Andrea Rivers, LSW

PSYCHEDELIC THERAPY for individuals & teens

About me: Hey hi! I’m Andrea—though most people call me Dre. I’m originally from Philly and have been calling Summit home since 2022. You can usually find me out on the mountain—hiking in the summer, snowboarding in the winter (and yes, I fully believe there are no friends on powder days). When I’m not chasing snow, I’m probably at a concert somewhere in the world, tasting local cuisine, or finding some other way to create an adventure.

Why I became a therapist: I’ve always been drawn to understanding people and what makes us tick. That started back in middle school—something about collaborating on group projects made me realize how much I loved problem-solving and exploring human behavior. Over the years, that curiosity (and a lot of patience) turned into a career I’m deeply grateful for. Fourteen years later, I still feel inspired every time I get to witness someone create the change they’ve been wanting in their life.

My specialities: In my practice, I integrate psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy, eco-therapy, behavioral therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). I especially love working with adults, teens, and people in the music industry—those who are curious, creative, and ready to explore their inner world in a grounded, meaningful way.

Fun facts: I have dual citizenship, I actually enjoy eight months of winter, and I once tried to learn to yodel. Let’s just say... It’s not my calling.

Andrea has been a huge help to my mental and physical health. She has encouraged me to get to know myself in sessions so that I can make the right decisions, landing me where I am right now. I struggled with addiction and depression along with physical health, and through our meetings, she connected with me in navigating new and healthy options. She is an inspiration and a person who makes me feel I have a friend to talk to and express my deepest needs and concerns. I strongly suggest her as a therapist to anyone, as I feel she can understand and hear every kind of person’s needs.

Jasa Stone LPCC

EMDR | SOMATIC-BASED HEALING | PSYCHEDELIC THERAPY for individuals

About me: My name is Jasa Stone, I'm originally from Ohio, but have been calling the Rocky Mountains home with my husband for the last decade. I’m an avid skier, and in the off-season, you can usually find me exploring the outdoors with my dog Sage, whipping up something in the kitchen, or binging my all-time favorite show, Survivor.

Why I became a therapist: I became a therapist because I know what it’s like to be constantly “go, go, go". Saying yes to everything, over-functioning, and trying to keep all the balls in the air. For a long time, I resisted slowing down because that’s when the feelings I was avoiding would surface. I was reactive to life, always on the move, instead of responding to it with awareness. My own journey taught me the power of pausing, tuning in, and approaching change with curiosity, compassion, and a touch of humor. Now, I bring that perspective to my clients, helping high-functioning adults create space to heal, grow, and reclaim their energy and lives.

My specialties: Our work together is about digging beneath the surface to uncover what’s really been holding you back. I help adults struggling with over-functioning, relationship challenges, life transitions, and old attachment wounds. Together, we use EMDR, somatic-based healing, and psychedelic-assisted therapy to go beyond surface-level coping and reach real transformation while bringing curiosity, compassion, and yes, even a little humor, along the way.

Fun Fact: I once auditioned for a reality show and got cut during the final round—but I still have the headshot and hope to take home the big prize one of these days!

Rates: $140/hr

My sessions with Jasa at Alchemy Therapy & Wellness have truly helped me find a different perspective on my life and how I overcome obstacles. Our work together helped shape my mindset and has given me tools that I use in everyday life.

Maddie Hernke, Pre-licensed therapist

SOMATIC-BASED HEALING for individuals and couples

About me: Hi! I’m Maddie! I’m so glad you’re here! I am originally from the Midwest and currently call Colorado home. I am an enthusiast of all things Avalanche hockey, Packer football, and true crime documentaries. I am equally happy reading a good book, or hiking with my husband and fur babies, Bo and Murphy.

Why I became a therapist: I grew up as a dancer and was fortunate to be able to continue to dance through college and into early adulthood. I empathize with the complex feelings and nuances that exist with high-achieving lifestyles that foster perfectionism. My undergraduate studies explored somatic practice in the context of dance, and sparked my interest in body connectivity. I got to experience first-hand the benefit that incorporating somatic practice into my own life had, and felt it was so valuable to continue my education to integrate somatic-based healing into my therapeutic practice.

I also spent several years working in cardiology as an Exercise Physiologist running cardiac stress tests and witnessing how stressed, overwhelmed, and burnt out people are. I understand how physical stress can be, and this inspired me to become a therapist to help people reduce stress.. rather than induce stress ;)

My specialities: I use Somatic-based healing to help you feel more grounded, connected, and supported as you navigate whatever season of life you’re in!

Fun Fact: One of my most favorite movies is The Grinch!

Rates: $100/hr

Maddie was very knowledgeable and did a great job supporting me, asking thoughtful questions, and following up as needed. She was always kind, supportive and empathetic…a true client advocate.

“Working with Hannah and engaging in ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) over the last two years has, quite literally, changed my life.

“I have seen several different therapists throughout my life, but I sought out KAP as a way to connect more deeply with my subconscious, hoping to gain clarity about my marriage, my life, and my path forward.

This work is both vulnerable and powerful, and it wouldn’t have been possible without the deep trust I have in Hannah. Perhaps most importantly, she has helped me trust myself more fully. I am now a firm believer in the potential of this therapy—when used safely and intentionally, ketamine can open doors to self-exploration that once felt unreachable.

While this therapy is not inexpensive, I can say with complete confidence that it has been worth every penny. The growth, healing, and self-awareness I have gained are truly invaluable, and I am so grateful. Thanks, Hannah! “

Liz Harrington, Practice & Marketing Manager

About me: Hi! I’m Liz - the person behind the Alchemy Practice Manager email ;) A born and raised Bostonian, I’ve been testing out cities from San Francisco to NYC before finally landing in Denver where I live with my partner and sweet little cockapoo, Callie. I love a good glass of organic wine, cooking the most elaborate dinners, running half marathons (and feeling like a superwoman when I do one at sea level), and reading pretty much every self help and entrepreneurship book I can get my hands on (with an occasional thriller mixed in).

Why I’m passionate about therapy: As a highly sensitive person who experienced a good amount of trauma at an early age, therapy, but especially body-based, alternative therapies have changed my life. After spending years and thousands in talk therapy, making minimal progress,, I’m passionate about spreading the word about modalities that actually get to the root of your trauma, helping you to rewire your subconscious and nervous system and creating long term change.

How I can help you: For all your questions about our services and fun stuff like finances and scheduling — you can reach out to me at hello@alchemytherapyandwellness.com

Fun Fact: I’ve starred in several musical theater shows, including Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz, Gabriella in High School Musical, and Marty in Grease
