About Parallel Counseling

Kyle Ohl, LPC, Founder

I began my journey in Early Childhood Mental Health in 2010, drawn to the preventative power of secure relationships building resilient, emotionally healthy children.

In 2015, I moved to Grand County, CO, where I now raise my family, work, and play. Recognizing the critical need for accessible relationship-based therapy in my community, I expanded my focus to attachment-centered therapy, where the relationship itself is the client. This approach fosters healing and growth for both the child and caregiver, strengthening connection and emotional well-being.

I specialize in supporting children ages 0-8 and new and expecting families as they navigate challenges, heal from past hurts, and build secure attachments. I am honored to bring my expertise close to home, meeting families where they are with authenticity, acceptance, and deep respect for their unique journey.

Julia Macchione, LPCC

Hi, I’m Julia Macchione, a Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate (LPCC), Synergetic Play Therapy enthusiast, and firm believer that children are doing the best they can with the tools they’ve got.

After more than a decade working across the early childhood landscape—as a teacher, director, coach, and consultant—I found myself constantly drawn to the “why” behind big behaviors. That curiosity led me to clinical mental health counseling, where I now get to combine my love of early childhood with my deep respect for nervous systems (tiny ones and grown-up ones alike).

I specialize in Synergetic Play Therapy, a brain-body-based approach rooted in nervous system regulation, authenticity, and connection. It’s not about getting kids to “behave”—it’s about helping them feel safe enough to be. Through relationship and play, we co-create a space where children (and their caregivers) can explore, express, and heal—often in the language kids know best: movement, mess, and imagination.

Originally from the Boulder/Nederland area, I now live in Granby, CO with my husband, our strong-willed daughter, sweet-hearted son, and a house that looks like a collector's paradise (in the best way). I’m passionate about supporting families in understanding behavior through the lens of connection, regulation, and relational safety.
