Nava Narayani

Nava Narayani

Therapist

Virtual • Wheat Ridge, CO


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.

Sarah Rasmussen

Therapist

Virtual • Colorado


I believe therapy is most effective when it's rooted in collaboration and connection. The therapeutic relationship is the foundation of meaningful change, and I work to create a space where clients feel genuinely heard, respected, and supported as full partners in the process. Over the course of my career, I've had the privilege of working in both community-based organizations and private practice — experiences that have shaped a flexible, grounded perspective on how people heal and grow. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and earned my Master of Social Work degree from Florida State University. Outside of formal training, I'm committed to continued learning so that I can show up for every client with curiosity, presence, and care.

Narlin Smith

Narlin Smith

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Colorado


Hello and welcome! I am a Master's level dual board certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. Medication management is my specialty, and supportive therapy is part of every visit. I have experience with veterans, adults with developmental and intellectual disabilities, TBI, severe and persistent mental illness, pregnant women, transient/low income populations, Indian Health Services, geriatrics, trauma, and LGBTQIA2S+ patients.

I am a person who understands the stress that comes with multitasking life's many responsibilities including parenting, work, a spouse, women's health, and the many other hats we sometimes wear. I know the familiar strain of working in the medical field, providing care for others while delicately balancing self care. I can appreciate the layers of complexity of being multicultural. I know the burden of military life with a military spouse (now retired!) and the impact of deployments on families, loss included. I know the heaviness of caring for a family member with special needs, and am well versed in many things life may throw our way. I would be honored to support you as you navigate the tougher paths in your life.

“How we relate to whatever we're experiencing is even more important than the experience itself " -Bruce Tift

I believe we all have a natural impulse towards evolution and health. Through training and discipline we can greatly accelerate this process.

Survival strategies needed in childhood, arising from our intelligence, are no longer appropriate and can cause unnecessary suffering. These outdated approaches are primarily unconscious. I provide a safe non judgmental space to get to know your patterns with an attitude of kindness. This awareness can give you the freedom to choose the direction you want instead of being driven by historical conditioning.
