We'll meet at your readiness level and make meaning of the tough choices, navigate the hard edges, or forge a path through uncharted territory. I am a psychotherapist living in Colorado. I earned my MSW from Fordham University and have enjoyed previous work as a crisis therapist in hospital settings.

My primary focus is working with adolescents, families, and adults, though I have a range of experience working with people of all ages and many different demographics. In particular, I have a strong background in working with at-risk youth, kinship caregivers, and foster/adoptive families. I also have a background of working with young adults transitioning to independent living, as well as adults of all ages.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Colorado, and have been practicing as a therapist since 2022. Prior to this, I worked with youth, adults, and families in a variety of case management roles, including in schools, domestic violence shelters, shelters for those without housing, and families experiencing various systems involvement. This has given me an understanding of the many challenges life can bring, and equipped me with the tools to support you in navigating various barriers and difficulties.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), I believe that understanding and exploring one’s identity is essential to achieving mental well-being and emotional balance. Taking the step to seek therapy is a powerful decision, and I applaud you for choosing to invest in your well-being. I’ve been practicing for 5 years and specialize in working with individuals ages 12 and up, particularly those grappling with identity-based concerns.

I have over 20 yrs of experience working with lots of different types of issues from life transitions to complex trauma. I enjoy helping clients break free from old beliefs and painful patterns of behavior.

Hi, I'm Nava Narayani. I'm a holistic psychotherapist with a Master's in Clinical Mental Health and a concentration in Buddhist Psychology and Contemplative Psychotherapy from Naropa University, with additional training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), marriage & family therapy, somatic therapy, and attachment theory. I came to this work through my own healing journey including recovery from sexual trauma, anxiety, and depression, which led me to travel the world seeking wisdom from diverse healing traditions before returning to the US to pursue graduate training that honored both the science of psychology and the depth of contemplative practice. Clients often tell me they feel genuinely seen in our work together, and I believe that's because I show up with both clinical skill and lived, embodied understanding of the human experience. My style is gentle yet direct, with warmth and empowerment to encourage your growth.

My approach to counseling is rooted in the belief that empowerment, inclusivity, and meaningful connection can heal people. I often explore the question: What do you want from life that you aren't getting? You might want the ability to find peace in a hectic world, or to look inward, think, and reflect. You might crave more meaning and purpose in your daily life, a desire to be in relation to others, or the courage to grow into your true self.

In my private practice, I utilize a diverse range of therapeutic modalities tailored to meet the unique needs and goals of each cli. These modalities include Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Ketamine Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).

I have been practicing as a trauma therapist, trainer, and consultant for the last 12 years. For much of my career, I specialized in working with kids and families who have experienced complex and intergenerational trauma, and specifically focused on infant and early childhood mental health. I work frequently with conditions such as anxiety, depression, and complex PTSD, and provide support for individuals and couples of the LGBTQ+ community.

I hold a B.A. in Communications and Law from Manhattanville College and an M.S.W. from Boston College. I am also experienced in writing WPATH letters to allow both minors and adults to access gender affirming care.

I believe healing happens when we no longer carry our stories alone. I strive to create a space where you're celebrated and understood exactly as you are now. Together, we'll deconstruct stories shaped by shame to create narratives rooted in agency, authenticity and self-compassion.

As a queer, non-binary, non-monogamous therapist with lived experience of trauma, I specialize in working with queer, transgender, and non-monogamous adults (18+) navigating complex trauma (CPTSD), identity formation, depression, anxiety and neurodivergence.
