Abby Howard, MSW, LCSW, CPCC, is a humanistic, EMDR certified psychotherapist in Boulder County. As a white, cisgender, able-bodied, middle-class, small-fat, queer woman she strives to be aware of how her identity shapes the way she sees the world and how she works with clients. Utilizing a culturally responsive and person-centered approach to psychotherapy, Abby is committed to creating spaces for her clients to be fully seen, understood and held with empathy and positive regard. Abby has over 10 years of experience as a clinical social worker and received her MSW from Washington University in St. Louis. She specializes in complex trauma, identity work, and self-esteem.

In the role of therapist, my initial priority is creating the safety and familiarity that is crucial to do real work together. I look at the therapeutic process as an opportunity to work with the person coming to me in need of support, and tackle their issues as a team. I bring a nonjudgmental, open-minded approach to my clients and emphasize the importance of clients feeling secure enough to say anything they need to in the space we curate together. My approach has an emphasis on self-compassion and becoming in tune with your emotions and body. In today’s world, it is easier than ever to become disconnected from your body and feelings. My hope is that we can work together to reintegrate your inner wisdom to your conscious level of awareness.

College can be exciting, but it can also feel overwhelming in ways you didn’t expect. You might feel like everyone else has it figured out while you’re quietly struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, or feeling disconnected from yourself or others. Maybe you’re navigating a breakup, loss, or a shift in who you thought you’d be. I work with people who are trying to make sense of who they are while balancing school, relationships, and future pressure. My clients are thoughtful and self-aware, often the strong one for others, but underneath feel burned out or unsure of where they fit. In our work together, we’ll slow things down and make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface. Therapy is collaborative and active. I’ll help you understand patterns, build tools to manage stress, and feel more grounded, confident, and connected.

I am passionate about my work and aim to build a collaborative partnership with my clients, fostering transformation, fulfillment, and growth. I believe in establishing trust and letting the present moment guide the therapeutic process. I work toward developing a deeper understanding of how our body sensations, mind, and emotions shape our sense of well-being. Throughout my 25 years of experience, I have worked with a wide range of counseling and therapy modalities. I'm bilingual in English and Hebrew and can offer services in both languages. One of the most important elements of therapy is finding the right fit. To explore whether working with me feels right for you, please email me at ornapele@gmail.com. I look forward to hearing from you.

With an integrative approach to practicing therapy modalities, I have a professional focus centered on humanistic, experiential, and mindfulness styles. I utilize Person-Centered Therapy (Client-Centered/Rogerian), Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), Psychodynamic Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Gestalt Therapy (Experiential), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Existential Therapy. I believe in approaching the therapy relationship in a collaborative and supportive manner to help facilitate the process of growth and change.

If you’re looking for a therapist who will support your growth with honesty, compassion, and genuine care, you’re in the right place. I work with clients who are ready to make meaningful changes and who want someone to walk alongside them—not just in session, but in the work that happens between sessions too. My approach is grounded in meeting you exactly where you are and collaborating to find solutions that fit your life. I help individuals navigate depression, anxiety, negative self‑talk, and challenges with self‑image, and I specialize in mental health and trauma. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I draw from evidence‑based modalities including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Solution‑Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I work with adolescents through adults and strive to create a space where you feel seen, heard, and empowered. Taking the first step can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. I would be honored to support you on your healing journey. Let’s start with a free fifteen‑minute introductory call to see how we can work together.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Addictions Counselor in Colorado. I’ve spent the last decade+ working with elite performers (athletes, high achieving students & professionals) as they navigate mental health challenges in order to perform in all aspects of their lives. I started working with elite performers in eating disorder and substance use treatment facilitates.  Eventually, I became embedded in CU Boulder's Athletic Department, overseeing the mental health of all the student-athletes. My mission is to provide a healing environment for people who are struggling and help them reach their full potential. I offer both in-person and telehealth therapy.

I work with adolescents and adults who are experiencing anxiety, depression or have been through tough times and want to heal from trauma. College specifically can be a difficult time emotionally, moving into adulthood and living on your own for the first time. Therapy can be a great way to process these changes, learn new ways to cope with stress, and get resources and support. I'd love to chat.

Hey! My name is Elena, I use she/her pronouns, and I work with rebels, rioters, and revolutionaries. My practice is one that centers and celebrates authenticity, courageous exploration, and a collaborative, therapeutic relationship. In practice, this can look like taking the time to build trust and connection, pulling from a wide variety of modalities, and curiosity and silliness when needed (which I believe is often!) I have seen many therapists feel the need to rush into “fixing”; in my work, there is no rush and there is no “fixing”. Together, we will sit in the messy experience of being human; exploring and learning from our pain while uplifting and celebrating the joys. We will co-create your therapy experience, making it into whatever you need it to be in order to feel as safe as possible. I bring an anti-oppression and decolonization lens to the work of therapy, as this helps to ensure that I do my best to mitigate the harmful impacts of these systemic issues in the healing space. I will certainly make mistakes. I hope you do, too! These are opportunities for both of us to practice collective learning, unlearning, and healing. I believe that therapy is community. We may share certain identities and there will be those we do not share, yet it remains a community. Let's be in joyous community together!

There’s no guidebook for life. It’s easy to feel like you’re falling short when you’re just trying to get through the day. Maybe you’re feeling exhausted, overwhelmed or unmotivated, but continue pushing yourself because you believe there’s no other option, all the while feeling that you’re never measuring up. It might feel like a foreign concept to slow down and listen to what you truly need in each moment, but with the right support, making this shift is possible, and it might give you the relief you need. I’ll focus on helping you learn to be kind and compassionate toward yourself so that you can start living your life from a place of “already enough,” and begin taking actions that truly support your well-being. Sometimes, learning to accept yourself as you are is the first step toward meaningful change. Together, we can explore what might be getting in the way of becoming the person you want to be. I'm here to help you learn how to embrace the person you already are to create the life you desire. If this feels like the right path for you, I’d love to explore working together.

Sharon Kocina, MA, LPC is a therapist with over 30 years of experience in helping individuals, families, and couples “go from surviving to thriving”.

If you are suffering from anxiety, trauma or depression, through my use of Brainspotting and other tools, I can help you overcome these crippling symptoms and re-engage with life. If you have survived trauma, abuse or neglect, I can help you cast off the chains of your past and live the life you desire!

My practice is about helping you connect to your most authentic self to create a more meaningful life, using a blend of somatic awareness, mindfulness practices, and compassionate guidance. As a somatic therapist, I take a body-based, trauma-informed approach that helps clients better regulate emotions and stress by developing greater mind-body awareness. If you've struggled with anxiety, depression, trauma, or just the ups and downs of life, and you've found that thinking or talking about it has not brought you sustained relief, then body-based psychotherapy might be the right fit for you. In a world where we are often told to "push through" and "tough it out" we can lose our connection to what we are feeling. When we connect to our feelings we can better recognize what we truly need, and take the steps to cultivate a life full of purpose, meaning, and fulfillment. Many of my clients are young adults navigating transitions such as starting college or careers, wanting to build healthier and more meaningful relationships, or exploring their sense of identity and purpose. Together, we’ll explore therapeutic strategies that align with your unique needs and goals. In our sessions, we can work on stress and anxiety reduction, processing trauma, developing greater self compassion and awareness, and more. Request a free 20-minute consultation to see if working together would be a fit.
