What's My Approach to Therapy?
As a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, Psychotherapist, and Life Coach, I provide psychotherapy to individuals, couples, and groups providing support and guidance through difficult times.
My passion lies in connecting with people through warmth and care.
My specialization is in Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), connecting the mind and body. Avi prides himself in being able to listen to your whole self - the presenting problem, and the inner unrest. I will connect with you as a human, on this shared experience as you explore together, with sensitivity and curiosity.
My Practice & Services
Avi Zadaka is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Natural Medicine Facilitator-in-Training (NMIT) based in Boulder, Colorado. With a foundation in trauma-informed care, somatic psychotherapy, and spiritual weaving, Avi supports individuals in navigating healing through natural medicine and depth-oriented therapy.
Avi works with individuals who identify as highly sensitive, emotionally attuned, or tender by nature—those who feel deeply and often carry more than they can name. He offers a grounded, relational presence to clients navigating anxiety, depression, or the fog of emotional overwhelm, creating space to move slowly, feel fully, and be witnessed with heart. Whether you're crossing a threshold, grieving a loss, becoming a parent, or sensing that something in your life is ready to shift, Avi holds space with attunement and care.
Avi earned his Masters Degree in Clinical Social Work from Hunter College in New York in 2017, and has been in Private Practice at Zadaka Psychotherapy since 2020. After living and practicing in New York, Colorado, Minnesota, and Jerusalem, Avi returned to Boulder, Colorado, bringing with him a breadth of clinical experience shaped by diverse communities, cultures, and healing traditions.
Trained in EMDR, CBT, Narrative Therapy, and Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy, Avi brings a heart-centered, body-aware approach to preparation, journeywork, and integration. His practice honors the wisdom of the psyche, the intelligence of the body, and the sacredness of altered states.
As the fifth of seven siblings, Avi carries a finely attuned sensitivity to emotional nuance, group dynamics, and the unspoken needs that shape our inner worlds. He brings a steady, grounded brother energy into the healing space—devoted, playful, and deeply present.
Rooted in Kabbalistic traditions of healing, his work honors the unseen, the emergent, and the soul’s quiet longing for purpose and connection. Avi creates containers that are both clinically grounded and spiritually alive. Whether in ceremony or session, he holds space with patience, reverence, and compassion—inviting each person into deeper belonging with themselves and the world.
When not in his healing office in downtown Boulder, Avi can often be found with his wife, two sons, and loyal Aussie Shepherd hiking the foothills, camping with community under the stars, or sitting by the creek listening to what Spirit is whispering.
