Therapy by people
who get it — because
they live it.

I am Shana Dobson, also known as Shana "Danger" Dobson, former UFC fighter. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor that has navigated marginalization in athletic, social, and mental health related spaces. I knew firsthand the importance of mental health community and support, being a Black, queer, neurodiverse, masculine presenting, first generation American with Jamaican roots.

As a proud professional athlete, I understand what it means to exist at the intersection of multiple identities in spaces that were not always built for you. That knowledge is not incidental to my clinical work — it is central to it. Path2Peace is a space that not only acknowledges these realities, but supports and empowers the communities impacted by them.

I created Path2Peace because I know what it feels like to walk into a space and immediately wonder whether you're truly welcome there. This practice is my answer to that feeling: a fully telehealth practice in Colorado built on the belief that clients from marginalized communities deserve therapists who share their lived experience — not just clinicians who've attended a training about them.

This practice is growing, and I'm excited to connect with clients who are ready to begin their journey and therapists who are ready to practice in a space that honors everything they are.

Jor’rdan believes healing begins when people feel genuinely seen, heard, and accepted. As a Black therapist who grew up in Denver’s Park Hill neighborhood, she understands many of the cultural, systemic, and generational barriers that can make asking for help feel difficult. Growing up in a diverse community shaped her passion for advocating for mental health, reducing stigma, and creating spaces where individuals from marginalized communities feel safe enough to show up as their authentic selves.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Candidate (LMFT-C) and Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate (LPCC), Jor’rdan’s therapeutic style is warm, collaborative, and strengths-based. She primarily practices from a Structural Family Therapy lens while integrating Solution-Focused Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients better understand themselves, strengthen relationships, challenge unhelpful thought patterns, and build practical skills for lasting change. She enjoys working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, grief, relationship challenges, self-esteem, identity development, and family conflict — and is especially passionate about serving BIPOC communities, young adults, and first-generation professionals.

Jor’rdan is also the founder of Potential With Purpose Wellness Collective, where she created a Community Wellness Sponsorship Program providing free therapy to five individuals every six weeks to those committed to their healing journey. Giving back to the community and increasing access to quality mental health care are at the heart of everything she does.

Sam approaches therapy from a compassionate, client-centered, and holistic lens, blending mindfulness-based and transpersonal psychology to support clients navigating life’s challenges and building greater emotional well-being. She believes you are the expert on yourself, and creates a nonjudgmental, affirming space to explore your thoughts and emotions, deepen self-awareness, and move toward a more authentic, balanced life.

Sam is a queer woman who has navigated her own experiences with disability, childhood trauma, and substance use challenges. Sam has utilized her own relationship with therapy to heal from those challenges and now is in the space to support others that can benefit from mental health support. These lived experiences have deepened her compassion and commitment to walking alongside clients as they explore their own stories, resilience, and paths toward healing — meeting each person exactly where they are.

Sarah brings a trauma-informed, attachment-based, and neurodiversity-affirming approach to her work, drawing on EMDR, somatic awareness, parts work, family systems, and creative expression. She is especially passionate about supporting clients through trauma, grief, attachment wounds, recovery, identity development, family challenges, and major life transitions — with particular care for neurodivergent clients, women navigating midlife, aging, menopause, and shifting roles, and individuals exploring asexuality and other queer identities. As an asexual woman herself, Sarah brings personal insight to conversations around identity, intimacy, and belonging. While Sarah represents these particular intersectionalities, she remains passionate about supporting the mental health needs of all marginalized communities.

Sarah’s own path has shaped how she shows up for clients. Her experience with recovery, attachment healing, a late ADHD diagnosis, and learning about her own parentage in midlife have deepened her understanding of identity, belonging, grief, and the courage it takes to reclaim your story. Before becoming a counselor, Sarah spent years as a designer, artist, realtor, managing broker, and caregiver — roles that taught her what safety, belonging, and home really mean. She is also a mom to two adult children and a rescue dog named Watson, and spends her free time hiking, practicing yoga, and creating in her art studio.

Sarah believes healing begins when people feel safe enough to slow down, listen to themselves, and reconnect with the parts of themselves they had to set aside to get through hard times.

Phil is a Black therapist-in-training born and raised in Denver, whose path into counseling has been shaped by both lived experience and years of advocacy. As a survivor of the 2012 Aurora Theater shooting, he understands how trauma can fundamentally change the way people experience themselves and the world around them. Before entering the mental health field, Phil spent years working in higher education, violence prevention, and masculinity programming, supporting individuals through identity development, healing, and life transitions.

Phil’s therapeutic approach is grounded in Person-Centered Therapy, Relational-Cultural Therapy (RCT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and an intersectional, trauma-informed lens. He is especially passionate about working with Black, Brown, LGBTQIA+, and other marginalized communities, as well as individuals navigating trauma, masculinity, identity exploration, relationships, anxiety, depression, and major life transitions. As a cis, heterosexual Black man with a decolonial mindset, Phil centers love, connection, and genuine allyship in his work. While Phil represents these particular intersectionalities, he remains passionate about supporting the mental health needs of all marginalized communities.

Phil believes therapy isn’t about telling people who they should become, but about creating a relationship where they can reconnect with their own agency and discover what healing looks like for themselves. Outside of therapy, he’s a proud cat dad to Furrari (“Rari”), and enjoys stories that explore resilience, community, and what it means to remain authentic in a world that often asks people to be someone else.
