Ahava Counseling, LLC

What Ahava Counseling, LLC does

Ahava Counseling, LLC is a Denver, Colorado-based outpatient mental health practice founded in 2018 that delivers individual therapy, family therapy, group counseling, and parent coaching to children, adolescents, adults, and families, primarily between the ages of 6 and 65. The practice is staffed by a team of seven licensed clinicians (Licensed Professional Counselors and Licensed Clinical Social Workers) with overlapping specializations including EMDR, DBT, CBT, somatic experiencing, family systems therapy, and wilderness therapy. Beyond core individual and family work, the firm offers specialty service lines such as animal-assisted therapy (featuring a therapy dog named Chip), LGBTQIA+ affirmative care, and ketamine-assisted psychedelic integration therapy. Service delivery is multi-modal, combining traditional in-office sessions at the 4155 E Jewell Ave. location with in-home therapy and community-based sessions at schools, workplaces, and client homes.

The firm's product and partnership portfolio includes a body-image group therapy program for teens (ages 13-17) and The Wraparound Collective, a strategic partnership with Stride Denver that delivers intensive, multidisciplinary care (care management, parent coaching, local wilderness therapy, personal training, nutritional services, and equine therapy) for teens and young adults ages 12-40 with complex mental health and substance use needs. Administrative infrastructure consists of a third-party secure patient portal for intake forms, document sharing, demographic and payment updates, and superbill delivery; no proprietary technology platform, mobile app, API, or AI capability has been disclosed.

Ahava generates revenue through professional-services billing for therapy sessions (individual, family, and group) and intensive wraparound care packages. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; prospective clients are routed via phone or email inquiry and offered a complimentary consultation call. No external funding rounds, institutional investment, parent company, or acquisition activity are documented. Ownership history indicates that founder and former lead therapist Jamie Rabkin Binder transitioned in 2024 from clinical and ownership responsibilities into a Community Liaison role, and the firm continues to operate as a private, bootstrapped Colorado LLC serving the Denver metro and broader Colorado market.
