I began my career as a Fulbright Scholar, conducting research on traditional medicine in Sochi, Russia. I presented my work at the United States Embassy in Moscow, highlighting cross-cultural perspectives in healthcare and integrative practice.

After completing my grant, I attended New York University (NYU). I then completed a residency at M.D. Anderson Hospital in Houston, Texas. I went on to earn my doctorate from the University of San Diego, California, where I focused on digital telehealth treatment for psychiatric care.

I am passionate about working with Veterans and individuals experiencing Depression, Anxiety, and Mood Disorders. In 2023, I completed CIIS training in psychedelic-assisted therapy. In 2025, I was among the first providers in Colorado and in the country to become licensed as a psilocybin facilitator.

I’m Stephen, a Licensed Professional Counselor originally from New York City, now in private practice after several years working with youth and adults in the justice system in Colorado. I specialize in helping teens and adults who are dealing with behavioral issues, anxiety, trauma, anger, and substance use. Outside the therapy room, I’m very active. I love beach volleyball, yoga, running, and calisthenics, all of which inform my strong beliefs about the mind-body connection.

Many of the people I work with are going through some kind of transition.

Sometimes that looks like anxiety that’s getting harder to manage, feeling stuck in the same patterns, or navigating changes in relationships, identity, or life direction. Other times it’s grief, stress, or a sense that something just isn’t working the way it used to.

You might find yourself overthinking, shutting down, or reacting in ways that don’t quite make sense, even to you. You may understand things logically, but still feel stuck emotionally.

My background is in clinical mental health counseling, and my work is grounded in approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). I also have advanced training in working with relationship dynamics, which often show up even in individual therapy.

Before becoming a therapist, I worked as a journalist. That still shapes how I work today. I pay close attention, listen for patterns, and help you make sense of your story in a way that feels clear, grounded, and meaningful.

I completed my Masters degree in Transpersonal Counseling Psychology with an emphasis in Art Therapy in 2015. Since then I have become passionate about using Internal Family Systems therapy both personally and professionally. I completed Level 1 in 2024 and I love combining IFS, art therapy and mindfulness in a compassionate approach to manage mental health and deepen self awareness and self expression.

Are you overwhelmed by the stress and chaos life can bring and don't know where to start? Maybe your alcohol or drug use is negatively impacting your life. Are you wanting support for recent or past trauma? Maybe, you simply want to become a better version of yourself and want someone to help guide you. My name is Chelsea and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Licensed Addiction Counselor (LAC) in the state of Colorado.

My experience includes working at a domestic violence shelter, a college counseling center, a county jail, and outpatient treatment center. I recently helped create an Intensive Outpatient Program for Substance Use Disorders, the highest level of care in Southwest Colorado. My top treatment interests include Drug and Alcohol Abuse or Substance Use Disorders, Anxiety, Depression, ADD & ADHD, Trauma & PTSD, life transitions, work & school stress, and burnout.

Life presents us with many challenges, and sometimes we may feel like we're moving backward instead of forward. It's at these moments that we define our next steps. Whether you're navigating parenting, processing trauma, or grappling with difficult questions, a holistic approach can support you internally and externally, nurturing your mind, body, and spirit. Remember, well-being is true wealth, and I encourage anyone seeking therapy to be motivated and ready to actively participate in their healing.

My areas of specialization include ADHD, trauma, depression, and anxiety, with a primary focus on adult populations. In addition to my clinical expertise, I also have experience working with court-ordered referrals in forensic settings. To inform treatment and identify areas for growth, I frequently utilize psychological assessments.

I have 12+ years of clinical experience with outpatient/inpatient clients, crisis work, and supervising other therapists. Working with adults clients around trauma, self-exploration, life transitions, chronic illness, spiritual or existential issues, and grief/loss. I bring a sense of humor and an easy, informal approach to this deep and meaningful work.

I moved to Colorado in 2010 to continue my quest for helping others. Many years ago, someone helped me and I having been giving back for more than 20+ years.
