I’m Kyrzia Parker (she/her), MSW, LCSW, CDWF and I hold a Masters Degree in Social Work from the University of Denver. I have worked with a variety of clients who have struggled with ongoing mental health concerns and specializes with those currently struggling with shame, anxiety, trauma and depression.

I am trained in EMDR and a Certified Daring Way Facilitator (CDWF). The Daring Way is an empirically based training and certification program for helping professionals, based on the research of Dr. Brené Brown. The work focuses on courage building, shame resilience, and uncovering the power of vulnerability. I also work with couples, families, anxiety, depression, trauma, spirituality / religion, and queer issues. I utilize a variety of theoretical orientations to help my clients achieve their individual goals, but lean towards Person Centered Therapy. In addition, I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Brief Solution Focused, Narrative Therapy, and other modalities to provide an individualistic therapeutic experience.

Therapy is not a one size fits all journey. I believe in looking not only at the person or couple in therapy, but the various systems that impact that person on both the micro and macro scale. Furthermore, I am also an experienced school social worker, crisis evaluator, and clinical supervisor open to working with those seeking licensure in the mental health field.

I am a white, straight, cis-gendered woman, who is bilingual and a second generation American. I identify as an ally to marginalized communities. Disclosing identities is a helpful way to be transparent and acknowledge how someone shows up in the world.
