Sarah Fowler

Licensed Professional Counselor ( LPC), EMDR, ADS, BST

I work with individuals of all ages to address concerns ranging from depression, anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, PTSD. A majority of individuals I see reach out because they have tried to address these issues by using other means and have not been as successful as they had hoped. They are able to work through these and other issues to find a place of healing, balance and direction.

My experience includes working with a rang of individuals in the mental health field working with a range of individuals from young children to older adults. I have very specific trauma related training including EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) certification and have several years of experience working with complex trauma cases.

Ami Gorsky-Zabukovic

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, ADS, BST (Brain Synchronization Therapy), OSW-C

In my 27 years of providing counseling in both medical and private sectors I am firm in my belief that we all have the knowledge and ability to address the stresses that life can throw at us. However, sometimes because of extenuating circumstances our vision can become cloudy and we can lose our way. I work with individuals of all ages while practicing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to reinforce the importance of healthy coping skills and problem-solving skills. I have received specialized certifications in grief/loss and traumatic loss in addition to figuring out how to maintain a life while managing a chronic illness or potentially life limiting diagnosis.

Candace Brandenburg

Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), ATR (Registered Art Therapist)

I work with individuals, from early adolescence to late adulthood, to address life transitions, anxiety, depression, trauma, abuse, LGBTQ+ issues, self-image and self-esteem and grief. Through my career, I have conducted art therapy within the public school system, treatment communities, senior care communities, correctional facilities and within domestic violence shelters.

I specialize in art therapy, directive and studio based, to help clients reach their therapeutic goals. I utilize behavioral techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavioral therapy. My approach overall is eclectic, pulling from Gestalt, Jungian and psycho-dynamic theories as well. My personal approach is humanistic, offering a supportive atmosphere, creative discovery, authenticity and a person-centered experience.

SWC, BST, ADS

I am currently pursuing my LCSW have worked with mental health in several capacities including at the Dorcy Cancer Center.  I am comfortable working with individuals of all ages to address issues ranging from anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss related issues and phase of life stressors and transitions.  Being able to identify and empathize with individuals is a quality I bring into all sessions while we work together to form a plan to best address your needs.  Brain Synchronization Therapy is one technique I use to address these individual needs through a process that is similar to EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing).  I also believe that treating the whole individual and addressing all needs is best practice to making effective and lasting changes.

Cassandra Moores

BSSW

I recently graduated in May 2025 with my Bachelor of Science in Social Work (BSSW) from Metropolitan State University of Denver. Among a select few students, I was granted admission into the Advanced Standing Master of Social Work (MSW) program at MSU Denver which I started this past June and am continuing Fall 2025 and Spring 2026. My professional experience includes working at the Colorado State Mental Health Institute at Pueblo, where I assisted individuals in developing life skills and managing anger, as well as several years in hospice and home healthcare, where I supported clients and families facing PTSD, depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, and loss. I am trained in Brain Synchronization Therapy (BST) and am working toward incorporating Animal-Assisted Therapy (AAT) into my future practice. My approach to social work is rooted in compassion, collaboration, and a strong belief in the importance of trauma-informed, culturally responsive care. I am passionate about empowering individuals to recognize their strengths, build resilience, and foster healing in ways that honor their unique experiences. I believe growth happens not just for clients but also for practitioners, and I am committed to continuing my own learning and development as I work alongside clinicians and community members. My dedication extends beyond professional goals; I view social work as a calling to serve, support, and uplift individuals and families during some of their most challenging times. I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where clients feel heard, understood, and respected. As I continue my education and practice, I am excited to bring new skills, innovative approaches, and heartfelt dedication to the people and communities I serve.

Allison Robinson

Master’s Intern

I am a graduate student in Mental Health Counseling at Northwestern University, expected to complete my degree in December 2026. I’m passionate about supporting individuals through the perinatal journey–including fertility challenges, pregnancy loss, postpartum adjustment, and the identity shifts that often come with being a parent

In addition to working with adults, I also find so much meaning in helping children and adolescents feel seen, heard, and safe–especially during times when their world may feel confusing or overwhelming. Supporting both parents and children during transitional life stages allows me to approach family care with empathy and perspective.

I aim to create a supportive, nonjudgemental environment where clients can explore the emotional complexity of these seasons–whether they’re navigating grief, anxiety, or simply trying to reconnect with themselves in the midst of caring for others.

Outside of work, I enjoy all things outdoors, traveling, trying new restaurants, and taking moments to connect with myself.
