Raelynn Grant, LCPC and Dr. April Watts, LPC: Co-Owners
We met in 2014 while working together as school counselors. Shortly thereafter, we began sharing our separate (and amazingly similar) visions about having a space for counseling, movement, and community--a space with yoga, lots of plants, and healing of all kinds. A little over five years later, we decided to take the leap and open Boise River Counseling when the perfect space became available right next door to where April was currently renting space, which also happened to be where Raelynn used to see clients in her beginning days as a counselor. This was the same summer we climbed two of Idaho's 12,000 foot peaks together (see photo above). This space is truly our daydream, realized. We feel so lucky and excited to see our vision come to life!
