Jewish Therapists in Boulder, CO
As a queer, Jewish woman and yoga teacher, I bring an awareness of intergenerational trauma, identity and embodiment into the therapy room.
Do you find yourself taking on the emotions of the people in your life while receiving little emotional care in return? Your sensitivity is a gift that requires care and support. I work primarily with highly sensitive women who feel overwhelmed and stuck in patterns they understand intellectually but struggle to shift. You may appear high functioning to others while feeling anxiety, self-criticism, or disconnection when alone. Many of the clients I work with have histories of trauma, C-PTSD, and emotionally unsafe relationships. I offer a therapy space that feels thoughtful, compassionate, and grounding.

Health comes from the confidence of knowing ourselves deeply and caring for ourselves well. My practice supports you to learn and befriend everything inside you, and grow the kind inner congruence to take meaningful action to live the way you long to. I have not met a single individual who does not contain a vibrant inner world of wisdom and well-being. Sometimes we just need support to learn how bravely to access it. Clients tell me that our work together exposes them to the reality of companioning and caring for themselves and others in entirely new ways and re-writing long-held narratives of pain, shame, and fear of the unknown.

Reaching out can be insanely difficult and vulnerable at times, I get it. Come in, have some tea, see if the connection feels right for you. I'm here to offer my heart, love, guidance, resources and a safe cozy space for sharing and moving through what may be stuck or needing extra attention. I am here to wade through the gunk with you and also to help you see through and beyond it. At times that means I might direct and re-direct you away from the story, away from the chatter and the thoughts and into your body, connecting with your nervous system, with your sensations, with your authentic self.

I work with all parts of you who are able to show up, in order to better understand where big (and sometimes lonely and scary) emotions, thought patterns, and behaviors are coming from and how to move forward with these. I work with highly-motivated adults who wish to dig deep and heal.

Challenges are essential to growth. We all face challenges. The various challenges, crises, traumas we all inevitably encounter can create anxiety, depression, and disconnection. Unfortunately, labels and diagnoses can stop you from seeing that you are okay. As you are. Your felt experiences of hurt, when processed deeply, actually lead to self-discovery. Seeking help doesn’t mean that anything is necessarily wrong. In fact, expertise can guide you through these moments safely. Through somatic healing therapy, individuals and couples will find inner strength to start anew.

We live in an epidemic of loneliness - which heavily impacts the quality of our living and can put considerable pressures on our connections. I am passionate about working with people searching - for meaning, growth, skills, and understanding. Therapy can be a powerful way to explore what you really want for your life and integrate those hopes into change. Whether relational or individual counseling, I love facilitating reflection, communication, and clarity. Collaboratively we can guide you to identifying the life, relationships, boundaries, and purpose you deserve.

Grief profoundly alters how you experience yourself, your relationships, and the world around you. Maybe you're mourning the death of someone you love, the impact of a life-changing diagnosis, or a version of life you expected and no longer recognize. If you feel stuck, confused, or simply trying to survive day by day, you’re not alone. I specialize in grief, loss, and bereavement. I believe I can support you in finding sturdier ground and healthier ways of living with loss.

Have you been feeling sad or lonely, overwhelmed with worry or self-doubt, depleted, stressed, or burned out? Maybe you feel disconnected from others, yourself, or even your own emotions.

Are you facing a significant life transition or stress in relationships, work, parenting, relocation, aging, medical issues, etc.? Are your tried-and-true ways of coping no longer working?

The relationship with your therapist is one of the most important catalysts for change. It should emphasize your sense of safety, feeling understood, and hopefulness that you can seek change together. My approach to psychotherapy emphasizes this powerful tool and together, we can work to uncover what leads your relationships to continually disappoint, your career to disatisfy you, for happiness, love, or ease to seem out of reach. I work collaboratively with individuals to identify treatment goals, the focus and pace of our work and to incorporate the unique culture and background each person brings.

My objective is to empower people to find answers within themselves. Sometimes this is most accessible by relating to another person one on one through words; sometimes it is best achieved by having transformative experiences in group settings, and sometimes through the medium of art and music. Each individual and the story of their lives calls for different modes of connection and development in the process of achieving integration and wholeness.

You may look like you’re holding everything together on the outside, yet inside feel anxious, overwhelmed, grieving, or quietly exhausted from carrying so much alone. Perhaps you’re navigating trauma, loss, relationship issues, life transitions, or feeling disconnected from yourself. Therapy can be a place to slow down, breathe, and begin again.
I’m Shanti, a licensed psychotherapist, dance movement therapist, and chemical dependency clinician with over 24 years of experience supporting healing and life transitions. I offer a warm, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where we can gently explore what you’ve been through together.

