We are excited to announce our Harmony through Healing group starts Tuesday, March 18th, to help those who are managing responses to current politcal, racial, and socioeconomic collective trauma. See Our Services tab for more details and to join.
The Native American Counseling and Healing Collective (NACAHC) is a counseling and consultation group practice. As the only Native American and women founded group practice in the Denver metro area, NACAHC is a small and growing team of therapists who have collected to provide an extensive therapy practice that includes individual, family, and group therapy services specific to our local Native, Indigenous, and BIPOC community. We also provide professional development and consultation to those working closely with Native communities. We have a shared understanding that healing starts with a safe and confidential environment, an ability to incorporate traditional medicines, an understanding of unique tribal traditions and beliefs, and a culturally responsive care practice.
NACAHC grew from the desire to open a group practice of licensed therapists from an individual business model that specifically serves our Native and Indigenous community members, knowing that there are specific beliefs and values that are best heard with a therapist that is familiar with the culture.
We have deep-rooted connections to the local Native, BIPOC, and Indigenous community and would love to hear from you. Iniiyi’taki (thank you) for finding us on your journey and learning about the services we provide.
“He could get no rest as long as the memories were tangled with the present.”
