Therapist, Boulder
Clare Sullivan, MA, LPCC
Clare has had a love for children since a very young age when she would help to take care of her younger sister and her friends during play dates. Over the years, she has explored careers in Baking and Pastry, Hospitality, and Customer Service, but has been repeatedly led back to working with children in capacities including teaching at a preschool, nannying, and babysitting. She is now proud to be a Play Therapist where she can continue to support and encourage growth and development in many children. Clare's therapeutic approach to working with children centers around encouraging each child to embrace their full and authentic self; exploring and developing a deep understanding of self and their world, and helping them develop an appreciation and love for all parts of themselves.
Lizzy White, MA, LPCC
Lead Therapist, Westminster
I specialize in working not only with children who need emotional support, but parents committed to deepening their relationship with their kiddo(s). My expertise not only comes from being a child once and struggling with the day-to-day challenges children face, but from the journey life decided to take me on. From providing direct care for teens facing abandonment and grief to supporting at-risk children struggling with anxiety and depression, I am capable of meeting the child where they intend to be met. My patience, empathy, and compassion are what devote me to this work and drive me to understand what may be leading the behavior. When we build awareness and lean toward understanding our children’s behaviors, we can learn to accept — leading us toward change and connection.

Kristina Works, MA, MFTC
Therapist, Westminster
Kristina believes the best way to a child’s heart and soul is through play and children thrive best when they feel unconditionally loved and understood. Kristina's approach to working with children involves creating a safe, playful environment for them to truly be their own unique, authentic selves. She respects each child’s autonomy and ability to express big emotions. Kristina strategically teaches children emotional awareness and how to cope. They say “it takes a village to raise a child” and as a family therapist, she wholeheartedly agrees with this sentiment. As such, she coordinates with the caretaker(s) of the child to communicate observations noticed in our work together so that they can continue to further work with the child on goals at home.

Therapist, Boulder
Morgan Pertzborn
Morgan’s experience working with kids began when she became an older sister at 5 years old and eventually found work as a preschool teacher before finding her way to graduate school. She currently is completing her Master’s Degree in Mindfulness-Based Transpersonal Counseling. Meeting children where they are comes naturally to Morgan, incorporating a blend of creative processing and logical reasoning, which she channels through her ADHD and autism diagnoses. She believes in teaching children a similar blend at a level they resonate with to cultivate self-awareness and social-emotional understanding. In her free time, Morgan finds comfort in her spirituality, mindfulness through art, spending time with her cat and dog, and adventuring in nature on hiking and camping trips.
