Psychworks Clinic
Psychologist, PHD
At PsychWorks Clinic, our goal is to create a space that is grounded in compassion, cultural awareness, and honesty.
Therapy is a partnership. We work together to unpack the stories you’ve been told and the ones you tell yourself, to find the truth underneath and build something stronger in its place. Whether we're working with a child finding their voice, a couple rebuilding connection, or a man learning it’s okay to feel, growth doesn’t always look like comfort, but it always leads to freedom.
This work is deeply human. And every session, every conversation, is an opportunity to remind someone that they are not broken, they’re becoming.

Kelli Tahaney
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist, Ph.D.
Hi! I'm Dr. Tahaney and I'm a Psychologist based in Boulder, CO. I moved to Colorado from Boston in 2020 to complete my residency training and start my clinical practice. I have about ten years of clinical experience working with clients from a range of demographic backgrounds and with a variety of presenting problems and symptoms. I have particularly specialized in treating alcohol and drug use disorders, anxiety disorders, depression, trauma, ADHD and life transition stress.
I feel passionately about creating a supportive, nonjudgmental, and validating environment and utilizing my extensive background and training in evidence-based practices (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Processing Therapy) to help clients work through their pain and distress to live less inhibited and more fulling lives.

Mid-Atlantic Psychological Services
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I'm Dr. Shepherd, a licensed psychologist and certified school psychologist with over 16 years of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults. My approach to therapy is collaborative, practical, and strengths-based. I believe meaningful change comes from developing insight, learning effective strategies, and building on personal strengths. I strive to create a supportive environment where clients feel understood, encouraged, and appropriately challenged. And I believe a little humor can go a long way.

Dr Todd Giardina
Psychologist, PhD, Counseling Psychology
Have you felt "stuck" and unable to make that change you so desire? Do you hear from people that you're "not living up to your potential" or "you're so great," but you just don't feel it? Are your relationships plagued by anxiety or distress? These are the things I am expert in managing. I focus largely on work with women, being that I can "speak" the male and female language and navigate relationship issues. I also take a feminist, empowerment focus in our work - we build on your specific strengths, and take into account your objective limitations. Everyone can find happiness, let's find yours, together!
