Todd Kline
Psychiatrist, Medical Doctorate, MD
Hey! I'm Dr. Todd Kline and welcome to my private practice. I offer evaluations and ongoing treatment within about 2-3 weeks -- sometimes sooner since I'm expanding my private practice to full time. I treat Adults and Adolescents primarily with Psychotherapy and Medications, specializing in Anxiety/Panic, Depression, Grief, Life Transitions, Mood illnesses and Attention Deficit Disorder. I take Anthem/BCBS, Cigna, Medicare, Medicaid, United, Aetna, Humana and out-of-network/out of pocket payments. I offer pharmacogenetic testing and expert consultation for patients who have tried medications before but they didn't work. After nearly 25 years of medical practice, I've earned the right to say "I got skills" and I'm also a very kind person. "Dr. Kline, you are Kind," somebody recently gave me this compliment. "Kind?" I asked, forgetting for a second how people experience me. "Yeah," she smiled, "It's a pretty good trait for a doctor." That reminded me how I was nicknamed "Dr. Kind" instead of Dr. Kline back in residency at UCHealth. When you enter my practice as a new patient, you get access to my genuine impulse to help and nuanced, sophisticated skills built over the many years I've been a physician! Together, we build a life-changing treatment plan to, right away lessen your symptoms, and over time eliminate what is causing you suffering, anguish and pain. I feel lucky and am happy to help people live better lives with the information I have learned and what I know how to teach.

Naya Clinics Denver
Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Professional Counselors
Hi, I’m Sam, founder of Naya Clinics
I spent 20+ years studying and working with human behavior, human performance, and organizational behavior. I lived, studied and worked in half a dozen countries around the world and my work experience spans varying industries and disciplines from counseling and business to marketing and sports.
It is this diverse and multi cultural work and life experience that I drew on as I developed Positive Existential Therapy (PET). Positive Existential Therapy PET is client centered and designed to give you results. It is a radical departure from how therapy has come to be, and it works.
My team and myself invite you to experience our avant-garde marriage counseling, therapy, and life coaching services in our locations in Cincinnati, Columbus, Indianapolis , and Denver.

Psychodynamic Therapy
Dr. Trey Cole
Psychologist, Psy.D., ABPP, DAAETS
Therapy, at its best, is a space where you can slow down, turn inward, and begin to understand yourself more fully. My role is to walk alongside you in that process — with honesty, care, and deep respect for your experience.
I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, relationship challenges, and life transitions. My approach draws from CBT, ACT, trauma-focused therapy, and existential therapy, always tailored to what feels most useful for you. But more than any particular method, I believe healing happens through genuine connection — when you feel truly seen and understood.
Together, we'll explore the patterns, emotions, and beliefs that shape how you move through the world. We'll build practical tools where you need them, and make space for the deeper questions when those matter more. My hope is that our work helps you relate to yourself with greater compassion, and to your life with greater clarity and intention.

Psychodynamic Therapy
Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I work with young adults and adults who feel overwhelmed, overextended, and stuck in patterns they can’t think their way out of. Often, they’re still keeping life moving on the outside. Many of my clients are high‑functioning and responsible, while privately feeling depleted, anxious, or shut down. Therapy offers a place to slow down, notice what’s happening in your body and mind, and begin shifting toward a life that feels more like your own, including how you relate to yourself and others. My style is clear, thoughtful, and deeply attuned.

Our work meets you where you are—inviting healing that’s felt in the body, nourishes the spirit, and deepens connection to self and others. Using AEDP, EMDR, and body-based therapy, I guide clients to feel safely, release old patterns, and reconnect with who they truly are—so they can live with more authenticity, ease, and emotional freedom.

Psychodynamic Therapy
Greta Carlson, Psy.D., ABPP
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
Welcome! I'm a clinical psychologist with nearly a decade of clinical experience working with children, adolescents, and adults of all ages. I see children, adolescents, and young adults aged 5 and up with depression, chronic PTSD and dissociation, anxiety, OCD, and ADHD. My clients present with a range of concerns, including anxiety, ruminative thoughts, shame feelings, and perfectionism. Having had extensive experience in both psychodynamic psychotherapy and Trauma Focused-CBT, I take an integrative approach when working with clients-I collaborate with you and your child to tailor your goals and address needs for treatment.
While we would tailor treatment to further draw out and address your goals, I work to help you get to know yourself-to name and regulate a range of feelings, identify negative beliefs about yourself, others, or the world, and find healthier ways to cope with strong feelings. I also consider how your past history is relevant to your present relationships.
The decision to seek therapy is such a courageous one. I think, oftentimes, we can tell ourselves that we can "think through" or "solve problems" entirely on our own-it's so difficult to reach out for support! I work at a pace that feels manageable for you or your child, focusing on creating a warm and collaborative alliance for therapy and assessment.

Dr. Maria Canyon
Psychologist, PsyD, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
I strive to create a therapeutic environment where individuals can explore all aspects of themselves. Utilizing an integrative approach to psychotherapy, I place emphasis on the therapeutic relationship and the unique needs of the people I work with. I view therapy as a collaborative space to navigate the inevitable complexities that arise during a lifetime, exploring both conscious and unconscious narratives with curiosity and care.

Vincent Espinoza
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
My therapy practice is focused on YOU, first and foremost! I believe we are all unique and a culmination of our values, desires, experiences and our untapped potential. My mission as a mental health clinician is to help my clients learn how to talk about sex in a healthy, unapologetic, sex-positive way and to confront and address past trauma so they can move into the present and enjoy a fulfilling life.

Psychodynamic Therapy
Tara Murphy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I believe every human being has inherent value, yet so many of us carry deep shame from past experiences that tell us otherwise—messages like “I’m bad,” “I’m too much,” “I’m unlovable,” or “If I show myself, I’ll be rejected.” These beliefs can quietly shape how we see ourselves, our relationships, and what we think is possible. In therapy, I work to help uncover and soften these old burdens so they no longer hold you back. My style is warm, collaborative, and deeply respectful of the courage it takes to show up. Together, we’ll build a space where you can feel seen in your wholeness, reconnect with your own inner wisdom, and move toward a life that feels freer and more grounded.

David Rothman, MA, LPC
Licensed Professional Counselor
David Rothman
Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC
I’m a therapist dedicated to helping individuals and couples heal the places where relationships feel stuck, tender, or overwhelming. For more than a decade, I’ve supported people through moments of relational disconnection, attachment wounds, and the challenges that arise from substance use and life transitions. My work is grounded in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), AEDP, and psychodynamic approaches, all of which honor the power of connection, emotional safety, and the inherent capacity we each have to heal.
As a husband and father, I deeply value the meaning of closeness, vulnerability, and the work it sometimes takes to stay connected. These personal experiences shape my belief that relationships—whether with partners, children, or ourselves—are central to our well-being. I strive to bring warmth, steadiness, and genuine care into every session.
In therapy, I help clients slow down, understand the deeper patterns shaping their emotions and behaviors, and create space for new ways of relating. Whether you’re navigating conflict, rebuilding trust, healing attachment injuries, or working through the emotional impact of substance use, I’m here to walk with you—not as an expert who has all the answers, but as a partner in your growth.
My intention is to offer a welcoming, non-judgmental space where you feel seen, supported, and encouraged to explore what’s possible. Healing is relational, and you don’t have to do it alone.

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.
