Yuri Shane, MSW

Staff Psychotherapist - Currently Accepting New Clients

She, Her, Hers

Psychotherapy fee: $155. Sliding scale available.

Yuri is a psychotherapist whose goal in working with clients is to help them increase their self-awareness, to feel less reactive to life’s challenges when they come up, and to help facilitate change. Informed by relational and attachment theories, Yuri loves to work with individuals and families to understand how unresolved conflicts and patterns from their past are impacting their present.

She has special interest, experience, and training in perinatal (postpartum) mental health, life transition crises, navigating professional and parenting identities, anxiety disorders, identity concerns, and trauma, including post traumatic stress and post traumatic growth.  

Having been born in Myanmar, Yuri is honored to incorporate key elements of client identity into her work, including race/ethnicity, class, religious and spiritual faiths, ability/disability, gender and sexuality. She is a co-author of an article looking at therapy practices for queer communities which was published in the journal, Studies in Clinical Social Work.

Yuri also draws joy from walking a non-linear path. After Myanmar, she lived and worked in many places including Thailand, the UK, the East Coast, and California. She co-founded and led a nonprofit for first-generation college students and worked with CU-Boulder to create an evidence-based social and emotional learning program for the organization.

Yuri's self care includes spending time with her kids, husband, and world's best dog, creating bad art, listening to live music, reading, swimming, and playing host.
