My ideal client, whether it's a child, teen, family or a parent; seeks to feel heard, seen, and understood while navigating life's challenges.

The days are blurring together. There’s a pressure in your chest that won’t go away. It’s hard to breathe because you are so overwhelmed. You see everything that’s not working but feel out of control. Distracting yourself with friends, alcohol, exercise, etc. used to work. Now, you’re stuck at home, unable to distract yourself for long. You hate who you are. Up to this point, you were surviving, but you want more. You think, “if only I wasn’t so sensitive.” Your whole life you’ve felt small, judged, shamed. There has to be more. You don’t want to be that person anymore, and you need help. You need someone to see the real you.

Navigating life's transitions? Grief, anxiety, burnout, relationship challenges, identity exploration, career changes, trauma recovery, or major life decisions. Many of my clients feel "stuck," disconnected from themselves, or ready for meaningful change. I enjoy supporting people relocating, exploring gender or cultural identity, caregivers, helping professionals, and those seeking personal growth. Whether you're in crisis or simply sensing that life is asking something new of you, therapy can offer a place to reconnect with yourself and move forward.

Marriage & Family Therapist, EdD, LMFT, LPC
1 Endorsed
Boulder, CO 80303
I'm Maddie, and I specialize in helping teenagers, young adults, and their parents through challenges. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Professional Counselor, and Doctor of Educational Leadership with over 15 years of experience—and as a mom of four myself—I understand both sides of the teen struggle. I spent years as a school counselor, so I deeply understand the academic pressure, social media stress, and identity questions today's teens face. And as a parent, navigating the chaos of raising teenagers? I get what you're going through.

Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW
Boulder, CO 80303
You’re thoughtful, self-aware, and often the one others rely on—but internally, something feels off. Maybe you’re struggling with anxiety or emotional overwhelm, or perhaps you feel disconnected from yourself or uncertain about what you truly want. You may have already done some personal growth work, yet still find yourself caught in familiar patterns—overthinking, people-pleasing, or wondering why you keep ending up in the same place.

Boulder, CO 80303
You have tried talk therapy and it feels as though it is not moving the way it used to. Perhaps you are seeking support or a pathway to self discovery around old patterns, anxiety, depression, confusing emotions, overwhelm, relational dynamics, or trauma. If you feel drawn to a more holistic way of working with themes like these and you are curious to engage with more creative/art, spiritual/soul, somatic, nature-based, or experiential approaches. If you want to experience more embodiment, find clarity, grow, heal, and learn about yourself-and you desire more than simply talking your way through it, this is where I may come in.

John O'Brien
Psychologist, PsyD
Boulder, CO 80303
I work with athletes ages 12 and up who want to perform well, compete with confidence, and build a healthy relationship with sport. Some come to me because they feel stuck in their heads, overwhelmed by pressure, frustrated by inconsistency, or disconnected from the joy that first drew them to their sport. Others want to strengthen their mental game, develop new skills, and continue growing as athletes. My approach combines sport psychology tools with exploration. Together we strengthen focus, confidence, emotional regulation, and resilience while learning from setbacks and performance struggles.

Do you find yourself overthinking or caught in a cycle of self-criticism, or self-doubt? Many thoughtful adults feel anxious, burnt out, or stuck in people-pleasing and self-doubt. Therapy with me offers a grounded space where growth doesn't require beating yourself up but rather learning to be gentle with all of your parts. Together we build self-trust, emotional steadiness, and healthier ways of relating. I work with individuals. I work with couples wanting to move out of disconnection into greater harmony. I also work with children and families through play therapy that nurtures emotional regulation and resilience.

My clients are people at an inflection point — not always by choice. They're adults, teens, couples, and men who've found that something isn't working anymore, even if they can't yet say what. Some are navigating anxiety or depression that's quietly been running the show. Others are moving through divorce, major life transitions, or the slow erosion that happens in relationships over time. Some are high-functioning people, tech workers, parents, professionals, who look fine on the outside and feel lost on the inside. What they share is a willingness, even a reluctant one, to look more honestly at their lives. That's enough to start.

Hi! I'm Cindy (she/her), an intern therapist at The Gestalt Center. I believe that healing and growth are about becoming more aware of what and how we are doing at any given moment, allowing us to have more choice and freedom to choose behaviors that better align with what we want and who we want to be. The therapeutic relationship is a place to explore what you want, need, what seems to be getting in the way, and how you can navigate your way through to become more of who you are and want to be.
