Hello, I’m Kyrzia Parker (she/her), MSW, LCSW, CDWF. I created One Starfish Counseling and Supervision to be a place where people come to heal, grow and explore. The name comes from The Star Thrower by Loren C. Eiseley. The story is about a child who tries to save all the starfish that were washed up after a terrible storm. While the child is throwing starfish back into the water, someone admonishes the child that they cannot save them all, cannot really make a difference. The child keeps throwing starfish back, stating, “Well, I made a difference for that one!” Soon others joined, and all the starfish were saved.

For my work with individuals, I often incorporate brainspotting (a cousin of EMDR), which gently & intuitively allows your brain & body to connect to facilitate change.
If you are dealing with loneliness, overwhelm, or anxiety, then I welcome you - that is okay here. Grief or depression might be your companions, but they no longer need to control you. I work with adults of all ages looking to identify their values & strengths, corporate professionals looking to unpack their identity & worth outside of work, and engaged/married couples looking to have a strong connection with their partners built on trust, friendship, & intimacy. I know what it is firsthand to feel “outwardly successful but inwardly defeated” and I also know that change is possible. I can help you work towards growth & change, too.

I'm licensed in CO and am a certified brainspotting therapist.
Anger, resentment, loneliness. What happened? This was not the plan. It was supposed to be different…better. The desire for relief from the hurt evokes thoughts of escape. But, if you follow that path the price-tag for everyone seems too great! But the fact is, this relationship isn’t working. The thought “I can’t keep doing this” is coming more often. Things need to change, but how? After trying everything else, nothing’s really better. It feels hopeless. Yet, the truth is, it’s not hopeless. Many couples go through similar difficulties and struggles, and there is help that can heal and restore your relationship.

Trained in EMDR and Brainspotting, I help clients process unresolved experiences, reduce anxiety, and calm nervous system stress.
My ideal clients are individuals and couples who feel the strain in their lives or their relationships but don’t want to give up on them. Many are navigating high-stress careers, trauma exposure, life transitions, or divorce. They may feel disconnected, stuck in conflict, or unsure how to communicate without defensiveness or shutdown. They want to rebuild emotional safety, strengthen connection, and feel understood again. At their core, they’re not looking for blame — they’re looking for clarity, stability, and a healthier way forward together.

I draw on training in Schema Therapy, MBCT, and Brainspotting, tailoring our work to your goals rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.
If you’re a high-performing professional feeling overwhelmed, burned out, or quietly questioning whether your life or career still fits, you’re not alone. I work with individuals and couples navigating anxiety, depression, career stress, relationship strain, and major life transitions. Many are used to holding it all together—meeting expectations, managing responsibilities, and pushing through—until it begins to affect their well-being, identity, or relationships. Together, we’ll explore the patterns, pressures, and underlying dynamics shaping your experience and work toward meaningful change.

Brainspotting Therapists
How does brainspotting work?
Brainspotting works by using eye positioning to identify and process traumatic memories so that a client is better able to move forward and live with less fear. The theory behind brainspotting is that by identifying where a person looks when thinking of traumatic memories, a therapist will be able to guide them to focus on that spot and work with the client to get them out of the “fight, flight, freeze” response associated with the traumatic memory.

Is brainspotting an evidence-based therapy?
Brainspotting is a theory-based alternative therapy. It is one of the newest forms of treatment, so very little research has been completed that examines the mechanism by which it works. The theory behind brainspotting is that eye position can be linked to areas of the brain that store and process memory.

How effective is brainspotting?
Because it is such a new treatment, the effectiveness of brainspotting cannot be quantified. Some people have found it to be effective on its own, or in conjunction with other types of therapy. It is considered an alternative therapy, and it is popular with people for whom more traditional therapies have proven ineffective.

How long does brainspotting take to work?
A typical brainspotting session will last between 60 to 90 minutes. There is no required number of sessions needed to complete brainspotting therapy, but in many cases it is delivered over the course of about six sessions. Clients are encouraged to rate their level of distress prior to a session and again following a session, and to track progress.
