About Us
Samantha Torres, LPC
Lead Counselor
Reflecting Light Guidance is a mental health practice based in Colorado that offers trauma-informed individual and group counseling for adults. Our approach incorporates personalized guided meditation, CBT-A for increased awareness of thought patterns, IFS techniques, and art and creative therapies in our sessions. We originally opened in 2019 under the name Mesa Guidance and later rebranded to Reflecting Light Guidance to better represent our counseling style and approach. We stand out from other mental health telehealth practices with our concierge-style practice, small caseloads for personalized care, and a partnership with hands-on prescribers. Individuals who have used our services describe their experience with Reflecting Light Guidance as insightful, compassionate and transformative, and are appreciative of the in-session skill-building and reflective feedback provided.
Samantha provides a balance between validating my experience and challenging me. She allows a place where I can explore, disagree, feel emotions and slow down. It is the exact opposite of what I was allowed growing up in a restrictively religious environment and I feel like I'm getting to build so much more compassion and understanding for myself through this experience.

I really like how active my sessions with Samantha are and that it's not just me talking and her listening all the time. She definitely gives me things to
think about throughout the week and I have seen huge improvements in my life from 'doing the work' out of sessions. I don't know if I wasn't ready to do it before or if her approach just works better for me but I get the feeling she's really invested and engaged.

Testimonials
I reached out to Samantha due to some relationship issues I was having with my family. She really helped me to work through what patterns were present with them that were preventing me from setting the boundaries that I wanted to and helped me to find the words and strength to stand up for myself.

Samantha is a calm and grounded person but what I get the most from out of our session time is her questions which are usually insightful and help me think about things in a new way.
- CR 2025
I've been seeing Samantha for over 5 years on and off due to some complex grief I was really struggling with handling things alone. I always feel supported and like she walks with me through dark moments.

Samantha is the best therapist I’ve come across, she is kind, punctual, and her communication is top notch. I wish everyone was as lucky to have met her as their therapist.