Support for individuals seeking compassionate, evidence-informed therapy that gently turns awareness into secure, meaningful connection—with yourself and in your relationships. If you’re feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, or disconnected from others, your emotions, or your inner sense of self, you’re not alone. Many people hold old wounds or feel pressure to stay strong without receiving the care they deserve. If past hurt, ongoing anxiety, or a longing for closeness feels heavy, you’re not broken—you’re responding to pain, and that response makes sense. You deserve care that helps you feel seen, supported, and more at ease.

You’ve been around the block. You’ve done a lot of work, and something inside you knows you’re ready for your next evolution. Not a quick fix, not another insight—but a deeper kind of integration. You feel capable and functional, yet sense there’s more. Perhaps you’re navigating transitions, loss, or long-standing relational and nervous system patterns, exploring ancestral trauma, seeking deeper somatic healing, or interested in medicinal and hands-on nervous system support. Many I work with are therapists, healers, creatives, and changemakers—ready to step more fully into their lives with curiosity, care, and support.

You’re doing your best to manage, but something still feels stuck. Whether it’s anxiety, depression, painful past experiences, relationship struggles, or neurodivergence, these challenges can feel overwhelming. You’re tired of just getting by and want relief, clarity, and a deeper sense of purpose and stability. Through therapy, we'll explore how past experiences shape present dynamics and create space for decisions rooted in intentionality. You’re not interested in surface-level fixes—you’re ready to understand yourself more deeply, shift long-standing patterns, and feel more grounded and connected in your life and relationships.

I believe in the innate wisdom of the body and our natural desire as humans to move towards wholeness and wellness. Sometimes we need someone to witness us in the messy, unpredictable shit storm and be with us along the way. Maybe you are in a major life transition, feeling stuck in patterns that are no longer serving you, or consumed by emotional overwhelm. I'm here to help.
As a clinically trained transpersonal psychotherapist, I offer mindfulness & somatically oriented interventions, gestalt/parts work, inner child wound healing, & nervous system support to help you return to your Self.

My practice is about helping you connect to your most authentic self to create a more vibrant life. If you're struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or just the ups and downs of life, and you've found that thinking or talking about it has not brought you sustained relief, then body-based psychotherapy might be perfect for you. In a world where we are increasingly told to "push through" and "tough it out" we can lose our connection to what we are feeling. When we connect to our feelings we can better recognize what we truly need, and take the steps to cultivate a life full of purpose, meaning, and fulfillment.

Most people come to see me to develop areas of their lives such as: personal and spiritual growth; relationships; finding meaning; working through the impact of family and personal histories; health, confidence, and wellbeing; fresh directions; clarity; greater life engagement; fulfillment; parenting; workplace issues; communication; and moving past feeling ‘stuck’. Through our gentle work and exploration you will begin to untangle the internal and external knots that bind you and reconnect with your core being. Our work becomes the catalyst for increased personal awareness and deeply sought growth, forward movement and fulfillment.

Jewish Therapists
Why is it important for a therapist to be culturally sensitive?
Therapists and clients don’t need to share the same background to be able to work together, but a therapist whose training includes a focus on cultural competence may be better able to form a therapeutic bond with individuals from a range of backgrounds, as they will have experience tailoring their approach to each client—and will be prepared to acknowledge and consider the effects of cultural forces, such as discrimination, that may contribute to that client’s concerns. With a professional who has such training, a client should feel comfortable discussing sensitive issues without feeling that they need to self-censor.
How can I recognize an effective Jewish therapist?
As with members of any religious or ethnic group, just because two people happen to be Jewish does not guarantee that they will share the same values, knowledge, or experiences. A Jewish client seeking a therapist who shares their cultural identity, or for whom it’s important that a therapist share their religious beliefs, may want to discuss a professional’s Jewish background with them before beginning therapy. For someone who seeks justification for major life changes in their religious tradition, or in biblical writings, finding a therapist who is comfortable framing guidance in that context may be especially valuable.
Would a Jewish therapist have unique training?
No, but they should have the same training and certification as any other mental health professional, as well as experience with a range of evidence-based techniques such as cognitive-behavioral therapy or mindfulness-based therapy. A therapist with this type of experience should be able to help any client feel comfortable and safe, which is essential for a therapeutic alliance. Once this is established, a potential client may want to find out more about the therapist’s Jewish background.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience with Jewish clients?
A client can directly ask a therapist if they have extensive experience working with Jewish clients and if so, whether these individuals sought counseling for faith-related issues or marital or familial issues in which their Jewish background was a factor. A client may also wish to ask a potential therapist whether they incorporate Jewish teachings and values into their own professional work.
Who is included in Psychology Today’s directory of Jewish therapists?
The directory of Jewish therapists includes professionals who have opted to share their cultural background on their profiles. However, not all therapists choose to disclose their background, and they may not appear in search results for this reason.The directory also shows therapists who indicate that they have extensive experience working with Jewish clients and/or communities.
