Telehealth therapy ยท Colorado

Therapy by people
who get it โ€” because
they live it.

Path2Peace connects clients from marginalized communities with therapists who don't just understand your intersectionalities โ€” they share them.

"I want to live the rest of my life, however long or short, with as much sweetness as I can decently manage, loving all the people I love, and doing as much as I can of the work I still have to do."
โ€” Audre Lorde

You deserve a therapist who lives your truth

Mainstream mental health care was not built for everyone. Marginalized communities often face the additional burden of educating their therapist about their own lives โ€” and that burden gets in the way of healing.


At Path2Peace, we believe every person deserves a clinician who brings genuine, lived understanding โ€” not just cultural competency training. We use the word communities intentionally, because every identity we serve represents a community with power, beauty, and resilience.


Our practice is fully telehealth, Colorado-based, and rooted in affirming, intersectional care.

Building the practice I wish had existed

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 โ€” 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 โ€” 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.

Black & BIPOC Communities First-Gen Professionals Structural Family Therapy CBT & Solution-Focused

Healing begins when you feel truly seen

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.

Northern India · Diverse Background Ph.D. in Psychology (In Progress) CBT & DBT

A warm, culturally sensitive space to feel understood

Are you feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in patterns that drain your energy? When navigating anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, or a major life transition, it can easily feel like you're carrying the heavy weight completely alone. Mehul believes every individual has a unique story, and true healing begins when you feel deeply understood, safe, and supported. She provides a warm, compassionate, and culturally sensitive space — both in-person in Parker and online across Colorado — where you can step away from the chaos, process your emotions, and regain control. She specializes in anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, emotional regulation, and adjusting to major life changes, blending CBT and DBT to help clients build evidence-based, actionable skills and see real, week-to-week progress. While Mehul represents these particular intersectionalities, she remains passionate about supporting the mental health needs of all marginalized communities.

Mehul is a woman from Northern India who brings a richly diverse cultural background and global clinical perspective to her work. She is currently completing her Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology at SGT University in India, building on a Professional Diploma in Clinical Psychology, an M.A. in Clinical Psychology, and a B.A. (Hons) in Applied Psychology from Amity University. Her three years of clinical experience span both psychological evaluation and counseling — including serving as Lead Clinical Psychologist at The Child Centre in New Delhi, where she conducted psychological assessments and CBT-based interventions for children with developmental, behavioral, and emotional disorders; as a Clinical Associate Psychologist (Supervised) at Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals, delivering structured psychotherapy and psychological testing within a multidisciplinary hospital care team; and as a Mental Health Counselor with Khushii NGO, providing tele-counseling and mental health support to underserved children and families.

Mehul brings this full breadth of clinical training, lived cultural experience, and global perspective into every session — meeting each client with warmth, curiosity, and a steady, collaborative path toward lasting change.

Neurodiverse · ADHD Asexual Recovery Journey Trauma-Informed

Healing from lived experience, not just training

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.

Black & Brown Mental Health Decolonial Masculinity and Men’s Mental Health Trauma-Informed LGBTQIA+ Ally & Advocate

No matter how hard you are on yourself, the easiest path in hindsight will always be your own

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.

Queer & LGBTQ+ Masculinity & Identity Life Transitions & Grief Anxiety & Self-Worth

Meeting you where you are

Jeff is a queer man who grew up working class and has navigated his own experiences with body size and getting older in a world that doesn’t always make that easy. He believes understanding the intersections of our identities can help us better understand our feelings and actions, and he brings that same curiosity into the room with every client. Jeff especially enjoys working with LGBTQ+ folks, men and others exploring questions of identity and masculinity, and anyone navigating life transitions, grief, anxiety, self-worth, or a search for meaning and direction.

Jeff sees our struggles in context — not as something broken, but as an understandable response to what we’ve lived through and the world around us. His style is warm, collaborative, and down-to-earth; he shows up as a real person, stays curious about your world, and checks in often about how the work is landing, because this is your therapy, not his.

Indigenous Heritage Nature-Based & Wilderness Therapy Working-Class Roots DBT & Trauma-Informed Ecological & Labor Justice

A long-time keeper of stories

Kelly is a long-time keeper of stories. As a woman with Indigenous roots, she believes in seeing you — all of you — without judgment, and knows from a lifetime of lived experience that healing is possible and there is always something new to try or learn. She is certified in Motivational Interviewing and highly trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy skills, grief and loss, and trauma-informed care, with an approach that is compassionate, down-to-earth, and focused on bringing awareness to the present moment.

Having spent part of her childhood in government-subsidized housing, Kelly deeply understands that many struggles stem not from personal flaws but from problems in larger systems. Her years of clinical experience span hospitals, outpatient treatment programs, and schools, and she brings a nature-based approach to her work — inspired in part by her Indigenous heritage — that makes clinical spaces feel less sterile and more meaningful.

A former wilderness field guide with a specialized interest in the connection between ecological and social justice, Kelly knows how to hold space for meaning and purpose. She is especially passionate about affirming and supporting marginalized communities impacted by ecological injustice, as well as individuals in labor careers shaped by classism and systemic inequity.
