Bruised Not Broken Therapy was born out of the lack of Afrocentric based psychotherapy that allowed people of color to embrace their journey of life through the context of color. HIV, substance abuse, mental health and the denial of the experience of being a person of color continues to plague communities of color, as we still have yet to talk about these experiences.

If you've spent years reading the room before you read yourself, you're not alone. Maybe you learned early to keep the peace, smooth things over, or say "I'm fine" long after you stopped meaning it. That habit may have kept you safe once. Now it might be why you feel exhausted, unseen, or unsure of what you actually want.
I work with people who are used to shrinking themselves to stay agreeable — at work, at home, in relationships — and who are ready to find out what it feels like to take up space instead. I also work with anxiety, perfectionism, self-doubt, grief, and major life transitions.

I’m Max Stager, a Licensed Professional Counselor (MA, LPC, NLP) with over 20 years of clinical experience working with adults, couples, families, and teens. I help people find connection, clarity, and healthier ways of relating to themselves and others. My work often focuses on relationship issues, communication struggles, trauma recovery, and personal growth.
I integrate diverse therapeutic perspectives because life doesn’t fit neatly into one box. I work collaboratively with clients to build on your strengths, understand patterns that hold you back, and develop concrete tools that help you feel more confident and connected. Outside therapy I enjoy Colorado’s wide open spaces, time with animals, and cycling the trails around home.

It can be a struggle to keep it all together. Family or relationship conflicts, LGBTQ+ related issues, self-esteem, painful memories that you can't shake, or maybe just needing someone to talk to about things you can't imagine talking to anyone about. You're not alone. It's been a really difficult couple of years. I will help you explore in a safe and accepting space so that you can start to feel good again.
Imagine feeling more relief and alleviating the anxiety and fear that have become overwhelming. Together, we can lift painful thoughts and help you to gain tools and understandings that bring the light in again.
In working with me, you can have access to an approachable therapist that uses evidenced-based tools, but woven into a safe therapeutic relationship. I look forward to working together.

Therapy with Lived Wisdom
With over 20 years of experience walking alongside individuals on their healing journeys, I bring more than clinical knowledge—I bring lived understanding. My work is rooted in the mind-body connection, because true healing doesn’t just happen in the mind. It happens in the nervous system, in the body, and in the deeper layers of the self.
Choosing a therapist is a sacred step. If you’re wondering how to choose, I invite you to ask: “Do they do their own work? Have they sat in the depths they’ll be guiding me through?”
I have. I’ve lived the unraveling. I’ve done the deep inner work. And I’ve found my way through.
Now, I offer a steady, compassionate presence to help you find yours. You don’t have to do this alone.
Let me walk with you.

Starting therapy can be intimidating — I hope to help you feel less alone. As a licensed clinical social worker, my approach is grounded in meeting you where you are and helping you move toward empowerment. I support people who feel weighed down by stress or self-doubt to find more calm, confidence, and balance in their lives.

As a Missouri Ozarks native, nature and the outdoors have always played a huge part in my healing journey and mental health. Growing up, I was outside any chance I got; riding bikes, riding horses, climbing trees, bird watching, rock collecting, camping, hiking, floating, boating, spelunking, exploring creeks, and enjoying campfires. Nature immersion, movement in nature, outdoor recreation, and horsemanship remain part of my daily practice; and I incorporate these into my therapeutic work wherever possible.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who specializes in working with first responders, veterans, and individuals in other high-stress professions who are navigating trauma, burnout, anxiety, depression, and the family and relationship challenges that often accompany these careers. In addition to this population, I also work with mom's who are feeling anxiety, burnout, and depression. It is important to explore difficult experiences, strengthen coping skills, and reconnect with yourself and the people who matter most to you. Building trust and safety in our sessions is always my first priority.
What makes my practice unique is my personal experience with responder and veteran culture and being a mom, which allows me to offer not only clinical expertise, but a genuine understanding of the realities, pressures, and unspoken challenges that come with these professions.
I am deeply passionate about this work because I see the daily demands you face, and I believe you deserve a space where you are truly understood and supported. My goal is to help you feel mentally healthier, grounded, and better equipped to manage the weight of your work, whatever that might be, so you can continue to serve with strength while also enjoying your life and career.
