The Team

Meet Nicki

Nicki Baumbach, LCSW, MPH

She/Her/Hers

​

Hello, there. I’m Nicki. I am so glad you’re here. 

 

Deciding you need more support can be such a vulnerable moment. By searching for a therapist who feels like the right fit, you are one step closer to finding more ease, relief, acceptance, and connection in your life. 

 

I enjoy supporting you during your reproductive, pregnancy, postpartum, and parenting experiences. I strive to provide a space in which you feel heard and held in the challenges and growing pains that you may encounter on the journey to grow your family. I take a holistic approach with a biopsychosocial lens, focusing on mindfulness, whole body awareness, and the connections in your life. Speaking of connection, research has shown one of the most important, if not the most important, factors for success in therapy is the therapeutic relationship. So first and foremost, I want to make sure you feel comfortable, secure, and confident in our work together. I foster this by infusing our work with authenticity, vulnerability, and gentle guidance so you feel empowered to care for yourself and others. 

 

My background is in social work and public health, with an emphasis on maternal, infant, and child wellness. I am committed to supporting individuals and couples during this particular phase of life because — despite having been obsessed with pregnancy, birth, and babies my whole life — through my own challenges and pain of loss, grief, postpartum anxiety, and dysregulation, I know firsthand how grounding it can feel to be heard and witnessed in your journey. Though our stories are all unique and intricately our own, my experiences have afforded me shared understanding and deeper empathy when guiding you towards feeling like your best self. 

 

When I am not supporting others, I support myself by spending time with my partner and daughter, practicing yoga and meditation, traveling to new places, enjoying a page-turning book, and indulging in delicious food.

Meet Marley

Marley Miller, MA, LPC, PMH-C

She/Her/Hers

​

​I'm not able to accept new clients until September 2025. 

​

Hi there, I’m Marley. I’ve been working with the perinatal population several years and have developed a deep affinity for supporting new parents, recognizing how pivotal this time is for the entire family system. Additionally, I also hold special interest in working with women who are not parents, by choice or by circumstance. 

​

I am a graduate of the Transpersonal Wilderness Therapy program at Naropa University. With a background in outdoor education and backcountry guiding, I’ve cultivated a deep appreciation for the relationship between individuals and the natural world. I strive to incorporate this connection into my work with clients, using the resources of nature to enhance the therapeutic process. 

​

My goal is to support clients in the most holistic, authentic, and collaborative way possible. I am committed to ongoing education to ensure that I create an equitable and socially just space for all those I work with. I particularly enjoy working with families from diverse backgrounds. 

​

For those interested in integrating movement and more intentional meditation practices, I offer outdoor sessions tailored to each client’s unique journey. Feel free to reach out if you’d like to learn more about this offering! 

​

My previous clinical experience includes working with individuals with special needs, supporting a crisis intervention counselor, and providing mentorship to incarcerated clients through Focus Reentry in Boulder, Co. 

​

Outside of my work, I prioritize self-care through activities such as spending time with friends and loved ones, in or near water, hiking, reading, rock climbing, gardening, and traveling. 

Meet Hannah

Hannah Taxman, MA, LPC

She/Her/Hers

​

Hi, I’m Hannah. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with a deep passion for supporting individuals and families during the transformative journey of fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenthood. I understand how tender and complex these life transitions can be, full of both possibility and challenge. My approach is warm, collaborative, and holistic, grounded in the belief that healing unfolds when we feel deeply seen, heard, and supported.

 

I earned my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Naropa University, with a concentration in Mindfulness-Based Transpersonal Counseling. I draw on mindfulness, somatic awareness, and self-inquiry practices to help clients develop a greater sense of connection to themselves, their relationships, and the deeper wisdom that lives within them. I have been trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and often incorporate parts work inspired by Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help clients develop compassion, understanding, and integration between the different aspects of themselves.

 

My path toward specializing in perinatal mental health emerged organically through both personal and professional experiences. I approach the reproductive and parenting journey with deep respect for its emotional and spiritual dimensions, and I hold reverence for the courage it takes to navigate these experiences in one’s life. I am especially passionate about supporting clients in exploring how cultural identity, intergenerational patterns, and ancestral stories shape their sense of self and their experience of parenthood.

 

Before becoming a therapist, I studied voice at Berklee College of Music and continue to be moved by the power of creative expression. I love helping clients reconnect with their own “voice,” however that may manifest, as truth, intuition, expression, or agency. I hold the belief that innate wisdom lies within each of my clients and together we can uncover, understand, and embrace the full complexity of who you are. I would be truly honored to walk alongside you in your healing journey.

 

Outside of my work, I spend my time with family and friends, maintain a consistent workout routine, enjoy creating and experiencing live music, listening to podcasts, travel to places near and far, and make sure to get a healthy dose of sunshine by spending time exploring the outdoors.
