Helene Homer-Ishikawa, LCSW
About me
Hello, I am licensed in Colorado with over 20 years of professional work experience. I started out specializing in family and children. During my years of practice, my work has expanded. I have worked with young adults, adults and older adults as well. As I spent much of my career practicing in a diverse and populous state, I've worked with people of diverse ethnicities, faiths, nationalities and socio-economic status, gender and sexual orientation. Anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma and loss are among the issues that I have supported clients to address.
I believe in the beauty and mystery of the human heart. If you share the process of your journey with me, I will respect the honor and offer compassion and regard. It takes courage to explore you feelings and thoughts, to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support and empower you in that journey.

Helene has helped me open up more than I ever thought possible. She has pulled things out of me that surprise even myself. I dont think I could have ever figured some of these things on my own and I couldn't imagine being where I am without her support.

Really listens to me and guides me through situations and offers appropriate direction on how to deal with the current issue at hand.

Helen has been great! She is ‘pro-me’ and an excellent active listener.
