Meet My Intern!
This is Clay~ she's rather cool...
Since I'm full-up with my case load, Clay is available to see new clients. She's practicing under my direct supervision and is able to accept most insurances, through our partnership with Paonia Psychotherapy, with the exception of Medicare. Here's what she has to say about herself:
​
I am currently completing my master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Wake Forest University. My work is grounded in curiosity, compassion, and collaboration. I strive to create a space where clients feel genuinely heard, accepted, and supported as we explore both present challenges and the deeper patterns that may be shaping their lives.
​
I especially enjoy working with children, adolescents, and adults navigating anxiety, trauma, grief, life transitions, ADHD, relationship concerns, and emotional overwhelm. My work is trauma-informed and influenced by psychodynamic, attachment-based, and mindfulness-oriented perspectives, while also incorporating practical skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).
I believe lasting change often begins with greater self-understanding, paired with practical tools that help us respond to life’s challenges with greater flexibility and intention. I also believe that connection with the natural world can offer perspective, grounding, and opportunities for healing.
Services
Individual counseling, family support, mental health consultation and more
Counseling Sessions
These sessions are 60-90 minutes long, depending on your needs. If you feel like you need some extra care, are driving from far away and want to get the most out of your session, or are wanting to engage in an EMDR standard protocol session, 90 minutes will fit better for you. Sessions are offered in-person in The Harvester Building (Suite109) in Paonia, CO, or virtually where ever you are at. These sessions are done through my work with Paonia Psychotherapy.
(And yes, EMDR can be done online!)
Harm-Reduction and Integration for Psilocybin
The use of psilocybin has been legalized for mental health in the State of Colorado! I want to be here to help you on both ends of your experience to reduce the risk of harm and to integrate your experience. This project is alongside other professionals, including AyD, Gwen Diaz to provide a safe, caring and educated experience.

Mental Health Consultation
Are you trying to develop a program with an emphasis on mental health, or do you already have a program that you want to fold mental health aspects into? Maybe you are an educator looking to address mental health in the classroom or running a business and looking for effective ways to address mental health with employees. I've worked on teams to help with grant writing, program development and intervention brainstorming.
My Qualifications
My name is Nina. I graduated from Northwestern University in Evanston, IL in 2021 with a master's in clinical mental health counseling and an emphasis in children and adolescents.

I'm trained in and have been practicing EMDR since 2021 and have specialized training for domestic violence from the Colorado Coalition Against Domestic Violence.
