My name is Dr. Steffanie Stecker and I am 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.

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!

Danielle Rabinovich, MA, LPC, BCN, RYT

Licensed Professional Counselor

My name is Danielle Rabinovich, and I was born and raised in Colorado Springs. I was a former college athlete, so in my free time I like to swim, hike, run, bike, and pretty much do anything active! On the weekends, you will probably find me on the mountains! I earned my Master’s degree at University of Denver where I discovered my love and passion for psychology and human beings. I have worked in a range of settings with children, adolescents, teenagers, and adults. I have vast experience working with eating disorders, depression, anxiety, learning disabilities, autism, trauma, and various other mental health diagnoses. I do not believe there is a “one size fits all” when it comes to mental health treatment. I find enthusiasm in taking an integrative approach to help my clients find their way while I supportively walk alongside them on their journey in life. My therapeutic approach is kind, emphatic, and client centered. My goal is to help guide my clients to find a sense of inner peace and self acceptance as they embark on various adventures in life.

Professionally: I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Colorado (License # LPC.0015577(2023). I have worked in full and partial-hospital settings, residential treatment centers, and traditional settings within the field of psychology. I have specific training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), both of which I utilize in practice. I am certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. In addition, I do a lot of work with somatics (the mind-body connection) as I believe that trauma is stored in both the mind and body. I have a wide range of experience in neurofeedback therapy, and I am Board Certified in Neurofeedback (BCN).

Marnesia Bryant, MSW, SWC

Clinical Social Work Candidate

Hello, my name is Marnesia Bryant. 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 solider, 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, exercising, and spending time with my beautiful wife, Ann. 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). My goals are to gain training and experience in neurofeedback, mental health, substance abuse, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Family Systems Theory.

Hello! My name is Kaylee Sturgis. I was born in Spokane, Washington. I moved to Colorado in order to pursue my Master’s in Social Work (MSW) degree from Metropolitan State University. I elected to get my degree in social work, as I believe there are individual, family/community, and societal influences on our mental health. II have had the privilege of making my passion for supporting others into a career so that they can support themselves. I have extensive experience working with children and young adults within community, school, and residential treatment settings. I have professional experience/knowledge within the areas of social emotional learning (SEL), conflict resolution, anxiety, trauma, eating disorders, mindfulness practice, group therapy, and depression. Some of my interests within the field of social work/therapy are Neurofeedback, Buddhist/spiritual approaches, and healthy conflict resolution. More personally, some other interests of mine are playing video games, cooking, watching movies, animals, and spending quality time with friends/family.

You deserve to thrive. I can’t wait to learn more about you, and support you in taking charge of your life.

Professionally: I am a Licensed Social worker (LSW.0009924463), and I also hold my Master’s of Social Work (MSW) from Metropolitan State University. I am currently pursuing a Licensed Clinical Social Work (LCSW) status, and, therefore, an active LCSW candidate.

Madison Zaletel

Graduate Level Intern

Hello, my name is Madison Zaletel. I was born and raised in California and I relocated to Denver to pursue my doctoral degree in School Psychology at the University of Colorado Denver where I am entering my third year in the program. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of California Santa Cruz. I traveled to Colorado often growing up to visit my great grandparents and always enjoyed the afternoon summer thunder and lightning storms. Since moving to Colorado in 2020 I have fallen in love with the snow and going skiing in the winter.

I have worked with children and adolescents from different backgrounds within the school system and I have found that social-emotional learning is extremely important and valuable for children and adolescents as they navigate through challenges and triumphs. At MVP, I want to support individuals in their healing and hardships so that on their own they feel confident and empowered to take on the beautiful moments and the challenges that life throws their way. I believe there is no one way to approach and support mental health and I value working with my clients to meet their needs and what works best for them.

Outside of work, I enjoy soaking up the sun on a good hike or sitting outside in the backyard with a good book or with some good company. I am a strong advocate for self-care and helping others find their own version of what self-care looks like for them. I am excited to be a part of this team and to grow my knowledge in the field of psychoeducation and counseling!

Tali Burger

Graduate Level Intern

Hello, my name is Tali! I was born in Miami Beach, Florida, and lived there until I was eighteen. I received my bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of Vermont and my Master’s in Crisis & Trauma from Tel Aviv University. I lived in Israel for three years before moving to New York to work as a Family Therapist and Crisis Counselor. In 2020 I moved to Colorado and am currently a third-year doctoral student in the School Psychology PsyD program at the University of Colorado Denver.

When I am not studying, I am hiking and skiing through Colorado and can be found at the nearest off-leash dog park with my partner and puppy.

I am passionate about working with individuals focusing on social-emotional learning and skill development. In addition, I am interested in developing and implementing tools that best support my clients. I’m excited to join the MVP team!

Kate Cristy

Graduate Level Intern

Hello! My name is Kate Christy, and I am studying for my doctorate in School Psychology at the University of Colorado Denver. I was born in Queens, NY but grew up in Philadelphia, PA, for most of my life. After graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, I soon moved out to Denver, and have been working as a behavior technician for Denver Public Schools for the last seven years. During that time, I obtained a certification as a Board Certified Assistant Behavior Analyst and have used my knowledge in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) to break down behavioral barriers for students of all ages and abilities. Working primarily in school settings, I have experience working with individuals with social-emotional challenges, trauma, ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, and other neurodevelopmental disorders. While my behavioral training has given me an analytical eye, ABA is merely one tool in my toolbox, and I believe all psychological services should be tailored to the individual. I also have a personal interest in animal-assisted therapy and would love to integrate this into my future practice.

I currently live with my husband in Congress Park and two sweet cats. I love snowboarding, hiking, reading, painting, seeing live music, and experimenting with new recipes. I am driven to help individuals uncover their own passions and achieve their definitions of success and happiness. Mental health and behavioral concerns can prevent such goals from manifesting, and I am honored to help individuals work through such difficulties at Mountain Vista Psychology.
