Meet the Team

Blakely Heckman, LCSW

Owner, Therapist, & Clinical Supervisor


Hi there! I’m so glad you found us.

My mission has been (and likely will always be) providing accessible and quality mental health care to those who are seeking it. This has led me to create Middle State - with the intent to work with clients to meet their needs regarding access to care, insurance networks, and collaborative engagement among our therapists and you!

I am passionate about supporting individuals on their journey to wellness. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or dissatisfied with your circumstances, I’m here to help you navigate these challenges. Whether you’re dealing with ongoing depression, anxiety, past trauma, or other emotional difficulties, there is hope for healing.

My clinical experience encompasses adult mental health and wellness, with a diverse background in outpatient community mental health, integrated care medical settings, and inpatient psychiatric hospitals. I have worked with individuals facing a range of issues, including depression, anxiety, trauma, psychotic disorders, and personality disorders. I believe in creating a safe and empathetic space that fosters a collaborative partnership, which can lead to profound healing.

I see individuals aged 18 and up in person and virtually in Colorado.

William Carter, LCSW

Therapist

Hi! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who believes healing happens when people feel seen, understood, and supported. With over a decade of experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families, I help clients navigate challenges related to anxiety, depression, life transitions, stress, relationships, self-esteem, and emotional well-being.

My approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and grounded in the belief that every person has the capacity for growth and change. I work alongside clients to better understand their experiences, develop practical coping strategies, and build healthier relationships with themselves and others.

In addition to my clinical work, I has extensive experience in education, youth development, and organizational leadership, giving me a unique perspective on the challenges faced by students, parents, educators, and helping professionals. I am especially passionate about supporting children, adolescents, Black and Brown communities, and individuals seeking greater balance, purpose, and wellness in their lives.

When working with me, clients can expect a space that is compassionate, authentic, and focused on helping them move toward the life they want to create.

I see individuals aged 8+ in person and virtually in Colorado. 

Camille Woodward, MFT-C

Therapist

Hi, I’m a Marriage and Family Therapist Candidate (MFT-C) in the state of Colorado with a Master’s degree in Psychological Sciences with a clinical concentration. Since 2015, I’ve worked in a variety of settings including community mental health, inpatient and outpatient therapy, crisis stabilization, and group therapy. I specialize in working with couples, young adults, and teens, and I’ve supported clients through a wide range of concerns including trauma, anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, ASD, and relationship difficulties.

My approach to therapy is warm, nonjudgmental, and collaborative. I lead with curiosity and compassion, creating a safe space where clients feel seen, heard, and supported. I deeply value the therapeutic relationship and work to tailor sessions to your unique needs and goals, whether we’re addressing past trauma, current stressors, or persistent patterns in your life. I don’t believe in having all the answers but in helping you uncover your own insights and strengths.

Outside of the therapy room, I enjoy crafts and creative hobbies like silversmithing, and I regularly practice mindfulness, something I also integrate into my clinical work. I love learning about my clients’ passions and finding ways to incorporate those interests into the healing process. If you’re looking for someone who will walk alongside you with empathy, flexibility, and curiosity, I’d be honored to support you on your journey.

I see individuals age 8 and up, couples, and families in person and virtually in Colorado.

Julia Charron, LSW

Hi there! I’m passionate about helping people feel understood, supported, and confident in navigating life’s challenges. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, stress, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, isolation, family conflict, relationship struggles, or other emotional difficulties, therapy can be a space to work through these challenges and build skills for moving forward.

I believe therapy should feel comfortable, genuine, and collaborative. My approach is tailored to each client and incorporates strength-based, client-centered, CBT, and DBT techniques. I strive to create a safe, judgment-free environment where clients can be themselves, explore what they’re experiencing, and develop tools that feel realistic and useful in their everyday lives.

My clinical experience includes working in pediatric inpatient psychiatry and an adolescent partial hospitalization program, where I supported young people experiencing a wide range of mental health challenges. I value building genuine connections with my clients and meeting them where they are in their journey.

I see children, adolescents, and young adults virtually in Colorado.
