FEATURED THERAPISTS

Sasha SilbermanMSW, LSW
As a Licensed Social Worker with a Master’s in Social Work from the Graduate School of Social Work at the University of Denver, I specialize in helping individuals of all ages – children, adolescents, and adults – to navigate a wide range of challenges including trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship dynamics, dating, family issues, life transitions, and work-related stress.

Based on my belief that every person is deserving of safety and acceptance, I create a therapeutic environment that is affirming, empathetic, and collaborative. My approach blends the warmth of humor and compassion with the structure of trauma-focused, client-centered principles. I draw on evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Play Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Client-Centered techniques, and mindfulness strategies to help clients uncover their strengths, clarify their values, and achieve their goals.

I am bilingual in English and Spanish which allows me to offer therapy that is sensitive to and respectful of the diverse backgrounds of individuals. My expertise in cross-cultural communication – honed through years of living and working abroad – enhances my ability to connect meaningfully with clients from a variety of cultures. Having a skilled therapist in a world that at times feels complex and unpredictable can offer the stability and guidance needed to navigate life’s ups and downs. Reach out to see if we’re a good match.

Tony GoffrediMSW, SWC
My biggest goal is to build a positive therapeutic relationship with every client by providing a safe, nonjudgmental space to share their struggles. I am a Licensed Addiction Counselor and Social Work Candidate with a focus on strengths-based foundational work and mindfulness techniques. I was awarded a Master of Social Work from the University of Denver and have experience working with anxiety, depression, substance use, and PTSD. I use humor, reasoning, and compassion to clarify clients’ needs, goals, and challenges.
I specialize in working with folks 18 and older who are feeling weighed down by analysis paralysis, low self-confidence, and utilizing substance use as a coping skill. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and mindfulness techniques to help clients feel a sense of self-empowerment and see the world in a new light. Asking for help is hard, and I have nothing but the utmost respect for those who seek it. I look forward to seeing you grow.
Bailey MeseckMA, LPCC
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate (LPCC) and a National Certified Counselor (NCC) with a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Colorado Denver. I specialize in working with children and adolescents who experience developmental disabilities, OCD, mood and anxiety disorders, and trauma.
I provide individual therapy for clients ranging from age four through young adulthood. In my work, I strive to empower clients by offering psychoeducation around mental health diagnoses, helping to reduce stigma and foster understanding. I am passionate about guiding my clients toward greater confidence, motivation, and self-acceptance as they pursue what truly matters to them.
In addition to individual therapy, I also offer caregiver coaching. I support parents and caregivers by providing education on trauma-informed communication and neurodivergent-affirming care, helping them better understand and connect with their children.
My therapeutic approach integrates DBT, ACT, person-centered, and strengths-based modalities. I believe therapy should feel safe, collaborative, and approachable — never intimidating. Building trust and rapport is my top priority, and I ensure clients never feel pressured to discuss anything before they’re ready. I often incorporate play and art-based interventions to make sessions more engaging, creative, and comfortable for my clients.

My orientation is influenced by modalities such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Narrative Therapy. I emphasize a strengths-based approach, meaning I like to highlight positive qualities such as our capacity to be resilient. Additionally, my orientation centers on the relationship between us as counselor and client. This relationship is key to successful counseling. I primarily work with individuals over age 12 and am open to couples and families. Some of my experience includes working with anxiety, depression, grief, gender & sexuality concerns, interpersonal issues, transitional issues, and trauma. A big belief of mine is authenticity. I will always show up as my authentic self and I encourage you to do the same. I also believe that you are the expert of your lived experience, and I can’t wait to hear your story. Through collaboration we will identify your goals and explore changes you can implement to achieve those goals.

JORGE FLORESMA, LPC
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a Master’s in Professional Counseling from Texas State University and have been a practicing therapist since June 2018. I work with a wide variety of issues such as depression, anxiety, posttraumatic stress, trauma, regulation, substance abuse, and communication. I have worked primarily at agencies and have helped individuals and families in crisis as well as providing traditional individual therapy. I have worked with children (8+) to adults of all ages, backgrounds, and cultures. I am also able to provide therapy in Spanish.

My theoretical orientation is an eclectic approach of Person-Centered theory, Existential Theory, EMDR, and regularly use of Animal-Assisted Counseling and Sand tray techniques. I strive to help people be the best version of themselves, regain attunement with themselves and others, and increase awareness around their passions in life.

I’m a good fit for people that want to address issues holistically and/or focus on doing work on a few select topics or events. I’m also a good fit for many culturally diverse people. Working with me is best mostly in-person because I heavily lean towards somatic therapies that lose a lot of impact even if I can do them online. I can teach some coping skills but tend to focus on trying to resolve the entire issue rather than just address it. Awareness is half the battle.

I welcome individuals and couples of all identities and backgrounds and am particularly passionate about working with women and LGBTQIA+ individuals. I am grounded in the belief that therapy should be available to everyone and am committed to creating a space where your voice can be heard.
My approach to working with individuals and couples is curious, warm, and direct. I want to understand how you create meaning in your life, and work with you to make changes that are meaningful and realistic for you. I understand that deciding to incorporate therapy into your life is not always an easy decision. I believe that engaging in therapy can be challenging work that calls for courage and vulnerability. I strive to create a safe and inclusive therapeutic space that invites self-discovery and hope. We will carefully process your experiences and explore new ways of interacting with the people in your life and the world around you.
