Areas of Focus:

Connor De Catron is a Licensed Social Worker providing therapeutic services in the Summit County and Denver areas since 2022. Connor has additional background in school social work/school systems, residential treatment, and community health. Connor brings a mix of cognitive interventions, psychodynamic approaches, mindfulness practices, and strengths-based thinking into his work with clients and holds that trust and fit in the therapeutic relationship itself is paramount to client success. Connor is excited by the opportunities for collaboration and progress tracking by utilizing Theryo, and hopes his clients are as excited about this platform as he is. As a lifelong Coloradoan, Connor enjoys all of the open spaces and outdoor recreation this state offers, but you’ll be just as likely to find him curled up with a good book, playing a board game with friends, or spending time with his wife and two dogs.

Carly, is a licensed professional counselor based in beautiful Summit County, Colorado, where she combines her passion for mental health and the outdoors to help people feel more grounded, connected, and whole.

At Grit Therapy in Silverthorne, she specializes in blending traditional talk therapy with eco‑therapy, offering walk‑and‑talk, trail running, biking, and ski‑and‑talk sessions to help clients reconnect with both nature and themselves. She works with individuals and couples, weaving together approaches like EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and mindfulness, often with a side of fresh mountain air. Whether in the office or on the trail, she believes healing happens best when people feel safe, seen, and connected to the natural world.

Carly is currently pursuing a PhD focused on how nature impacts mental well-being—something she lives and breathes every day through her work and her life. She can often be found trail running, reading, playing tennis with her tennis-pro fiancé, or snuggling up with her Golden Retriever, Lemon (who might just be the real therapist in the house).

She invites clients to walk, talk, and grow—inside and out!
