Private Therapy &
Recovery Practice
for Men.

Belina has dedicated her career to understanding the distinct challenges her clients face, offering a highly individualized, caring, and nonjudgmental approach.

In private practice since 1995, Belina received her Master of Social Work from the University of Denver. She subsequently became a Certified Addictions Specialist in 1996 and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in 1997. Over her career, she has supervised therapeutic staff at the Mental Health Center of Denver, mentored emerging clinicians, and developed specialized programs in the field of recovery.

From 2000 to 2011, she served as an Adjunct Professor in the Social Work department at Metropolitan State University of Denver, teaching undergraduate and graduate courses covering subjects including direct interventions, adult mental health, and case management.

While she spent two decades working extensively with women and couples, Belina observed the specific clinical needs of men in mental health and recovery. Recognizing that many men respond positively to practical, concrete frameworks, she integrated advanced coaching methodologies into her clinical practice. This evolution ultimately led to the creation of Your Way to Recovery—a practice uniquely attuned to men's experiences.

By addressing root causes like shame, anxiety, and trauma, she helps clients process difficult emotions while actively building lifelong coping skills. Her eclectic clinical framework is evidence-based, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), existential therapy, strengths-based therapy, and positive psychology.

Beyond her private practice, Belina has shared her perspective in podcast conversations, including an appearance on Alcohol Free Lifestyle.
