I consider the foundation of good therapy to rest on a warm, trusting and collaborative relationship between therapist and client. Together we will work to better understand the issues bringing you to therapy and explore ways in which you can both gain more personal insight and improve your life. My goal is to provide individualized psychotherapy treatment that is integrative, holistic, and strength-based. I recognize that starting therapy takes courage and I therefore work to foster a therapy space where you are truly and authentically heard and valued.

I enjoy working with individuals, couples and families across the lifespan and have experience helping those who are navigating issues of trauma, social/emotional concerns, grief and loss, relational issues, issues related to chronic pain and/or health conditions, and those who are interested in a greater sense of self understanding. I also have specific experience working in hospital settings with people with medical conditions including those with oncological and neurological diagnoses.

Shaye Sakos graduated with a PsyD in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis in child and adolescent psychology from Adler University in Chicago, Illinois. She has provided individual, couples, and group therapy, and psychological evaluations, within inpatient, intensive outpatient, and private practice settings. She has experience working with individuals of all ages, and particularly enjoys working with emerging young adults as they navigate change and identity development. 

Hear more from Shaye:

My approach to therapy is characterized by encouragement and genuine curiosity. I believe in the innate resilience of my clients, and I strive to support them in the telling of their stories. I believe therapy best works when therapist and client build real relationships and work together to co-construct meaning. I work from the assumption that our early experiences inform the process of becoming the people we are. Humans re-enact old rituals, and some emotions feel familiar while others are pushed so far away that we convince ourselves they are nonexistent. I believe that by learning to truly be with the great pains and the great joys of life, and to engage with curiosity and self-compassion, therapy can be a space which supports people to utilize the resources they already hold but have been unable to access.

Grief work is one of my passions. I believe grief is a part of human life that applies to experiences beyond the death of a loved one. For example, I enjoy working with bereavement, anticipatory grief, relational grief, and grief related to loss and change. Additional clinical interests include psychological assessment, issues of identity, trauma, anxiety, and mood disorders. I practice from a trauma-informed, relational, psychodynamic approach. I have completed training for EMDR and eager to integrate this into my work with clients.

I believe that the relationship between therapist and client can in-and-of-itself be a catalyst for change.

To this end, I encourage the use of self-compassion and curiosity to gain insight into the interaction between your past experiences and current concerns.

CJ’s perspective and practice of therapy is to assist you in not just changing current behavior surrounding issues but in understanding where they stem from, making sense of them, and integrating the past with the present. This can create long-term behavioral and emotional shifts that assist you in leading a more meaningful life. In doing so, he intends to create a space for you to be your most authentic self as you delve into the challenges you might be facing.

Emily earned her doctoral degree in clinical psychology from the University of Denver.  She completed her Doctoral Internship at Bright Future Foundation in Eagle County, Colorado, specializing in treating individuals impacted by sexual assault, domestic violence, and relational trauma.  She received her Master of Arts in International Disaster Psychology, a clinical degree with an emphasis in trauma treatment and global mental health from the University of Denver in 2019. She has a wide range of experiences working in non-profit and community mental health settings, working with adults who have experienced generational patterns of trauma, domestic violence, childhood abuse, grief and loss, and substance misuse. Emily also has a background in maternal mental health, primarily working with single mothers. In addition to therapy, Emily is passionate about therapeutic assessment and its ability to help foster client insight and self-understanding.

Hear more from Emily:

The therapeutic space I strive to create alongside my clients is rooted in relational and humanistic-existential modalities. In short, this means I believe that the unique relationship formed in the therapeutic space can provide the safety and security needed for clients to feel seen and valued, while able to express emotionality that may not have always been welcomed, accepted, or nurtured within other relationships or different chapters of their lives. Within this reparative space, I believe clients can become more in touch with their values and begin to understand themselves in a more adaptive and authentic way. In therapy, we have the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding as to how trauma and other forms of adversity may have shaped our beliefs about ourselves, relationships, and the world that no longer serve us or hinder our ability to find meaning within our often chaotic and unpredictable lives. While my work and training has been heavily focused on relational trauma, I also have a passion for working with individuals going through large life changes, from becoming a parent or caregiver, to grieving the loss of a loved one. Allowing these complex yet universal experiences of the human experience to be held and witnessed within the therapy space can be incredibly healing, and I find it to be an honor to work alongside my clients to make sense of their stories and sense of self through therapeutic and assessment approaches.

I believe that meaningful change happens in the context of a safe, collaborative therapeutic relationship. I bring warmth, curiosity, and deep respect for your lived experience into the therapy room, creating a nonjudgemental space where you can explore who you are and what you need - at your own pace.

David is currently working toward his Doctorate in Psychology at DU. He received an MA in Clinical Psychology from the University of Denver in 2024, and both a BA from San Diego State University in Social Science with an emphasis in Environmental Studies in 2009, and a BA from Portland State University in Psychology in 2019. David works with individuals ages 13 and up and provides couples therapy at AGF. He specializes in trauma, assessment and has worked with many people in substance abuse recovery.

Hear more from David:

I believe life is about relationships. I believe that much of the hurt and difficulty that comes from navigating our time on this earth occurs within the context of the people around us. I believe that growth and healing are also relational, and this journey is made easier when there is someone there to hold our hand, walk with us into the scary places, and help us shine a light in the darkness. When therapy is centered on relationships and approached from a place of compassion and nonjudgmental understanding, amazing things can happen. It can seem impossible to see to the heart of things when we are right in the middle of them, and good therapy can provide what I think of as a new pair of glasses; a new lens to look at our relationships with others, with the world, and with ourselves. When this happens, it becomes less about fixing what is broken and more about realizing how our rough edges match up beautifully with the rough edges of those around us.

