Chayne is very responsive.

Jul 2024

I cannot say enough good things about the relationship that has developed between Chayne and me. She has done an excellent job of pinpointing my concerns, helping me see options and perspectives, and cheering me on along my journey. She has a delightful demeanor and is instantly likable. Even when we don’t speak for extended periods, she knows exactly the right course to take to address my concerns and keep me on path. She knows the intricate details of my story, and uses this insight for my next steps. She is amazing and highly recommended.

More about Charlie

It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step, which I would consider a HUGE victory, I would be honored to support you and walk that path with you!

My name is Charlie Eliza Boutillette. I live in a very remote, rural and beautiful Valley in Southern Colorado which is known for large migratory bird populations, being the headwaters for the Rio Grande and the many 14,000 ft. mountains that surround it.

I have been a practicing psychotherapist since 1995 after receiving an MA and subsequent licensure. I have provided services across the lifespan, from pre-school children to geriatrics-aged adults living in a nursing homes and have had the opportunity to focus on individuals, families, couples, and groups. 

My early practice took root at the San Luis Valley Community Mental Health Center, which gave me experience and training in dealing with a range of issues from stress reduction and change/phase of life issues (moving, marriage, divorce), significant mental health issues such as schizophrenia and other thought disorders, as well as mood disorders such as major depression and anxiety. I have always loved this work and the opportunity to be a resource and ally for my patients as we, together, travel the path of change and growth.

As I have developed my practice and honed my interventions, my therapeutic philosophy has naturally evolved. One part of my philosophy that remains constant is the belief that therapy is about safely exploring the potential freedom life has to offer while examining our perceptions, observations, assumptions, thoughts, emotions and underlying motivations in our daily lives.

It is my goal to help you incorporate this same philosophy and move in the direction of your highest self and consummate wellness. To do this we will set goals for therapy with measurable objectives and will be in regular communication both about the goals themselves as well as the moment to moment practice and experience in reaching them. I use therapeutic opportunities to confront issues that arise in the session, use solution-focused techniques to practice in "real life," and often make homework assignments. I believe in an, "...act as if.." practice - creating opportunities for you to enact best possible outcomes or to create new stories about your life.

As your therapist, I commit to always meeting you where you are, be with you fully as you drive the therapeutic process, and encourage you to have an open mind as we begin walking the path toward total wellness.

I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Chayne is great. I couldn't have asked for a better therapist.

Feb 2024

Chayne has helped me through so much. She is a great listener, very patient and easy to get a long with. I really appreciate all the help she has given me.

Aug 2023

Chayne is confident, strong, and calm. She has helped me immensely. She provides concrete recommendations for things to do over the short and long-term. I instantly felt like I could talk to her, and she is a wonderful listener. I feel lucky to have been connected with her!

Aug 2023

So far my experience with Chanye has been very positive and helpful. I look forward to my therapy and the resources that Chanye provides.

May 2023

She is super understanding, I love how she genuinely cares and breaks whatever situation I’m going through down. There’s a constant switch in the conversation between her and I as I say something, and she can easily respond back. I love her style of communication and she’s amazing!

May 2023

Chayne has helped me navigate some of the most difficult times in my life. I’m still working on the tools but I’ve come so far with her help.

M.A.·Jun 2022

So helpful and always patient and listens meeting me at where I am and helping through with a plan and step by step

M.E.·May 2022

Chayne has helped me more than I ever thought possible. I now have hope that the anxiety and fear that I have lived with for so long can be managed by me using all the tools I now have. We need to do the work ourselves , but to have guidance and support the whole way through is beyond helpful. Chayne is the very best- intelligent, kind and just the right amount of firm when she needs to be. I wholeheartedly recommend her!

M.A.·Feb 2022

I love her she's helped me out so much with my depression anxiety I would not be pursuing school if it wasn't without her help

I.S.·Dec 2021

She’s very cool, and very helpful. No nonsense, but understanding. Highly recommend.

A.M.·Oct 2021

I’m having a tough year and Chayne helping me learn to navigate the hurdles. She’s been incredibly helpful.

M.A.·Oct 2021

I’ve never spoken to a counselor more attentive than her. She nails every subject and provides unbiased advice. I greatly appreciate her.

Y.A.·Jul 2021

I’ve only had a few meetings with her, but I think they have been helpful and I am excited to continue working with her.

A.M.·Jun 2021

Chayne has been an invaluable resource to me as I have navigated through a challenging time in my life. She is helping me learn how to help myself, and I have made substantial progress in so many areas with her support.

M.A.·Jun 2021

I've only had 2 video sessions with Chayne, but we've already made major headway. I always feel the biggest hurdle in successful therapy is finding the right therapist. Just like any other relationship in your life, you need to jive with your therapist for it to be a success. I wasn't extremely hopeful that the first therapist BetterHelp matched me with would be a perfect match, but boy was I wrong. I am so extremely grateful that Chayne was chosen for me - she is fantastic. I've never been this excited about therapy before, so that speaks volumes in and of itself.

N.A.·Jun 2021

I love better help it's hella have improved my mental state over the past month of me using it. I'm starting to feel happy I'm starting to get back into what I normally do. Thank you better help.

I.S.·Nov 2020

I've been working with Chayne off and on for over a year now and I am so grateful for her guidance and listening. She's a lifesaver right now.

J.A.·Jun 2020

So far I’m enjoying our sessions a lot! It feels like she’s making an effort to connect with me and really work with me on finding ways to grow/be healthier when it comes to my overall mental health and other things in my life I wish to address.

S.U.·May 2020

She's been so helpful and always met me where I was. I'll always be grateful. Be blessed.

E.L.·May 2018

Thank you.
