About Mountain Mindfulness
Thoughtful, depth-oriented care grounded in mindfulness, compassion, and practical support for meaningful change
Mountain Mindfulness is a private-pay psychotherapy practice in Grand Junction, Colorado, offering individualized care for adults seeking healing, steadiness, and a more grounded way of living. The work is practical, human, and rooted in both evidence-based therapy and contemplative practice.
Mission
To offer clear, compassionate, research-supported psychotherapy that helps people regulate the nervous system, deepen self-understanding, and move toward a steadier and more meaningful life.
Vision
A community where healing is grounded, relationships are kinder, and people know how to meet difficulty with greater awareness, compassion, and integrity. A life where peace is more available, values are more lived, and the outdoors can also become part of the healing path.
How I help
I offer individual psychotherapy for adults navigating trauma and complex trauma, grief, anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, people-pleasing, major life transitions, and deeper questions of meaning and identity. Sessions integrate mindfulness and compassion-based care with approaches such as CBT, ACT, DBT-informed skills, and experiential practices when helpful.
Nature-based mindfulness options may include walk-and-talk sessions on outdoor paths, sit-spot practice, sensory awareness, and mindful movement for grounding, stress relief, and perspective. I also offer mindfulness and compassion-based classes, along with consultation, supervision, and training for clinicians, educators, and community partners.
The work bridges neuroscience, psychotherapy, and contemplative wisdom in clear, practical language.
About Jerred Endsley, LCSW
Jerred Endsley, LCSW, is an evidence-based psychotherapist, mindfulness teacher, meditation instructor, clinical researcher, and educator. He began practicing mindfulness at a young age and has spent his career translating contemplative wisdom into practical, research-informed care for trauma, grief, anxiety, perfectionism, burnout, and emotional healing.
He earned his BA in Psychology from Purdue University and his MSW from Boston College. He completed a two-year post-graduate clinical fellowship with a Harvard Medical School affiliate, where he provided CBT and DBT in intensive settings, supervised trainees, and contributed to research on cognitive remediation and recovery-oriented care.
After relocating to Colorado, Jerred worked with incarcerated youth and later served within the Veterans Affairs Western Colorado Health Care System. As Local Recovery Coordinator, he developed recovery-oriented services, implemented DBT group therapy, and created mindfulness and nature-based programs for both staff and Veterans.
He has also taught widely in higher education and community settings, including Colorado Mesa University, where he served as Interim BSW Program Director and Assistant Professor. Across settings, his work remains rooted in the same values: grounded science, contemplative insight, and deep respect for human dignity.
Jerred founded Mountain Mindfulness Psychotherapy & Holistic Healing in Grand Junction as a solo private-pay practice dedicated to careful, compassionate, individualized care. His clinical work integrates mindfulness and compassion-based approaches with CBT, DBT-informed skills, ACT, nature-based mindfulness, and practical tools that clients can carry into daily life.
At the heart of his approach is the conviction that healing is not only about symptom relief. It is also about learning how to relate to experience with more awareness, honesty, steadiness, and compassion. He helps clients reconnect with what is already here beneath reactivity and overwhelm, and from that ground build a life that feels more aligned, more workable, and more deeply their own.
