Art Therapist in Denver, Leanne Morton
If you’ve landed on this page, you might be feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or like you’ve somehow lost yourself in the swirl of life.
Maybe you’re a deep-feeling woman who has done years of inner work. You’re no stranger to growth, yet you still find yourself stuck in old patterns. You’re sensitive, intuitive, and craving a deeper sense of wholeness—but you’re tired of talk therapy and ready for something more embodied, more expressive, more you.
Or maybe you’re a new mom, exhausted by the mental load, wondering if you’re doing enough—or doing it right. You miss who you used to be before the sleepless nights, constant caregiving, and silent pressure to “have it all together.” And you’re longing for a space to unravel, reconnect with yourself, and be truly seen.
I see you. And you’re not alone.
Art Therapist in Denver, Mom of Two, and Space Holder for Transformation
Welcome. I’m so glad you’re here. My name is Leanne. I’m a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in the State of Colorado and a registered art therapist (ATR), and I specialize in working with clients struggling with anxiety, trauma, toxic relationship patterns, and the challenges that come with motherhood. Whether you're moving through a major life transition, carrying the weight of old trauma, or simply feeling disconnected from who you are, you deserve support that honors all of you.
I know this space intimately—not just as a therapist, but as someone who has walked this path. My own healing began with deep, soul-level trauma work. Before I could put language to my experience, art helped me identify the truth of what I was carrying. Through the creative process, I continue to find clarity, connection, and the essence of myself.
Later, as a mother, I faced a different kind of unraveling. Despite years of experience as an art therapist in Denver, nothing prepared me for how disorienting modern motherhood felt. I was shocked by how lonely, anxious, and unseen I felt. That experience didn’t make me an expert, but it made me fiercely committed to creating spaces where other women don’t have to go it alone.
That’s what my work is rooted in now: offering a grounded, creative, compassionate space where your full self is welcome. A place to breathe, express, feel, and heal. Together, we gently explore the patterns, pain, and possibilities that live beneath the surface—so you can become the artist of your life.
Who I Help as an Art Therapist in Denver
The Overwhelmed Mom
You're holding so much—and still feeling like it’s never enough. You long for calm, connection, and time to just be. You miss your creativity, your autonomy, your sense of self. You want a safe place to sort through the noise, reconnect with your body, and find a way to feel like yourself again.
I can help you process postpartum anxiety, rage, grief, and identity shifts—through a lens that’s supportive and nonjudgmental.
The Intuitive, Deep-Feeling Woman
You’ve done the inner work, but you’re craving something deeper. You’re sensitive, intuitive, and probably the one others turn to. But lately, you’ve been feeling depleted and out of alignment. You want to reconnect with your creative spark, trust your inner knowing, and do the next layer of healing from a place of softness.
Together, we’ll explore your story, uncover patterns, and support your nervous system with creative, body-centered tools.
