Adam O’Neil, PhD
-
Hello! My name is Adam O’Neil and I am a licensed clinical psychologist (PhD; Colorado PSY.00005457) in Boulder, Colorado. My pronouns are he/him/his, and I enjoy the opportunity to serve children, adolescents, young adults, and families at Atlas Psychology. I am also a PSYPACT provider (mobility #9118), which allows me to work with clients residing in select states outside of Colorado. I am also the founder of Atlas Psychology. My work attempts to blend the theoretical and empirical principles that support mental health and psychological performance.
For some context about my formal training and education: I received my bachelor’s degree with a major in psychology from Lake Forest College near Chicago, and later completed my master’s in sport and performance psychology from the University of Denver. I then went on to study at the doctoral level at Fielding Graduate University in Santa Barbara, CA, focusing on clinical psychology. Both my doctoral training program and internship are APA-Accredited. For the past decade or so, I’ve developed clinical specialties with psychological assessment, with particular focus on trauma-informed comprehensive evaluations.
My predoctoral internship at the Health Sciences Center (HSC) and Psychological Resources for OU Student Athletes (PROS) at the University of Oklahoma largely focused on working with young adults. There, I worked with collegiate student athletes, graduate students from a variety of fields, and working with undergraduate students, with a focus on psychological assessment and psychotherapy, including brief interventions that impact psychological functioning. I then completed my postdoctoral residency focused on trauma-informed child and adolescent clinical psychology at Commander Counseling and Wellness, a private practice in Norman, OK. There, I received further in-depth training in comprehensive psychological assessment and using mindfulness and acceptance-based therapies (ACT and MBCT) to evaluate and treat issues across the developmental spectrum. Much of my training experiences included providing assessment services to children, adolescents, families, prospective families, and larger institutions associated with state-based health services such as the foster care system and psychoeducational evaluations for schools and school districts.
I also identify as a sport and performance psychologist, and I regularly work with athletes and non-athlete performers in many domains. Currently I support three Team USA Paralympic teams, and often work with individuals who are competing at the international level of competition (e.g., Olympians, multi-national athletes, athletes competing in the World Surf League and CrossFit Games, etc.). I also support two professional sport teams, and regularly consult with organizations on projects focused on performance psychology, such as interview protocol development for combine and draft processes, recruiting best practices, and assisting with return-to-sport (e.g., after injury) and retirement from sport programs. I also am an adjunct professor at the master’s degree program in Sport and Performance Psychology at the University of Denver and remain active with publication of research with foci on transition processes that athletes experience, such as how athletes thrive in new challenging performance situations, and the effects of intensive meditation on long term holistic development of individuals and teams. Relatedly, I regularly consult with performance-oriented organizations, with experience developing, leading, and evaluating workshops at multiple Fortune 500 companies.
I frequently attend trainings to ensure that I am providing the most up-to-date treatments available to my clients. When appropriate, I consult with other social workers, occupational therapists, teachers, school psychologists and counselors, clinical psychologists, counseling psychologists, and psychiatrists. In addition to my graduate and postdoctoral training, I have attended advanced trainings in:
• Trauma-Oriented & Resilience-Informed Care
• Social and Cultural Considerations in Psychological Assessment
• Telepsychology and Telehealth
• Antiracist Psychological Assessment and Therapy
• Neurodiversity and Neurodevelopmental Conditions
• Executive Functioning and Gender Differences
• Mental Health First Aid & SafeSport

