Biography

My name is Dr. Steffanie Stecker (she/her). I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist and the owner and clinical director of Mountain Vista Psychology, PLLC. I am the oldest of three children who all live in Colorado. I have been married to my husband for 19 years and have I have a 26-year-old step daughter, a 16-year-old son, and a 14-year-old daughter whom I love very much. I am a mother, wife, daughter, and sister and know about relationships not only professionally, but also personally.

The life of someone I love was touched by ADHD, anxiety, and sensory difficulties and in my search for help, I discovered neurofeedback. After witnessing the changes that took place, I became board certified in neurofeedback and it is integrated into my practice. In addition, I am one of under 100 people worldwide who is QEEG board certified. This is the certification that signifies qualification to process brain maps, the road map for neurofeedback. I offer testing, counseling, and neurofeedback to serve those who struggle with a variety of difficulties and find that most of the people who choose to work with me have Anxiety, ADHD, or are on the Autism Spectrum. I have a passion for helping create change in people’s lives and feel lucky to spend my days the way that I do!

Professionally, I am a licensed psychologist in Colorado (#3546) with a Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology from the University of Denver and a Ph.D. in School Psychology from the University of Northern Colorado. In addition, I am a board-certified neurotherapist (BCN E5669) and board certified in QEEG (QEEG-D). Less than 100 people world wide are board certified in QEEG, which indicates competency in reading QEEGs and choosing neurofeedback protocols. As a result of this training I read all QEEGS and guide protocol development for all clients at MVP who participate in neurofeedback training. In addition, I mentor clinicians new to neurofeedback who are not a part of MVP. I have also completed both Level One and Level Two Training for EMDR. I am a lifelong learner who attends ongoing training to be sure I am highly competent to best serve you.

Biography

Hello, my name is Marnesia Bryant (she/her). I was born and raised in Louisiana and relocated to Colorado in 2015 after joining the United States Army. I served in the Army for almost five years, and that time was very enlightening and empowering. As a soldier, I had the privilege of being on a panel dedicated to discussing societal issues such as rape, sexism, abuse of power, and suicide. Participating in that work, as well as experiencing other matters surrounding mental health, substance abuse, and social justice in the work environment, eventually led me to become a student of social work.

In my life, I have witnessed the negative effects of individuals not receiving the mental health services they require and the resulting detrimental effects on their families and society. More than ever, the importance of mental health is becoming a major topic of discussion in almost every setting, as it should be. I want to be a part of helping individuals heal and find their personal power, as well as support them in achieving their personal goals through psychoeducation. My goal during my time at MVP is to become an essential part of the team helping each client to attain their individual goals.

Outside of work, my interests lie in reading, writing, dancing, meditating, and exercising. I believe in self-care, and you will find me participating in one or more of these activities daily. I am always willing to share a good book, go for a relaxing hike, or dance to the music playing in the background.

Professionally: I earned my bachelor’s degree in General Studies with a minor in Humanities from Nicholls State University. I received my master’s degree in Social Work from the University of Denver (Clinical Social Work Candidate SWC.0000000744).

Biography

Hello! My name is Alex Peters (she/her).
I earned my bachelor’s degree in Psychology with a concentration in Clinical/Counseling Psychology from Colorado State University. I am currently pursuing my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at the University of Denver.

Originally from Illinois, I relocated to Colorado to continue my education and explore everything the Mountain West has to offer. In my free time, I enjoy discovering new places in Denver, taking yoga classes, baking, sipping coffee, and spending time outdoors.

My approach to therapy is collaborative, client-centered, and grounded in respect for each person’s unique experience. I believe that open communication, empowerment, and flexibility can transform therapy into a meaningful and life-changing space. I integrate elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and strengths-based practices to support my clients. I value a holistic and individualized approach that meets people where they are and honors their needs.

I am especially passionate about supporting young adult women navigating anxiety, life transitions, and identity development.

Biography

Hi, I’m Luke. I work with teens and young adults who might be feeling overwhelmed, out of sync, or unsure about what comes next. Therapy is a place to slow down and make sense of what’s been feeling hard. I believe that even in moments of struggle, people have the strength and creativity to reconnect with what matters and imagine new ways forward.

My goal is to create a space where you feel heard without the pressure to have it all figured out. Whether you're navigating relationship stress, school demands, or just the day-to-day weight that life can bring, therapy can help you feel more grounded and supported. Over time, we can explore patterns, build insight, and find new ways of responding that feel more like you.

Outside the therapy room, I’m usually out with my dog, digging through music playlists, or going to the movies.

I’m a first-year doctoral student in Counseling Psychology at the University of Denver, where I do research on the therapy process and relationships. I previously studied psychology and counseling at Indiana University.

I’m glad to be part of the Mountain Vista team and would be honored to support you or someone you care about.

Hi! My name is Taylor Kaufman (she/her), and I’m a doctoral student in the Clinical Psychology program at the University of Denver. I’m originally from the suburbs of Chicago and earned my Bachelor of Science in Psychology from The Ohio State University (go Bucks!). Outside of my academic and clinical work, I enjoy playing and watching soccer, roller skating around Wash Park, discovering new music, and reading.

I’ve had the privilege of working with clients of all ages facing challenges like depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship struggles, and big life changes. I want to look beyond just symptoms and really get to know each person’s unique story, perspective, and how they experience the world. My goal is to create a space where people feel seen, supported, and empowered to take on whatever life throws their way.

I am especially passionate about working with children and teens. Their resilience and insight never cease to amaze me, and I feel so grateful to walk alongside them during such an important time in their lives. I aim to provide a safe, welcoming space where they feel comfortable to explore their identity, express themselves freely, and know they’re not alone.
