Sarah McKelvey, MA, LPC
Lead Psychotherapist & Director
Sarah is an empathic and energetic psychotherapist blending formal training in classic therapeutic modalities with philosophy, spiritual teachings, and original insights from her own spiritual practice as a contemplative cyclist. Her clinical experience, desire to understand and work with human nature, and passion for life and this work, combines into a unique approach to psychotherapy, emotional health, and spiritual evolution.
Drawing from the humanistic-existential tradition that empowers us to courageously make choices rather than remain passive, inauthentic, or driven by our conditioning, the mindfulness meditation tradition that helps us stay centered, grounded, and present-minded, in touch with ourselves, self-regulated and self-accepting, and the Jungian and psychoanalytic traditions which offer profound analyses of the depths of the mind, the possibilities of our life's unfolding, and the troubles we get into with our defenses, complexes, issues, and hang-ups, Sarah shows up to the therapeutic hour ready for insight, connection, and powerful self-understanding that allows change to occur.
Sarah received her master's degree in Counseling Psychology and Counselor Education at the University of Colorado Denver in 2010. Her previous clinical experience includes an internship at the University of Colorado's Student & Community Counseling Center, where she focused on grief and loss counseling after pursuing advanced coursework in this area. She has operated a private practice out of her Centennial office for ten years, obtaining licensure in 2013, forming Center for Higher Consciousness in 2018.
