Meet The Team
Nancy Anderson Counseling
All of the therapists in our practice are trained in EMDR and are LGBTQIA?2S friendly and informed. All associates work under the supervision of Nancy Anderson, MA, CMHC, and offer both in-person and Telehealth appointments for clients located in Utah and Colorado.
Nancy received her graduate education at the University of Minnesota, completing her Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology in 1989. She completed training to work with survivors of sexual assault, mood disorders, such as depression, anxiety, and panic, and eating disorders. During this time, she worked professionally at a women’s center, a sexual assault center, a walk in counseling center, a medical setting, and at the University of Minnesota. She learned to teach meditation, self-hypnosis, breathing, and other mind and body self-calming mechanisms in her client work.
In 1996, she responded to a personal call to bring her work into deeper territory, weaving the realm of the spiritual, the ceremonial, and the transpersonal into her counseling approach.
She moved to Telluride, CO, to begin studying with a Shamanic healer. For over 10 intensive years, she studied Shamanism as a spiritual path, philosophy and healing art. She trained in the perspective of the medicine wheel and learned ceremonial work such as cord cutting, soul retrieval, and meeting one’s power animal. She includes being present with un-integrated aspects of the self (e.g. shadow, inner child) into traditional talk therapy. She doesn’t shy away from strong feelings, seeking to meet these aspects, rather than try to banish them. She can be a strong and positive companion and guide during a “dark night of the soul”. She cares passionately about whole human beings, with their vibrantly creative and healthy aspects, their wounding, and their yearning for healing and meaning. She brings humor, deep respect, and tenderness to helping clients with the journey of self-discovery. Clients do not need to see themselves as “spiritual” in order to work with Nancy. She meets everyone where they are and helps with the goals and the perspective that each individual brings to therapy.
In the last several years, she made another transition to Moab and has practiced here full-time since 2014. She has received additional training in Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) and Internal Family Systems (IFS), and specializes in recovery from trauma. She is an EMDR certified therapist, an EMDRIA-approved consultant and trainer, and has received IFS level 2 training.
She works individually with adults and offers EMDR consultation for other professionals. She is the owner of Nancy Anderson Counseling.

Trista Winder, LAMFT
Couples and Families, Trauma Resolution, EMDR trained
My background before becoming a therapist involved healing modalities for the mind, body, and soul. Knowing how powerful working with the whole person can be, I directed my studies to understand how traditional therapy could interact with the brain and body and heal relationships through informed trauma therapy & empathy. I specialize in working with couples who want to collaborate on healing their relationship, address wounds, and build communication, as well as working with individuals to address emotional wounding, mental health struggles, sexual abuse, faith transitions, developing and connecting with healthy sexuality, and trauma.
I offer EMDR, NARM, and somatically-informed practices to address complex and developmental trauma. My approach with couples involves Emotionally Focused Therapy, directing communication around emotions and building trust through supportive and transparent discussion. I have two years of NVC (non-violent communication) group work as well as Somatic Experiencing (SE) experience.
Therapy is a journey that I think is best supported with genuine empathy and hope. Knowing how powerful this is, I am part of a team that feels we can offer it. We hope that all parts of you can feel seen, heard, and whole, and that relationships that feel broken can find a new loving path and healthy alignment.
I hope to walk with you on this path.

Personal Growth, Stress & Anxiety, Navigating Addiction, Recovery, Neurodivergent Youth, EMDR trained.
Most people don’t come to counseling just for insight—they come because they want real change they can feel in their daily lives. My approach emphasizes honoring each client’s autonomy and wisdom while working collaboratively to build the skills and resources they need to reach their goals.
With this in mind, I focus on helping clients develop practical tools for grounding and resilience, so we can work together on the deeper patterns that contribute to stress, anxiety, fear, or unease.
My experience includes working with neurodivergent youth, individuals navigating addiction and recovery, people living with serious mental health conditions, incarcerated individuals, and those searching for meaning and purpose even after achieving external success.
I also support individuals, couples, and families facing everyday concerns like relationship conflict, work stress, life transitions, or a desire for personal growth. Every person is the expert on their own life—and therapy is a space to uncover and strengthen the resilience they already carry.
Whether you're facing a significant challenge or simply want support in living with more clarity and confidence, I’m here to help.
Katelyn Crossley, ACMHC
Children and Adults, Mind-Body, Sand Tray Therapy, EMDR trained.
If you are seeking support, I'd be honored to offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you can unravel, reflect, and access deeper self-awareness and humble, empowered choice. Through thoughtful guided inquiry and supportive tools, my aim is to help you connect with your own inner wisdom. I believe you hold your own best answers. My role is to support the space for further access to your own wise truths. I work with a holistic lens and bring in a background of outdoor-based therapies. While many aspects of life influence our well-being, I see myself as an advocate for your nervous system.
I'm particularly passionate about somatics (the mind-body connection), expressive arts, and sand tray therapies with both children and adults, recognizing that talk therapy alone can have its limits. These resources can be especially supportive during significant life transitions. I work with adults, children, and elders.
My training is rooted in humanistic counseling and integrates Relational Cultural Theory, Narrative Therapy, EMDR, parts work, sand tray, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Jungian and Gestalt approaches, Feminist and Queer Theory, and Liberation Theory.
