Charity Mills, MA, LPC 💫 President of Colorado Teletherapy Services (CTS) and Grow Your Own Thoughts (GYOT)
Charity holds a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with certifications in Trauma Model Therapy, Metacognitive Therapy, and Low Energy Neurofeedback. She is dedicated to revolutionizing traditional mental health care. As a speaker, clinical educator, and author of Grow Your Own Thoughts: Microdosing With Purpose, Charity brings education and guidance to those seeking to understand the benefits of microdosing psilocybin. Her premise is the recognition that the goal of microdosing is to change the current experience of life… which starts with changing thinking, even the idea of thought itself.
Interweaving the science of how psilocybin impacts the brain, and her personal work with over 300 individual microdosing clients to date, she brings clarity and intrigue to the idea of microdosing psilocybin for real-life mental health. This is not a one-dose-fits-all, it is a personal journey of healing and growth which requires a willingness to step away from fear and back toward the natural self. As a clinician, Charity’s goal is to empower individuals to see themselves as trustworthy and capable of making healthy personal choices for their life. Colorado Teletherapy Services provides the psychotherapeutic component of care both individually as well as in group sessions, even offering free bimonthly microdosing groups for anyone seeking information, community or guidance on microdosing psilocybin for mental health.
Grow Your Own Thoughts brings access to the key component of psilocybin. By providing safe access to personal-size colonized propagators, known as Thought Boxes, as well as interactive support and regular online classes, GYOT brings fun, community, and guidance to the cultivation at home process. The partnering of these two companies has bridged the bold step forward of integrating natural medicine and mental wellness for all. If you’re impressed by educational accolades and career accomplishments, you will be challenged by some of the ideas Charity proposes. If you’re less impressed, you will likely resonate with her refreshing way of reevaluating perspectives we hold about ourselves and others.
