Orna Peleg, LCSW
Clinical Social Worker & AEDP therapist
My work is guided by the principles of AEDP:
Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy.
I believe this method is effective in helping people access deep emotional healing by tapping into their inner resilience and capacity for growth. AEDP offers a powerful framework for transforming emotional pain into clarity, strength, and connection.
​
With all this in mind, I'm aware that everyone is different, so there is no single right way to do therapy. In my experience, therapy is most effective when it’s grounded in a genuine, trusting connection - where together, we can safely foster a path for change, at your pace, and in ways that truly support your healing and growth.
This is your journey, and we'll navigate it side by side, in a way that feels right for you.
My Story
I received my master’s degree in social work from Hunter College School of Social Work in 1996.
After I graduated, I worked as a therapist with adults and families in Brooklyn, NY.
Later on, I worked for a non-profit agency in Israel serving adults with chronic mental health issues.
I moved to Boulder, CO with my family in 2002. From 2003-2012, I worked in community mental health as a crisis specialist working with children, adolescents, and adults experiencing acute mental health crises.
​
From 2013 to 2021, I was part of the team at Boulder Community Hospital's Psychiatric Inpatient Unit, providing brief supportive counseling to clients. During this time, I also served as a clinical assessment specialist at Boulder Mental Health Partners, where I developed expertise in mental health assessments and diagnosis.
Licensure
I attained CO LCSW licensure in 2006.
An LCSW is someone who has graduated from an accredited social work master’s program, completed supervised clinical hours (3,360 hours in Colorado), and passed the ASWB’s clinical licensure exam.
This is the highest level of social work licensure a person can obtain. LCSWs can practice psychotherapy, form diagnoses, use crisis interventions, and serve in many other clinical mental health roles.
