My name is Josie and I am an individual, couples, and family therapist, an adjunct professor in Social Work, and a clinical supervisor for Social Workers and Counselors in Colorado! I specialize and run a group practice that focuses on working with folks who experience marginalization due to their identities by helping them understand/work through their identity-based and relationship trauma.
