Hi, I’m Aidan! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and rediscover a sense of balance.

I specialize in working with people struggling with anxiety and depression. If you are dealing with chronic stress, persistent low mood, or difficult life transitions, I will provide a compassionate, structured, and non-judgmental space for your healing.

In our sessions, we will work collaboratively to identify the root causes of your challenges and develop practical coping strategies for lasting growth. Taking that first step toward therapy can feel daunting, but you don't have to navigate it alone.

Therapist

Virtual • Colorado


I hold a Master’s Degree in Clinical Social Work from Walden University, with a concentration in trauma-informed care. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Licensed Addiction Counselor (LAC), as well as certified in Art Therapy, Play Therapy, and Sandplay Therapy. My early career centered on supporting children and families navigating trauma, substance use, and instability, as well as individuals transitioning from incarceration and reintegrating into their communities. These experiences continue to shape my person-centered, integrative approach to care.

In my practice, I support adults and children through an individualized, holistic lens. My therapeutic philosophy draws from Person-Centered, Holistic, and Psychodynamic therapies—approaches that value empathy, self-awareness, and exploration of the connections between past and present. I believe all people have an innate capacity for growth, resilience, and healing when they are met with safety, compassion, and curiosity.

Thomas Moore

Thomas Moore

Therapist

Virtual • Colorado


I’m Thomas Moore, LPCC, a licensed professional clinical counselor providing therapy for individuals navigating anxiety, trauma, emotional overwhelm, identity development, and complex relational patterns. Many of the people I work with feel stuck in repeating cycles such as overthinking, people pleasing, emotional shutdown, intense reactions, or difficulty maintaining stable relationships even when they logically understand what they should do. My goal is to help you translate insight into real change.

My approach is structured and compassionate. I integrate evidence based methods including cognitive restructuring, emotional regulation training, interpersonal effectiveness skills, and trauma informed therapy. Sessions focus on understanding why your brain reacts the way it does and building practical tools you can actually use outside the therapy room. This is not only about talking through problems but learning how to respond differently when they show up in real life.

I work well with clients who want more than passive support and are ready to build skills, increase self awareness, and interrupt patterns that no longer serve them.

What clients should know before starting

Therapy with me is collaborative and active and you will learn strategies rather than only venting. We will work on understanding both the emotional and neurological side of your reactions. Sessions focus on present day functioning while also addressing past experiences that still affect you. I may gently challenge patterns when it supports growth while maintaining a supportive and respectful space. Progress often comes from small repeated changes rather than sudden breakthroughs.

If you are looking for therapy that combines validation with practical change, we will likely work well together.

Stacia McNeely

Stacia McNeely

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person • Parker, CO


I’m a psychiatric nurse practitioner who works from the belief that people are not broken—and that many of the struggles we call “mental illness” make sense when we look at trauma, context, and lived experience. I’m especially attuned to the ways mental health systems, stigma, and labels can unintentionally cause harm, and I aim to practice in a way that feels respectful, collaborative, and deeply human.

My approach is unconventional and trauma-informed, influenced by perspectives like those of Gabor Maté, which emphasize compassion, curiosity, and understanding symptoms as meaningful responses rather than defects. I do not believe in rushing to pathologize the human experience. As Joni Mitchell once reflected about depression, sometimes what we’re feeling is not an illness to be fixed, but a signal—an honest response to pain, loss, or a world that has not been kind.

What is your approach to therapy?

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, parent coach, and former educator with 36 years of experience helping children, teens, parents, couples, and families move from conflict and overwhelm to greater calm, confidence, and connection.

I specialize in working with families navigating autism, ADHD, learning disabilities, anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, school challenges, and family conflict. I also help parents reduce daily power struggles, improve communication, and respond with greater confidence and consistency.

I believe lasting change happens by looking at the whole picture—not just the symptoms. My work considers the child, the parent, the family system, and the school environment to identify the patterns that keep families stuck. Together, we develop practical, individualized strategies that create meaningful, lasting change.

What can clients expect from their first session with you?

My goal in our first session is to help you feel comfortable, heard, and supported. We'll talk about what's bringing you in, explore the challenges you're facing, and identify what's keeping you or your family feeling stuck.

There is no pressure to have everything figured out. We'll move at a pace that feels right for you. Together, we'll begin identifying patterns, clarify your goals, and create practical next steps that feel realistic and manageable.

Whether you're seeking support for yourself, your child, your relationship, or your family, you'll leave our first session with a better understanding of what's happening and a clear direction for moving forward.

You might look like you have it together from the outside: steady job, functioning relationships, managing the day to day. But inside you're running on fumes, and you're tired of just pushing through. I work with young adults, college students, and adults navigating anxiety, stress, life transitions, and the frustration of feeling stuck without knowing why. I'm also an Army veteran, and I bring firsthand experience of what pressure, resilience, and major transitions actually demand. If faith is part of how you make sense of life, it's welcome here. If it's not, that's fine too. Clients often tell me I'm surprisingly easy to talk to.
