Who we are

m1 group of colorado & motivational 1 Peer Support

Motivational 1 Counseling is a dedicated Behavioral Health Organization with the specific mission of “Serving the Underserved,” meaning our focus is on communities of individuals in need of various services who have been overlooked and become invisible to society. Motivational 1 is committed to providing clinical and peer support to underserved populations.

M1 also partners with outside agencies, allowing clients to continue their recovery with a seamless transition and to receive the same attention, care, and guidance they previously received.

M1 operates under Chief Clinician and Co-CEO, Melvin Grier MSW (LCSW, CAS, CFI), and Co-CEO William Terry G. Melvin is one of the most recognized and respected Social Workers along the Front Range. William has been an executive-level manager of multiple Fortune 500 companies for several decades.

Conveniently located, M1 has offices along the Front Range, including Loveland, Denver/Aurora, Colorado Springs, and Pueblo, with nationwide expansion plans in Washington, Arizona, New Mexico, and Missouri.

Peer Support

A client seeking assistance from M1 Peer Support Services begins their journey enrolled in our Comprehensive Care Model (CCM), which incorporates our belief that clients may have additional needs that should be addressed. If additional treatment, discovered during their intake evaluation, is necessary, they are then scheduled for a private, confidential clinical session or scheduled for one or more educational group sessions that will cover a wide range of topics dealing with behavioral issues, such as dealing with anxiety, trauma, family issues, etc.

During the intake process, our Clinicians develop a treatment plan, which serves as the blueprint for one of our over 30 certified peer support specialists (PSS). The support specialist uses the treatment plan to guide the client through their recovery.

Our Peer Support Specialists have lived experience just like the sponsors in AA or NA. Each M1 PSS is trained, experienced, and selected based on their background, dedication, commitment to excellence, demonstrated compassion, and the belief that peer coaching is, in fact, answering a calling.

Motivational 1 is an approved provider for “Justice Involved” individuals who are returning to society, via parole or probation, after being convicted of any number of legal infractions.
