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.

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.

Denver Wellness Counseling
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
Here at Denver Wellness Counseling, our therapists prioritize both the importance of the therapeutic relationship and the need for research-backed interventions so clients can finally make the gains they are hoping for. Many of our clients find us after years of "talk therapy" and a readiness to do "deeper work." We are happy to help and know how to guide that process.
Our therapists specialize in EMDR therapy, which they thoughtfully combine with other modalities to meet the unique needs of their clients. Therapy can look a number of ways, but will typically include tools for building self-awareness, cultivating internal sources of strength, healing old wounds (EMDR), and integrating treatment gains into present day systems and relationships.
Yes, we consider ourselves "trauma" therapists, yet we purposely expand the trauma definition to include ANY life event that has shifted one's sense of safety, choice (control), or identity. We work to help clients heal wounding from any developmental stage of life, even those that occurred prior to explicit memory (pre-verbal experiences), or recent events from the past few weeks or months.

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.

Arazeli Wagner
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Many people seek therapy because they feel overwhelmed, emotionally stuck, or caught in relationship patterns they don’t fully understand. Anxiety, self-doubt, and emotional reactivity often have deeper roots than what’s happening in the present moment. I work with adults who want to understand these patterns with compassion and create meaningful, lasting change in their lives and relationships.

Sumer Statler Aeed
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
I am a psychologist that is passionate about all of us living the fully awake and vibrant lives we are meant to. Sometimes this involves healing from the past, other times it means working towards visioning and creating the future, oftentimes both. It generally involves some insight but also a good dose of experiential tools and learning about your central nervous system and how to both understand and work with it, what we call both top down and bottom up tools. Ready for real change and willing to do the work? (yep it is work but well worth it) Let's go.

Brittany Bouffard, LCSW, CYT
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, CYT
You deserve to feel perfectly enough in life, by learning to cope with a difficult childhood, a traumatic experience, or grieving a loved one. With any of these hardships, knowing your own emotions and needs can prove daunting. You might overwork, people-please, self-criticize, or over-caretake. You likely have feelings from the past that are tough to process. Therapy is a wonderful place for support in becoming your whole self with less stress. Please see much more below about working together around Childhood Difficulties & Trauma, Acute Traumas, or Grief & Loss.

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.

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.

Psychologist, PsyD, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
I strive to create a therapeutic environment where individuals can explore all aspects of themselves.

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.

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. Trey Cole
Psychologist, Psy.D., ABPP, DAAETS
I provide compassionate, collaborative therapy for individuals coping with anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, relationship challenges, and life transitions. My goal is to create a safe, validating space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported while exploring your experiences and discovering new ways of relating to yourself and others.
I use evidence-based approaches such as CBT, ACT, trauma-focused therapy, and existential therapy, tailoring our work to your unique needs. Together, we’ll explore thought patterns, emotions, and behaviors, build coping skills, and cultivate resilience, so you can navigate life’s challenges with greater confidence and well-being.
I believe meaningful change arises from connection and understanding. Whether you are seeking support for specific mental health concerns, coping strategies, or personal growth, I’m here to help you take steps toward a more balanced, authentic, and fulfilling life.

Denver's outdoor culture and apparent wellness orientation coexist with high rates of depression, anxiety, and substance use — a tension many locals recognize. The city's rapid growth and housing pressures have intensified stress for longtime residents and newcomers alike, and therapists frequently address adjustment, relationship strain, and burnout tied to the city's boom-era pace. Denver has a significant veteran population given proximity to several military installations, and therapists specializing in military trauma and PTSD are well represented. UCHealth and SCL Health provide major institutional anchors alongside Denver's large and well-established independent therapy community.
