Kara Shaw, LCSW Blending EMDR, mindfulness, and psychotherapy into personalized therapeutic services throughout the Denver metro area

It is my purpose to guide others toward their innate capacity for growth and wholeness. Asking for help in navigating life struggles is both a vulnerable and courageous step in your own self-care. Through the secure base of the therapeutic partnership, I can assist you in discovering how to live with a greater sense of calmness, presence, confidence, meaning and connection in daily life. Using a holistic framework, I creatively blend expertise in clinical social work, trauma recovery, and mind-body therapies into my work with clients. All levels of experience- mental, physical, emotional, relational, and spiritual can be doorways into each person’s unique healing and recovery process. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and families seeking support with the following:

Traumatic Experiences
Life Transitions
Relationship Issues
Attachment
Wellness Enhancement
Identity
Grief/Loss
Gender and Sexuality
Career
Panic
Self-esteem
Communication
Stress/Anxiety
Depression
Anger and emotional reactivity
Seaparation anxiety
Self-care
Healthy Boundaries

I too have a always loved this piece of Brene Brown’s parenting manifesto and have used it as a guidepost for both parenting and my work as a therapist. If only we could all receive this kind of grounded presence, from others and ourselves

"One of the greatest blocks to loving kindness is our own sense of unworthiness. If we leave ourselves out of the circle of love and compassion, we have misunderstood."
