Hello, my name is Cassandra Sanchez. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and psychotherapist with over 7 years of experience across the mental health field and am passionate about helping clients regain control of their lives.

I Strive to cultivate a calm and empathetic environment during our sessions, meeting you exactly where you are. I’m here to provide a path towards supporting your growth as you explore your strengths, challenges, and life experiences.

Hello, I’m AngelaBryan, a Licensed Professional Counselor who works with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and the lingering impact of difficult past experiences.

Many of my clients are thoughtful, capable people who feel overwhelmed by worry, self-doubt, or emotional patterns that keep repeating in their relationships or daily life. Therapy offers a space to slow down, understand what’s happening beneath the surface, and begin responding to life with greater clarity and confidence.

My primary approach is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps people develop psychological flexibility and move toward the life they want, even in the presence of difficult thoughts or emotions. I also integrate attachment-informed work, mindfulness, and practical tools that support emotional regulation and self-awareness.

Clients often appreciate that our work together is both insightful and practical, helping them better understand themselves while building skills they can use in everyday liMy approach to therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I believe meaningful change happens when people feel both understood and supported while also gaining practical tools to navigate life differently.

I offer in person sessions in Colorado Springs and Telehealth sessions throughout the state of colorado.

Dr. Brutus is a licensed mental health provider and Certified Mental Performance Consultant (CMPC) in the field of Sport and Performance Psychology who works at the intersection of mental health, sport, and leadership performance. She supports high-achievers—including athletes, professionals, and leaders—who are navigating pressure, identity, performance demands, and life transitions.

In addition to therapy services covered by insurance, Dr. Brutus also provides mental performance consulting leveraging her specialty training in sport psychology, which focuses on optimizing performance in sport, business, and leadership settings. This work is not covered by insurance and is typically more goal-oriented and performance-driven.

Dr. Brutus is known for her warm, direct, and empowering style. She creates a space where clients feel supported while also being challenged to grow. Whether clients are seeking mental health support, performance enhancement, or both, her goal is to help them build clarity, resilience, and confidence across all areas of life.

My introduction to helping people and psychology both came about, as a result of following my mom’s example and the Bob Newhart Show. My mother was a natural people person with a keen interest and background in psychology. My take-away from the Bob Newhart Show drove home the needs for humor and light-heartedness as well as a genuine love for what you do. I believe that those qualities: love for people and my passion and seeing the humor in things truly define me, both as a therapist and a person. My academic journey led me to both bachelors and masters degrees from The University of Northern Colorado and included intensive training in Neuro-Linguistic Programming and Hypnotherapy during my sabbatical in between my degrees. With a strong theoretical base supporting me, I moved forward and was able to blend my education with twenty years of real-world experience. I went on and diversified my experience as I worked in community counseling, community corrections, Inpatient psychiatric hospitals, and private practice. Although our learning never ceases, I feel very comfortable and sincere in offering clients my wealth of experience, knowledge of human behavior, and most of all, a kind ear.
