ABOUT US

Nestled in the mountain community of Bailey, Colorado, VidaMinds Mental Health is a sanctuary for healing. We welcome anyone navigating trauma, anxiety, or life transitions. That includes first responders, who carry the weight of service to others, and women on the path to motherhood, through pregnancy and parenting.

Our approach blends evidence-based therapies, including EMDR, CBT, DBT, and psilocybin facilitation, with the restorative power of nature and animal-assisted therapy. We offer a safe, supportive space where healing unfolds at your own pace, and we meet you where you are with warmth, collaboration, and compassion.

Our mission is to help you build resilience, rediscover your inner strength, and reconnect with yourself. We believe healing is deeply powerful when it is rooted in empathy, connection, and the natural world.

I believe that healing is about making deep changes in the way we live and relate to world around us. With that I would love to connect and see if I would be the right fit for you.
