Hi, I’m Laura and I specialize in helping women and teens heal from trauma, whether it shows up as anxiety, overthinking, people-pleasing, or feeling completely disconnected from themselves. I experienced trauma growing up and know firsthand how it impacts the whole body.

Through Somatic therapy, Brainspotting, and EMDR, I help clients release what’s stuck in their bodies and rebuild trust in themselves—because healing isn’t about “getting over it,” it’s about feeling safe again.

If you’re navigating relationship challenges, family issues, identity, women’s issues, or questions about culture and belonging, you don’t have to figure it all out alone. I help women, people of color, LGBTQ+ clients, and those in nontraditional relationships make sense of what they’re experiencing so they can feel more confident, connected, and clear about what comes next. Therapy can be a place to feel understood, find your direction, and create meaningful change.

Chablis Powers

Chablis Powers

Therapist

Virtual • Colorado


I am a holistic therapist who believes meaningful healing happens through authentic connection, self-awareness, and a compassionate understanding of the experiences that shape us. I was born and raised in Colorado and received my undergraduate education from California State University and Masters of Science from National University in 2019. I bring a trauma-informed, relational, and integrative approach to my work with clients. I specialize in supporting adults navigating childhood trauma and attachment wounds, grief, life transitions, and the process of reconnecting with themselves. My practice also includes specialized support for psychedelic preparation and integration and Colorado’s emerging natural medicine landscape, when appropriate and within my scope of practice. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe enough to be honest, curious enough to explore, and supported as you move toward a life that feels more authentically your own.

Psychologist

Virtual • Colorado


Hi, I’m Dr. Katie. I'm a psychologist and recovering perfectionist. If your brain is constantly playing a highlight reel of everything you should be doing better, we’ll probably get along great!

I work with adults who are tired of being "bossed around" by anxiety, people-pleasing, body image, disordered eating, trauma responses, and self-doubt.

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and occasionally very direct (when you need it.)

I bring warmth, humor, and clear guidance to therapy. Cognitive techniques help uncover how thoughts shape emotions and actions, while mindfulness fosters calm and focus. We’ll also explore your values to guide our work. Humor keeps things light, and directness ensures we stay on track. Together, we’ll work toward lasting growth and confidence.I earned my Master’s in Counseling from Wake Forest University.
