Parents with children who have behavioral problems are often exhausted and at the end of their rope.
My method of child and family treatment is PCIT a live-coaching model where parents are taught skills and coached while they play with their children. Dr. Gottman informs my treatment with couples and I focus on solutions and teaching concrete skills for coping with adults and teens.

I work with children and adults using play therapy and inner child work to support healing, expression, and emotional regulation.
My practice with clients is grounded in the belief that therapy is a relational and whole-person process. I describe my presence, in life and the therapy room, as chaotic zen: alive with curiosity and spontaneity, while rooted in introspection and mindfulness. I offer a safe space where clients can explore their connection to themselves, others, and the world. My work blends mindfulness, somatic awareness, and creativity to help clients reconnect with themselves, regulate their nervous systems, and build deeper self-trust.

Boulder, CO 80301
Boulder puts a lot of pressure on kids to be exceptional — and on parents to raise them that way.
My approach is simple: I build real relationships first. Most teens have already been told what to do. What they need is someone who actually listens — and a safe place to figure out who they are without the comparison game destroying them in the process.

3) Parents, to address family dynamics with children, including blended and adoptive families (unlike traditional family therapy involving the entire family, my approach engages with parents as a consultant and coach).
I’m deeply curious about you and happy to share whatever I have learned about the human mind and attachment psychology. I'm cynical but idealistic; thoughtful and reflective but also irreverent, down-to-earth, and always up for a joke. I try to balance abstraction with pragmatism, and I’m also curious, open-minded, and forthcoming about sex and sexuality.

You might feel stuck in your relationship, overwhelmed by anxiety, or like you know you need to grow but aren’t sure how to actually do that. Maybe you’ve tried therapy before and it didn’t quite click, or you tend to push things down and keep going until it all feels like too much.

Before entering the counseling field, I worked extensively in roles serving women and children, which deepened my passion for supporting people through life’s challenges and transitions.
My counseling style is warm, relational, and grounded in the belief that each person has an inherent capacity for healing, resilience, and wholeness. I aim to co-create a space where clients feel seen, supported, and empowered to explore their patterns, rediscover choice, and move toward greater freedom, authenticity, and connection in their lives.

Katowitz Jeff
Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT
Boulder, CO 80302
I will often utilize and draw from personal life experiences in these areas to make a positive connection with children and youth.
My ideal clients are those who are experiencing difficulties with blended family issues, adolescent development, trauma, grief and loss, separation and divorce. My role as a therapist is to facilitate a process of healing by partnering with each client. I believe it is essential to listen carefully to an individual, couple or family and develop a partnership that combines my training and experience as a practitioner with each persons unique capacity for healing and growth. Most importantly, the objective of intervention and caring is promoting the family's ability to support the passions and interests that exist in each individual.

I am an Ackerman trained family therapist and graduate of NYU, practicing individual, family, couple, and support group psychotherapy. I specialize in relationships, intimacy, illness, trauma, and loss. My therapeutic work w/clients focuses on exploring how family, religion, and cultures of origin influence how one learns to adapt in the world, both independently and when exploring new areas of intimacy and connection. I believe in the importance of my own self-awareness, acknowledging that the work in understanding one’s relationship to privilege regarding ethnicity, color, and other intersectional identities are a lifelong study.
