Maura McGowanLPCC
Licensed Professional Counselor Canidate
Location: Denver, COAppointment Types: In-Person • Telehealth - Colorado

Hello! My name is Maura, and I love being a therapist. I am originally from Philadelphia, but I’ve lived in Virginia, Ireland, Nigeria, and now Colorado.
My experience primarily involves working with children, adolescents, and young adults in both school and community settings. I practice mainly using Polyvagal Theory, a mind-body approach, because I believe we miss out on important insights when we aren't connected to our bodies. I always say that you are the expert in your own life. As a therapist, my role is to guide you toward your goals and create a safe space for you to explore your inner world more deeply.
I’ve worked with individuals dealing with issues such as self-esteem, anxiety, depression, life transitions, relational struggles, body image concerns, and more. I also have experience supporting international and expatriate populations, as well as the LGBTQA+ community.
Outside of work, I enjoy snowboarding, traveling, baking, and being outside in the sun. I am looking forward to meeting you and being by your side for a part of your journey!
