Mara Thornberg
LPC, LCPC, NCC / Owner
After growing up in a neighborhood and family shaped by substance abuse, Mara transformed her lived experience into a professional mission to help others navigate generational trauma and find stability.
Those experiences, combined with her service in the National Guard and later on Active Duty, gave her a deep respect for invisible wounds. Mara earned her BS in Family Studies and Human Development, then her MA in Counseling, so she could offer informed, grounded support to people carrying heavy stories.
Remington
Chief Snuggle Officer
Therapy can be hard, but Remi makes it a little easier. With paws-on experience in tail wags, naps, and soulful presence, Remi brings warmth and levity to our counseling space. Remi specializes in stress reduction, unconditional acceptance, the occasional comedic interruption, nonjudgmental presence, fur-based mindfulness, and the occasional snore of solidarity. Warning: side effects may include spontaneous smiling and feeling seen. She doesn’t take insurance, but she does accept compliments.
Why Choose Me?
National Certified Counselor
Recognized for Exceptional Professionalism
Honored with a Professionalism Award from the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor, I carry forward their trust by showing up with steadiness, integrity, and deep respect for every client's story.
EMDR Across Colorado, Montana & Texas
Across Colorado, Montana and Texas, I offer EMDR sessions rooted in trauma awareness, with clear fees, flexible subscriptions, and sliding-scale options that honor your growth, autonomy, and real-life finances.
From Hardship To Healing
I grew up in poverty, around substance abuse, and mental health struggles, then joined the Army to serve, learn, and lead. Working since my teens taught me grit, while my BS in Family Studies and Human Development and MA in Counseling gave me language for what many of us live. That mix of lived experience and training guides how I sit with complex stories today.
How I Practice Today
I use a person-centered, brain and body approach that combines EMDR, somatic work, sandtray, and trauma-focused psychotherapy. Together we track how your story lives in your thoughts, emotions, and nervous system, then build skills for regulation, boundaries, and connection so you can feel safer in your own skin and live your daily life feeling like your best self.
