Montezuma County has services, but they are limited, and in a community this size the closest option is not always the one you want to walk into.
Many of the families here have been in this valley for generations. You grew up alongside your neighbors, your kids go to school with their kids, and the person behind the front desk is usually someone you already know from somewhere else. That closeness is one of the best things about living here, and it is also what can make stepping toward help feel exposed.
Sometimes what stops people is stigma. Just as often it is simpler than that, and it comes down to not feeling like you have the privacy to go looking for support in the first place.
That is why we are opening an office here instead of asking Montezuma County to make the drive. We want a resource staffed by someone who knows Cortez and Dolores and the country around them, and a room that feels welcoming to walk into for whatever you are carrying.

Ask around here and it does not take long to find someone who has been managing on their own for years.
There are services in Montezuma County. There aren’t many of them, and there is not much choice in which one you walk into.
In a small community, people often want to reach help that is not right next door. When the few options nearby are staffed by someone who already knows your name, that is a reasonable thing to want. Right now it usually means a long drive, or it means going without.
The office we are opening is meant to sit inside the community rather than ask the community to leave it. We want it staffed by someone who already knows Cortez and Dolores and the country around them, close enough to actually use and private enough to walk into.
Our Dolores office provides the following services:
Dolores Anxiety Therapy
When worry stops being useful and starts running the show, when it keeps you from the things you actually want to do, that's worth working on. We see people for anxiety at our Dolores office and across Montezuma County by video.
Dolores Depression Therapy
When the days feel short and heavy and you've stopped doing the things that used to hold you up, that's worth taking seriously. We treat depression at our Dolores office and across Montezuma County.
Dolores EMDR Therapy
If a memory still hijacks your body years later, that memory got stuck, and EMDR helps change how it's stored. We offer EMDR at our Dolores office.
Dolores Individual Therapy
One hour, one room, and someone whose whole focus that hour is you. We see individual clients at our Dolores office and across Montezuma County by video.
Dolores Teen & Adolescent Therapy
For a teen or young adult figuring out who they are in a small county, having one adult clearly in their corner changes things. We work with teens and young adults at our Dolores office and across Montezuma County.
Dolores Therapy for Older Adults
Plenty of people who spent a lifetime handling things themselves reach a point where something stops working, and that's not a failure of character. We work with older adults at our Dolores office and across Montezuma County.
Dolores Trauma Therapy
If you startle easily, go on guard for no reason you can name, or react in ways that surprise you, that's often the nervous system running an old program. We work with trauma at our Dolores office.
