Registered Family Therapist
Dr. Maren Holloway
PhD, Registered Psychotherapist (CO DORA)
Maren has spent 14 years helping parents and children rebuild after high-conflict custody battles. She believes the courtroom is not the only place truth lives. Her practice blends attachment-focused therapy with practical court-process literacy — so clients leave each session steadier, not just heard. Maren writes the kind of progress notes that hold up under scrutiny and trains other counselors on how to do the same. She works nationwide via secure telehealth and sees a small in-person caseload from her Denver office.
Forensic Family Psychologist
Dr. Elena Brooks
PsyD, Registered Psychologist (CO DORA)
Elena reviews custody evaluations and helps parents understand the language the court speaks in — and where it fails them. She has served as a consulting expert in more than two hundred Colorado family-court cases and trains attorneys on how to read between the lines of a CFI/PRE report. Sessions are dense, prepared, and designed for parents who need to walk into a hearing knowing exactly what their own report does and does not say. In-person consultations from Aurora; telehealth available for prep and follow-up.
Child & Adolescent Counselor
Priya Anand
MA, Registered Psychotherapist (CO DORA)
Priya holds space for the kids no one is listening to. She turns crayon and silence into language a court can finally hear. With twelve years of play-therapy training and a background in school psychology, she works with children ages four through fifteen who are being interviewed by evaluators, asked to choose, or quietly carrying the weight of a parent's pain. Sessions are unhurried, low-stim, and designed so the child leaves feeling lighter — not assessed. In-person from her Boulder studio; telehealth available for follow-up sessions and parent consults.
Trauma-Informed Coach
Marcus Reed
MA, CCTP (Certified Clinical Trauma Professional)
Marcus survived a four-year custody war. Now he coaches parents through the parts of the system that pretend they aren't broken. His sessions are structured, calm, and ruthlessly practical — what to file, what to log, what to leave alone — paired with somatic grounding work designed for people whose bodies have spent years on alert. He is not a registered psychotherapist and does not diagnose; his work pairs cleanly alongside a therapist on your team. Telehealth only, with evening slots reserved for working parents.
Court-Ordered Counseling Specialist
Jordan Vance
MSW, Registered Psychotherapist (CO DORA)
Jordan works specifically with parents navigating court mandates. Direct, non-judgmental, and ferociously protective of the child's voice. Before private practice, Jordan spent six years inside a county family-services division and watched how reports were written, weighed, and weaponised. That insider lens shapes every session: clear scope-of-confidentiality conversations on day one, plain-language reframes of what a judge is looking for, and weekly check-ins that meet you where your nervous system actually is. Telehealth only, available nationwide.
Family Mediator & Counselor
Samuel Okafor
MA, Registered Psychotherapist (CO DORA)
Samuel works with families to find paths the court never offered. Calm, structured, deeply unbiased. He holds dual training in narrative therapy and family-systems mediation, and is one of the few practitioners in Colorado who will sit with both parents in the same room when it is safe to do so. When it is not, he runs parallel parent-to-parent communication coaching that keeps the child off the relay line. Telehealth nationwide; limited in-person sessions held in Denver and Colorado Springs.