Giulia Pecone, MSW, SWC, RYT-200
-
Giulia (name/she/her/hers) is a graduate of the University of Denver’s Graduate School of Social Work and has specialized training in working with adolescents and young adults who experience high levels of anxiety and vulnerable nervous systems.
I first began my journey as a social work intern supporting children and families at Blue Sky Bridge here in Boulder, CO and have since worked in both clinical and community based settings. I offer a wide variety of modalities and tools as each individual benefits from their own treatment plan unique to them. These modalities may include play therapy, CBT, DBT, parts work, and somatic therapy.
My experience has ranged from working with young children who have big behaviors, to adults with high levels of complex trauma, all due to vulnerable nervous systems. As a social worker, I believe in the power of family and community systems work and frequently incorporate family members and school professionals in the treatment planning process so that as the child or individual begins to transform, so does the system around them. As a mother of two, I also recognize the heaviness a family can feel when trying to support their loved ones in a constant fight/flight/freeze response and I often bring in my own reflections and experiences with those I treat as it’s my goal to create a safe place for people to feel seen and understood.
I am also an RYT-200 and have been a yoga practitioner for 20+ years, so I find great value in incorporating a mindfulness based approach as a means to reduce the symptoms related to fight or flight. Mindfulness is the practice of learning to be present in all emotional states, and while uncomfortable at times, can assist us in moving more quickly through the stuck spaces that control our negative or fear based stories.
Anxiety and trauma can create physical pain in both the body and mind, and it is my goal to decrease these symptoms by giving the emotions and experiences a voice and a feeling of felt safety. The voice of the Self may become stifled in trauma, and thus new patterns arise such as addiction, victimization, depression, and obsessions. With these dysregulated patterns of behavior, pain can be the manifestation of poor self care and a hyper aroused brain and nervous system. Our journey together incorporates new ways to have compassion for these parts so that they may become unburdened and the conscious Self can effectively run the show.
I care deeply about this work, and understand the vulnerability and grief that comes with asking for help. As I remind you of the importance in doing the work both inside and outside of the room, I am committing to show up with you on even the hardest and most conflicting days and am holding space for you to come as you are; I also promise to do the same. Therapy does not mean you are broken, it means you have committed to understanding yourself and that you are willing to explore the reactive states that our society tells us are not ok.

Bob Diehl, PhD
-
Bob Diehl, PhD (name/he/him/his) is a counseling and sport psychologist who has been with Atlas Psychology since its inception.
My approach to mental health counseling and high performance psychology does not focus simply on symptom reduction (i.e., removing difficulty), but rather aspires to honor what is good and right about you, and what makes each day worth living according to your beliefs, identities, values, and enriching relationships. My aim is to provide a space that invites exploration of challenging yet vital places of growth in the service of what is most important to you in your life and performance space. In particular, I have passions supporting people's resilience to shame, self-criticism, perfectionism, and anxiety.
At my core, I am inspired by feminist and multicultural approaches to healing that seek to interrupt systems of oppression that impact you. From that core, I use trauma-informed, evidence-based methods like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and self-compassion. I support people in taking action towards what matters even in the presence of challenge.
Finding a good fit is so vital to your counseling or sport psychology wants, and can be such an emotionally taxing journey. After an initial meeting, if you don't feel there is a great fit between us, I will work hard to connect you to people who may be a better fit for you. Let's make this process as stress-free and successful for your needs as we can.

Lindsey Waters, LPC
-
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado and specialize in supporting young adults and adults with concerns including substance use, depression, anxiety, mood disorders, and trauma. I completed my Master’s in Clinical Mental Counseling at University of Denver with a specialization in Addictions Counseling.
I believe in client-led, person-centered appointments and appreciate that one size does not fit all when it comes to the therapeutic process. I cater my interventions to the needs of the individual while incorporating the following modalities: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, Parts Work, and Mindfulness and Somatic Interventions. My trauma-focused and psychodynamic lens also explores interpersonal relationships, attachment styles, and family systems.
Humanistic Therapy is the undercurrent in my practice as I emphasize personal growth, increased self-worth, and empowerment. Self-compassion is also an integral part of my therapy process. One way to practice self-compassion is to be curious toward the parts of your identity and behavioral patterns and ask yourself: How have those parts served me? All of your parts have served you in one way or another, but with the development of new coping skills and perspective you may find that certain parts no longer serve you or were maladaptive. Once you practice curiosity, you may then practice greater compassion toward the parts of your multidimensional identity with understanding and acceptance that those parts will always be within you but do not need to define or control you.
I prioritize cultivating a judgment-free and emotionally safe space during appointments, and you can expect warmth, compassion and laughter while working together.

We wanted to give a shout out to our pets…
You likely won’t see them at our office or anything. They aren’t therapy pets by any stretch of the imagination. We asked them if they wanted to go through the training but they seemed, well, disinterested to say the least.
These lovely, furry creatures help keep us grounded, happy, present, and active in our lives. In this way, they indirectly and positively impact our work with you!
Thanks, pups :)
