Therapists for college students near 80309

I earned my B.A. in psychology from Winthrop University and an M.A. in Clinical Psychology from Columbia University, and I am currently pursuing a PhD in Counseling Psychology from the University of Denver. As a clinical intern, I take a deeply relational approach to therapy, grounded in cultural awareness, developmental understanding, and a commitment to meeting clients exactly where they are. I believe that people grow through connections, and I work collaboratively to build a therapeutic relationship that feels safe, authentic, and genuinely supportive. I enjoy working with children, teens, and adults as they navigate identity development, relationship concerns, and major life transitions. I strive to create a warm, attuned space where clients can explore their experiences, make meaning of their stories, and move toward greater clarity and self-understanding. Outside of my clinical work, I enjoy watching movies, playing outdoor club soccer, and practicing the clarinet to help me stay grounded, creative, and balanced.

I specialize in therapy for late teens (16+) and adults with OCD, complex trauma, anxiety, depression, challenging family dynamics, athletes and those who love and support athletes, those wanting to work on relationship difficulties. Using an integrative approach, I draw from evidence-based techniques including exposure and response prevention (ERP), person-centered, attachment-relational, trauma-informed, EMDR therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). I have additional training in ERP for OCD and phobias.

My approach is systemic, meaning that I take all factors into consideration – past, present and future. I focus on supporting issues related to anxiety, depression, ADD/ADHD, substance use, body image issues, trauma and relationship struggles. I obtained my Bachelor’s Degree in Family Studies, Master’s in Social Work and a post-graduate certificate in Marriage and Family Therapy. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Addictions Counselor. I have completed training as an Intuitive Eating Counselor through The Original Intuitive Eating Pros and Eye-movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy, and IFS foundational training.

As a therapist, I aim to help individuals navigate the sometimes messy, uncomfortable parts of growth so they can move toward a life that feels more authentic. I create a space for clients to be with and feel their emotions fully so that they stop controlling their behaviors. I believe that we must be intentional with what we spend our time and energy on. When we decide what matters most to us and channel our energy into those things, rather than the things that drain us, this is when we can create real, lasting change. Therapy with me is about learning how to shift your focus to the here and now; towards what strengthens you, rather than what drains you. I am a trauma-informed, relational, collaborative provider and when working with me, clients can expect a combination of compassionate challenging, emotional attunement and a warm, supportive presence. I am passionate about my work with teens, young adults and adults facing challenges like anxiety, depression, ADHD, life transitions, relationship struggles, self-esteem issues and trauma. I also specialize in EMDR, Brainspotting and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy and often incorporate a blend of modalities in treatment, depending on each client’s unique needs. If you’re ready to step into the next version of yourself, I’d love to be part of your journey. Let’s get started.

Dude, life be lifing, huh? You are SO not alone in that. Living in late-stage capitalism is enough for all of us to go to therapy. Your unique experiences and circumstances shape how you move through the world and navigating them can be burdensome. The good news? You don't have to keep pretending everything is okay. Here, you don't have to perform, filter, or pretend. I offer a relaxed, approachable space where you can show up exactly as you are, and I'd be honored to exist in that space with you.

Many of us move through life carrying stories that were never fully processed — experiences of loss, trauma, disconnection, or relationships that left us feeling unseen. I aim to create an inviting space where we can gently explore and honor these stories together. My approach to healing is integrative, spiritual, and deeply relational. I draw from somatic practices, attachment theory, and evidence-based psychotherapy to help clients explore the convergence between mind, body, and soul. I believe that meaningful change often happens through compassionate awareness of our emotions, patterned behavior, and our lived experiences. I am a trauma-informed psychotherapist-in-training passionate about helping people reconnect with themselves, their bodies, and their capacity to heal. My work centers around assisting the collective with processing trauma, overcoming obstacles, and rewiring unhelpful patterns primarily through movement and directive psychotherapy.

Many of the students I work with appear to have everything under control, yet privately feel overwhelmed, anxious, or unsure of themselves. You may be struggling with stress, perfectionism, relationships, family expectations, loneliness, depression, or major life transitions. Some students are navigating identity, independence, or the challenges of balancing academics, work, and personal life, or simply feel stuck in patterns they don't fully understand. My goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can better understand yourself, build resilience, strengthen relationships, and create lasting change.

