Therapy for Dads in Boulder, CO: Why Fathers Deserve Support Too
Why therapy specifically for dads?
As a dad to two young kids (ages 3 and 1), I understand firsthand how intense and identity-shifting fatherhood can be. Over the past few years, I’ve been working, finishing my master’s degree, maintaining a marriage, and trying to stay socially connected — all while navigating the relentless demands of parenting. Before becoming a therapist, I was a filmmaker. But when my wife and I got pregnant with our first child, something in me shifted. I knew I had to get my “ass into gear,” as a friend once put it — and that meant reorienting my life toward something deeper. I followed the pull toward this work, not just as a career change, but as a calling rooted in fatherhood itself. That's why I offer therapy for dads in Boulder, CO — and via telehealth across Colorado — as a core part of my practice.
When a dad comes to therapy for the first time, the most important thing I do is simply listen and witness him. Early parenthood is often centered around the mother–baby dyad — and rightly so — but dads can get left behind, emotionally and relationally. I know this personally. I often become a dad’s first point of mental and emotional care. I ask how he’s sleeping, how he’s eating, how he’s actually coping. Together, we explore what’s surfaced in this massive life transition — and we often go deeper, doing inner-child work to connect with the part of him that may be feeling unseen or neglected. This opens up healing not just for the dad, but often for the whole family system.
Therapy with dads often becomes a space of reparenting — of walking back toward the boy inside who also needed support. In the words of Ram Dass, "We're all walking each other home." I'm honored to walk with the fathers who find their way to this work.
Whether you're a new dad navigating the identity shift of early parenthood, a father feeling disconnected from your partner or yourself, or simply a man who's been carrying things quietly for too long — this work is for you. Men's counseling in Boulder doesn't have to look like traditional therapy. Here, it looks like finally having a space to say what's actually true.
