Helen Tran

I am a board-certified clinical social worker (LCSW) and registered play therapist (RPT) dedicated to helping children, adolescents, and families navigate challenging behaviors, impulse control issues, emotional regulation, and family dynamics. My expertise lies in supporting those struggling with anxiety, trauma, neurodivergent challenges, and early attachment disruptions. I provide compassionate, evidence-based care that empowers children and caregivers with practical tools to strengthen relationships, build resilience, and foster emotional well-being. My approach is rooted in play therapy, trauma-informed care, and tailored interventions designed to meet each child’s unique developmental needs.

My primary goal is to create a safe, supportive space where children and families can heal, grow, and thrive. I believe that every child deserves to feel understood, supported, and capable of success. By working closely with parents and caregivers, I help them develop the confidence and strategies needed to manage behavioral challenges and strengthen family connections.

I earned my Master’s in Social Work from the University of Denver and have specialized training in Play Therapy and EMDR. Based in Boulder, I remain actively involved in the mental health community as a board member of the Colorado Play Therapy Association. Committed to ongoing learning, I continuously advance my expertise to provide the highest quality care to the families I serve.
