You shouldn't wait until a crisis to invest in your closest relationships. And even couples who are separating are far better served working alongside a therapist or coach, so they arrive on the other side with their hearts still faced toward each other.
These are some of the best Colorado therapists and coaches we know.
Divorce and Parent coach
I coach parents through separation, divorce and the co-parenting relationship that comes after it. My training in co-parent coaching, child development and relational neuroscience means I understand both the legal process and what it does to a family day to day. I work best with parents who, in the middle of their own upheaval, are determined to put their children’s needs first.
LSW
I provide therapeutic support around co-parenting, divorce transitions and more contentious dynamics, specializing in the emotional and relational complexities of separation and parenting changes. I work in Boulder and offer both in-person and telehealth therapy, and I accept most major insurance plans.
Certified Gestalt-Based Relational Life Therapy Practitioner
I see a relationship as a living system with its own climate and patterns. My work blends Relational Life Therapy, Gestalt-centered somatic awareness and living-systems theory to shift couples out of reactive habits and into steadier, more intentional connection. I work with long-term couples who feel distant or stuck and know there is more available to them — virtually worldwide, and in person in Boulder.
OTR, Occupational Therapist, ADHD Parent Coach
After 23 years as a pediatric occupational therapist I saw how much of a child’s progress is set by their parents, which led me into ADHD parent coaching. I help parents understand how delays in executive functioning shape almost every part of daily life, and I give them concrete tools to ease conflict and stress. I am also the parent of a child with ADHD. Seven-week Zoom class or individual sessions.
LPC, MA
I am a psychotherapist in Boulder working with adolescents and adults on trauma, life transitions, anxiety, perfectionism, neurodiversity and the relationship to self. My practice draws on Gestalt, Internal Family Systems, EMDR, Nonviolent Communication and DBT, held in a trauma-informed frame. My earlier work as a coach shows in the practical strategies I bring alongside it. My role is to guide clients toward their own truth.
MA
I am an evolutionary coach with 25 years of experience guiding people through intense life transitions, relationship ruptures and deep inner change. My approach is clear-eyed and catalytic, with practical tools that cut through confusion. Whether you are in a relationship that is changing or ending, heartbroken, or standing at the edge of your next chapter, I help you face what is real and move on it.
MAMFT
I hold a Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy, and much of my work is with couples restructuring their relationships — the part I love most. I support individuals, couples and families through co-parenting after divorce, blending households, ethical non-monogamy and healing trauma, using Brainspotting, breathwork and somatic regulation. I also run weekly groups for solo, divorced and blended families.
PsyD, LAC
I am a licensed clinical psychologist and licensed addictions counselor with 24 years of experience. As a PACT Level II therapist I work with high-conflict couples, often on the brink of divorce, using an intensive, body-aware model that moves partners out of survival-based relating. I also offer individual therapy. My office is in Niwot, in person or by Zoom, and the first 15 to 30 minutes are free.
M.A., LPC, NCC
I integrate existential and attachment-based therapy in every session: the large questions of who you are and what gives your life meaning, grounded in how your relationships have shaped your sense of trust and belonging. The result is both a space for self-discovery and a practical testing ground for healthier connection. I work with individuals, couples and people in non-monogamous relationships who are ready to go deep.
certified parent coach
I coach single parents who have lived through domestic violence and are rebuilding their parenting — work I do because I have been there myself, through coercive control and custody proceedings. My support runs well past the weekly session: I am reachable by chat Monday through Friday, for the hard conversation with a co-parent or the stress of a CFI or PRE process. Grounded in attachment science.
MA, LPC
I take a warm, personalized approach — no one method fits every family — and tailor the work to each client’s values and cultural background. My advanced training in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy and the Gottman Method gives couples practical communication skills and clarity about where the relationship is going. I also help people through uncoupling: honoring the grief, and building a new path with goodwill.
MA, NLC, CAGS
Debi is an experienced psychotherapist who supports couples through pivotal changes. Some arrive still ambivalent about whether to divorce, and she is skilled at helping them reach real clarity either way. For those who have decided, she offers compassionate, evidence-based support through the grieving, the skills co-parenting asks for, and a constructive mindset — aiming to make the end of a relationship as character-building as it can be.
LCSW
I have worked in therapy since 2010 and specialized in couples and families since 2016, with advanced certification in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy and in Discernment Counseling — a protocol for couples on the brink of divorce that helps them get clear, and, if they do divorce, keeps the process kids-first and more amicable. I lead a team of couples therapists at Colorado Therapy Collective, all LGBTQ+ affirming.
MA, MFTC
I specialize in getting clients unstuck. Rather than stopping at insight, I teach people the rules of their own game, until they can see their own patterns clearly enough that the old ways of coping no longer hold. It works best with people who know what they want and cannot yet make themselves do it. I love families in transition or in grief, and helping them love each other better.
UP, MA, MPA, PACT Level 2
I became a couples therapist after watching a therapist help my long-divorced parents heal old wounds at my father’s deathbed — they remarried days before he died. I am a PACT Level 2 therapist, drawing on attachment, trauma, codependency, mindfulness and addiction, and I co-founded the Global Glue Project. I love couples in transition: into deeper commitment, after a betrayal, or choosing to end things well.
MA, LMFT, CLC, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
I know what it is like to face a transition where the stakes feel high, and to find the ground shaky exactly when you need it solid. I help couples improve their relationships with each other and with themselves, and I help individuals do the same. More than anything, I help both find a clear and confident path forward.
Ph.D., Clinical Psychologist
My work is relational: the relationship between us becomes the place we examine your others — with yourself first, then with parents, partners, children, friends and colleagues. Relationships can carry great meaning and also feel stuck or toxic. My job is to understand how you operate and help you reach your goals. I work with adults and older teenagers, including through the losses a divorce brings.
LPC
I am a Certified Emotionally Focused Therapist and Supervisor, so my focus is on building securely attached relationships. I have worked in the addictions field for over 30 years, with specialties in substance abuse in teens and women, and in work addiction. I am a Christian therapist and work with all populations. I am certified in Brainspotting, and my facility dog helps clients regulate after trauma.
MFTC
I believe everyone has a story to tell, and I am here to help you explore your relational stories and find your voice. I am especially glad to work with clients holding alternative sexual, gender and relational identities. I offer relationship and family intensives — including for a relationship that is gently unwinding — and I am trained in CAMS care for suicidal ideation. Sunday and evening appointments.

We partner with therapists and coaches so the legal process reinforces the emotional work rather than undoing it. If we already know each other, ask us about being featured here.
