You Deserve Healing That Goes All the Way to the Root.
Holistic therapy and licensed natural medicine services for anxiety, depression, PTSD, and trauma — serving Colorado, Kansas, and Missouri.
Welcome to Soul Yoga Counseling
The word yoga means to unite — to bring together what has been divided. At Soul Yoga Counseling, that's exactly what we do.
When anxiety tightens its grip, when depression makes everything feel distant, when trauma keeps pulling you back to moments you're desperate to leave behind — you deserve more than surface-level coping. You deserve care that sees you as a whole person.
Founded by Melissa Perry, MA, LPC, LCPC, NMIT — a clinically licensed therapist, Natural medicine facilitator and integration therapist — Soul Yoga Counseling offers a truly integrative approach to mental health. That means combining the best of evidence-based therapy with holistic, somatic, and natural medicine services to help you reclaim your life.
You belong here. ♡

We don't just manage symptoms. Using evidence-based modalities — ACT, CBT, EMDR, DBT, somatic work, and licensed natural medicine services — we address the root causes driving your pain.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Soul Yoga Counseling?
Soul Yoga Counseling is a holistic mental health practice founded by Melissa Perry, MA, LPC, LCPC, NMIT — a licensed clinical psychotherapist and one of Colorado's first authorized natural medicine facilitators. We offer evidence-based therapy, somatic approaches, and licensed natural medicine services for adults navigating anxiety, depression, PTSD, trauma, and compassion fatigue. We serve Colorado residents in-person and via telehealth, and Kansas and Missouri residents via telehealth.
What does "holistic therapy" mean?
Holistic therapy treats the whole person — mind, body, spirit, and social context — rather than focusing only on symptoms. At Soul Yoga Counseling, this means combining evidence-based clinical modalities like EMDR, ACT, CBT, and DBT with somatic therapy, nutritional guidance, and licensed natural medicine services to address the root causes of mental health challenges, not just manage them.
What is the difference between holistic therapy and traditional therapy?
Traditional therapy primarily focuses on thoughts, feelings, and behaviors through conversation. Holistic therapy expands this to include the body, nervous system, biology, spirituality, and lifestyle. At Soul Yoga Counseling, we use both — combining the rigor of evidence-based practice with the broader perspective of holistic care to create truly individualized treatment plans.
Do you offer a free consultation?
Yes — your 10 minute consultation is completely free. It's a relaxed, no-pressure conversation where you can share what's brought you here, ask questions, and decide if Soul Yoga Counseling is the right fit for you. There's no commitment or obligation. You can schedule yours by contacting Melissa at (913) 390-3394 or melissamarie@soulyogacounseling.com.
What states do you serve?
Soul Yoga Counseling serves Colorado residents both in-person and via telehealth, and Kansas and Missouri residents via telehealth.

How do I know if therapy is right for me?
If you're struggling with anxiety, depression, PTSD, trauma, relationship challenges, compassion fatigue, or simply feel like something needs to change — therapy can help. You don't need to be in crisis to benefit from therapeutic support. Many people seek therapy as a proactive investment in their wellbeing and personal growth. The best first step is a free consultation where we can explore whether Soul Yoga Counseling is the right fit for you.
Is Soul Yoga Counseling right for first responders and healthcare workers?
Absolutely. Melissa Perry has extensive experience working with first responders, SANE nurses, ER clinicians, military personnel, and healthcare workers. She specializes in compassion fatigue, vicarious trauma, moral injury, and PTSD — and deeply understands the unique culture and challenges of helping professions. Soul Yoga Counseling is a safe, judgment-free space for those who give everything at work and need support of their own.
