Deana Bianco, MA, Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate, NCC

Have you ever felt like you are doing everything “right” on the outside, but something still feels off on the inside? Maybe anxiety, stress, relationship struggles, past experiences, or major life changes have left you feeling disconnected from yourself. You may be someone who thinks deeply, feels deeply, and is ready to understand your story in a new way. I believe therapy is a collaborative process where we slow down, get curious, and explore the experiences that have shaped you. My approach blends narrative therapy, trauma-informed care, mindfulness, somatic practices, and EMDR-informed work to help you better understand yourself, heal from painful experiences, and create meaningful change. Before becoming a therapist, I worked as a journalist, which shaped the way I listen: with curiosity, compassion, and a belief that every person’s story deserves to be understood. I work with adults and couples navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, identity exploration, religious trauma, and the process of reconnecting with who they truly are. Therapy is not about becoming someone new. It is about uncovering the parts of yourself that may have been hidden, unheard, or overwhelmed. Together, we can explore your experiences, rewrite unhelpful patterns, and move toward a life that feels more authentic and fulfilling.

I provide individual therapy for adults and couples therapy for partners seeking to strengthen their relationship, improve communication, and navigate challenges together. I work with clients in Boulder, Colorado, and offer secure telehealth throughout Colorado. Many of my individual clients are thoughtful, creative, and driven people who may appear capable on the outside while feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck internally. They often come to therapy to work through anxiety, life transitions, identity exploration, grief, trauma, relationship challenges, or the desire to better understand themselves. In couples therapy, I help partners slow down difficult patterns, improve communication, rebuild connection, and better understand each other’s needs. I use a collaborative, compassionate approach informed by relationship therapy, trauma-informed care, and evidence-based practices. My approach blends narrative therapy, mindfulness, somatic work, and EMDR-informed therapy to help clients explore their experiences, heal from painful patterns, and create meaningful change. I believe therapy is a space where you can bring your whole story and be met with curiosity, respect, and compassion. I am a private-pay therapist and provide superbills for clients who wish to seek possible out-of-network reimbursement.
