Therapists in Boulder, CO

Do you just feel stuck and unsure how to move forward? Are you desiring more from your life and relationships? Are you longing for a deeper connection with yourself or with a partner? Do you struggle to communicate your wants and needs to your partner? Has sex become more of a struggle than a pleasure? Do these questions feel familiar? If so, you are not alone. I’ll be happy to help you uncover authenticity, transform painful patterns, and create a life that is aligned with your highest values and deepest desires. I aim to provide clients a course of therapy that is tailored to best suit your unique needs.

“How can I reconnect intimately with my partner?” “How do we navigate having different levels of sexual desire?” “How do we rebuild trust after it’s been broken?” “Who am I and what does that mean?” These are all questions I have heard many iterations of in my therapy office, so if you’ve found yourself asking some of these same questions, you’re not alone. Whether you're tackling rebuilding trust, cultivating intimacy, exploring sexuality, deconstructing harmful self-narratives, or developing communication skills, it is an honor to walk alongside you during this journey, as you invest in yourself and your relationships.

My intention is to create a powerful therapeutic relationship between myself and my clients. I know and have witnessed that struggling with sexuality issues can often lead to feelings of shame or embarrassment. I see our sexualities as one of the most diverse and unique parts of ourselves. I believe that difference does not equal disorder, and being "normal" is often not the goal. I am poly/open and kink knowledgeable and have experience in working with non-traditional relationship dynamics, LGBTQIA2+ issues, individuals and couples & families relationship issues.

I am a Certified Sex Therapist and Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Denver and Boulder. Additionally, I received Marriage and Family Therapy training at Denver Family Institute where I worked extensively with couples, individuals, and families on damaging relationship patterns, strengthening emotional connections, and communication skills. I have extensive work with LGBTQIA+ individuals and couples, polyamory, consensual non monogamy, out of control sexual behavior, kink, and many other sex related issues. I also love to use spirituality & mindfulness such as meditative & grounding techniques.

These are really tough times, aren't they? Existing issues feel bigger and it can be that much harder to cope. Therapy can heIp. I approach therapy in a warm and collaborative manner to help couples, individuals, and families identify new and adaptive ways to deal with life's challenges. In couples therapy, I use Emotion-Focused and Gottman approaches to help partners learn to manage and repair conflict, rebuild trust and intimacy, and build emotional connections. In family treatment, I'll work with your family to develop adaptive and healthy communication patterns, as well as address parenting concerns and behavioral issues.

We are always, already in relationship. Whether it is a relationship to another person, place, or oneself, we are in some way connected to and affected by our surroundings. It's in relationship that our deepest hurt can take place, and it's also in relationship that our most profound and liberating healing can occur. Let's utilize relationship- yours and mine, other relationships in your life (partner or friends), and the greater context of society, and nature to illuminate your unconscious patterning, and support you in finding new, intentional ways of being that bring you greater joy, clarity, and wellbeing.

Hey there, I'm Elena, a queer, sex-positive therapist specializing in working with LGBTQIA+ and non-monogamous clients. At Arcana Counseling, I welcome adolescent and adult individuals and relationship configurations of all kinds. Whether you're facing mental health or relationship issues, moving through a difficult life transition, seeking coping or communication skills, or continuing on your journey of self-discovery, you don't have to do it alone.

I seek to create a safe, welcoming environment where genuine conversation and exploration can occur. My specialties include relationships, sexual challenges, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, ADHD, and distress around identity. I also support clients with transitions to parenthood and postpartum challenges. Oftentimes these life transitions are more difficult than most people can imagine. I recognize the obstacles each person overcomes to start therapy and the courage required to begin that process. Together, we will look for pragmatic and effective ways to ignite the process towards feeling better and living a more authentic life.

I enjoy working with motivated individuals who want to see change. I work with both individuals and couples/Poly/CNM who are navigating challenges in their lives or their relationships. Maybe you've found yourself feeling disconnected from your partner(s) or having the same fight over and over again. Or maybe you feel like something isn't working in your life but you just can't put your finger on it. I love helping clients explore where they're stuck and collaborate with them to find creative solutions.

I am dedicated to working with people who want to get at the roots of their emotional pain and distress. My fundamental approach to treatment is relational. Therapy is a process where we will develop an alliance in which your emotional and developmental needs are made a priority. Over time, an internalized healing space forms where you can recover access to parts of your true self. Speaking freely without unnecessary self-censorship may be simple, but it is not easy. I encourage you to try it.

I specialize in complex trauma-informed couples counseling and healing relationship issues. Couples come to me for help with communication, emotional and physical intimacy, conflict resolution, and emotional regulation. Individuals come to me for a deeper understanding of their relationship patterns. I support clients through life transitions: dating, premarital, couples/marriage counseling, family planning, and divorce. Romantic relationships start with yourself. My clients cultivate self-trust, self-love, and self-compassion. Love is everything it's cracked up to be and authentic connection is the most beautiful human experience.
