Hi, I’m Michael Hamerly, LPC, CAC II

As a father of four, husband of over 40 years, chaplain and former military pilot, I’ve faced my share of life’s turbulence. 

Those experiences taught me the importance of connection, trust, and having a steady guide when navigating life’s challenges.

That’s why I’m passionate about helping others find their footing and create meaningful change.

Serving individuals and couples across Colorado, I’m here to help you turn frustration into peace, disconnection into trust, and stagnation into meaningful growth.

Your struggles don’t define you -
what you do next does. 

If you’re ready to gain clarity, and take back control of your life, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.

Yet, time and time again, they find that "doing it alone" leads to frustration and relapse. Connection, not isolation, is the true antidote to addiction. By fostering meaningful relationships and reaching out for support, individuals can build the resilience needed to prevent relapse and achieve lasting recovery.
