I was born and raised in New Jersey, just a short jump from New York City. I moved to Colorado to pursue my undergraduate degree in Psychology at Colorado State University. I fell in love with Colorado and chose to stay and earn my Master of Art’s in Contemplative Psychotherapy from Naropa University. I began working in the counseling field at the age of 20 and over time accrued experience working in an array of different treatment settings including inpatient facilities, residential homes, home-based services, and outpatient care. I continue to be a student of psychotherapy and counseling, and believe in the power of connection and exploration in therapy. In my off time, I train Muay Thai kickboxing, play drums and ukulele, and get in water as often as I can. I enjoy travel and try to see a different country every year, but keep finding myself in Peru! I look forward to our work together.

Craig Salerno MA, LAC, LPC

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Addiction Counselor (LAC) focused on supporting the mental health and transformation of my clients.

I work to address core wounds and instilled beliefs that hold us back from being our most authentic selves. We are often stuck in patterns of thoughts and behaviors that create pain and suffering. By deepening into the therapeutic process, we will work to liberate from experiences of fear and avoidance, and move towards personal and relational health.

Healing is always possible and therapy does help. While the process may seem challenging, it's also filled with insight, humor, and genuine connection along the way.

My specialties include addressing addiction issues, depression, anxiety, trauma, and spiritual or existential concerns. I draw from evidence-based practices such as Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and also work from a Contemplative Psychotherapy frame utilizing mindfulness and meditation. I am trained in Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy and MDMA-Assisted Psychotherapy am passionate about psychedelic integration.
