Meet Our Team
Tamera Valentine, LMFT, LAC, BSN, RN
Tamera Valentine, known by most as Tami, is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Addiction Counselor, Registered Nurse, licensed school counselor, and licensed teacher. Her background allows her to understand mental health through several important lenses, including relationships, family systems, addiction recovery, physical health, education, and day-to-day functioning.
Tami works with individuals, couples, and families navigating anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship stress, addiction recovery, parenting concerns, and major life transitions. Her approach is client-centered and trauma-informed, while also being practical, honest, and focused on growth. She believes good therapy should help people feel understood, while also helping them gain insight, build skills, and move forward with more confidence.
Tami integrates evidence-based and trauma-informed approaches including EMDR, family systems therapy, CBT, motivational interviewing, sandtray/play-based interventions, and expressive approaches tailored to each client’s needs.
Tami and her husband live in southern Colorado, where they own a ranch and raise cattle and quarter horses. They have been married for 27 years and have four adult children. When she is not working or ranching, Tami enjoys running, painting, playing the piano, and working in her yard.
Tami chose behavioral health because she cares deeply about helping individuals and families understand themselves, heal, and grow. The longer she has worked in this field, the more hopeful she has become. Watching people make meaningful progress toward peace, resilience, motivation, and confidence continues to inspire the way she practices.
Our therapists bring different backgrounds, strengths, and areas of focus, while sharing a commitment to trauma-informed, evidence-based care. We help clients connect with the provider who best fits their needs, goals, and stage of life.
Erica Cervantez, LPC
Erica works with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, past trauma, and co-occurring substance use concerns. She is a strong fit for clients who want to better understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and life experiences.
​
Her approach is collaborative, practical, and skills-based. Erica uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients recognize unhelpful thinking patterns, challenge beliefs that keep them stuck, and develop healthier ways of responding to stress, emotions, and relationships.
​
Erica is also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), an evidence-based approach used to help clients process traumatic experiences and reduce the emotional distress connected to painful memories. EMDR may be especially helpful for clients working through trauma, PTSD symptoms, anxiety, and substance use-related concerns.
​
Erica works well with clients who are motivated for change, even if they are not sure where to begin. Her goal is to help clients build insight, develop practical tools, and experience meaningful, lasting relief.
Denice Broyles, LPCC
Denice works with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship stress, substance use concerns, and life transitions. She provides a supportive, collaborative approach that helps clients better understand themselves, develop practical tools, and move toward meaningful change.
​
Her work is grounded in evidence-based practices tailored to each client’s needs. Denice incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns, Motivational Interviewing (MI) to strengthen readiness for change, and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to support emotional awareness, connection, and healthier relationship patterns.
​
Denice is also trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (A.R.T.), an evidence-based trauma treatment approach that can help clients process distressing memories, reduce emotional reactivity, and experience relief from symptoms related to trauma, anxiety, grief, and other difficult life experiences.
Denice’s goal is to create a safe and practical therapy experience where clients feel supported, challenged in healthy ways, and empowered to move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
