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.

Biography

My name is Danielle Rabinovich (she/her), 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 the 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.

I have worked in full and partial-hospital settings, residential treatment centers, and traditional settings within the field of psychology.

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).

Biography

My name is Dr. Mitch Ring (he/him). I received a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of Washington in Seattle, and my Master’s and Doctorate degrees in School Psychology from the University of Colorado Denver. Though my educational background had an emphasis on school-based practice, I found myself drawn to clinical work and the enriching relationships I am able to build with clients in that setting. Helping clients to build tools and strategies that are applicable and useful in day-to-day life is one of the most important parts of my job.

I love to do psychological assessments—there’s nothing quite like a solid answer, and gathering the data that goes into answering clients’ questions about their lives and mental health is an incredibly rewarding process.

I’m originally from Seattle, but Denver has become my second home. I love the outdoors, as well as the local art and music scene. I am excited to be a part of the team at Mountain Vista! I always look forward to meeting new clients and learning about their history as I help to provide them with tools and recommendations they can apply to their life. As a practitioner, I hope to help my clients reach a point of stability in their lives when it comes to their mental health.

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).
