Ignite Counseling Colorado has been selected as a 2026 Colorado Companies to Watch award winner, an honor that recognizes second-stage companies demonstrating strong performance, leadership, and community impact. The award highlights the practice's growth from a solo operation founded in 2018 to a team of highly-trained clinicians providing specialized mental health services across the Denver Metro area.
The Colorado Companies to Watch program, established in 2009, supports growth-stage organizations through year-round programming and resources. For Ignite Counseling Colorado, this recognition reflects a commitment to expanding access to compassionate, evidence-based care while maintaining a community-centered culture. Founder and Clinical Director Carla D'Agostino-Vigil started the practice with the belief that healing happens through exceptional clinical care. Today, Ignite provides specialized treatment for anxiety, trauma, OCD, relationship challenges, and life transitions, serving individuals, couples, adolescents, and families.
“We're incredibly honored to receive this recognition from Colorado Companies to Watch,” said Carla D'Agostino-Vigil, Founder and CEO. “This award comes at an especially meaningful time as we prepare to open our new Youth & Family Therapy Center in Westminster. Expanding our services for children and teens ages 6–17, including play therapy, EMDR therapy, and individual counseling, reflects our continued commitment to meeting the growing mental health needs of our community.”
As part of Mindfully Behavioral Health, Ignite Counseling Colorado combines the warmth of a local practice with the resources of a leading behavioral health organization. The recognition underscores not just growth but the practice's dedication to quality care. “This recognition isn't simply about growth,” added D'Agostino-Vigil. “It's about staying true to who we are while continuing to serve more people. We remain committed to providing exceptional care, supporting our communities, and helping every client build a healthier, more fulfilling life.”
The award comes as mental health needs continue to rise across the state, making Ignite's expansion of youth services particularly significant. By adding specialized care for children and teens, the practice aims to address critical gaps in access to evidence-based treatment. The new Youth & Family Therapy Center in Westminster will offer play therapy, EMDR, and individual counseling, reinforcing the practice's mission to ensure every client feels seen, heard, and supported.
Ignite Counseling Colorado's recognition as a Colorado Companies to Watch winner highlights the importance of community-focused mental health providers in addressing the state's growing behavioral health challenges. The practice's growth demonstrates that compassionate, evidence-based care can be scaled without losing its personalized touch.
