Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum Therapists in Colorado University, Boulder, CO

Are you a new mom and feel like you are going 'crazy'? Are you tired of the ‘I’m not good enough’ loop playing in your head? Do you second guess yourself or find it difficult to make decisions? When we are feeling low it can impact areas of life ranging from productivity and procrastination to how we show up and hold boundaries in relationships. Transitioning to the role of a parent can be difficult at times and it often feels like a ton of pressure to do everything 'right'. Now, imagine if you didn’t have to feel this way. It can seem overwhelming, but with support you can feel better and start living the life you want and deserve.

I'm so glad you're here. It feels like you’re here because you’re tired of the same repetitive conflicts and unresolved feelings in your relationships or in your parenting journey. Does it seem like you’re going round and round in a loop of frustration, misunderstandings, or quick reactions? You’re seeking a pathway to understanding and connection, wanting to heal and find joy in these relationships again. You're ready for new approaches, and together, we'll uncover ways to turn these challenges into avenues for personal growth and closer relationships.

Are you a new mom coping with significant life changes? Are you dealing with stress, grief, or a unique challenge while parenting? Do you feel like your relationships and identity are shifting? Do you feel blah, exhausted, or lonely? I get how challenging parenting can be. Having a gentle, nonjudgmental place to explore deeper feelings and feel supported can lighten your load. Getting some time just for you, whether to talk things out, recharge, set goals, acknowledge your strengths, or see things from a fresh perspective can help you parent mindfully & joyfully and feel like yourself again.

Life is full of transitions and pivotal moments. Some exciting, some heartbreaking, all with the potential to feel overwhelming. I am here to offer support, help you feel heard, work with you to process your natural, emotional responses and to develop the skills to feel more in control of your life. Without judgement and in collaboration, I want to understand your unique experiences and values so that we can work together to identify the root of your struggles, build on your strengths and find solutions to your most pressing concerns. You deserve to prioritize your health and well-being so that you can live fully and meaningfully.

Hello there! I am a therapist and a birth doula and I am accepting new therapy and doula clients. I work with a wide variety of people who have unique diagnoses, relational struggles, and personal life challenges. I am particularly interested in working with those going through large life transitions- life and identity transitions, professional challenges, family changes, loss, and grief. All of my therapy work is virtual! Reach out today and we can get started right away.

Thinking about making a change in your life? Are you ready to take the leap and start to work with a strengths based clinician who will support you on your journey?

By recognizing the connection between past experiences and present behaviors, I enable my clients to gain insights into their thought processes and behaviors, which can empower them to make positive changes. Dismantling unhelpful patterns and replacing them with healthier alternatives is a fundamental aspect of fostering emotional well-being and personal transformation.

I am so glad you are here. It is incredibly brave to take this step toward connecting with others in a way that will inevitably ask a lot of you. Therapy requires you to be raw and vulnerable. I believe in creating a space that allows for the comfortable and uncomfortable parts of processing, leading to personal and mutual growth. Maybe we’ll work in the expansive outdoors or an inviting indoor space. Imagine a space that is warm, open-minded, and open-hearted and can support all that you bring. I create a space that honors social, cultural, economic, and spiritual differences and similarities.

Would you like to set clear boundaries? Change persistent patterns that arise in relationships? Ease your heart’s longing to belong? Engage transitions thoughtfully and with empowerment? Embrace a greater sense of connection & well-being? Be more kindhearted with yourself & loved ones? Support your child living a more joyful life? These aspirations are natural, indicating a courageous readiness to reach a fuller potential and greater well-being. Adults express themselves through stories; children through play. Words & play activate the nervous & neural systems allowing access to emotions, thoughts, & sensations.

It's not easy to seek help for your child. I've been there. I've been a psychologist for 28 years, but I've been a parent for 24, and counting. As a child and family psychologist, I help young families develop skills and routines to support healthy relationships for years to come. Play therapy allows children to integrate difficult experiences, and move past the stuck points in which they (and their parents) often find themselves. And it even works to do it virtually!

