Take one conscious breath.
Breathe in as the bloom opens, out as it settles. A bell marks each breath. Tap again to rest.
This is the heart of the work we do together.
Who Comes Here
I'm not here to pathologize you.
Most people come to therapy to suffer less. That's a good reason. The work I find most compelling is what comes after, building a life with real depth, real connection, and something that feels like aliveness. And it happens inside a real relationship. Two people in honest contact. No guru, no pedestal, no one above anyone.
Capable, and still hitting walls
You're succeeding by most measures: capable, self-aware, effective. And the same patterns keep repeating anyway. Often that's the signature of an interesting mind. I specialize in neurodivergence, particularly ADHD.
In love, and out of touch
Couples who love each other but seem to have lost their connection, and want their spark back. The love isn't gone; it's buried under pattern. That's workable.
Asking deeper questions
People who came for relief and stayed for the bigger questions, who they are and what they actually want. Sometimes that looks like nervous-system skills, sometimes a slower inquiry into who you take yourself to be.
"If you're willing to do the work, we're a good fit."
Areas of Expertise
Four paths into the same depth.
Every course of therapy here rests on the same ground, presence, evidence, and a real relationship. These four are simply where I spend most of my time.
PACT Couples Therapy
Attachment-informed, psychobiological couples work. For partners who love each other and want their spark back, building a relationship where you're truly in it together.
Explore this work →Gestalt Therapy
Experiential and present-centered. Rather than only talking about your life, we pay attention to what's happening in the moment, which is where real choice begins.
Explore this work →Depth Psychology & IFS
The questions beneath the ones you came in with, meaning, longing, the stories that quietly organize a life. Parts work (IFS) gives that depth a practical map.

Meet Your Therapist
Dylan Leigh, MA, LPC
Before I was a therapist, I worked in a cognitive-affective science lab, helping write and publish research on meditation, compassion, and emotion regulation. I loved the science, and I kept noticing what the data pointed back to, that people change in relationship, in practice, in a life actually lived. So I went to the room where that happens.
These days I split my time between this practice and Naropa University's Graduate School of Clinical Mental Health Counseling Psychology, where I help train new therapists in foundational counseling skills, Gestalt, and the application of mindfulness in counseling. I also consult with businesses and organizations on mindfulness and emotional intelligence. Teaching keeps me honest, if I can't explain why something works, I don't use it.
In session I'm direct and unpretentious. No performance, no clinical distance. Some weeks the work is concrete, skills to steady your nervous system, a plan for the pattern that keeps biting you. Other weeks it's slower and more searching, closer to philosophy than technique. MBCT, PACT, Gestalt, IFS, and depth psychology are the tools I reach for most, and I fit the tool to you, not the other way around.
I specialize in neurodivergence, particularly ADHD, and in couples who still love each other but have lost the thread. Depression, anxiety, and substance-use recovery come up often. Most of the people I see aren't after a quick fix, they want to understand themselves and build something that holds.
I've been through my own dark nights of the soul, and they shaped the therapist I became, one who meets you as a person and not a diagnosis. Outside this work you'll find me with family and friends, in the mountains skiing, climbing, and trail running, or at the ocean surfing. It's a good life for remembering you have a body.

Questions People Ask
The practical stuff.
How much does therapy cost?
Individual sessions are $180 at the top of an income-based sliding scale, couples and family sessions $270, and the weekly men's group $60. The scale is honor-based with no verification, and the first 30-minute consultation is free.
Are you a psychologist?
No. I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with a master's degree in clinical mental health counseling from Naropa University. Counselors, social workers, and psychologists all provide psychotherapy; psychologists additionally do formal testing, and only psychiatrists and other medical providers prescribe medication. I do not prescribe. More on what the credentials mean.
Do you take insurance?
I am an out-of-network provider. I can give you a superbill to submit to your insurance for reimbursement, and many plans cover a portion of out-of-network mental health care.
Do you offer online therapy?
Yes. I am licensed in Colorado and see clients by secure video anywhere in the state, as well as in person at my office on Spruce Street in downtown Boulder. More about working online.
What do you specialize in?
Adult ADHD and neurodivergence, and couples therapy (PACT). Anxiety, depression, and substance use recovery are common concerns in my practice. My approach draws on mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, Gestalt, and depth psychology and IFS. I also run a weekly men's group.
What happens in the free consultation?
A relaxed 30-minute conversation, by video or phone, about what brings you in and whether we are a good fit. No commitment and no pressure either way.
How long does therapy take?
It depends on what you are here for. Some people come for a focused stretch of a few months around a specific problem. Others stay longer because the work keeps opening up. We will talk about this together and revisit it as we go.
