Julia Hunter
Greetings! I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Colorado for the past 20+ years. I earned a master’s degree in Social Work from the University of Denver in 1996 and have over 27 years of counseling experience. I worked in a variety of clinical settings with a diverse population dealing with many different conditions and difficulties before establishing my private practice in in 2008. My experience includes working with depression, anxiety, trauma, grief/loss, life transitions, stress management and relationship issues. My belief is that all humans have the innate potential to heal, change and grow. But sometimes knowing where and how to begin can be a challenge. There is an intricate mind/body connection and often people experience physical manifestations from mental/emotional stress and dis-ease. My objective is to help bring back balance and harmony to the whole person mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. My approach is collaborative, integrative, and holistic. I want to partner with you to find the solutions to whatever issues bring you to therapy at this time. I tailor my approach to meet your unique needs, goals, and desired outcomes. I will work to help you recognize and enhance your strengths as well as help you develop skills to navigate life with more resilience and flexibility to enhance the quality and experience of your life. My approach is informed by Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Energy Psychology including Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) Tapping, and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction. Change is Inevitable~ Growth is Intentional~

Shirley Williams
I am a State of Colorado licensed Mental Health provider and have been for nearly 30 years. I grew up in Michigan and attended Wayne State University achieving a BA in Psychology and a MSW. Early on in my career, I enrolled in a 2-year Intensive Family Therapy program at what was then The Ann Arbor Center for the Family. It was at the exciting time when Family Systems Therapy had just revealed itself to the profession. I completed that program and many other advanced trainings throughout the years. Many of the clients I have served throughout the years have found me through my work in health care, hospice, schools, foster care and adoption, pregnancy services, serving the disabled and their caregivers including their animal caregivers. In the year 2000 I completed a 1000 hour Massage Therapy Program at The Boulder College of Massage Therapy. Soon after I became nationally certified in Massage & Bodywork Therapy and State of Colorado licensed. My dual careers have allowed me to practice from a Somatic perspective with a trauma-sensitive focus. Several years ago, as an EMDR therapist, I discovered The Flash Technique and have been finding my clients are responding well to this in trauma resolution therapy. Needless to say, I love learning and I’ve accumulated a variety of expressive art tools I sometimes use in my sessions. Clients often learn the therapeutic value of sound therapy, dance & movement therapy, clay therapy and I introduce them in my virtual sessions and in-person sessions. My greatest gift in all my life has been the ability to embrace my innate curiosity and express it to help others.
