I blend mindfulness-based and contemplative psychology (Naropa University) with DBT, ACT, and when you're ready, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy or psilocybin-assisted therapy, some of the most powerful tools available for lasting transformation.
Maybe your life looks successful from the outside, but inside something has shifted. A relationship ending. A career that no longer fits. A version of yourself you don't quite recognize anymore. You're not falling apart, you're being called to something deeper.
I'm Neeka Zarei, LPC and founder of Innate Healing & Integrative Therapy Center in Boulder. I specialize in women's therapy for life transitions, anxiety, depression, and trauma — supporting individuals in Boulder and Denver who are ready to stop white-knuckling through and start living with genuine clarity and peace.

Trauma and anxiety have a devastating way of overshadowing inner knowing. It can be easier to lean towards perfectionism, over-functioning, people-pleasing, and self-doubt rather than trust ourselves, our capabilities, or the unknown.
We get stuck in old ways of being and live life in a weird auto-pilot. We react to people and environments without intention. We normalize self-criticism. We objectify our bodies. We blame the past. We loop and loop, perpetuating the very habits we seek to change. Our body-mind-spirit connection is lost, as is self-love, clarity and purpose.

If you’re reading this, something in your life isn’t working the way you want it to. Maybe you feel anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck repeating the same patterns despite your best efforts. Maybe you’ve done a lot of personal growth work but still feel like something deeper hasn’t shifted.
You don’t have to navigate this alone.
I help adults move out of survival mode and into a more grounded, confident, and meaningful way of living. My clients are often high-functioning on the outside while quietly carrying stress, trauma, self-doubt, or burnout on the inside.

As a Chicano therapist I am developing a double consciousness to see the world from a decolonized perspective, along with living in a system not meant for us. Many clients carry a quiet weight, a sense that some part of you is unheard, perhaps even within yourself. I know what it's like to hold it all in until your body speaks for you. The most difficult part is asking for help, I commend you on starting your journey here and I am here to make sure that it is meaningful for you.

My approach to therapy is primarily rooted in the modalities of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Relational Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing.
I believe that the power of therapy lies in the process – in uncovering histories, identifying patterns, and finding new perspectives. I help people struggling with depression, anxiety, and life transitions by increasing insight into those struggles and learning to embrace emotions rather than avoiding or suppressing them. My hope as your therapist is that you'll leave with a strong sense of self and healing, with direction on how to be the person you want to be moving forward.

I draw from empirically-supported therapies including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ( ACT), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI).
My approach is collaborative, strength-based, and inclusive. I work with adults to reduce suffering, enhance life satisfaction, and to foster exploration, growth, and empowerment. I aim to create a warm, genuine, non-judgmental space where clients can feel safe experiencing their emotions, exploring their needs, and developing a life consistent with their goals and core values. I balance creating a supportive space with also compassionately challenging clients to identify factors interfering with their quality of life and to ultimately meet their goals. I often bring laughter and curiosity to the therapy room.

I specialize in healing through neuroscience, parts work, ACT, mindfulness, and self-compassion.
I see clients who are dealing with trauma, although it's not always obvious that past experiences are running the show. Many of my clients struggle with perfectionism, addiction, shame, boundaries, people-pleasing, self-worth, and feeling stuck. I am open and affirming of all identities and bodies, often working with communities I align with, such as queer, poly, ethical non-monogamy (ENM), and kink. I use a collaborative approach with lots of humor and raging against the machine (shame).

My therapy style uses a mix of clinical approaches, including EMDR, IFS, ACT, attachment theory, polyvagal work, somatic techniques, mindfulness, existential ideas, and the occasional nature-based metaphor.
I think of my role as your therapist like the wind that bends the willows at high elevation —
helping them grow stronger and more flexible over time. I’m here to support you in building the life you want, always taking care to move at the speed of trust. Through my work in various settings, what I’ve learned is that healing happens through genuine
connection — between you and me, between you and yourself, and in your community. I focus on collaboration and creating space for honest, sometimes challenging conversations, always with the respect and care you deserve. (I am not the kind of therapist who just listens and nods.)

Many of the people I work with are high-functioning professionals who are used to being competent and in control but want a place to examine themselves honestly. Maybe anger surprised them, a relationship decision doesn’t sit right, or they notice patterns they can’t fully explain. They aren’t looking for surface reassurance. They want thoughtful reflection, psychological depth, and a place to understand what’s driving their behavior so they can move forward with greater clarity, integrity, and choice.

If you feel overwhelmed by the state of the world, and find yourself thinking "A cloud of worry and criticism seems to follow me wherever I go. I have a decent job, most of my problems seem small compared to others, and yet that doesn't change the fact that most days I want to give up. My free time is a minefield of avoidance, distraction, and overwhelm. The things I really want to do with my life feel far away, and mustering the motivation to do something about it can feel impossible. I'm terrified that my whole life will be one long, crushing disappointment. Why does it have to be so hard?" I can help. We can do this together.

How does acceptance and commitment therapy work?
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages a person to listen to their self-talk. A person’s inner dialog can be indicative of how they treat themselves. ACT also encourages self-compassion; this can lead to a better understanding of negative thought patterns and emotional states. This understanding can then lead the individual to needed behavior change.
What are the goals of acceptance and commitment therapy?
The goal of acceptance and commitment is to expand a person’s psychological flexibility, a trait that encourages an individual to live in the present moment and to accept all their thoughts, feelings, and emotions, even ones that are difficult such as sadness and anxiety. In ACT, this acceptance is congruent with the individual’s values and beliefs.
Does acceptance and commitment therapy work for depression?
Acceptance and commitment therapy is effective for depression because it allows the individual to view their discomfort and suffering differently. Depressive feelings about relationship heartaches, for example, are a part of life. A despondent person learns to let go of their struggles and instead view their painful thoughts and feelings with compassion. This will lead the individual toward positive change.
How long are people typically in acceptance and commitment therapy?
A typical acceptance and commitment therapy session is 50 minutes long with one session per week. Treatment for common problems such as anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties can last between eight weeks to four months. However, more severe cases may require more than one session a week and/or a longer time frame for treatment.
