Banu Ibaoglu Vaughn
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, LPC, LMHC, CIRT, CCH
I work with couples and individuals who are curious about their relationships. I am interested not only in what feels difficult, but in what those struggles may be revealing about who you are and how you want to live. I focus on how we love, how we defend against love, and what we long for when we cannot find our way back to each other. These patterns shape both our partnerships and our way of being in the world. Most conflicts that bring people to therapy nearly always point toward something that needs attention, a place where growth is trying to happen.
Relationships are living fields. They carry our histories, our cultural inheritances, and our unfinished emotional stories, but they also carry possibility. This is true of the relationships we have with others and the relationship we have with ourselves. Many of the individuals I work with feel a gap between their current reality and the life they sense is possible but have not yet been able to inhabit. I do not see this as pathology. It often signals that your development is asking for attention.
I am a clinical trainer and supervisor in Imago Relationship Therapy and have over twenty years of experience working across cultures and contexts. My orientation is dialogical, experiential, and psychodynamic. In sessions, I integrate somatic awareness and close attention to what unfolds in real time, such as shifts in tone, subtle contractions, or moments of distance. We slow these down so that reactions can become meaningful rather than automatic. We also make plenty of room for laughter. I find that humor is often the first sign of a pattern breaking, a way to hold the absurdity of the human experience while moving toward something more vital.
I work online with U.S. and international clients, including cross-cultural couples and expats navigating identity shifts and displacement. Culture, migration, and family history leave deep imprints on how we attach and how we imagine intimacy. These layers are always part of our conversation.
Therapy with me is steady, engaged, and deeply reflective. I trust that individuals and relationships carry an inner movement toward aliveness. My role is to help you recognize it, support it, and allow it to shape how you live, both together and individually.
If this resonates with you, I invite you to reach out to schedule an initial consultation.

Amanda Etienne
Psychologist, Psy.D
If you're a woman who's spent years doing everything "right," (achieving, handling, holding it together...) you may have noticed that success didn't fill the gap you thought it would. I work with capable, high-achieving women who are realizing they want more than functioning: they want to actually know themselves, and to let the people in their life know them too.
Many of my clients grew up being told they were "too sensitive" or "too much." I believe sensitivity isn't the problem to manage away - it's a strength that got mislabeled, and often the very thing that makes deep connection possible. Together, we slow down enough to build a real relationship with yourself, not just a polished explanation of yourself.
I offer virtual therapy across Colorado, Washington, and all PSYPACT states, specializing in anxiety, perfectionism, and relational and sexual trauma. If you're ready to stop managing your sensitivity and start using it, I'd love to talk.

Tal Brafford
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LCMHC-A
I am a relational therapist at heart. We exist in an ecosystem floating in the universe, surrounded by nature and each other. We don't get injured alone, we can't survive on our own, and we rarely heal alone. The fundamental role I play as a therapist is to provide you a safe relationship. I believe that safety is the primary catalyst for healing.

Edmund Buckman
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LCMHC, LCAS
What makes my practice unique is the balance I strike between emotional depth and practical support. I create a calm, nonjudgmental space where you’ll feel seen and respected, and I blend evidence-based tools like CBT, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care to help you move forward with clarity and confidence. Whether you're navigating anxiety, trauma, addiction, or a major life transition, I’ll meet you where you are and walk alongside you with compassion, honesty, and expertise. If you’re ready for real change—not just symptom relief—I invite you to reach out. You don’t have to do this alone.
