I am a licensed counselor in both Montana and Colorado. I graduated from Montana State University in 2008 with a masters degree in Marriage and Family Counseling. I have been providing therapy services for over 10 years and have experience in multiple settings. While much of my experience has been with kids and young adults, I also have a great deal of experience in family therapy, as well as providing parents support and coaching through difficult situations. I also have a great deal of experience in helping those going through transitions including, but not limited to, grief and loss, divorce, changes in careers, and children going off to college. I am also experienced in working with individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, and anger management issues. I also have a background in working with survivors of abuse and other traumatic events. My counseling style is very open, meeting people where they are at. Therapy can be very difficult and people entering therapy may feel very vulnerable. Thus, I like to try to help my clients feel comfortable and supported throughout the process. Compassion and sensitivity are key to my counseling style and I strive to ensure that my clients feel accepted throughout the counseling process. My counseling approach is a combination of cognitive-behavioral, dialectical behavioral, person-centered, and reality-based therapy. I often adjust my counseling style to fit each individual, their therapy goals, and current needs. It takes a great deal of bravery to engage in the self-exploration process and make the changes needed to become the best version of you that you can be. If you are ready to start this process, I would love to be able to support and assist you in your journey to self-discovery, realization, and resiliency.

My hope is for you to engage in our time together feeling more empowered to make the changes in your life that create lasting health both for yourself and in your relationships. Therapy can sometimes feel like it hurts more than it helps when addressing the hurts, challenging the blind spots that can keep you stuck. Yet, pushing through the tough stuff together is where the most significant and lasting changes occur and it is always worth it. If you are willing, I look forward to that journey with you!

I am a licensed professional counselor in Colorado with 16 years of experience. I have worked with a wide range of individuals across the lifespan, in a variety of settings (e.g. private practice, hospital, community mental health, medical clinic--integrated care), with a diversity of concerns to include, depression/anxiety, psychosis, conflict resolution and family/relationship concerns, adult ADHD, parenting, trauma and many other types of issues. My approach to therapy is empathic, holistic, warm and interactive and strengths based. I believe in every client’s ability to choose their path, and will with compassion and hope, help you begin the often-difficult process of recovery and healing. Although I draw upon many evidenced based theories, I most often utilize rational emotive-behavioral and cognitive-behavioral, insight oriented, existential and solutions focused theories in a brief modality, depending on the nature of the concerns. I believe a lot of positive work can be done in brief therapy. I also believe wellness encompasses many facets, such as physical, emotional, intellectual, social and spiritual. I respectfully and comfortably explore these facets as appropriate. I will tailor the therapeutic process to meet your needs. If you are ready to begin this process I am here to empower and support you. I look forward to walking the path of change and recovery together.

I believe that good therapy comes from a warm, non-judgmental professional relationship. I will work with you to help you achieve your goals and live your best life.

My name is Brianna Auge, Licensed Professional Counselor, and I feel privileged to be a part of people's self-discovery and healing journeys! However short or long the path is, I will empower and encourage you to explore new perspectives. Through conscious awareness of how you have been and how you are being now, the path to how you want to be can be revealed. When you enter the virtual therapy room with me, you can safely explore and reflect upon your behaviors, emotions, and thoughts while learning new and helpful coping skills. More than anything I will be a trustworthy and compassionate sounding board as you begin unpacking and processing through all of the stuck, messy, uncomfortable emotions. You will learn emotions are not the enemy but rather messengers to help understand what the self needs. You are a unique individual who deserves to be heard, seen, and understood. So if you want to vent and process through life experiences – I’m here for that too. When you are ready, we will work collaboratively as you craft the mind-set and actions to release self-limiting patterns and expand your horizons. Together we will walk the path, take breaks to breathe, reflect and connect the dots which ultimately design how you want to live as well as to cultivate hope!
