As a licensed therapist in Colorado, I specialize in supporting individuals through complex life transitions and emotional challenges. My professional approach centers on compassionate, faith-informed counseling that honors each person's unique journey. I have extensive experience helping clients navigate relationship dynamics, trauma recovery, grief, and personal growth.
My therapeutic work focuses on empowering women through critical life stages, including pregnancy, postpartum experiences, and midlife transitions. I provide dedicated support for individuals processing complex emotional experiences such as abandonment, attachment challenges, and healing from past traumas.
Drawing from a trauma-informed perspective, I create a safe, understanding environment where clients can explore self-love, communication patterns, and personal purpose. My background includes working closely with military veterans, first responders, and individuals processing challenging life experiences.
I approach each therapeutic relationship with deep respect, understanding that healing is a personal and courageous journey. My goal is to walk alongside you, offering guidance, support, and compassionate insight as you move toward greater emotional wellness and self-understanding.

Dr. Hughes has been an incredibly patient, calm, and wise counselor throughout our six months working together. She has the ability to simplify what I deem to be a set of very complex and overwhelming emotions first by naming, explaining, and then giving me the tools to find peace. In addition, Nita has been very flexible with my nomadic lifestyle the past four months. We have rescheduled multiple times because I am unexpectedly (although now expectedly because it is so frequent), out of service. Nita has not only understood my crazy lifestyle, but works with me to ensure I keep up with counseling. I so appreciate it Nita, thank you!

Dr. Hughes Bise, made me feel confident and find a new outlook on life. After just two weeks, I felt the difference and saw a change. I used all the tools she provided and could definitely see the results. She is very warm and gentle with her approach, with great results in a short amount of time. I always look forward to our next sessions.

Dr. Hughes Bise has become someone I can confide in without feeling judged or pressured into a decision. She's helping me understand my own self and work through my issues. She's been the exact support that I need.

I so appreciated the fact that Dr. Hughes Bise met me where I was and addressed the problem I was having, rather than me having to explain my lifestyle to her and defend the parts that I already accept. That kind of respect and acceptance was why I sought out a counselor through PRIDE, rather than chance it with a "general" counseling site.

Dr. Hughes was wonderful to work with. I would highly recommend to anyone who is in need of counseling. She helped me to find and respect myself. She gives great advice and truly does care about your issues and is very true to you.

I am glad and happy that I am able to talk with someone who understands and directs me clearing out my confusions and doubts. It has helped me to gain my self-confidence.

I have enjoyed the conversations with Nita and I’m always excited on the days of our session. She’s helped me develop boldness in tackling life’s issues, having uncomfortable conversations and always choosing to think that is conducive to happiness, even in unhappy and confusing circumstances. I instantly felt comfortable having these tough conversations with her that I have never had before outside of my mind. I have better emotional intelligence from this experience with Nita. I shared with Nita that I love the fact that for one hour a week, I can say the wildest things that I’ve held back for so long and there’s no repercussions, judgement or the other persons feelings hurt. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed this experience and one of the smartest things I’ve ever done for myself. My soul and mind is going to thank me for this in the number of years to come. I’ve also taken big practical steps in fixing my issues thanks to Nita’s one advice that could change my life literally. Nita has given me Hope that I’ll be okay.
Thank you Nita and thank you BetterHelp!!!!

Dr. Hughes Bise has been able to help me develop goals and determine ways to work towards them in steps that are manageable and appropriate. She listens and provides advice that is on-point and direct. Although I was reluctant at first to engage fully in therapy, I have noticed times throughout the day where things that we have spoken about have come to me and helped me to move forward in a positive direction towards my goals.
