Tatiana Turo-Handy, PsyD., PMH-C
Psychologist, PsyD. PMH-C
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.

A Different Lens Counseling
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC, LPC, ADHD-CCSP, NCC
With both personal and clinical experience in anxiety, ADHD, and the process of exploring sexual orientation, I understand how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors can intertwine in ways that leave you feeling stuck or overwhelmed. I use evidence-based strategies to help you break through the patterns that keep you from living fully and authentically.
My approach is conversational and genuinely human. I care about who you are today and who you’re becoming, and I offer a space where you can reflect, experiment, and grow at your own pace. Together, we explore your experiences from fresh perspectives so you can better understand your needs and create meaningful change.
I draw from Gestalt, person-centered, and mindfulness-based foundations, while integrating CBT, DBT-informed skills, somatic awareness, and attachment-focused work. I view mental health through a whole-person lens and collaborate with you as the expert on your own life — offering guidance, education, and support as you navigate whatever brought you here.

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.

Johanna Isaacs
Psychologist, Psy.D., PsyPACT Participant
Do you find yourself gripped by worry and struggling to get enough things done in a day, no matter what you do? You may be fed up with your endless to-do list that never gets done, feeling guilty that you are not good enough. You might not even remember a time things didn't feel this way. But one thing is for sure: you're ready for some relief. You're ready to make choices in your life that line up with what is important to you. You're ready to learn new skills to feel calm everyday. Most of all, you're ready to embrace who you are and enjoy your life.

Melaney Flaniken
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, B.S., Integrative Health Studies M.S., Clinical Mental Health Counseling
My counseling is rooted in trauma-informed care, existential exploration, and evidence-based practices like CBT and ERP. Whether you’re facing anxiety, navigating a life transition, or simply longing for more meaning and connection, we’ll work together to create a space where your voice matters and your goals guide the way.
You won’t get a one-size-fits-all approach here. Instead, you’ll be met exactly where you are—with compassion, curiosity, and a belief in your capacity to grow and heal.
If you're ready to explore your story, shift what’s no longer working, and step into a more empowered version of yourself, I invite you to reach out. Your healing starts with a single conversation—and I’m here when you’re ready.

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.

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.

Catherine Bitney
Psychologist, PhD, Licensed Psychologist
I have a passion for helping clients reduce anxiety, stress, confusion, sadness, and pain - so that they can live more fulfilling, authentic, and happy lives. Many of my clients have stated that coming to therapy has helped to catapult them out of their stagnation - enabling them to reach their full potential. For clients who have had difficulty finding a therapist who can understand their complex and intersecting identities, I can be a breath of fresh air. I work with folks ages 15 and up.

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.
