I started Looking Glass Mental Health to support individuals challenged by how they see themselves, others, and the world. As a dual-trained Family and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I care for individuals with all types of mental health concerns. Check out my website for detailed information and to Book an Appointment.

I specialize in working with anxiety and OCD. Students that I work with report feeling more confident, free from fear, and understanding themselves better through our work together. Navigating the transition to college alongside mental health challenges can be difficult, and I'm here to support you along the way. Reach out now and we can chat to determine if we're a good fit!

At Whole Connection we take Medicaid and work on a sliding scale. We provide high quality, accessible psychotherapy to Boulder County. Our team is made up of skilled therapists who provide individual, group, and family psychotherapy. In addition to outpatient therapy we offer a Trauma Recovery and Care program. Our Trauma Recovery and Care program is designed for individuals who are struggling to take control of their lives because they feel dictated by feelings that are deeply connected to their past. If you have been diagnosed with PTSD or you suspect that PTSD is underlying your current symptoms, this could be for you. We believe that all people should have access to Therapy, by clinicians and interns who are continually trained and educated and who are also taken care of (not overworked). In doing so we try and meet the needs of those of the community who come to see us by either sliding our fees or accepting medicaid insurance. Lastly we aim to provide free and affordable trainings for the larger community and clinicians to continue to learn and grow. We also take Victim's Compensation.

I work with young adults and adults individually and in groups. I am currently only accept new clients for the groups I facilitate.

I'm a clinical psychologist providing individual therapy for adults and adolescents. If you're here, then you're probably looking for a change. Life can be unpredictable, complicated, and demanding. Low self-esteem, unpleasant moods, challenging relationships, and academic/professional stressors can be difficult to navigate alone. Together we can determine what a change may look like for you and develop strategies for moving towards that change. I view therapy as a collaborative process -- a joint effort towards feeling more connected, satisfied, and adaptable. I work with professionals, students, artists, musicians, parents, and many other individuals.

Are you feeling anxious, stressed, or disconnected? Are you trying to move forward in your life or your relationships and just can't seem to get where you want to be? Are you looking for someone to listen and hold space for your experiences, a gentle guide on your journey through lasting and sustained healing? I believe in a compassionate, collaborative approach to therapy. I empower clients to understand what is going on in their minds and bodies, incorporating elements of mindfulness, parts work, and experiential therapy to explore, move, and make tangible the confusing emotional experiences that can leave us feeling scattered or disconnected. You absolutely have the power and the strength to make the changes you want to see for yourself in life. Let's get there together!

I’m here to support clients as they find their way to more vitality, joy, balance, meaningfulness, sense of belonging, and resilience. I view therapy as a space where these qualities can be brought to life, with gentleness and understanding. Rumi says, “As you start to walk on the way, the way appears.”

I work with the body and the nervous system to integrate difficult experiences and regulate ourselves from the bottom up. I love to work with the inner critic (aka self-criticism), the inner child (aka reactivity), and trauma (big and small). I am passionate about helping people get to know themselves, not just find a quick fix for symptoms.

I work best with students and young adults seeking therapy that is real, human, and grounded — not scripted or sanitized. Many of the people I work with are dealing with grief, loss, or a major shift in their lives. That loss might be the death of someone important, the end of a relationship, or a quieter kind of grief — losing a sense of direction, identity, or meaning. You don’t have to be in crisis to reach out. Many clients I work with are functioning on the outside while feeling disconnected, restless, or overwhelmed underneath. I grew up in the Bronx and came to this work through a mix of lived experience, creative work, and clinical training. I listen closely, speak honestly, and work with you at a pace that actually feels human.

I have 30 years of working with adolescents and young adults. My approach to therapy is founded in the value of the therapeutic relationship. It is very important my clients feel heard and validated with a sense of security as they explore their experiences of both suffering and success. I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), an evidenced based psychotherapy treatment to help improve communication with others, reduce fears and phobias, interrupt thoughts that lead to addictive or other self-destructive behaviors, improve self esteem and change negative thought patterns. I have extensive experience working with diverse populations in psychiatric hospitals, treatment programs, the criminal justice system, young adult transitional programs, family systems and private practice.

I am a board-certified psychiatrist in private practice. I work mainly through insight-oriented psychotherapy, but I also offer diagnostic evaluations and prescribing services. Patients see me for a variety of concerns around self-esteem, trauma, attachment, dependency, boundaries, self-criticism, and childhood abuse/neglect. These issues may lead to shame, guilt, anxiety, irritability, mood swings, perfectionism, self-loathing, or repeated conflicts with family, colleagues, or romantic partners. Therapy is a chance to think carefully together about your past and present experiences to deepen your insight into your situation. As we come to understand your inner world, I hope you will gradually notice a greater sense of flexibility, freedom, and openness to life's many joys and challenges. As a psychiatrist, I am happy to help with diagnostic clarification and medical treatment of most general psychiatric conditions including mood and anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, ADHD, and others. While medications alone often fail to address the deeper conflicts and traumas that cause our symptoms, a thoughtful approach to prescribing can help build a foundation for the personal work that leads to lasting change. I have special experience working with university students and early career professionals in medicine, academia, law, tech, and the arts. I enjoy working with individuals from diverse backgrounds, and I welcome and affirm those who may identify as LGBTQIA+ or neurodivergent.

Genuine. Honest. Compassionate. I focus on helping adult clients overcome anxiety, phobias, and depression with cognitive behavioral therapy. Hello, I'm Rachel.

As your psychologist, I will affirm your strengths—you have more than you realize!—and give you the tools to examine what's helping you, what's not, and how to change it. I am a licensed psychologist, practicing cognitive behavioral therapy to help people struggling with anxiety, phobias, and depression. I tailor evidence-based practices to each of my clients' specific needs. Prior to starting my private practice, I worked with adults in community mental health, youth in correctional facilities, and older adults in long-term care. I earned my PsyD from the University of Denver in 2008. I look forward to meeting you and working together.

Are you feeling adrift in life's constant motion? Do you find yourself yearning for a sense of grounding and self-compassion amidst the chaos? I am a compassionate therapist who is dedicated to helping individuals achieve growth and self-compassion. In my therapeutic approach, I blend cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused therapy with arts based therapeutic practices and somatic techniques. My aim is to guide you in tapping into your inner wisdom—to help you truly feel, process, and connect on a profound level. I believe that the therapeutic bond is essential in fostering growth and change. I am passionate about helping individuals navigate through challenging life situations and achieve their goals. My experience includes working with individuals who struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship issues. I am committed to creating a safe and non-judgmental space where individuals can explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Join me on a journey of self-discovery and transformation, where creativity and psychology converge to light your path forward.

I partner with clients to navigate life transitions, addressing challenges such as grief, loss, and anxiety. As an adept practitioner of EMDR therapy, I employ an eclectic and mindful approach to help individuals overcome trauma and align their lives with their values. Specializing as a relationship expert, I offer guidance to individuals and couples, focusing on enhancing communication skills and nurturing secure functioning relationships. Committed to LGBTQIA+ support, I maintain a sex-positive and body-positive stance, recognizing the transformative and healing potential inherent in each individual.
