Nicole Barrett
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.A., LPC, LMHC
I am a clinician at Nielsen Psychological Services, which is an outpatient behavioral health care organization, specializing in individual and couples therapy related to trauma, anxiety, grief & loss, and violence prevention. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida with nine years of clinical experience supporting individuals and couples in creating a deeper understanding and connection within their relationships. I have a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a certificate in Relationship and Family Therapy from Rollins College.
I specialize in working with couples navigating the unique dynamics of neurodivergence, helping partners bridge communication gaps, manage emotional regulation, and build empathy through practical, evidence-based strategies. I use Emotionally Focused Therapy, DBT, the Gottman Method (Level I certified), Attachment-Based Therapy, and Internal Family Systems.
I create a compassionate and inclusive space for each client’s neurodiverse experience to be understood and honored. My holistic approach empowers couples to strengthen their bond, embrace their differences, and cultivate fulfilling, resilient relationships.

Brittany Shannon
Psychologist, Ph.D.
The men I work with usually feel stuck, on edge, or disconnected from themselves and the people around them. They’re tired of dealing with the same patterns, and if we’re being honest, they’re pretty hard on themselves for it too. You’ve probably had that moment of “I’m not doing this again”… and then somehow you’re right back there.
A lot of what’s underneath that is trauma, anxiety, guilt, or habits that don’t change no matter how much effort you put in.
My job is to help you actually understand what’s going on, not just slap a label on it, and then use evidence-based trauma therapy to help you do something about it. This isn’t just talking. It’s learning a set of skills that helps you get unstuck and move differently.
Progress starts to look like having more control over your reactions, feeling less on edge, and not getting pulled into the same mental loops over and over. Instead of constantly reacting, you’re able to step back and respond in a way that actually lines up with who you want to be.
Sessions with me are direct, collaborative, and grounded. You don’t need the perfect words or a full explanation of everything that’s happened to get started. We focus on what works so you can get your life back.

Aurora is one of Colorado's most ethnically diverse cities and home to Buckley Space Force Base, creating a therapy community shaped by both military families and a remarkably multicultural civilian population that includes large communities from East Africa, Southeast Asia, and Latin America. The city's proximity to Denver and its own rapidly expanding healthcare sector — anchored by Children's Hospital Colorado and UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital on the Anschutz Medical Campus — give it significant institutional mental health resources and a large population of healthcare workers navigating occupational stress. Therapists experienced with military trauma, refugee resettlement, and bicultural identity serve distinct and important roles in Aurora's clinical landscape. The city's rapid growth has accelerated demand for therapists who specialize in life transitions and the challenges of building community in a fast-changing suburban environment.
