My journey began with a deep commitment to serving others, which led me to work within the Georgia state prison system. There, I honed my skills in providing support to those navigating difficult circumstances, gaining invaluable experience in crisis intervention and rehabilitation.
Following my time working in the prison system, I had the privilege of working with the U.S. Army, where I provided counseling services to military personnel and their families. As a military spouse myself, I understand the unique challenges faced by military families and am deeply committed to offering tailored support to help them thrive.
My career path then took me to Palmer Lake Recovery, where I worked with individuals struggling with addiction. This role allowed me to develop a deep understanding of the complexities of substance abuse and recovery, and I am dedicated to helping my clients achieve lasting sobriety.
Now, at Mindfulness Counseling, I enjoy supporting a diverse range of clients. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma, addiction, or life transitions, I am here to offer a safe and supportive space for healing and growth.
Outside of my professional life, I find joy in spending time with my husband, sweet cocker spaniels, and my adult children. My family and pets bring me great happiness and balance, and I understand the importance of a strong support system in maintaining mental health.
I look forward to the opportunity to work with you and support you on your journey toward wellness. Together, we can navigate the challenges you face and uncover the strength within you to create a fulfilling and meaningful life.

I believe healing happens when insight and action come together. Many people understand why they feel stuck, but still struggle to create lasting change. My approach to counseling helps clients explore the deeper roots of their challenges while also building practical tools for real-life growth and progress.
I would describe my style as warm, genuine, and gently confrontational. That means I offer compassion and support, while also helping you notice patterns that may be keeping you stuck. Therapy with me is not about judgment—it is about honesty, healing, and creating meaningful change.
I work exclusively with adults and specialize in trauma and addictions. With over 10 years of counseling experience, I have had the privilege of helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, personality disorders, shame, relationship struggles, life transitions, and the lasting effects of difficult experiences. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe enough to be real, challenged enough to grow, and supported enough to heal.
As someone with Colorado roots and strong family values, I understand the importance of connection, resilience, and finding balance in life. I also believe laughter can be an important part of the healing process, and I strive to bring warmth and authenticity into the counseling room.
Reaching out for support can be one of the hardest steps—but it can also be the beginning of lasting transformation. If you are ready to do the work of healing and growth, I would be honored to walk alongside you.

I am currently pursuing my Master’s in Social Work at the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs, with the goal of becoming a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Addiction Counselor. I am currently working as both a social work intern and a licensed addiction counselor intern.
My path into this work is deeply personal. As someone in long-term recovery, I bring both professional training and lived experience into the counseling space. I understand firsthand the challenges of navigating mental health and substance use, and I am passionate about helping others find stability, purpose, and lasting change in their lives.
I began my work in the behavioral health field at Peak Recovery Center, where I served as a Client Care Aide and later as an Assistant Medical Department Manager, focusing on detox services. I later continued my work at Recovery Village at Palmer Lake as a Detox Therapist, group facilitator, and individual therapist intern. These experiences have played a major role in shaping my counseling style and approach to working with clients.
Throughout my work, I have supported individuals navigating a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, relationship issues, and major life transitions. I strive to create a space that feels safe, genuine, and nonjudgmental, where clients can be real about what they are going through while also working toward meaningful change.
I believe one of my greatest strengths is my ability to build genuine connection and rapport. I aim to meet clients where they are, offering empathy, honesty, and compassion. My approach is collaborative and solution-focused, while also allowing space to explore deeper patterns and challenges. Above all, I truly care about the work I do and the people I have the privilege of working with.
In addition to my clinical work, I serve as a Resource Advocate in the community, supporting justice-involved individuals and helping connect them to critical resources such as housing, treatment, and ongoing support services. I am also actively involved in the Colorado Springs recovery community.
Outside of my professional life, I enjoy spending time with my wife, our dog Cheesecake, and our grandkids, as well as taking advantage of everything Colorado has to offer.
Whether you are navigating addiction, mental health challenges, or a difficult season of life, my goal is to walk alongside you, support your growth, and help you move toward the life you want to build.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate who works with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, stress, grief, life transitions, relationship concerns, and self-esteem. I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where clients can feel comfortable being themselves, explore what's happening in their lives, and work toward meaningful change.
My counseling style is collaborative, practical, and down-to-earth. I incorporate evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, person-centered therapy, strength-based techniques, as well as mindfulness-informed interventions. I work with each client to identify their goals, build on their strengths, and develop practical skills they can use in everyday life.
I have worked in community mental health and have been involved with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention for nearly a decade through advocacy, education, and prevention efforts. Above all, I believe therapy should be a genuine and approachable experience where clients feel heard, supported, and empowered to move forward.
Alex Madsen
Professional Counselor Intern
I believe therapy starts with feeling heard, understood, and accepted for who you are.
I am a Clinical Mental Health Counseling intern at Colorado Mindfulness and am currently completing my graduate degree at Adams State University. Before becoming a counselor in training, I spent many years as an educator, teaching chemistry and forensic science at the high school and college levels. I have always been curious about people, how we think, why we behave the way we do, and how our experiences shape us.
My counseling experience includes addiction counseling and group counseling, as well as working with individuals from a variety of multicultural and diverse backgrounds. I have a particular interest in working with neurodivergent individuals and families, especially those navigating ADHD, autism, executive functioning, parenting, relationships, and life transitions.
My own multicultural background is an important part of who I am and how I approach counseling. I have lived in several different countries throughout Europe and have experienced firsthand what it means to navigate different cultures, languages, traditions, and perspectives. As a multilingual person, I understand how deeply culture and language can influence the way we communicate, connect with others, and understand ourselves. My personal experiences, along with my experience working with culturally diverse clients, have given me a genuine appreciation for each person's unique story and perspective.
My approach is primarily person centered, meaning I believe the therapeutic relationship is built on trust, empathy, respect, and creating a space where you can be yourself. I also draw from mindfulness, cognitive behavioral strategies, Reality Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. I believe no two people are exactly alike, so I tailor my approach to the individual and what they need.
I see therapy as a collaborative process. You know your life better than anyone. My role is to listen, ask questions, help you understand what you are experiencing, and work with you to find practical tools and meaningful ways forward.
Family is incredibly important to me. Outside of work and school, I love spending time with my child and sharing sports and activities together, especially taekwondo and soccer. Those experiences continually remind me how important connection, patience, and simply showing up for one another can be.
You do not have to have everything figured out before you start therapy. Sometimes you just need a place where you can be yourself and begin.

Professional Counselor Intern
My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and individualized. I believe that every person has a unique story, and I strive to create an environment where you feel heard, understood, and supported without judgment. Together, we'll explore the thoughts, emotions, and experiences that may be keeping you from living the life you want while building practical skills to help you move forward with confidence. I hold a Master's degree in Sport and Performance Psychology and am currently completing my Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling.
My background working with military service members has given me a deep appreciation for the challenges of balancing performance, identity, and well-being. I enjoy working with adults experiencing anxiety, life transitions, stress, self-esteem concerns, relationship challenges, performance anxiety, and identity development.
My therapeutic style is rooted in genuine connection and curiosity. I integrate evidence-based approaches while tailoring treatment to your individual needs, values, and goals. My hope is that therapy becomes a place where you can gain insight, develop healthier coping strategies, strengthen resilience, and reconnect with what matters most to you.
