About Clearwater Counseling and Consulting

​

Welcome!  Clearwater Counseling and Consulting was created from a commitment to helping people reconnect with their capacity for healing, growth, and meaningful change. The work is focused on helping you move from feeling stuck toward greater clarity, emotional balance, and a stronger sense of internal steadiness.

​

Meet Leah

​

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado, with a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I am also an EMDRIA Certified Therapist and Approved Consultant, Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, Certified CAMS Therapist, Certified Integrative Mental Health Provider, and Certified Grief Educator.

​

I bring experience from community mental health, a national nonprofit, and private practice, across urban, rural, and mountain settings.  I’ve worked with clients across the lifespan navigating depression, anxiety, dissociation, trauma, personality disorders, and self-harming behaviors.  I also bring a lived understanding of long-term caregiving, which informs my work with stress, burnout, and emotional depletion.  This range of work has shaped a grounded, practical, and deeply human approach—one that balances clinical insight with real-life application. 

​

I currently work with adults navigating trauma, grief, attachment patterns, codependency/people pleasing, anxiety, depression, caregiver stress and burnout, as well as with the unique challenges faced by 911 Professionals. 

​

I provide HIPAA-compliant telehealth services to clients across Colorado, as well as consultation services to professionals worldwide.  In-person options coming soon in Grand Junction, CO.

Working With Me

​

If you are seeking therapy, I work with adults who are ready to engage in meaningful change—not just understanding their experiences but actively working to shift them.

​

If you are a clinician, consultation is focused on helping you feel more confident, grounded, and effective in your EMDR work.

​

In both spaces, the intention is the same: greater clarity, capacity, and internal steadiness.

​

Growth & Ongoing Development

​

I believe my ability to support clients and consultees is directly shaped by my own personal and professional growth.  Because of this, I am committed to ongoing learning, continued training, and my own reflective work as a clinician and individual.

​

Growth is not something I view as separate from my work—it is part of how I stay present, effective, and grounded in the work I do with others.

​

Outside the Therapy Room

​

Outside of my work, I prioritize practices that help me stay grounded and connected.  I love spending time with my family in the Denver area, while enjoying a quiet life in Grand Junction.  You can often find me spending time in nature, taking long walks with my dog, reading, landscape photography, camping, and going to concerts. These experiences support my own sense of balance and remind me of the importance of rest, presence, and living a full life alongside meaningful work.

​

​

I look forward to meeting you.
