Rocky Mountain Counseling Services
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
With over 25 years of experience helping individuals, teens, and families navigate life’s challenges, I offer a warm, compassionate, and effective approach to therapy. I specialize in supporting women in all stages, midlife and beyond, as they move through transitions such as divorce, parenting changes, and the empty nest stage, as well as addressing anxiety, depression, mood changes, trauma, and relationship concerns.
In addition to traditional therapy, I am a Licensed Plant Medicine Facilitator in Training offering psychedelic-assisted therapy, including ketamine and psilocybin therapy. These modalities have been shown to help reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and trauma while fostering greater connection, healing, and self-understanding. My approach combines deep respect for these medicines with evidence-based therapeutic support in a safe, nurturing environment.
I am also co-founder of Wellness and Wisdom Journeys, where I lead wellness retreats for women in Colorado and internationally. These small, carefully curated retreats weave together yoga, somatic practices, creative expression, and guided healing experiences designed to reconnect mind, body, and spirit.
Whether you’re seeking healing, renewal, or greater meaning in your life, I offer a safe space to explore your journey with care and compassion.

Jessica Evers Killebrew, Psy.D.
Registered Psychotherapist, Psy.D.
I am genuine, warm and present. I invite all of you to show up. In this safe place, a true exploration of what keeps us stuck can happen where we unfold together a deeper wisdom. It is my hope to embrace challenges with strengths, pain with love, and fear with compassion (acceptance & bravery!) I am happy to connect via phone prior to making an appointment to assess fit and get a feel for one another.
Together, we can explore the process of waking up, to what's inside and discovering how to ground from a place of purpose. Come get curious about intuition and your truth. I focus on the whole of you, using your strengths to heal. I use mindfulness to increase self-compassion, non-judgment, acceptance, awareness and to shift. This integrative approach allows us to look at all aspects of well-being and recognize patterns that no longer serve you - getting you in touch with your potential. Niche: Anxiety, motherhood, mindfulness.
PLEASE NOTE: I am an eco-therapist, I see clients in-person outside in nature all year round, or online via tele-therapy.

Lance Kair
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, LPC
Lance Kair is a licensed therapist specializing in anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, life transitions, men's mental health, emotional regulation, and personal growth. He works with adults who are seeking more than symptom relief, helping them understand the underlying patterns that contribute to stress, depression, anxiety, relationship conflict, low self-esteem, and feelings of being stuck or disconnected.
He developed the YAM Approach (TM), a framework that helps clients develop greater self-awareness, emotional resilience, and personal agency. Lance believes that lasting change occurs when individuals learn to understand what is actually happening, their thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and nervous system responses, interactions, rather than simply trying to manage or suppress them.
Drawing from Somatic Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and trauma-informed care, Lance helps clients heal from past experiences, improve relationships, overcome self-defeating patterns, and build a stronger connection to their authentic selves. His work is especially effective for individuals struggling with anxiety, childhood trauma, relationship challenges, burnout, chronic stress, and questions of identity, purpose, and meaning.
Lance creates a compassionate, direct, and collaborative therapeutic environment where clients can safely explore difficult experiences while developing practical skills for everyday life. He views therapy as a process of empowerment, helping people move beyond survival mode and toward a life characterized by clarity, confidence, emotional flexibility, and meaningful connection.
Whether working with trauma, anxiety, relationship difficulties, or personal transformation, Lance's goal is to help clients cultivate lasting change by strengthening their ability to respond to life with intention, authenticity, and a deep sense of personal agency.

Online in Boulder, CO
Boulder is home to the University of Colorado Boulder and has one of the highest educational attainment rates and most progressive cultures of any American city, with exceptional access to therapy—CU's graduate programs produce many trained clinicians—alongside the specific pressures of a city with extreme housing costs, intense social comparison around physical fitness and achievement, and a large university student population. The 2021 King Soopers mass shooting created community-level trauma that remains present in Boulder's collective consciousness, and local therapists have significant experience with trauma-informed care. The city's outdoor recreation culture and emphasis on wellness are genuine assets but can also create pressure around physical appearance and lifestyle perfection that feeds anxiety and disordered eating. Common therapy concerns include academic perfectionism, housing insecurity anxiety, trauma, the psychological pressure of an exceptionally high-achieving and health-conscious culture, and student mental health.
