Dr. Kristyn Neckles
Psychologist, Psy.D.
You may be successful, capable, and accustomed to handling a lot, yet still find yourself feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, anxious, or simply tired of holding everything together. Perhaps you are navigating burnout, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, a major life transition, or the pressure of being the person others consistently depend on.
I work with adults and couples who want more than a place to simply talk. Together, we make sense of the patterns keeping you stuck, strengthen the tools you already possess, and develop practical strategies for meaningful and lasting change. My approach is warm, collaborative, culturally responsive, and gently direct, with therapy tailored to your experiences, values, relationships, and goals.
You do not have to wait until life is falling apart to seek support. Therapy can also be a space to pause, gain clarity, strengthen your relationships, reconnect with yourself, and decide how you want to move forward. My goal is to help you move beyond simply managing life toward living with greater intention, connection, and resilience.

Dr. Tatiana Turo-Handy | Licensed Psychologist (CO) | Bilingual: Spanish & English | PSYPACT‑Authorized
Becoming a parent is one of the most profound transitions in life and it can also be one of the most challenging. I specialize in supporting individuals and families through the full spectrum of the perinatal journey, including fertility struggles, pregnancy and postpartum mood and anxiety disorders, birth trauma, perinatal grief and loss, and the complex emotional adjustment to parenthood.
I also work with adults experiencing generalized anxiety, depression, and interpersonal difficulties, offering a grounded, culturally responsive, and collaborative therapeutic space.
As a bilingual psychologist, I provide care in both Spanish and English. I also conduct comprehensive immigration psychological evaluations, including N‑648, T‑Visa, U‑Visa, VAWA, and Asylum evaluations.

Nick Sotor
Psychologist, PsyD
Sculpting meaning from our lives can be challenging especially during difficult times. I am a licensed clinical Psychologist who provides evidence-based therapies including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Prolonged Exposure Therapy, and am a Linehan Board Certified clinician with an expertise in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I have an expertise treating a wide range of mental disorders with a specific focus on problems of emotional dysregulation including depression, anxiety, PTSD, and personality disorders.
I strive to understand individuals within the larger context of their lives rather than focusing on simplistic diagnoses or labels. This stance allows me to practice psychotherapy in a genuine, relational, and compassionate way while at the same time while remaining firmly rooted in theory and providing treatments that have been shown to work.
My style is direct, thoughtful, and often irreverent. I value a strong therapeutic relationship and aim to be honest and open in treatment to encourage direct communication and help co-create a therapeutic space that feels validating, safe, and helpful.