Welcome! I am a former lawyer, turned second career psychotherapist, practicing as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California, Colorado and Utah.

I have over ten years of experience providing thoughtful, holistic care to people navigating life’s challenges. I especially enjoy working with college students who may be struggling with anxiety, relationships, identity, trauma, or simply trying to figure out who they are and where they fit. I use a trauma informed approach with a relational, coaching like dynamic where you are in the driver's seat. Maybe you’ve spent years feeling misunderstood, overwhelmed, or like you have to “mask” to fit in. Maybe past experiences have affected your relationships, confidence, or ability to feel safe and connected. Or maybe you’re navigating college while trying to understand yourself in a whole new way. Whether you’re working through past experiences, exploring neurodiversity, or simply looking for support during a major life transition, therapy can be a space to slow down, feel understood, and reconnect with your authentic self. My goal is to help you recognize the strengths you already have, develop tools that actually fit you, and build a life where you can thrive—not just survive.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate, I strive to create a safe, supportive space where you feel seen, heard, and valued.

Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, processing past experiences, or navigating a major life change, you don't have to face it by yourself.

I work especially well with students who may seem like they’re doing fine on the outside but are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, burned out, or stuck underneath it all. You may be struggling with family or relationship dynamics, questioning yourself, having difficulty setting boundaries, or trying to manage the pressure of school, work, and becoming more independent. I also enjoy working with students navigating ADHD, neurodivergence, depression, major life changes, substance use concerns, or difficult family experiences. My style is warm, calm, and straightforward. We’ll work together to understand what’s keeping you stuck, build healthier coping skills and boundaries, and help you feel more confident in yourself and the choices you’re making.

Flourish works best with students and young adults who may look like they’re doing well on the outside but feel stressed, anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck underneath it all. Many clients are navigating relationships, family expectations, identity, self-worth, academic or career pressure, major life transitions, or simply trying to figure out what they want their life to look like. You don’t need to have everything figured out before starting therapy. Our goal is to provide a genuine and authentic space where we can make sense of what’s going on, identify patterns that may be getting in your way, and develop practical ways to move toward the relationships and life you want.

Welcome! I support individuals navigating complex family dynamics, relational trauma, anxiety and depression. More than that, I work with anyone feeling stuck within their life with hopes of creating meaningful change. People who see me may need help making sense of their life experiences or developing strategies to move through them. I'm particularly passionate to work with women and queer individuals. Clients seeing me may be impacted by people pleasing, big feelings, perfectionism, or chronic numbness. If any of this resonates or you just have that feeling, I'd love to connect.

Hi, I’m Dr. Alyssa Nadolny DNP, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I believe mental health care should feel like a conversation with someone who genuinely listens—not a place where you feel judged, rushed, or like you have to have everything figured out. College can be an exciting time, but it can also come with a lot of pressure. Between academics, relationships, friendships, family, identity, career decisions, and simply figuring out who you are, it’s completely normal to feel overwhelmed sometimes. My goal is to create a comfortable, supportive space where you can be honest about what you’re experiencing and work together to figure out what might help. I work with students experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, OCD, mood concerns, and other mental health challenges. I provide psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and individualized treatment planning, with an emphasis on education and shared decision-making. I want you to understand the “why” behind your treatment and feel like an active participant in your care. I take a collaborative, compassionate approach and meet each person where they are. There is no expectation that you have the right words or know exactly what you need when you come in. We can figure that out together. Most importantly, I want my patients to feel heard, respected, and comfortable being themselves. My hope is to help you feel more grounded, confident, and equipped to navigate both college and everything that comes after it.

Hey, I'm Paige! Authentic. Relational. Collaborative. I am a therapist based out of Boulder, and I work with people navigating turning points in life: college students and young adults figuring out who they are.

My practice Facing Mountains is built on the idea that we don't have to face the hard stuff alone. My approach is relational at heart and blends Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS). That means we'll explore the deeper patterns that shape how you relate to yourself and others, while also building practical tools to help you move forward with clarity and compassion. Whether you're here to process trauma, navigating major life transitions, or simply trying to breathe through life's chaos, I'll meet you with honesty, care, and zero judgement.
