Your starting point for a calmer mind and a more grounded life.
I’m Brad Carney, Therapist and Creator of Golden Peaks Counseling.
I If you’ve been feeling anxious, off, or not quite like yourself lately…you’re not alone.
I work with individuals across Colorado, Utah, and Virginia who are ready to understand what’s going on beneath the surface and learn practical tools to feel more like themselves again.
With thousands of hours of clinical experience and an approach rooted in neuroscience, psychology, and genuine human connection, our work goes beyond just “coping.” We focus on helping you feel more grounded, more clear, and more you.
Personalized therapy, paired with a genuine relationship, is the catalyst for healing, growth, and the journey to your best self.
Specialties
Anxiety
Anxiety can be challenging experiences that impact various aspects of daily life, which can be incredibly hard to live with. In therapy and with tailored approaches, we will work together to better understand these conditions and dig deeper into these causes, develop strong coping strategies, and foster resilience towards creating a life not led or managed by your anxiety.
Depression
Depression can feel overwhelming and isolating, affecting your mood, energy, and daily activities. In therapy, we collaborate to explore the underlying causes, develop coping skills, and create a supportive environment for healing and growth. You do not have to do this journey and living life with depression alone. Together, we work towards rediscovering joy, resilience, and a renewed sense of purpose in life.
Identity
At different stages of life, it’s common to question where you belong, what truly aligns with you, or how to live more authentically. Working with identity in therapy creates space to reflect, gain clarity, and reconnect with the values, strengths, and parts of yourself that may have been overlooked or suppressed. Together, we focus on helping you develop a stronger, more integrated sense of self so you can move through life with greater confidence, alignment, and self-understanding.
LGBTQIA+
In therapy, I provide a welcoming and affirming space for individuals who identify as LGBTQIA+. I help people navigate through shame and the difficulties of living in a culture catered to heterosexuality and gendered roles. I strive to understand and respect your unique experiences, challenges, and goals, ensuring that therapy is a supportive environment where you can explore your identity, relationships, and personal growth with authenticity and confidence.
Emotional Barriers
Many people come to therapy feeling disconnected, shut down, or stuck in patterns they can’t quite name. Emotional barriers such as shame, fear of vulnerability, or difficulty trusting can make it hard to feel fully present in life or in relationships. I help clients gently reconnect with their inner world, understand protective patterns, and build a deeper sense of emotional clarity and resilience. Together, we create space for your emotions to be acknowledged, understood, and safely expressed.
Burnout & Exhaustion
Whether it’s from work, relationships, or the constant pressure to keep it all together, burnout can leave you feeling overwhelmed, depleted, and disconnected from yourself. It often shows up as emotional exhaustion, irritability, lack of motivation, or the sense that you’re just going through the motions. Using a mind-body approach, along with practical skills and deeper insight, therapy can help you feel more grounded, restore your capacity, and begin to feel like yourself again.
