Dear CCA Members,

It is an honor to serve as your President this year. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Colorado Springs, and I’ve worked at Mayfield Counseling Centers since 2016, specializing in grief and trauma. I’ve been a proud member of CCA since 2018, and I’ve had the privilege of creating and producing the CCACE continuing education program—something I continue to be passionate about as we grow our professional development offerings.

This community has been a meaningful part of my own professional journey, and I’m excited to give back in a new way. My hope for this term is simple: that CCA can continue to be an indispensable source of support for counselors across Colorado.

We all know how heavy this work can be sometimes—and how important it is. I believe that when we take care of the clinicians in our state, we’re also taking care of the people they serve. My goal is to make sure you feel supported, equipped, and connected as you do the work that only you can do.

I’m grateful to serve alongside an engaged and dedicated Governing Council as we continue to strengthen our organization’s reach and impact. Whether you're connected through trainings, networking, advocacy, or committee work, please know that your presence and voice matter deeply to the direction of this association.

Thank you for the care you give to your clients and communities—and thank you for allowing CCA to be part of your journey. I look forward to what we will accomplish together in the months ahead.

Warmly,
Trever Shirin, MA, LPC
President, Colorado Counseling Association
