Hope Beyond Horizons Counseling

My name is Brianna, and I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor dedicated to helping women navigate change and uncertainty with resilience, hope, and greater mind-body awareness. Life often asks us to move through seasons of transition—sometimes willingly, sometimes unexpectedly. Along the way, our sense of purpose, identity, and confidence can become clouded by self-doubt or unresolved patterns. My mission is simple: To help you cultivate peace with the past, presence in the now, and hope for the future. I believe that the way we relate to ourselves—our thoughts, emotions, and physical experiences—shapes how we move through the world. Navigating life with self-compassion, awareness, and resilience allows new possibilities to emerge. In our work together, you’ll find a space of warmth and encouragement where all parts of you are welcome. We will gently explore the patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and you will learn practical tools to foster confidence, clarity, and deeper alignment with your values. Emotions are not enemies; they are messengers. Together, we will learn to listen to them—not fear them—while developing the mindset and actions needed to support the life you want to live. I draw from a blend of Person-Centered Therapy, Strengths-Based approaches, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Mindfulness-based practices to support your unique journey. We will also weave in mind-body awareness, exploring how physical experiences can inform emotional healing and growth. What you can expect: 🕊️ A grounded, supportive virtual space for reflection and growth 🕊️ Guidance in identifying self-limiting beliefs and cultivating new perspectives 🕊️ Practical tools to foster emotional resilience and nervous system regulation 🕊️ Compassionate support as you explore both the messy and hopeful parts of your path 🕊️ Encouragement to embrace your own pace of change and healing My experience: I bring 17 years of experience in the mental health field, and I consider it a privilege to walk beside women navigating life’s complexities with courage and curiosity. Getting started: If you’re ready to take a step toward greater peace, hope, and authentic living, I invite you to schedule a free 20-minute phone consultation by clicking "REQUEST APPOINTMENT" or "CONTACT." This first conversation helps us ensure a good fit for your journey. Sessions are offered exclusively through secure online tele-mental health counseling for residents of Colorado or Oklahoma. I know that beginning therapy—and beginning again—takes courage. Whether this is your first time reaching out or you’re returning to therapy with new intentions, I’m here to support you every step of the way. Let’s gently illuminate the path ahead—one grounded in resilience, self-compassion, and hope. FAQs Q: ARE YOU LICENSED AND HOW MUCH EXPERIENCE DO YOU HAVE? A: Yes, I am a licensed professional in Colorado and Oklahoma. I graduated with a master’s degree in Community Counseling in 2008 and have been a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) since 2011. My experience includes working with various populations, and I currently specialize in online therapy, primarily supporting adult women with adjustment issues related to life transitions, anxiety, depression, grief, low self-esteem, and stress reactions. Q: HOW WILL I PAY FOR SERVICES? A: For insurance related claims your payment goes through the respective agency filing the claim (eg. Alma, SonderMind, or Westside Behavioral Care). For self-pay, a card on file is maintained and charged at the end of each session through the secure STRIPE credit processing system. Q: HOW CAN I USE MY INSURANCE BENEFITS? A: Depending on your insurance provider you would be routed to one of several platforms with whom I contract with to credential with various insurances.

A: Possibly, it depends on your specific insurance plan and services provided. Check with your insurance carrier for details on out-of-network benefits. Q: WHAT ARE THE RISKS AND BENEFITS OF USING INSURANCE FOR THERAPY? A: In-network providers have limitations on privacy and treatment flexibility. Out-of-network services offer more privacy control and tailored treatment. Billing insurance requires a mental health diagnosis, potentially impacting future considerations. Q: WILL I QUALIFY FOR SLIDING SCALE IF I DON'T HAVE INSURANCE AND CAN'T AFFORD THE FULL FEE? A: Possibly. I use Open Path Psychotherapy Collective for reduced fee services. Check their website for availability and registration information. Q: HOW LONG WILL I NEED TO PARTICIPATE IN THERAPY? A: Depends on goals and needs. Therapy duration varies based on individual progress and preferences, ranging from brief engagements to longer-term support. Q: WHAT CAN I EXPECT FROM YOU? A: Full attention and support, personalized sessions, respect, encouragement, belief in your capabilities, guidance without judgment, and collaboration in your therapeutic journey. Q: WHAT DO YOU EXPECT FROM ME? A: Mutual respect and trust. Regular participation, ongoing communication, and notifying in advance if you plan to exit therapy. Progress assessment will guide the decision to end services. Q: WHAT DO I NEED FOR VIRTUAL TELE-MENTAL HEALTH SESSIONS? A: A personal computer or laptop is recommended; a secure internet connection and the "Telehealth by SimplePractice" app if using a mobile device.
