About Dr. Wanetta “Nita” Hughes Bise

As a licensed therapist in Colorado, I specialize in supporting individuals through complex life transitions and emotional challenges. My professional approach centers on compassionate, faith-informed counseling that honors each person’s unique journey. I have extensive experience helping clients navigate relationship dynamics, trauma recovery, grief, and personal growth.

My therapeutic work focuses on empowering women through critical life stages, including pregnancy, postpartum experiences, and midlife transitions. I provide dedicated support for individuals processing complex emotional experiences such as abandonment, attachment challenges, and healing from past traumas.

Drawing from a trauma-informed perspective, I create a safe, understanding environment where clients can explore self-love, communication patterns, and personal purpose. My background includes working closely with military veterans, first responders, and individuals processing challenging life experiences.

I approach each therapeutic relationship with deep respect, understanding that healing is a personal and courageous journey. My goal is to walk alongside you, offering guidance, support, and compassionate insight as you move toward greater emotional wellness and self-understanding.

“Thank you so much”

“Dr. Nita is an amazing listener, she tells me what I need to hear and know on a professional level.”

“I have recommended Better Help to several friends. Dr. Hughes Bise is a huge help to me and I like that she is direct and holds me accountable. She has really helped me make huge changes in my life and face my challenges head on. Thank you Nita!”

“Dr. Hughes Bise is knowledgeable, kind and personable. She offers sound advice, teaches different ways to view and approach different situations, practice self-love as well as self-care in order to be better equipped to deal with life and difficult situations.”

“Nita is great, she listens and provides wonderful nuggets of wisdom.”

“She has been an amazing support and sounding board for me during an intense transition in my life.”

“Dr. Hughes Bise has given me some concrete tools to help me with some of my issues in communication that have been really helpful so far. She's a great listener and I feel like she reaches out frequently to see how I'm doing. I feel heard and helped.”

“Dr. Hughes has been an incredibly patient, calm, and wise counselor throughout our six months working together. She has the ability to simplify what I deem to be a set of very complex and overwhelming emotions first by naming, explaining, and then giving me the tools to find peace. In addition, Nita has been very flexible with my nomadic lifestyle the past four months. We have rescheduled multiple times because I am unexpectedly (although now expectedly because it is so frequent), out of service. Nita has not only understood my crazy lifestyle, but works with me to ensure I keep up with counseling. I so appreciate it Nita, thank you!”

“I was skeptical of the online counseling model, but have found Dr. Hughes Bise to be extremely helpful in an acute time of need. I can’t recommend her calm demeanor, tactful questioning, and supportive words enough.”

“I’ve only had one visit with Dr. Hughes Bise, but she has already given me a wealth of information and new ways of looking at things”
