When life no longer fits the story you've been living.
Therapy for Individuals, Couples and Polycules In Colorado
Sex-Positive • LGBTQIA+ Affirming • Kink-Aware • ENM-Informed
A place to explore your relationships, identity, and experiences in a space grounded in curiosity, respect, and understanding.
Why do we keep returning to patterns that no longer reflect who we are or who we're becoming?
What parts of ourselves have we hidden, neglected, or never fully explored?
How might our lives change if we approached those questions with curiosity rather than judgment?
I am interested in the stories people tell themselves about who they are, where they belong, and how they should live. I welcome conversations about identity, mental health, relationships, sexuality, kink, ethical non-monogamy, polyamory, and the questions that arise when life no longer fits the script we thought we were supposed to follow.
Our work doesn't begin with you having to explain your identity, sexuality or relationship structure. It begins with simply getting to know you.
Every person's story is unique. Whether you're navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, intimacy concerns, parenting, identity exploration, alternative relationships, kink or life transitions, therapy offers a space to understand yourself with greater compassion and intention.
You'll find more information about each area of practice below.
Individual Therapy
Understanding yourself changes every relationship you have—including the one you have with yourself.
Explore issues around anxiety, depression, identity, life transitions, perfectionism, self-esteem, relationships, emotional well-being and the patterns that shape how you move through the world.
Intentional Parenting
Children don't need perfect parents. They need parents who are willing to pay attention, stay curious, repair disconnection and grow.
Parenting often brings our own histories and family traumas into focus. Therapy can help you respond with intention rather than reaction while strengthening your connection with your child.
Alternative Relationships
Relationships don't have to fit one model to be healthy.
Explore communication, creating intentional agreements, navigating jealousy, strengthening trust, and deepening connection within polyamory, ethical non-monogamy, open relationships, and other alternative relationship structures.
Relationship Therapy
Relationships ask us to grow in ways we rarely expect.
Whether you're navigating conflict, rebuilding trust, strengthening communication, reigniting intimacy or simply wanting to understand one another more deeply, therapy offers space to explore the relationship you're creating together.
Sex Therapy
Sexuality is deeply connected to how we experience ourselves and our relationships.
Explore sexual health and pleasure, intimacy and desire, identity, performance anxiety, kink, ethical non-monogamy, and relationships in a space where curiosity is welcomed and conversations can unfold at your own pace.
Kink-Affirming Therapy
Relationships are diverse, and so are the dynamics that shape them.
Explore kink, power exchange, consent, communication, identity, and diverse relationship dynamics in a space grounded in curiosity and affirmation, whether you're exploring these parts of yourself or navigating complex relationship dynamics.
I believe therapy begins with understanding.
Every person brings unique history, relationships, strengths, and questions into therapy. Rather than beginning with assumptions, I want to understand your experience and the meaning it holds for you.
Sometimes our work focuses on understanding long-standing patterns. Sometimes it involves building new skills, strengthening relationships, or finding new ways of responding to life's challenges. Whatever brings you here, our work is collaborative, thoughtful, and grounded in curiosity.
I work with adults, couples, and polycules seeking thoughtful, affirming therapy. Clients come to NOS Counseling for support with anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, intimacy, parenting, identity exploration, consensual non-monogamy, and kink-affirming care. Whether you live in Denver, Cherry Creek, Colorado Springs, Fort Collins, Boulder, or elsewhere in Colorado, therapy can provide a space to slow down, reflect, and move toward the life and relationships you want to build.
Testimonials
"My identity and my kinks were not things Kaia tolerated, they were things she could meet me in, with real understanding and warmth. For the first time, opening up did not feel risky or misunderstood. It felt welcome. That changes everything about what her therapy did for me, because I stopped “managing” the therapist and started doing the work." -S.
"She consistently balances the space for me to verbally process while also holding me accountable and focused on growth, not rumination. I cannot recommend her highly enough and am grateful for the continued time working together." -C.
"I have been seeing Kaia regularly for many years. With her help, I have tackled issues and fears I had previously not even been able to allow myself to think about. Every session I feel respected and supported. She is compassionate and knowledgeable and I genuinely look forward to each of our sessions even if I know we might be covering uncomfortable territory." -L.
Getting Started
Beginning therapy doesn't have to feel overwhelming. You don't have to know exactly what you're looking for before reaching out. Whether you have a specific concern or simply know that something isn't working the way you'd like, our first conversation is a chance to explore what brings you here and whether we're a good fit.
1. Schedule a free consultation
We'll spend about 20 minutes talking about what brings you here, answering your questions, and determining whether we're a good fit. I am only licensed to see people for therapy within the state of Colorado.
2. Complete your intake paperwork
If we decide to work together, I'll send you a secure online intake packet to review and complete before your first session. You'll also receive access to a secure client portal where you can manage upcoming appointments as needed.
3. Begin therapy
Our first session is an opportunity to get to know one another, explore your goals, and begin understanding the questions or concerns that brought you here.
