I also utilize internal family systems and feminist theory in my approach, meaning I want to honor both the environmental context of your story and its many parts. I have worked with children as young as 8, adolescents, adults, couples, and families seeking support in the areas of anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, eating disorders and body image, relational conflict and distress, life transitions, grief, and place-of-worship hurt.

Biography

My name is Dr. Lindsay Lewandowski (she/her). I have spent much of my life in the calm and lake-filled Midwest, and am excited to be living in the beautiful state of Colorado. Throughout my career I have geared my focus toward helping children, adolescents, and families. I completed both my M.A. and Ph.D. in School Psychology at Ball State University. I have worked in schools, outpatient clinics, and a residential treatment program. I also completed an APA Accredited internship with a focus on counseling and clinical psychology at a community mental health center.

In regard to my clinical work, I have comprehensive training in the evaluation of social-emotional needs, trauma, behavior, and neurodevelopmental disorders such as Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, and Specific Learning Disorders. Although much of my work focuses on psychological evaluations, I also provide therapy to youth and their families, as well as parent consultation. I recognize that mental health and behavioral concerns can weigh heavily on parents, and I believe that a thorough evaluation comprised of empathy, inquisitiveness, social justice, and a systems orientation is the first step to finding support. Psychological evaluations can help us understand concerns such as oppositional behavior, anger, depression, anxiety, developmental delays, giftedness, learning difficulties, inattention, and environmental stress. Every child is unique, and I enjoy helping answer parents’ questions and guiding them toward the right services.

In addition to my clinical work with youth, I also provide juvenile forensic psychology services. I completed a formal Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Forensic Psychology, with a focus on the juvenile justice system. I provide evaluations and consultation for children's services, competency, transfer to adult court, mitigation, and risk.

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.

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.

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.

Biography

My name is Michele Flynn (she/her). I am a California native who came to Colorado for grad school, and fell in love with this state so much I have decided to stay a while. While there may not be any {real} beaches close by, I sure do love the rockies and 14er challenges. Starting in October – you will likely find me watching some hockey here or there- I was born and raised to bleed teal {Go Sharks!} and love most sports – even if I don’t fully understand all of them. And I’m always down for some time in the mountains or a good ole’ fashioned game night.

I know it can be hard watching your child struggle, especially when you don’t know how to help. It can make your world feel like it’s falling apart. Like you’re wading in the water trying to keep your head afloat. That’s why I’m here. I’m here to make the difficult days a little less difficult. To help understand and gain some insight into what’s going on. To walk alongside you and your child toward healing through counseling, therapeutic play techniques, and neurofeedback to help find their voice, identify and process BIG emotions, and move forward by growing and learning together through relationships. We cannot change our past choices AND we have the ability to change how we learn and react next time. Life is all about constant learning- from our past, present, and future selves. Each piece is important. Will it be perfect? No way. Can we learn from it? Absolutely. That is what life is all about- moving forward and learning together in relation to one another. I utilize research and brain-based interventions while working with kiddos, teens, and their families emphasizing their strengths and relationships to overcome difficult seasons, barriers, life circumstances, BIG emotions, and diagnoses (anxiety, depression, ADHD, “difficult behaviors”, as well as other mental health diagnoses), and learn new skills to regain “control” of life and all the struggles that come with it. Life is tough and it takes a village – and I want to be a part of yours! Allowing people into your village is sometimes scary, so please feel free to reach out and I would love to answer any questions you may have.

Professionally: I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado (LPC.0014745), as well as a National Certified Counselor (NCC 684920), and am Board Certified in Neurofeedback (BCN E6197). I hold a Master of Arts degree from Colorado Christian University and a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology with an emphasis in Child and Family Studies from Azusa Pacific University. I have a variety of experience and/or training in Neurofeedback, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Attachment in play, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Play Therapy Techniques. All that to say – I have gone through various trainings and certifications to be able to identify and utilize the technique that will help families heal.

Meghan Reese, M.A., LPCC

Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate

Specialties: Counseling
Adults aged 18 & Over

My name is Meghan Reese (she/her). I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate in the state of Colorado (LPCC.0023470)

Therapy Specialties & Modalities

Biography

Hi, I’m Meghan (she/her)! I’m originally from a small town in South Carolina, and I now live in Colorado with my wife and our two boys. When not counseling, you’ll find me writing, working on my golf game, cooking, advocating for causes I care about, or anywhere near water with my family.

