Mrs. Melissa Riggins LMFT

My biggest strength as a therapist is my ability to show up and be my authentic self. This allows me to provide guidance and lead couples through different skills in a nurturing and safe environment, free from judgment. I care deeply about all of the couples and individuals I work with and I am conscious about showing up as my best self for you, so you may get the most out of our time together.

I have been working in the mental health and addiction field for over 10 years, throughout that time I have worked in a variety of settings including inpatient treatment center, domestic violence shelter, and traditional outpatient. During that time, I have worked in every position ranging from behavioral health worker, to case manager, to clinician/crisis clinician, up to program director and most recently chief clinical officer. After 10 years in working in community mental health settings, I decided to shift into private practice so I can really focus on providing the best possible care to clients in the area I specialize in. Throughout that time, I was fortunate to go complete a variety of trainings and certifications, focused on couples therapy and trauma. I am level 2 Gottman trained, DBT-certified, CPT and TF-CBT trained. I am a fully licensed marriage and family therapist and licensed addiction counselor/licensed clinical alcohol and drug counselor in the states of Colorado and Nevada.
