As a mindfulness-based counselor, I offer a compassionate space that is built on a genuine connection by meeting you exactly where you are: messy, hurting, searching, or simply wanting something to shift. My approach draws from Gestalt, Person-Centered, and Existential therapies, and shaped by a genuine curiosity about your lived experience. At the center of it all is the relationship we build together. Therapy is a collaborative process, together we will make sense of your experiences, uncover what’s meaningful, and find ways to navigate life that feel true to you.

Counselor, MA, LPC, cAHt
Boulder, CO 80301
Do you feel like sometimes you've "talked yourself out" with traditional talk therapy? Tired of only treating the symptoms without getting to the actual causes? Want sustainable change rather than just awareness of your problems? I offer modalities that get to the root of the issue(s) and create new neuropathways in the brain in order to create lasting change, ease, fulfillment and satisfaction in your life. I have great success and absolutely love the work I do!! :)

Boulder Family Counseling / Author
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
Boulder, CO 80303
Author of The Parent-Teen Connection: How to Build Lifelong Family Relationships, endorsed by Children's Hospital Colorado, Crisis Text Line, and UNICEF
It takes courage to ask for help; you have already taken the first step. Life throws us situations we don't anticipate or have encountered before and we need help getting through. You are here because you or someone you care about is in pain. You have come to the right place. We have all had those times when we need someone besides family and friends to talk to. People come to me for a variety of reasons: anxiety and depression, relationship problems, family issues, emotional and social struggles, rebuilding self-esteem, teen difficulties, general life transitions, and personal growth.

Bree Bessette
Counselor, MA, LLPC
1 Endorsed
Boulder, CO 80304
I use Synergetic Play Therapy for children and PACT for couples.
Starting the healing process is challenging and takes courage. Within all of us is a drive or desire to become whole, happy and connected to our self and our world. I see the importance of integrating all parts and aspects of our Self and becoming more whole and complete human beings. This journey into wholeness in the realization of our potential, underpins our personal journey of transformation and healing. This philosophy is at the core of my approach.

Colleen Conroy
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
Boulder, CO 80304
Carl Rogers said, when we accept ourselves as we are, then we can change. Focusing on the individual and their unique capability toward healing is the guiding approach I take in therapy. I work with great curiosity to explore the distractions and negative cycles that may be keeping you stuck. The struggle for clarity is a difficult one to navigate in isolation; together we can look at patterns and behaviors that no longer service you. The therapeutic process is one of finding balance between the emotional and rational, the mind and body and bringing that forward into our lives.

Tasha Medley, MA, MEd, LPC
Counselor, MA, MEd, LPC
Boulder, CO 80301
If you have come to this site. . . remember to breathe. . . in a way that you know you are breathing. . . I remind myself of this on a regular basis. . . There is more to you than you might think. . . Therapy is an invitation to re-discover a compassionate, curious, and wise energy that was always within you, but blocked by well-intentioned and sometimes extreme parts of you. I believe you deserve some sense of how I work. I also believe a good therapist continues to do their own work. . . which is why I meditate and meet regularly with trusted colleagues and we literally take turns being therapist and client with each other.

Life changes us—sometimes gradually, and sometimes all at once. Whether you're navigating anxiety, grief, trauma, relationships, parenthood, a major transition, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself, therapy can be a place to slow down, understand what you're experiencing, and find your way forward. I believe our struggles make sense in the context of our lives. My approach is collaborative and grounded in curiosity and compassion—not "What's wrong with you?" but "What's happening for you, and why does it make sense?"

Thank you for your interest. I tend to work with people in a manner that focuses on strengths, on the inherent wisdom of your system. No matter what the stuck spot, there is something trying to get worked out through the, for example, arguments, depression, anxiety, drug use... there is some aspect of Self that is doing its best to show up. In our work together, we will relieve the pain and struggle of the unhealthy strategy that is not working, while simultaneously working on creating the patterns for a new way to interface with the world.
