Bobby Newell
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, SEP
A little about me
I’m a therapist who gets how overwhelming this stage of life can feel. You’re juggling pressure, expectations, relationships, and figuring out who you are—all at the same time. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach, and I’m not here to judge or “analyze” you.
My style is real, collaborative, and practical. I’ll help you understand what’s happening in your mind and body, and give you tools you can actually use in everyday life—not just in a therapy session.
Why reach out
If you’re tired of overthinking everything, feeling stuck, or reacting in ways you wish you could change, you don’t have to figure it out on your own.
Reaching out is the first step toward feeling more grounded, more confident, and more in control of your life.
Even if you’re not sure where to start—that’s okay. We’ll figure it out together.

Pat Reynolds
Therapist, LCAS, DOT-SAP, LAADC
Choosing a counselor is an important decision. My approach is built on the belief that healing occurs through connection, trust, and hope.
With more than a decade of experience working with individuals affected by substance use disorders, I understand that recovery is not a one size fits all process. I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered.
My professional experience, specialized training in addiction counseling, and commitment to individualized care allow me to meet clients where they are in their journey. I combine clinical expertise with practical strategies that promote growth, accountability, and long term success.
My goal is simple: to help people discover their strengths, overcome obstacles, and move forward with confidence and purpose.

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.
