Our Team
Ali Smith, LCSW, PMH-C Clinical Director, Therapist & Parent Coach
I provide virtual services across Colorado, and in-home support for folks in Eagle County.
I'm a therapist who supports individuals, parents, and families through some of life's most transformative seasons. I provide individual therapy and parent coaching, with a clinical specialization in fertility, pregnancy, postpartum mental health, and the transition to parenthood. Through parent coaching, I also support caregivers as they navigate the ever-changing landscape of raising children, from toddlerhood through the teen years.
Before engaging in therapy work, I spent years leading wilderness expeditions and working in experiential and Montessori-based education. Those experiences continue to shape the way I practice today, deepening my belief in the healing power of relationships, the importance of meeting people where they are, and the remarkable capacity we all have to grow when we feel safe, seen, and supported.
My work is grounded in a deep understanding of child development, attachment, emotional regulation, and the parent-child relationship. Whether you're navigating infertility, preparing to welcome a baby, adjusting to postpartum life, or finding your footing as a parent, I hope to offer a warm, collaborative space where you feel deeply understood, gently supported, and equipped with the insight and confidence to care for both yourself and your family.
Emmi Burke, SWC (She/Her) Therapist & Director of Operations
I provide in-person support in Fort Collins, and virtual services across Colorado.
m a social worker with a heart for helping folks feel safe, understood, and more at home in who they are. I believe emotional growth can happen in all kinds of ways: through play, creativity, nature, movement, connection, conversation, and even making a little mess. Sometimes we need to talk things through, and sometimes a game, a deep breath, a belly laugh, or a creative moment can help us open up and discover something new about ourselves. Therapy doesn’t have to look one particular way, and I love creating space for all of it.
With training as a play therapist, I believe therapy can unfold in all kinds of ways. I work with people of all ages, weaving together conversation, creativity, nature, movement, play, and mindfulness. Whether we’re talking things through or making a little magic (and maybe a little mess), we’ll find what helps you feel more like yourself.
I find so much joy in celebrating each person’s strengths, imagination, and unique spark. My goal is to create a warm, welcoming environment where clients feel safe enough to be silly, curious, expressive, and fully themselves. To me, therapy is walking alongside my clients as they learn, grow, and discover new ways to feel connected, capable, and more at home in themselves.
Kelly Ross-Boon (She/Her) Clinical Intern
I provide in-person support in Fort Collins, and virtual services across Colorado.
During my many years advocating for children as a social worker and educator, I came to believe that play is a powerful tool for expression and healing because it is a child’s natural language. Now, as a pre-licensed MSW clinical intern specializing in play therapy, I am committed to building a welcoming, safe space for children to be exactly who they are. Play therapy gives children the opportunity to grow by expressing emotions, regulating their nervous systems, processing trauma, and developing strong coping and social skills. I am deeply passionate about helping kids communicate and connect so they can make sense of their world.
Healing is a collaborative process, and I believe families play a vital role in a child's growth. I am dedicated to working closely with parents to provide support and guidance, ensuring that the child, family, and therapist function as one united team.
Let’s work together to help your child find their voice and build a strong foundation for their future. Contact me today to get started.
