Top Idaho teenagers therapists who accept St. Luke's Health Plan

I have been an independent clinician since 2013 and in private practice since 2017. I strive to provide clients with a safe, calm, open therapeutic environment. I believe we are all individuals and there is no one size fits all approach. Therefore, I tailor therapeutic treatments to the need and the goals of my clients. I am painfully aware that some of life’s transitions can be difficult to cope with: be it a loss of a loved one, a new illness, a chronic illness, a disability, depression or just everyday life. Whatever the case may be, we all need help and somebody to talk to during our life’s journey. Some of the conditions I treat include chronic illnesses, disabilities, mental illness, trauma, post-traumatic stress disorder, grief and loss. I specialize in working with families who may have a member that is disabled as well as family situations. I am here to help you improve your journey through life. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my wife and our three children.

Life can be challenging. A lot of events and experiences happen unexpectedly, and it can be difficult to find a sense of control and tools to support yourself. Even when life feels confusing, the weight of pressure or expectations feels heavy, or you aren’t sure what next steps to try and navigate, I know that you have strength and resilience. Simply reaching out and starting the process is empowerment in action. Together, we can discover and refine the strengths and resources you have to better serve you and enhance your confidence in managing life stressors. I can’t change past or present stressors and hardships, but I am here to walk alongside you. I aim to provide a safe and secure place to process emotions, events, or relationships causing distress. Together we can explore strategies that foster acceptance, develop coping skills, and uncover solutions aligned with your goals and values. I operate from a client-centered approach that focuses on the person and the systems they interact with. I integrate techniques from CBT, Grief Therapy, ACT as well as emotion-focused and somatic awareness. I’ve guided clients with Grief/Loss, Bereavement, Anxiety, Depression, Life Transitions, Workplace Difficulties, Chronic Disease and other presenting issues. It takes courage to reach out for support, and I commend you for taking this step! Together, let’s embark on a journey of growth, healing, and hope.

My name is Renee Sullivan. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and EMDR Certified Therapist. I am a compassionate and dedicated therapist specializing in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a research-backed therapeutic approach designed to help individuals heal from trauma, anxiety, and emotional distress. With over 10 years of experience in the mental health field, I offer a safe, supportive environment where clients can explore and process difficult emotions, memories, and life experiences. As an LPC and EMDR therapist, I work with clients who are struggling with a wide range of issues, including Anxiety, PTSD, Complex Trauma, Depression, Grief and Relationship concerns. Through the EMDR process, I help individuals reprocess distressing memories and beliefs, allowing for greater emotional resilience, improved mental health, and a renewed sense of empowerment. In addition to EMDR, I integrate a variety of therapeutic modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, Solution Focused Brief Therapy and Faith-based Counseling to tailor the approach to each client's unique needs and goals. With a warm, client-centered approach, I foster a trusting therapeutic relationship that encourages healing and growth. Clients describe me as empathetic, patient, and dedicated to helping them achieve lasting change.

In a world that continues to turn with or without us, we often wonder where we can get off in order to regroup. When we are expected to fulfill all of the everyday roles that we have taken on, we tend to lose touch with ourselves. My purpose is to provide an open, restorative and non-judgmental healing space for you. I am pleased to work with individuals who want help with anxiety, depression, trauma and grief. As well as providing support during life transitions, unexpected changes and personal growth. I don't believe in the cookie cutter approach, everyone is different and has different needs. I believe the client should have complete autonomy on their journey. I am here to support you as you move through healing from anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, anger management or even if you just need someone to listen. The goal for me is to make sure that the client feels welcomed, respected and safe. I look forward to walking with you on this new journey.

My approach is gentle and compassionate, as well as direct. My intention is to create a safe space for you to explore the areas of life and challenges that matter most to you. I believe we all have solutions and resilience to meet life's challenges, and as a therapist I am here to support you with uncovering your own strengths, resources, and clarity. Some areas of specialty include anxiety, stress, grief, relationship challenges, chronic health recovery, financial therapy, and making changes in daily habits to support overall wellness. I graduated from Naropa University with a Masters in Dance/Movement Therapy and Somatic Counseling. As a somatic therapist, I support relating to the body as a resource and incredibly useful tool to connect with the body, mind, and nervous system. I offer mindfulness tools that can help with basics such as sleep and stress relief, as well as getting more in touch with what you need at a deeper level moving forward.

Hi! I’m a mom, wife, and a lifelong learner with a deep appreciation for both the big and small joys in life. I have lived the majority of my life in the Boise, Idaho area and grew up in Denver, Colorado. When I’m not working with clients, you’ll find me crocheting, paddle boarding, practicing yoga, walking, or just soaking in time with friends and family—especially in the mountains. I’m also a big fan of my fur babies, the calming sound of the ocean, and the irresistible allure of tacos! My Approach to Therapy I believe that everyone has the capacity to grow, heal, and discover deeper self-awareness when they are given a safe and compassionate space to do so. In our work together, my goal is to help you explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences without judgment. I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches to create a personalized plan that aligns with you—your needs, your pace, and your goals. Whether you’re looking to understand yourself better, work through past challenges, or navigate difficult emotions, I’m here to support you. Together, we’ll uncover blind spots, process feelings, and explore new perspectives that empower you to make meaningful changes in your life. Ultimately, I’m here to walk beside you as you move toward greater self-discovery and a more fulfilling, balanced life.
