Hi, I'm Haley! I work with adults and teens who are navigating trauma, anxiety, grief, stress, and relationship concerns. You may be processing difficult childhood or family experiences, feeling overwhelmed by your emotions, or struggling to feel connected to yourself and the people you love. I also support individuals through grief, loss, and major life transitions, as well as teens and young adults working through trauma, identity, and relationships. Together, we can make sense of what you’ve been carrying, and begin building the understanding, coping skills, and connection you need to move forward. I believe people are more than what has happened to them, their symptoms, or their diagnoses, and I strive to understand each client as a whole person—including their experiences, relationships, emotions, strengths, and the ways they have learned to navigate the world.

Shankar Nandakumar

Shankar Nandakumar

Psychiatrist

Virtual • Denver, CO


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.

I work with adults, seniors and adolescents who are experiencing many different kinds of

challenges. These can include anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, life transitions,

work stress, and trauma. My approach is collaborative, and I try to create an environment

where people feel comfortable talking about what is happening in their lives.

I listen carefully and seek to understand each client’s unique circumstances.

Helping people better understand themselves remains at the center of my approach.

This can include recognizing patterns and finding more effective ways of handling the

difficulties they face.

Finding the right therapist matters, and I understand that reaching out is often the hardest step. I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor for more than 20 years, working with adolescents, adults, and seniors across a wide range of life challenges. I am EMDR-certified and trained in a broad range of approaches because no two people are the same, and neither are their needs. I stay committed to ongoing training because therapy and people both continue to evolve. Past clients have appreciated my flexible, engaging, and non-judgmental style. My goal is to get to know you and work with you exactly where you are.

My name is Celeste and I'm an LPC in CO. I have always wanted to be a person that could have a positive impact on someone’s life. A person they could talk to with no judgment but instead empathize with them in a safe environment. Sometimes all that is needed is someone to actually hear what they are saying. I enjoy working with people to help them learn how to understand feelings and where they come from. To help them to communicate effectively, express themselves fully, and achieve their individual goals.
