My Mission

At Deer Creek Therapy and Coaching, I am committed to offering compassionate, effective support to individuals, couples, and families. My mission is to help you and your loved ones connect with all aspects of yourselves—building awareness of your emotions, thoughts, and bodily sensations while breaking free from unhelpful patterns. I strive to empower you to recognize your inherent worth and the strength you possess in both your life and relationships. By creating a space where you feel truly seen and validated, I facilitate transformative work that fosters growth and healing. Change can be challenging and effective therapy encourages growth and pushes you beyond your comfort zone. Together, we will work toward creating meaningful, lasting change and cultivating deeper, more fulfilling connections.

Meet Renea Nilsson, LCSW

Owner, Therapist, Coach

With over 15 years of experience as a therapist, I am deeply passionate about helping my clients navigate their challenges and achieve meaningful growth. I earned my Master's degree from the University of Denver and have had the privilege of training and practicing in both large organizations and private practice settings.


Throughout my career, I’ve received specialized training in working with individuals and couples facing relationship distress, including intimate partner issues, family dynamics, and parenting challenges. My greatest passion lies in supporting people as they create deeper, more fulfilling connections with one another, fostering healthier, more meaningful relationships.


In my own life, I am most joyful when spending time with family and friends. I have a deep respect for nature and enjoy skiing and hiking. I also enjoy yoga, learning, and contemplating. My family and I moved from Colorado to the Heber Valley in 2018 and I am so grateful to call this beautiful community home. 

My Approach

At the core of my approach to working with people is my belief that each and every one of us is a person worthy of respect, empathy, and love. I think holistically and focus on the mind, body, and spirit. The methods I use are strongly supported by research. I am trained and practiced in the following therapeutic approaches:

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

Somatic Experiencing Therapy (SE)

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Whoever you are, no matter how lonely, the world offers itself to your imagination, calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting - over and over announcing your place in the family of things.

Relationship Therapy

Relationships can be challenging, but they also have the potential to be deeply fulfilling and transformative. Healthy relationships require ongoing self-awareness, empathy, respect, emotional attunement, vulnerability, sacrifice, and flexibility from both partners. Without conscious effort and the right tools, it’s easy to fall into unhealthy patterns that can lead to misunderstandings, emotional distance, and even harm.


I offer a safe, supportive space to identify and address these harmful patterns. I help partners understand each other’s needs more clearly, foster deeper emotional intimacy, and develop better communication skills. As a skilled relationship therapist, I will help you learn how to manage conflict more effectively, rebuild trust, and create a relationship dynamic that is rooted in mutual respect and understanding.


The benefits of couple’s therapy go beyond just resolving conflict. It can help you and your partner reconnect on a deeper level, rediscover your shared values, and reestablish a sense of partnership and teamwork. Whether you're dealing with specific challenges or simply want to strengthen your bond, therapy can offer the insight, tools, and support you need to cultivate a healthier, more fulfilling relationship.

Anxiety and Stress Management Therapy

Mindfulness and body awareness are foundational practices I use with clients to address anxiety. These tools offer tangible skills that allow you to engage with and manage the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that contribute to anxiety and stress. Through mindful body and movement techniques, I’ll help you disrupt anxious patterns, creating space for greater calm and control.


Together, we’ll work on interrupting the cycle of anxiety about anxiety itself, helping you break free from the fear of feeling anxious. Instead of avoiding anxiety-provoking triggers, I’ll guide you in facing them with a toolkit of skills that empower you to respond with resilience and composure.


Most importantly, I’ll support you in reconnecting with your inner strength and resilience—qualities that anxiety can often obscure. By practicing these skills, you’ll not only reduce anxiety but also amplify your sense of empowerment and well-being.

Eating and Body Image Therapy

Treating eating and body image challenges requires specialized knowledge and sensitivity to ensure that no further harm is done. I work closely with each client to uncover and address the underlying triggers, personal histories, and patterns that contribute to unhealthy behaviors. My approach is rooted in providing a compassionate and supportive environment, while also holding clients accountable for the behavioral changes necessary for healing and growth.


Collaboration is key to effective treatment, which is why I work alongside a client’s other providers—including physicians, registered dietitians, and psychiatrists—to create a comprehensive, holistic treatment plan that best supports the client’s recovery journey.  

Depression Therapy

You can rediscover your vitality, and I’m here to help you. Depression can feel like a heavy weight, dimming your inner light. It may leave you feeling both numb and painfully overwhelmed, sometimes all at once. I understand how isolating and exhausting this experience can be, and I’ll be with you every step of the way as you navigate this challenging journey toward healing.


Together, we will explore all aspects of who you are—embracing even the darker parts that feel difficult or intimidating, while also reconnecting with the brighter, often hidden parts of yourself that depression has obscured. You don’t have to face this alone. I’m here to support you in reclaiming your strength and vitality, one step at a time.

Parent Coaching

Are you looking to build a deeper, more respectful connection with your children while empowering them with resilience and a strong sense of self? If so, you're in the right place. Many parents want what's best for their family, but often, they haven’t had the opportunity to develop the skills needed to navigate the challenges of parenting. In those difficult moments, you might find yourself unsure of what to do, or even when you do know the right approach, something inside you gets triggered, making it hard to manage your own emotions and reactions.


I can help you become more aware of your emotions, body sensations, thoughts, and behaviors. With this awareness, I will help you cultivate greater compassion for yourself and be more intentional in your parenting. Together, we’ll work to strengthen your connection with your children and support your family in thriving with confidence and stability.
