TheraTree Counseling
Time to stop surviving and start becoming who you were meant to be
Compassionate Therapy for when your life looks fine - but feels heavy
When Your Life Looks Fine—But Feels Heavy
You’re the one everyone leans on—at home, at work, in crisis.
But once the day winds down, you’re left with racing thoughts, lingering resentment, or a sense of disconnection you can’t quite name.
You might find yourself binge-eating after the kids go to bed, stuck in a cycle of guilt and shame. Or maybe you’re replaying moments from your childhood, wishing you could finally move on.
Every morning, you dread the mirror. You bite your tongue in conversations. You give and give—and feel more alone than ever.
Sound familiar? Let’s talk.
You Were Never Too Sensitive—You Were Just Unseen
At Thera Tree Counseling, we work with adults navigating the silent wounds of childhood emotional neglect, people-pleasing, body shame, and past abuse.
Many of our clients were taught to survive by being the easy one, the helper, the achiever. But those roles come at a cost.
In therapy, we’ll gently explore where those patterns came from—so you can finally make space for who you are.
What We Help With
Emotionally Immature Parents
If your parent couldn’t support your emotional needs or made everything about them, you likely carry deep self-doubt and guilt. We help Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents reclaim their voice and rebuild a healthy sense of self.
Eating & Body Image
Whether you’re stuck in binge cycles, chronic dieting, or body hatred, you’re not alone. We offer trauma-informed body image therapy and self-esteem therapy that helps you come home to your body with compassion, not criticism.
Relationships & Boundaries
You want connection, but often feel like you disappear in relationships. We support clients in unlearning people-pleasing and setting boundaries without guilt, so you can love others without losing yourself.
Sexual Abuse & Complex Trauma
If you’ve experienced sexual abuse or betrayal trauma, you may feel unsafe in your body or unsure of your story. We hold space for gentle healing—no pushing, no judgment. Just care.
You Don’t Need to Carry This Alone
Therapy isn’t about “fixing” you—it’s about meeting you exactly where you are, with tools that work.
At TheraTree Counseling, we bring compassion, clinical skill, and deep respect for your pace and story. Together, we’ll work to heal the parts of you that still feel stuck—so you can start living with more trust, more ease, and more choice.

Meet Your Therapist
Hi, I’m Susan Sayler, LPC—Colorado native, empath, Enneagram 9w1, and a Certified Eating Disorder Specialist (in training).
I’m trained in EMDR, Somatic Experiencing (Intermediate), and trauma-informed approaches.
I specialize in working with adults who grew up with emotionally immature parents, experience low self-worth, struggle with eating issues, or feel trapped in toxic relationship patterns.
My goal is simple: to help you reconnect with your body, your boundaries, and your sense of self.
You Are Not Too Much—and You’re Not Too Late
You may have been taught to shrink yourself, to prioritize others, to “just move on.” But healing starts when you choose yourself, maybe for the first time. If you’re ready to stop surviving and start feeling again, we’re here for you.
