Humanizing the mental health experience
The mission of Ampaw Psychotherapy & Consulting is to provide individuals, couples, families, and professionals comprehensive options to work through and dismantle the inequities and oppression they experience in our world from a strengths-based and culturally informed lens with a therapist in Denver.
We believe in creating healing and calm spaces that ground us, just like the cleansing experience we can gain from the ocean.
“Apartheid either is or is not. And it must not be.”

Our Approach
Are you looking for therapists of color and therapists in Colorado who celebrate your cultural wealth and understand the lived experiences in your relationships or family?
What would It be like to have therapists who understand firsthand the trauma marginalized communities face?
If you have thought of these questions, then search no more! As therapists, we can work together to create goals and answer these questions for you!
It is most important to us that we are ongoing learners of your story. It matters to discuss what your life’s journey has been like so far, and what led you to start your therapy search and journey. We meet you where you are and support you from a strengths-based perspective. In other words, we start with what already works!
Along with building trust and getting to know you, It is so important to our team that your story is the foundation of what we do together. Whether you are coming alone, with members of your community, or sharing your area of specialty, it is essential that we are grounded in the history and cultural wealth that has got you this point. As we go on, we will use many different strategies to further tap into your strengths so you can show up in the world in your most authentic way!
