-based practices.

I was drawn to this work because I know the impact that support from others can have. At different points in my life, I have benefited from people who helped me face challenges, understand myself more clearly, and move through difficult seasons with more honesty and direction. Those experiences taught me how powerful it can be to have someone help you feel less alone while also encouraging growth, accountability, and change. That shaped my desire to offer the same kind of support to others.

Insomnia/Sleep Issues
Chronic Illness / Medical Issues
First Responders/Healthcare Workers
I specialize in two things most therapists don't: sleep and health. Specifically, I help individuals who can't sleep, who are managing a chronic illness or medical diagnosis, or who've been trying to make lasting health behavior changes and keep hitting a wall. I hold dual board certifications in Clinical Health Psychology (ABPP) and Behavioral Sleep Medicine (DBSM), the latter being one of the most specialized credentials a psychologist can earn, and one that very few providers in Colorado have. Before going into private practice, I spent over a decade as an active duty psychologist in the U.S. Air Force, working with service members, veterans, and their families through some genuinely hard things. That experience shaped how I approach care: I believe in being collaborative, practical, and honest about what the research actually supports, and I don't believe in wasting your time.

Hi, I’m Tricia, a licensed clinical social worker who works with women navigating anxiety, overwhelm, relationship challenges, life transitions, and the pressure to have it all together. Many of my clients are thoughtful, driven, and used to being the person others can count on, but internally may feel stuck, disconnected from themselves, or unsure of what they truly want. My approach is warm, collaborative, and down-to-earth, drawing from CBT, mindfulness, EMDR, strengths-based therapy, and trauma-informed care. I also pay close attention to the mind-body connection because our bodies can often reveal what words alone cannot. I will support you, challenge you, and call out the patterns that keep showing up so you can stay focused on what matters to you. My goal is to help you better understand yourself, feel more like yourself again, trust your own voice, feel more confident in your decisions, and create a life that feels more connected to what you truly want.

Frequently asked questions

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in the state. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across the entire state. If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near your address.

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
