It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step, which I would consider a HUGE victory, I would be honored to support you and walk that path with you! My name is Charlie Eliza Boutillette. I live in a very remote, rural and beautiful Valley in Southern Colorado which is known for large migratory bird populations, being the headwaters for the Rio Grande and the many 14,000 ft. mountains that surround it. I have been a practicing psychotherapist since 1995 after receiving an MA and subsequent licensure. I have provided services across the lifespan, from pre-school children to geriatrics-aged adults living in a nursing homes and have had the opportunity to focus on individuals, families, couples, and groups.  My early practice took root at the San Luis Valley Community Mental Health Center, which gave me experience and training in dealing with a range of issues from stress reduction and change/phase of life issues (moving, marriage, divorce), significant mental health issues such as schizophrenia and other thought disorders, as well as mood disorders such as major depression and anxiety. I have always loved this work and the opportunity to be a resource and ally for my patients as we, together, travel the path of change and growth. As I have developed my practice and honed my interventions, my therapeutic philosophy has naturally evolved. One part of my philosophy that remains constant is the belief that therapy is about safely exploring the potential freedom life has to offer while examining our perceptions, observations, assumptions, thoughts, emotions and underlying motivations in our daily lives. It is my goal to help you incorporate this same philosophy and move in the direction of your highest self and consummate wellness. To do this we will set goals for therapy with measurable objectives and will be in regular communication both about the goals themselves as well as the moment to moment practice and experience in reaching them. I use therapeutic opportunities to confront issues that arise in the session, use solution-focused techniques to practice in "real life," and often make homework assignments. I believe in an, "...act as if.." practice - creating opportunities for you to enact best possible outcomes or to create new stories about your life. As your therapist, I commit to always meeting you where you are, be with you fully as you drive the therapeutic process, and encourage you to have an open mind as we begin walking the path toward total wellness. I look forward to working with you!

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Colorado and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida. I have been working with a variety of client issues for over 7 years. I specialize in treating teens and adults who experience a variety of roadblocks in life. I take a collaborative approach to counseling and therapy, in that you and I will together determine your best treatment, and I have a deep respect for your choice in seeking help. Issues may include: anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress, relationship concerns, substance abuse and other addiction issues, disordered eating and poor relationship with food, family of origin difficulties, attachment issues, low self-esteem, communication problems, life transition, personal growth, codependency, disordered personality traits, women's issues, grief, obsessive-compulsive behaviors, anger management, problems with work/career, sexuality concerns, low resilience, or concerns with intimacy. I take a holistic view of problems in our lives and work with you as the expert of your own experience. I believe compassion, understanding, and the therapeutic relationship are valuable as the framework within which change will occur. I use a combination of approaches that will be catered to your individual needs, including cognitive-behavioral strategies, acceptance and commitment principles, mindfulness exercises, existential theory, a psychodynamic understanding of the development of problems, and other approaches that may be most useful. Asking for help is difficult. Taking that first step to do so is courageous and strong.

If this is the case, I work from a unique and very interactive approach to help you find peace and move forward. We will work on understanding the mind-body connection and how it impacts you. I also enjoy helping people advance their lives utilizing a coaching approach. My therapy style has been developed from six years active duty as an Army Officer, 10 years in corporate leadership, 15 years running my own successful business, and seven years as a therapist helping others. My clients often enjoy my challenging and focused style and find comfort as we draw out their inner dialogue which is negatively impacting their current emotional state. Outside of therapy, I love techie stuff and enjoy sports, working out, and playing video games.
