Hi, I'm Rowlie Busch. I provide a client-centered, cognitive-behavioral therapy approach that is both solution-focused and personal growth oriented. My experience, unique training, and deep sense of compassion and empathy help provide clients with the support and direction needed to make profound and lasting changes in their lives as they navigate the challenges they face and reach the goals that they aspire to achieve.

Lesa is passionate about helping clients find peace. She is honored to be able to participate in each client’s journey to growth and healing. She is a licensed clinical social worker who approaches therapy through an attachment perspective, believing in the healing power of safe connection. She especially finds joy in helping people gain a greater understanding of themselves and what matters most to them and experience wholehearted living. She respects the perseverance it takes to continue trying in the midst of significant pain and Lesa is committed to helping with hope and healing. She is currently seeing clients in-person and via telehealth.

I have been a therapist for 10+ years. I received my Masters of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Syracuse University. I have specialized training for trauma, anxiety, and attachment, depression, family systems, addiction, and perinatal and postpartum. My range of experience includes residential treatment programs for troubled teens, intensive outpatient, and community mental health. I love working with all ages.

Hi, I'm Shelley Sims, LMFT.

I believe healing happens when people feel truly seen, understood, and accepted. My goal is to create a warm, supportive space where you can show up exactly as you are—without judgment or pressure to have everything figured out.

I work with adults, teens, and couples who are navigating anxiety, trauma, depression, relationship challenges, ADHD, OCD, burnout, life transitions, and low self-worth. Many of my clients have spent years putting everyone else first and are ready to reconnect with themselves, set healthier boundaries, and build lives that feel more peaceful and fulfilling.

My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to your unique needs. I draw from evidence-based therapies including EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Gottman Method, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and somatic, nervous system-informed techniques. Together, we'll identify unhelpful patterns, process painful experiences, and develop practical skills that create lasting change.

Whether you're healing from childhood wounds, working through relationship struggles, managing overwhelming emotions, or simply feeling stuck, you don't have to do it alone. I believe growth is possible at any stage of life, and I would be honored to walk alongside you as you rediscover your strengths and move toward the life you want.

Taking the first step can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to have it all figured out before reaching out. If you're ready to begin your healing journey, I'd love to help.

Hello—I’m so glad you’re here.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and I received my Master’s degree from the University of Utah in 2009. I deeply believe in the value of seeking support—because being human means navigating both grief and gratitude, often at the same time.

There are seasons in life when we need additional support, and you don’t have to move through those alone. I strive in helping you reconnect with yourself, build self-trust, and make sense of what you’re carrying.

I specialize in women’s mental health, anxiety, betrayal trauma, divorce, grief, and loss.

Life often throws us into unpredictable, high-stress environments—and navigating those challenges can feel like an intense journey of its own. If you are feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, or carrying the weight of trauma, you don't have to navigate the trail alone.

I specialize in working with individuals who operate in high-stress, high-consequence roles—including military service members, veterans, first responders, and healthcare professionals. Whether you are dealing with critical incident stress, chronic burnout, or complex trauma, I provide a grounded, practical space tailored to the unique culture and demands of your work.

My approach is deeply informed by years of hands-on experience in high-stakes settings. After starting my career as a Wilderness EMT in 2016 and enlisting in the Army National Guard in 2018, I earned my Master’s in Social Work (MSW) from Utah State University. Since then, I’ve served as a Behavioral Health Officer in the National Guard and worked across emergency departments, crisis and disaster response, public education, and outpatient mental health.

Using evidence-based, trauma-informed therapies, my goal is to help you process difficult experiences, build sustainable resilience, and regain a sense of balance. Outside of the clinic, you’ll find me teaching CPR and Wilderness First Aid, spending time with my family, and finding adventure outdoors—a mindset I bring into therapy as we work together to help you thrive, no matter what environment you're navigating.

Hi, I'm Drue, LCSW and founder of Reset and Rise Counseling. I work with adult women who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck or carrying more than they can manage on their own. I bring years of experience from private practice and a Level 1 Trauma Center, supporting individuals and families through some of life's most challenging moments. As a mother of 5 and a grandmother, I understand how complex and demanding life can be.

I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor. As a counselor, I have worked in public schools, adult and youth residential facilities, online counseling, wilderness programs, private practice, and mental health facilities. My areas of expertise include sexual abuse, domestic violence, substance abuse, parenting, and leadership. I have presented at many local, state, and national professional conferences and have taught many masters’ level mental health courses for the past 20+ years. Currently, I am the Assistant Program Director and Associate Professor of Counseling at Rocky Mountain University of Health Professions. Prior to my work in counseling and academia, I served a tour of duty in Germany as an officer in the US Army and then back in America as a bank branch manager. I graduated from Brigham Young University with degrees in Corporate Communications (BA) and Educational Psychology (M.Ed.) and at the University of the Cumberlands (Ph.D.) in Counselor Education and Supervision.

I've been doing this work long enough to know that no two people heal the same way. My practice is built around that reality. I work with clients from childhood through late life — across trauma, grief, PTSD, ADHD, anxiety, and the particular kind of exhaustion that comes from carrying too much for too long. I'm EMDR-certified and trained in Neurofeedback and Childhood Complex Trauma, and I hold a gerontology certification for clients working through aging, loss, or end-of-life transitions. I don't use a one-size-fits-all model — I listen first, then we figure out together what kind of support will actually help you move forward.
