About Misty
Misty Weiser is an LCSW, licensed in Colorado and Oregon, who focuses on helping people manage depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, and sleep problems. She speaks plainly and aims to make starting therapy feel doable for someone under stress. Misty frames clients as experts in their own lives and works alongside them to build on strengths.
Her sessions emphasize practical steps and real skills. She uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help people notice patterns and try new responses. Misty also works with EMDR when trauma memories are a central concern.
Misty values gentle, steady progress. She often explains trauma with ideas from Polyvagal Theory to make sense of body responses and memory. Conversations focus on clear tools for managing panic, mood shifts, or sleep disruption so clients can try them between sessions.
She brings experience supporting people facing chronic pain or illness, isolation, and life transitions such as midlife change or questions about life purpose. The practice also addresses military-related stress and symptoms linked to post-traumatic stress and seasonal mood changes.
Misty is open about using animal-assisted work and has two therapy dogs, Lily and Maggie, who have been part of her practice. She enjoys discussing therapy choices with people and helps them pick approaches that feel right for their needs and goals.
