Hi, I’m Rebecca! I’m a licensed therapist (LMFT), and I work with students who are navigating all the messy, beautiful, confusing parts of being human—especially during a time like college, when everything feels like it’s shifting. You don’t need to be in crisis to come to therapy. Maybe you're feeling anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of who you’re becoming, and that’s okay. It’s normal to want some support while you're figuring things out. In our work together, you’ll find a space that’s calm, non-judgmental, and focused on you. I use a mix of approaches—CBT, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Solution-Focused work—but more than anything, I show up with compassion, curiosity, and respect for your pace and your story. I became a therapist because I know how powerful it can be to feel truly seen and heard. I bring my own love of creativity, deep listening, and belief in people’s resilience into the room with me. You don’t have to have the right words or a plan, just bring yourself. We’ll figure it out together.

You don’t have to do this alone. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stuck in depression, or carrying the invisible weight of trauma—there is a way through. I help individuals untangle painful experiences and reconnect with a sense of safety, strength, and clarity. Therapy isn’t about ‘fixing’ you. It’s about helping you rediscover the parts of yourself that hardship tried to silence. It is time to be heard. I work with individuals who are ready to create a change. My approach is warm, non-judgmental, and collaborative. I believe healing happens when you feel safe to show up exactly as you are—no masks, no pressure to “have it all figured out.” Whether you're new to therapy or returning, we’ll move at your pace. So, grab your cup of coffee or tea, take a breath, and know that change is possible. You deserve a life that doesn’t just feel manageable—but one that feels rich, fulfilling, and worth waking up for. When you are ready to begin, call or email me, I look forward to working with you.

“I feel so overwhelmed.” “I don’t know where to begin.” “I wish I wasn’t always so on edge.” “This burden is just too heavy to bear.” If these statements resonate with you, I would be honored to provide a safe space to explore and process these feelings together. You are not alone and do not have to continue feeling this way. I am passionate about helping clients through the ups and downs of life. You do not have to battle anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions alone. I value creating a therapeutic environment that is tailored to the needs and goals of each client. Through a collaborative, holistic, strengths-based, and cognitive-behavioral (CBT) approach, I treat each client with the utmost respect, dignity, and empathy. I enjoy empowering clients to harness their inner resources to reach their full potential. I appreciate the courage it takes to begin therapy. Please allow me to assist you in achieving a healthier, happier, and more fulfilling life. Please call or message me for a free phone consultation. I look forward to hearing from you!

“I feel alone and disconnected”... “My mind won’t stop racing”... “I want to heal from my trauma.” If you recognize yourself in any of these statements, I hear you and I am here to help. Hi, my name is Leanne, and I am so honored to meet you. I believe that seeking help can be such a vulnerable, yet courageous act of self-care that can truly be life changing. I would love to work with you and help you create positive change within your life. Some counseling modalities that I utilize most frequently are Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Humanistic therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I also enjoy working through multicultural and holistic lenses that allow me to better understand your unique worldview and select interventions that will be most beneficial to you. I believe that my therapeutic approach is very collaborative in nature. You are the expert of your own life, and I strive to create a warm and welcoming space for us to explore your treatment needs together.

Boulder, CO

Hey, I'm Paige! Authentic. Relational. Collaborative. I am a therapist based out of Boulder, and I work with people navigating turning points in life: college students and young adults figuring out who they are. Whether you’re adjusting to life at CU Boulder, managing post-grad panic, navigating identity shifts, or figuring out how to be an adult in a chaotic world, I offer a grounded space to help you find your footing. My practice Facing Mountains is built on the idea that we don't have to face the hard stuff alone. My approach is relational at heart and blends Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS). That means we'll explore the deeper patterns that shape how you relate to yourself and others, while also building practical tools to help you move forward with clarity and compassion. Whether you're here to process trauma, navigating major life transitions, or simply trying to breathe through life's chaos, I'll meet you with honesty, care, and zero judgement.

I am a licensed professional counselor specializing in helping adolescent and adult patients expand their resilience and coping skills to better navigate current challenges. While I specialize in treating root causes of chronic anxiety and depression, I am also here to assist those struggling with PTSD, compulsive disorders, behavioral/conduct issues, neurodiverse issues, grief, and life changes, with extensive experience working with patients managing substance use disorders. Working together, you can expect a stable and calming environment where kindness and respect are the pillars in which a trusting relationship is built. I use an eclectic array of treatments to help achieve your goals, from cognitive interventions to somatic therapy, play therapy to creative interventions – all with an emphasis on expanding self-worth, healthy reward systems, and discipline. I am especially passionate about incorporating somatic interventions from a trauma-informed lens. This multi-faceted approach is best described as flexible and tailored, keeping your unique needs and objectives as the focus at all times. I look forward to creating a safe, open space with you in our time together. My path to becoming a therapist began as a teenager upon experiencing significant traumatic events with the loss of my older brother and cousin. These events developed and deepened my commitment to providing compassionate, empathic responses to those undergoing defining life changes. Now, I place high emphasis on not forgetting life experiences, but expanding on resilience to cope with and honor them. When I’m not in the office, I love spending my free time outside. Hiking, camping, fishing, snowboarding, attending live music shows, and even oil painting – I love it all!
