I’m Louise Chapman, a Licensed Professional Counselor in Virginia and Colorado, and a National Certified Counselor. I hold a Master of Arts in Human Development and Counseling from The George Washington University, with training in DBT, Trauma-Focused CBT, Play Therapy, and expressive arts interventions.

I’ve supported children, teens, adults, and families in schools, hospitals, community programs, intensive outpatient care, and private practice. These experiences have taught me that healing looks different for everyone — and that therapy works best when it is both structured and flexible, rooted in evidence while responsive to each person’s unique needs.

With children and teens, I often draw on play, art, and nature-based approaches to encourage emotional growth and resilience. With adults, I integrate DBT, mindfulness, and trauma-informed tools to reduce distress and strengthen coping. For families, I create a collaborative space to build healthier communication and connections at home.

I founded Open Skies Therapy to offer something different from traditional clinical settings — a practice that feels safe, human, and connected to real life. Whether in a quiet office, over telehealth, or outdoors surrounded by animals and nature, my goal is to meet clients where they are and create space for honesty, resilience, and growth. My hope is that Open Skies feels like a place wide open, like the sky itself — a space for every season of life.