I enjoy working with clients who are seeking to explore the patterns in their lives that don’t seem to be working anymore and who desire to discover where these patterns came from, what they served, and how they can develop new ones that move them toward what’s most important to them. This rarely happens on a purely intellectual level, and I love working with clients who are open to exploring how to bridge the gap between their head and their heart.

 Isi completed a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Naropa University in Boulder, CO in 2025, specializing in the Somatic Counseling; Body Psychotherapy program. She received a BA in International Studies from Indiana University Bloomington in 2019.

Hear more from Isi:

I believe the body contains the wisdom and tools we need to heal our wounds, create new patterns and support personal growth. As a somatic therapist, I support you in bringing awareness to what is happening in your body as we explore the story of your lived experience together. 

You will be gently guided in exploring movement, breath and bringing attention to physical sensation, slowly bridging the gap between your thoughts, emotions and body. This approach allows you to more deeply understand your nervous system, reconnect with your body’s natural capacity for healing, and develop a deeper sense of wholeness within yourself.

My approach is grounded in my experience working with individuals navigating the complexities of complex trauma, attachment wounds and identity development from a body-centered perspective. I draw from the field of Body Psychotherapy, Authentic Movement, attachment theory, parts work, yoga and mindfulness practices. 

I consider the relationship between the client and therapist to be the foundation of the therapeutic work, and strive to cultivate a space that feels safe-enough to explore your inner world together.

I am committed to cultivating a culturally sensitive space for clients to explore the ways in which their identities inform their lived experience and serve as wellsprings of resilience, strength, and empowerment. I believe in holding a social justice orientation to therapy and am passionately affirming of LGBTQIA identities, BIPOC identities, ENM and polyamorous relationships in my work.

I believe therapy can be one of the few places where you don’t have to hold everything together. I aim to create a space where we can slow down together, where your feelings are accepted, and your story is treated with care. My experience has been shaped by serving people in various settings, including community-based care, hospital support for chronic illness and grief, and assessment-focused roles, which have strengthened my commitment to a thoughtful, collaborative approach. I am currently finishing my training at a nonprofit that helps individuals affected by interpersonal violence, and much of my work emphasizes culturally responsive care for Latinx/immigrant and monolingual Spanish-speaking clients. Throughout these experiences, what has remained constant is my passion for walking alongside clients as they find meaning in what they have lived through and what they hope to do next.

At Ardent Grove, I aim to work mainly with adults and adolescents aged 15 and older of all genders and identities. I am especially interested in supporting clients dealing with trauma-related stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, identity, relationship and family tensions, grief and loss, caregiver stress, and major life changes, including issues related to immigration and acculturation. My approach is trauma-informed and contextual, combining evidence-based tools (such as ACT, DBT, and CBT-informed techniques) with a relational, values-centered style. This enables our work to include practical skills like emotion regulation, self-compassion, and coping strategies, as well as deeper reflection on patterns, beliefs, and relationships. I typically offer individual therapy and, when appropriate, incorporate assessment-informed care—such as strengths-based understanding and treatment planning—to help clients feel more grounded, empowered, and connected to a life that feels authentic to them.

I believe that therapy is a collaborative process rooted in trust, safety, and mutual understanding. I strive to create a space where clients feel seen, heard, and empowered to explore their experiences with curiosity and self-compassion. I value the power of corrective emotional experiences in fostering healing and growth, helping clients challenge old patterns and build new ways of relating to themselves and others.

Drawing from an individualized, integrative approach, I tailor therapy to each client’s unique needs, incorporating techniques from CBT to challenge negative outlooks and psychodynamic perspectives to explore how past experiences shape present struggles. Through this collaborative process, I help clients deepen insight, cultivate resilience, and create meaningful change. I have experience working with individuals and couples who struggle with anxiety, depression, complex trauma, effective communication, life transitions, and low self-esteem. I am especially passionate about working with people of diverse backgrounds who have experienced identity-related stress.

Hear more from Ash: 

I see the therapeutic process as truly sacred, which is why I aspire to offer a relationship with you that aims for nothing short of transformation and healing. Our work should feel creative, experiential, and nuanced— whenever this is not the case and we might stray from one another, I make a commitment to address these lapses alongside you. For therapy to be worthwhile, I believe I must create a space for us to be fully engaged with one another, even when the vulnerability and depth of this might feel daunting. This way of being with yourself and with others is a learned skill and lifelong practice. As your therapist, it’s my responsibility to stay connected and assured so the fear and loneliness of entering this territory starts to loosen its grip. My hope is our work will open a relationship with yourself that lets you finally exhale, let go, and come home.

Hear more from Alisa:

My relationship to this work is grounded in a deep commitment to empathy, curiosity, and genuine understanding. Across diverse experiences, I have found that meaningful connection, especially across lines of difference, begins with an approach rooted in sincere curiosity and a desire to understand one another within the full context of our identities, relationships, and social worlds. I view culture and environment not as background details, but as central forces shaping how we move through the world.

In our work together, I hope to support you in building a more compassionate and grounded relationship with yourself. I see empathy as an active, intentional practice—something we strengthen over time. I aspire to bring that commitment into every session and strive to create a space where you can explore your experiences with honesty and openness, and where we can collaboratively clarify what you need, value, and what supports your growth. My aim is to help you approach yourself and your life with greater clarity, intention, and self-trust. I recognize that coming to therapy can feel vulnerable, and I deeply value the trust it takes to explore that openness together.