I love working with couples! A flourishing relationship gives us access to a more fulfilled life. When we feel seen, understood and supported...we thrive! In couples work, we better our skills in communication, vulnerability and emotional regulation...the result: more empathy, patience, forgiveness, tolerance and resiliency during painful anger, conflict and difference. It is my sole purpose to help individuals cultivate meaningful connection and trust within themselves and their partners. Don't let old stories and stuck behavior keep you from learning, expanding and healing. I do believe in hope and transformation!

Are you looking to reconnect with your partner or family members? Feeling stuck in the same pattern of conflict and old wounds? Has your relationship been pushed to the back burner during major life transitions? I have the privilege of working with individuals, couples, and families looking to discover better connections with themselves and each other. My practice is grounded in Relational Life Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Mindful Self Compassion. I support clients in acknowledging, valuing, and working with the parts of themselves and their loved ones that are often perceived as painful and in need of “fixing”.

Hi! I work with adults and undergraduate/graduate students who present with issues related to trauma, anxiety, depression, relationships, and identity/existential concerns. I value a holistic perspective when treating psychological issues and offer therapy that creates constructive and meaningful change. My expertise creates the container for our collaborative relationship; you bring self-knowledge and a vision of what you want your life to be.

Women are often told exactly who we are supposed to be, what our bodies should like, how to behave, how to live and think. We are constantly made to feel too much and never enough. We are taught by family, culture, and society where our place is in the world. We stay silent as we are expected to offer ourselves up for exhaustion and extraction. We make sure we are not making anyone uncomfortable, not taking up too much space. We learn to shrink, hide the parts of ourselves that are “unacceptable”, and move through the world wearing a mask. But all these rules, expectations, and beliefs feel shackles. And you're ready to be free.

Welcome! As we work together I will honor your inherent healthiness. If you are experiencing PTSD, trauma, grief, loss, divorce, depression, anxiety, anger, denial, co-dependency, addictions, or need self-care and empowerment, you have choices. I can help you to be brave enough to weather personal storms, tender enough to be vulnerable, resilient enough to succeed, and confident enough to trust your own wisdom. Together we'll take a non-judgmental and honest look at "how and why" you do what you do, in order to inspire positive change. I invite you to explore the possibilities. Individuals and couples. (No insurance for couples)

Telehealth openings for all of WA and CO! Welcome to the Shanti Wellness Center. I'm Shanti, a compassionate licensed psychotherapist, chemical dependency counselor, dance movement therapist and yoga therapist. I have been a dedicated licensed therapist for over 21 years. With deep compassion and non-judgmental mindful support, I hold a space for growth and healing to occur. This fertile ground allows clients to set reachable goals for positive change. I help clients heal through a wide variety of challenges including trauma, anxiety, depression, stress, grief, relationship challenges, chronic pain, addiction, transitions and more.

My approach is client-centered, meaning I start where you are and work collaboratively to find a way forward. Perhaps that means finding a solution to a specific problem, or breaking patterns of behavior, or simply developing a better understanding of yourself.

Life is a journey of accomplishments/joy along with struggles/challenges. During difficult phases to navigate my hope is to come alongside and support you by considering the relational, psychological, emotional, and spiritual dimensions in a holistic way. First, I listen to your story to understand your unique personality and experiences. Next, integrating my professional training, life experience and years encouraging and supporting others I offer resources, strategies and guidance on how to heal, change, or grow. Hope can be restored whether you suffer from wounds in the past, broken relationships or behavior you desire to change.

Are you curious about wellness? Would you like to work on actualizing your potential? Are you needing better, more effective ways to cope? I can help! If you are in need of someone grounded and objective to help you make sense of your world and provide you with the necessary skills to overcome, then I'm the therapist for you. If your goal is stability and personal growth I can guide you on that path to self-actualization. My experience ranges from general anxiety, depression and mindfulness training to chronic mental illness, trauma and addiction. There is no issue too big or too small for our time together.
