I am a psychologist with 17 years of experience. I have had two thriving practices, first serving clients in the Los Angeles film industry, now working with adult individuals and couples in downtown Boulder. I am intent on helping my clients overcome their suffering, become better regulated and achieve greater authenticity.

My expertise is in psychoanalytic therapy, interpersonal neurobiology (the study of relationships, the mind and the brain), and positive psychology.

I incorporate powerful tools such as Brainspotting, EMDR, and mindfulness practice into our work to help you to move through emotionally charged issues and make lasting changes.

In addition to providing psychotherapy, I offer business coaching to professionals.

Feel free to call me for a complimentary 15 minute consultation.

At Boulder Integrated Counseling, we understand that it can be difficult for parents to know how to support their child when they're struggling and that taking the first step to finding the right support can be overwhelming. MaryAnn McGinnis, NCC and Jennifer Melvin, LCSW are a team of Licensed Psychotherapists and School Counselors who together have over 30 years of experience working with youth ages 11-19. Drawing on our training in counseling psychology and education, we bring our expertise to helping you and your child develop the critical skills needed to navigate these complex times. Our approach is grounded in a unique combination of exploring, strengthening, and promoting emotional and academic growth. We create a safe space for our clients to engage in therapy to gain insight and develop tools to live a more balanced life.

I specialize in working with active-duty military, veterans, first responders and their families. I also work with those who wish to find meaning, recovery and integration after trauma.

One of my gifts is being able to see a person’s light even when they cannot see it themselves. If you find yourself blocked from your own inner-wisdom and light, I’m here to help. I am a guide for exploring the inner wilderness, reflecting light into the dark places. I profoundly believe in the wisdom of the body, the healing power of the wilderness, and moving through feelings to touch into what we truly want in life. I have a background in wilderness therapy, bilingual social justice counseling, eating disorder treatment, conscious embodiment, and women’s empowerment. I currently offer virtual and nature-based sessions. I also facilitate groups and retreats focused on connection to self, others, and the world.

I look forward to connecting with your light!
