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.

Heal at the source…

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.

Healing Looks Different for Everyone — Here's How I Can Help

Soul Yoga Counseling specializes in treatment for:

  • Anxiety disorders — generalized anxiety, panic, social anxiety

  • Depression — including treatment-resistant depression

  • PTSD and complex trauma — including sexual assault, first responder trauma, and moral injury

  • Mood disorders

  • Compassion fatigue and vicarious trauma — especially for healthcare workers, SANE nurses, and first responders

  • Co-occurring substance use disorders

Research from Johns Hopkins, NYU, and UCLA — along with the FDA's Breakthrough Therapy designation for psilocybin — shows that natural medicine services can produce profound results where traditional treatments have not. As a Colorado-licensed psychedelic-assisted and integration therapist, Melissa is qualified to support your journey through this powerful, regulated pathway to healing.

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. Natural medicine services and administration sessions are available to Colorado residents and visitors aged 21 and older, in compliance with Colorado's Natural Medicine Health Act.

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.
