Southern accent & hospitality from an authentic "GRITS" ( Girls Raised In The South). Years of dedication to practicing ethical; yet not traditional. Offering the warmth of my version of southern hospitality. To be the change you wish to see, with a eccentric flair to create a safe space energetically & physically for therapy. The place for inquiry of curiosity. Intentional for growth, healing, and sustainability. Intention for functional relationships with self and others through self confidence. The practice of self acceptance with detail to co-creating an honest therapeutic relationship, through accountably, mindfulness, compassion. A choice to self~disclose to cultivate an experience of honestly with the trust of truth. The choice to self~disclose has the potential for honesty and trust, with no hierarchy, and learning from one another. To honor & bare witness to choose a life of freedom through the awareness of non~judgment. An opportunity to connect through trauma, the release, & to let go of limited beliefs. A conversation about self-forgiveness with a mantra of: "We are lovable even when we make mistakes". 20+ years of teaching yoga, meditation, and somatic connection. LMFT (Licensed Marriage, Family, and Child Therapist), Y12SR (Yoga 12 Step Recovery), and Freedom Coach. Long-boarder, slack-liner, snowboarder, skier, stand-up paddler, single mom, care-taker, trauma survivor, pregnancy loss, divorce, addiction recovery, learning disabilities, victim of gun violence, menopause, and narcolepsy.

My website, www.blairvaughn.com, offers information about myself, background, experience, and my approach to therapy. Therefore, please schedule the first session to see if we are a good fit.

I'm a board-certified psychiatrist specializing in child, adolescent, and adult mental health, and I'm passionate about helping people in the most effective, personalized way I can.

I believe good care starts with connection. While strong credentials matter, what matters most to me is truly listening and understanding what you're going through — then building a plan that fits your values and your goals. Care with me might involve prescribing, deprescribing, interventional treatment, therapy, or a thoughtful combination, always tailored to what will help you most.

Ramon Guitart

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 6.2 mi away • Denver, CO


Welcome! I’m Ramon, a Drama Therapist supporting children, adults, and families. I believe creative arts offer a deeper language when words aren’t enough. No artistic skills are needed; we simply use play and metaphor to explore challenges from a comfortable distance. Children process emotions through play, adults bypass the analytical mind for authentic expression, and families discover new ways of connecting. My approach is evidence-based and open-minded, providing a judgment-free space to explore your experiences at your own pace.

Español

¡Bienvenidos! Soy Ramón, dramaterapeuta. Acompaño a niños, adultos y familias usando las artes creativas como un lenguaje profundo cuando las palabras no bastan. No hace falta ser artista; usamos el juego y la metáfora para explorar desafíos con comodidad. Los niños procesan emociones jugando, los adultos conectan con su expresión auténtica y las familias descubren nuevas formas de vincularse. Mi enfoque se basa en la evidencia y en una mente abierta, ofreciendo un espacio sin juicios para explorar tus experiencias a tu propio ritmo.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with teenagers and older and I believe that the therapeutic relationship is vital to the success of therapy. I have years of experience working with children, teenagers and young adults, focusing on anxiety, depression, ADHD, and trauma. My approach is to be open-minded, compassionate, supportive and encouraging with an end goal to help you develop the coping skills or address the issue to be able to navigate life to its fullest. My goal is to challenge you while offering a non-judgmental space for you to process feelings and discover your inner self.

I earned my graduate degree in Social Work at the University of South Carolina and my undergraduate at Iowa State University in Child Adult and Family Studies and Psychology. My background includes years in settings working with at-risk youth, school social work and more recently in person at an equine therapy agency working with teenagers and adults. All of these experiences have shaped how I view mental health and how important it is to treat the whole person.

Frequently asked questions

Therapy Chair

Happy patient looking away

Find the right counselor for your family

Headway makes it easier to find family-focused support — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Family Therapist in Aurora, CO

Finding family therapists in Aurora starts with understanding what your family wants help with and what kind of support fits best. Family therapy can help with parenting conflict, adolescent struggles, blended family dynamics, communication patterns, and changes across generations. Family therapists are trained to work with the relational system, not just one person. As you compare Aurora therapists, look for bios that mention family counseling, parenting support, family systems, or experience working with children, teens, and caregivers.

Aurora has a range of therapists across the city, and virtual appointments can expand your options when travel, school schedules, or work hours make in-person sessions harder to coordinate. Family therapy may include the full family, smaller groups within the family, or individual members, depending on the goals of care. Before booking, review each therapist’s profile for appointment availability, session structure, therapy approach, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. This can help you understand how they work with families before the first session.

Therapy in Aurora can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for family therapists who are accepting new patients, review detailed bios, verify your insurance, and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before booking. You can compare therapists in Aurora, choose virtual or in-person care, and book directly when you’re ready.

If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
