Melissa Yost, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Fort Collins CO
I work with individuals in-person at my Fort Collins, CO office as well as online. Working with me you will experience a safe and supportive space, with therapy customized for each individual client based on your unique set of needs. We usually take a couple of sessions to get to know one another and lay out a tentative road map for how the work may go. I'll offer my suggestions for what may treatment approach might benefit you, as well as hear your input and goals for what you'd like to get out of therapy. If you are planning to utilize psychedelics legally and would like assistance with integration, we will work together to time your therapy sessions appropriately and coordinate care with your medical provider as appropriate.
I'm a nature lover, yoga instructor, and mom to three young adults (plus several pets). I've been in private practice since 2013 helping individuals find hope and balance in their lives. My passion is to come alongside people who are ready to explore their inner worlds in order to make lasting change. Psychedelic therapy can appear in many forms, but at its core, for me, is a willingness to suspend judgement about the world as one understands it, in order to experience the world as it is. I'd love to help you find a new perspective utilizing mind-body tools such as meditation, yoga, and breath work, which is ultimately the beginning of any journey one might wish to take.
Private yoga instruction including Trauma sensitive yoga can be added to your treatment, as well as lessons and practice in mindfulness.
