Hello and warmest welcome! I am Selena Papaconstantinou (she/her), a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Denver, Colorado, the traditional territory of the Ute, Cheyenne, and Arapaho Peoples (want to learn more)?

Generational trauma and mental illness in my family sparked my curiosity about psychology and how we heal from what we cannot change at an early age.  It’s been a long beautiful journey to get here and I’m so grateful that I get to do this work.

Prior to private practice I worked as a medical and hospice social worker as well as in school and substance abuse recovery settings. These experiences allowed me to serve diverse populations across the life cycle and better understand the intricate workings of social systems.

As a therapist, I recognize that I can only take people as far as I have gone myself. Every tool or modality that I offer is something I've personally explored and experienced. I am a lifelong learner, staying up to date on innovative approaches and learning from experts in the field to provide the best care.

Like many Coloradans I enjoy the outdoors and discovering new corners of this beautiful state. I find joy in music, movement, time in nature, writing, cooking,  connecting with loved ones, and cuddling with my cat, Tito.

Thank you for considering me as a partner in your journey towards wholeness. I know that finding a therapist is not easy. It may feel unclear just from a website alone what and who will best meet your needs. I encourage you to reach out for a complimentary phone consultation and together we can decide if it would be the right fit. I’d be delighted to answer any questions you may have about working with me.
