ADHD therapists and psychiatrists in Woodland Park, CO

Please feel free to call me Ian or Dr. Ian! I’m a clinical psychologist with over 20 years of experience, of Scottish and Sri Lankan descent, and a proud Fellow of the American Psychological Association. I especially love helping people move through anxiety, chronic pain, and depression. For over 40 years I’ve personally used mind body practices like meditation to transcend my own chronic pain and anxiety, and it would be my joy to help you find that same freedom and peace, even in the hardest moments.

When people begin therapy, they're often carrying more than anxiety, trauma, or relationship struggles, they're carrying years of trying to make sense of experiences that have shaped how they see themselves and the world. My goal isn't simply to help you feel better; it's to help you understand yourself differently. I believe the therapeutic relationship is the most important part of the healing process. While I draw from several evidence-based approaches, I prioritize connection over modality. Research consistently shows that the relationship between therapist and client is one of the strongest predictors of successful outcomes.

I strive to create a space where you feel genuinely known, challenged, and supported. Whether you're navigating trauma, anxiety, substance use, grief, relationship difficulties, perfectionism, or a major life transition, we'll work together to understand not only what is happening, but why.

My hope is that therapy helps you move away from shame and self-criticism and toward greater self-awareness, self-compassion, and a life that feels aligned with your values.

Neurodiversity-affirming therapy views neurological differences- like Autism/ADHD—as natural variations rather than disorders that need to be "fixed." Instead of focusing on making people appear normal, it helps clients understand their unique strengths & challenges, reduce shame, & develop self-advocacy to live authentic lives. I also provide EMDR and am training in psychedelic-assisted therapy.

You are not your disorder or your symptoms. You are a wonderfully complex human with painful wounds and awe-inspiring strengths - much like the rest of us. We can work together to remove the layers of armor, defenses, ineffective coping strategies, and scar tissue to find the person underneath - the person you are meant to be. Together, we can help you thrive with happiness and meaning despite an often difficult world. My practice is sex positive, culturally sensitive, and LGBTQ+ affirming. I honor all the ways we choose to live our lives. I look forward to meeting you, fellow human.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor for 20+ years I have gained a lot of experience to draw upon. I understand that seeking help can be one of the hardest things to do, so good job on acknowledging that talking to someone could be helpful.

Education and Training:

Master’s in counseling psychology, Colorado Licensure, numerous certifications and training in various mental health skills and approaches

Therapy and people continue to change and evolve. In addition to my educational degrees, I get additional frequent training to continue developing my skills and be prepared for those ongoing changes and challenges.

I am a neurodiversity-affirming, trauma-informed therapist who specializes in working with children, teens, and families. I have extensive experience supporting clients with autism, adhd, anxiety, big emotions, and challenging behaviors. I also enjoy providing parent support and coaching.

As a parent of 2 neurodivergent children, I bring both professional expertise and lived empathy to my work. I offer telehealth (primary) in-home, and community-based sessions so I can meet clients where they feel most comfortable.

Many of the people I work with are high-functioning by every external measure — capable, driven, the one others lean on — while privately carrying anxiety, burnout, shame, or a quiet sense of disconnection from themselves or the people they love. If that's you, you don't need to be told to slow down. You need someone who can help you understand the patterns underneath it and actually change them.

I'm a licensed psychologist with a Ph.D., working with adults and couples. My style is warm and direct: I'll listen closely, and I'll also tell you what I'm seeing. The aim is lasting change — understanding what's been driving the pattern so you can do something different, rather than just managing symptoms.

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.

If you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or constantly on edge, your nervous system may be working overtime - not because you're doing something wrong, but because it's trying to protect you. Together, we'll make sense of what's happening beneath the surface and build practical strategies to help you reconnect with yourself and your sense of agency.
