Hi. My name is Melinda. I have been working in the field of Mental Health and Substance Use/Abuse since 2005. I have been trained and offer resources for CBT, DBT, Solution-Focused, Mindfulness, Trauma-informed and many other styles of therapy.

I’m Sarah Lucas, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Denver, Colorado, and a Certified Perinatal Mental Health Specialist (PMH-C). I specialize in supporting all genders experiencing prenatal and postpartum anxiety, postpartum depression, and the emotional challenges related to loss, infertility, and fertility treatments. I work with clients who may feel overwhelmed, stuck in anxious thought patterns, or disconnected from themselves during periods of major life transition—especially pregnancy, postpartum, and family-building journeys.

I am a clinical social worker/psychotherapist with 15 years of experience working in various mental healthcare settings. My post graduate training has primarily focused in the areas of trauma (developmental as well as medical) as well as perinatal mental health.

I am a dedicated mental health professional who works with adults facing challenges such as depression, anxiety, trauma—including childhood sexual abuse—and issues related to disordered eating and body dysmorphia. My passion lies in facilitating healing and personal growth for individuals who seek to understand and overcome their struggles. If you are ready to take the first steps toward transformation, I would be honored to accompany you on this journey.

I hold a Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with an emphasis in Somatic Therapy. I have worked for numerous years as a coach, therapist, and instructor for mental health centers and now private practice. I have specific training to trauma and see clients from a wide scope of backgrounds including anxiety, depression, postpartum issues, relationship issues, and life transitions and grief and loss.

A New Leaf Therapy is a group practice located in Pueblo Colorado. We see all ages specializing in helpers.

I’m glad you’re here.

On my path as a therapist and healer, one thing I’m always going to stand on is this: YOU are the expert of your life. I believe healing happens when we honor your lived experience and reconnect with your inner wisdom.

Hello! I am a licensed marriage and family therapist for Colorado. I specialize in ADHD and relationships, both with individuals and families. Please feel free to reach out for a consult to see if I'd be a good fit.

Two personal virtues I value greatly are learning and curiosity. I will bring these two attitudes to the therapy room and with you to ensure that we develop concepts and theory that fits your experiences. I am currently completing my PhD in Counselor Education with my dissertation focusing on neuroscience-informed treatment. Our internal signals are as powerful as our external reactions. Together, we can use these techniques to quantify treatment!

After receiving my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Colorado State University, I worked in the corporate world as a business consultant. While working as a consultant, I frequently observed how people’s hectic work schedules and day-to-day stressors could slowly wear them down emotionally, resulting in their happiness being compromised.

Seeing this trend in the business world, coupled with the passion I’ve always had for understanding people’s thinking and way of doing things, prompted me to pursue my Masters degree in Counseling Psychology from University of Colorado Denver. Now with my professional experience and educational background, I can more easily navigate how to handle the day-to-day stressors and help my clients manage the mental health piece of their lives.
