Lany MettlerProfessional Counseling Intern

Hi there! My name is Lany (she/her), and I am a student intern in the final semester of my graduate program in Mental Health Counseling at Adams State University. I am passionate about helping others and specialize in working with young children and adolescents through play therapy, movement therapy, art therapy, and cognitive behavior therapy approaches. I also incorporate mindfulness practices and Gestalt theory to deepen self-awareness and foster meaningful growth. While I specialize in certain areas, I welcome the opportunity to work with individuals of all ages and backgrounds.

I am dedicated to supporting those navigating life's challenges, including healing from trauma, coping with sexual abuse, and embracing significant transitions such as coming out or managing family struggles. My goal is to create a safe and affirming space where clients feel heard, valued, and empowered to explore their experiences and discover their inner strength.

With a person-centered approach, I emphasize empathy, respect, and non-judgmental support. By integrating mindfulness practices and creative techniques, I strive to help clients develop meaningful coping strategies, nurture resilience, and inspire personal growth on their journey toward healing and self-discovery.

When I’m not working, I spend most of my time outdoors, hiking or walking my dog on the beautiful trails around Boulder. I look forward to meeting you and walking alongside you on your path toward well-being!
