Kris Pierson

Meet Our Founder

I am a proud father of four, juggling life with two teenagers and two toddlers, and always making time for outdoor adventures. My family’s motto, “love God, love people,” is at the core of who I am, reflecting my belief in the strength of community and the importance of lifting one another up. Whether we’re hiking the mountains, playing golf, or simply enjoying time together at home, I believe life is about connection and creating memories with those we love.

Professionally, I spent 25 years in the corporate world, where I let large teams and developed leaders. Over time, I discovered my true passion in counseling and earned a master’s in clinical mental health counseling from Colorado Christian University with an emphasis in marriage and family therapy. Today I integrate my leadership experiences and my passion for fostering growth into my work with families, couples, and individuals to help them flourish. I believe that strong relationships are essential for personal development and the overall strength of the community. I also dedicate time to volunteer with an organization that works to strengthen bonds between fathers and their children through outdoor adventures.

we’re here to walk alongside you

About Mountain Pathways Counseling

Mountain Pathways was formed from a desire to empower families, couples, and individuals by providing tools to navigate challenges and foster growth.

Our Holistic Approach to Therapy

Our Approach

At Mountain Pathways Counseling, we believe that healing and growth occur in an environment that fosters trust, understanding, and empathy. Our approach is built on the foundation of holistic well-being, addressing not only emotional and mental health but also the relational and physical aspects of life. We use a variety of emotionally & solution focused therapeutic techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectic Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Gottman Method (Level I & II) to support our clients. Each person’s journey is unique, and we customize our approach to fit your individual needs.

Whether you’re working through trauma, relationship challenges, or life transitions, we provide the guidance and tools you need to move forward with confidence. We prioritize creating an environment where our clients feel heard, valued, and empowered to make lasting changes.