My primary focus is on trauma and grief. Clients bring the expertise of their own lives, and my role is to be a guide along the way. I focus on developing a strong, collaborative relationship so we can work toward the growth that matters most to each client.

I want clients to understand that while past experiences may shape who a person is, healing, regulation, and a fulfilling life are absolutely possible. I believe in the power of psychoeducation: clients understanding how they respond to trauma and stress is often the first step in moving toward healing. I recognize the connection between chronic pain, nervous system dysregulation, and how they are linked to trauma and stress. I value humor, intentional pacing, and balance in therapy, knowing when it is time to do deeper work and when it is just as important to make room for lightness.

My approach is integrative: grounded in humanistic principles, informed by neuroscience and the mind-body connection. I incorporate somatic and nervous system practices to help clients move from dysregulation and pain toward safety and self-trust. I honor each client’s autonomy and lived experiences while supporting their personal growth goals. As the therapeutic relationship grows, my hope is that clients feel empowered in their own healing journey.

Professionally: I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate (LPCC) in the state of Colorado (LPC.0023470). I earned my Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Adams State University and my Bachelor of Arts in Human Resource Management from Columbia Southern University.

My name is Jack Cottingham and I was born and raised in Greenville, SC. I attended Clemson University where I received my bachelor’s in psychology in 2018. I moved to Denver in 2022 and quickly gained a love for everything Colorado.

For the past five years, I have worked with children and adolescents in residential care facilities and a school for those with Autism Spectrum Disorder. From these experiences I have received training in crisis management, motivational interviewing, and applied behavior analysis.

I tailor my approach to each client individually while relying on a foundation of narrative therapy and gestalt. To me, effective counseling looks like us navigating your problems as a team and as equals. I’m particularly passionate about men’s health, tackling depression and anxiety, positive habit forming, self-acceptance, and meaning making.

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!

Biography

Hello, my name is Bess Bryan (she/her/hers). I was born and raised in Atlanta, GA and moved to the mountains of Asheville, NC over 30 years ago. I called Asheville home until August of 2024 when I moved to Denver to complete my Doctoral internship with the APA accredited Colorado School Psychology Internship Consortium (COSPIC). I decided to settle in Denver after receiving my doctorate in May of 2025 from the APA accredited Health Service Psychology program at Western Carolina University and am thrilled to join the Mountain Vista Psychology team!

I am a mom to two young adult children who I adopted from Guatemala, two kitties, and a sweet dog that I enjoy exploring the beautiful Colorado mountains with. My 20-year career in education as a classroom teacher/learning specialist and eight years as program director of a nonprofit aimed at advancing educational equity inspired me to return to school and pursue my doctorate. My goal is to help my clients understand and navigate both educational and mental health challenges and identify their unique gifts and strengths through evaluation and assessment and engaging in the therapeutic process.

My orientation is rooted in multicultural, person-centered, and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) theories. I also find significant value in understanding family systems and perspectives and approach each client/family with humility and compassion, honoring their unique identities and strengths. I believe that we all have the capacity for goal setting, growth, and insight as I have seen and experienced firsthand the strength of human character and strive to support in both understanding and healing from life's many challenges.

Professionally: I practice under a provisional license as a Psychologist Candidate in the state of Colorado (PSY.00016115).

I have a variety of training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Trauma Focussed Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and emotion regulation through the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence.

Biography

Hi, I’m Carson Willis (she/her), a doctoral student in Clinical Psychology at the University of Denver. I was born and raised in Grapevine, Texas, and earned my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Oklahoma. After college, I joined Teach for America and taught fourth-grade reading for three years. During that time, I witnessed the vital role psychological assessments played in helping students access the support they needed. Seeing the power of diagnostics, especially when they opened doors for children who had been struggling, sparked my interest in becoming an assessment-based clinician.

Since beginning my doctoral training, I’ve had the opportunity to work with clients across the lifespan, from toddlers to older adults, on a wide range of concerns including anxiety, trauma, depression, and adjustment to significant life changes. My goal in every session is to create a warm, non-judgmental space where clients feel safe to express themselves and receive support in their healing process. Whether I’m providing therapy or conducting assessments, I strive to bring empathy, curiosity, and a strengths-based perspective to our work together.

Outside of the clinical setting, I enjoy listening to podcasts and spending time with my friends and family.
