Hi, I’m Sara, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Boulder with a Master of Social Work from NYU. I work with adults who are healing from trauma, going through big life changes, or asking “wait, who am I actually?” My approach is collaborative, warm, and authentic, because healing doesn’t have to be basic. My goal is to help you reconnect with yourself and feel more at home in your life and your relationships.

Kelly Barrett

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 27 mi away • Castle Rock, CO


I offer virtual or in-person therapy sessions in Castle Rock, Colorado. I know what it's like to struggle with depression, addiction, and narcissistic abuse. I became a therapist and an energy healer after going through my own "dark night of the soul." Many clients tell me that they relate to me because I have been though similar experiences and know what it's like to push through depression, and overcome addiction and trauma. My goal isn't to help you merely mask symptoms, but to help you navigate through them while healing the underlying roots, staying grounded, and discovering your most authentic self and a life of fulfillment and thriving.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 24 mi away • Boulder, CO


Are you feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you? Maybe anxiety or OCD is keeping you from living your life in the way that you would most enjoy. Or perhaps you are challenged by losses or life transitions which are difficult to face alone. Having a safe place to express your thoughts and feelings can make a difference.

I became a therapist after seeing the benefits of counseling and art therapy on both personal and professional levels. I’m a licensed professional counselor since 2011 and a board certified art therapist since 2022. I hold a Master’s degree in Transpersonal Counseling Psychology with a concentration in Art Therapy. In addition to my degree, also have significant training in a variety of evidence based treatments, including ERP, CPT, Motivational Interviewing, CAMS and ACT.

My experiences with hospice patients and caregivers, seniors, people in addiction recovery, people in crisis, people struggling with anxiety, trauma, life transitions, cultural and social justice concerns, have inspired me to offer therapy in private practice. In my spare time, I love to cook, sing, hike, and make art.

Hi there, I’m Brianna. I’m deeply passionate about working with trauma as well as the sacred intersectionality of holding multiple identities. I’m a true believer in our innate capacity to heal and find a soul-ful, fulfilling life.
