Therapists for college students near 80309

My approach to therapy is person-centered and focuses on identifying & building upon one’s internal strengths, rather than deficits. I view the therapeutic process as a collaborative partnership. Together, we work toward goals that feel authentic and meaningful to you. I offer consistent, unconditional support while also “keeping it real” in a way that enables honesty, growth, and connection. Authenticity is one of my core values, and I hope that showing up as my true self encourages a foundation of safety and trust in our work together. I respect every client’s individual experiences, journey, culture and viewpoints and I offer a welcoming space to explore client’s concerns, goals, etc. I believe everyone carries a unique story, and sometimes life’s challenges or traumas can distort the way we understand ourselves. My goal is to help clients reframe their narratives, develop more compassionate self-talk, and navigate life’s ups and downs with greater confidence and ease. We all have inherent strengths and I strive to help clients identify, reclaim, and nurture those unique gifts. I have extensive experience in the mental health field across a variety of settings, working with adults of diverse backgrounds and concerns. Much of my work has included supporting neurodivergent clients (particularly ADHD), LGBTQIA++ individuals, folks going through difficult life transitions and women with complicated trauma. I specialize in trauma, addiction, depression, anxiety, and grief. I also have a passion for working with members of the kink community and the geriatric population.

You may be someone who has spent years holding things together—building a career, caring for others, navigating difficult relationships, or simply doing what needed to be done—only to find yourself feeling anxious, overwhelmed, burned out, stuck, or uncertain about what comes next. Life transitions, grief, trauma, relationship difficulties, family dynamics, and changes in identity can leave even highly capable people struggling to feel like themselves. My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that meaningful change comes from both feeling deeply understood and developing practical ways to move forward. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, burnout, substance use concerns, relationship and family challenges, existential crises, and major life transitions. I draw from evidence-based approaches including DBT and CBT while tailoring therapeutic work to the individual rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach. Before becoming a therapist, I practiced law, and I understand the pressures that can accompany demanding careers, major professional transitions, and the experience of reconsidering the life you thought you were supposed to have. I bring both compassion and curiosity to therapy, along with respect for the complexity of each person’s story. Therapy can be a place to understand the patterns that keep you stuck, make sense of painful experiences, explore questions of meaning and purpose, and begin building a life that feels more connected, meaningful, and genuinely your own. I would be honored to work alongside you in that process.

Healing starts when we feel seen, heard, and accepted. My goal is to create a safe, caring, and holding space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Therapy is a team effort, and I want to build a trusting relationship that helps clients as we work together toward real, lasting change. Before I became a therapist, I spent more than 24 years as a Buddhist nun. During that time, I learned mindfulness, compassion, patience, and how to listen attentively. These experiences shape how I work with clients today. My practice is based on proven therapy methods, but I also believe that real healing comes from genuine connection, curiosity, and self-kindness. I earned my master’s in clinical Mental Health Counseling from Naropa University, with a focus on Contemplative Psychotherapy and Buddhist Psychology. As a pre-licensed therapist, I have helped teens and adults facing trauma, anxiety, depression, PTSD, grief, relationship issues, stress, self-esteem struggles, and big life changes. I have also worked closely with survivors of domestic violence and abuse, supporting them as they rebuild safety, confidence, and hope. My approach is trauma-informed, client-centered, and respectful of the client’s background. I use mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and compassion-based techniques to meet each client’s needs. I believe everyone can grow and heal, and I feel honored to help clients reconnect with their strengths and make meaningful changes. If you are going through a life change, healing from trauma, or just want a place where you can be yourself without judgment, I would love to support you on your healing journey.

At Denver Wellness Counseling, we help individuals recover from trauma, dysfunctional family systems, PTSD, relationship struggles, depression, anxiety, stressful life transitions, and grief and loss. We specialize in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) Therapy, and offer an individualized approach to meet your personal goals for counseling. Therapy at Denver Wellness Counseling focuses on 3 Pillars of Treatment where the healing process often involves the following: building tools to handle the present moment, healing past trauma(s), and building secure attachment to self & others.

If you're a college student who is smart and capable but stuck, we get it. Maybe the structure that carried you through high school disappeared, deadlines pile up, you know what you should be doing and can't make yourself start, or the semester feels like it's slipping away. Noble Mentors pairs you with a mentor who works with you in real life, not just in an office: on campus, at a coffee shop, on a trail, or on video from anywhere. Together you build the systems that actually work for your brain (time, tasks, routines, follow-through), practice them side by side, and then you own them. We work especially well with students with ADHD, executive function challenges, autism and neurodivergence, social anxiety, or the general feeling of being off track. Mentoring is not therapy and doesn't replace it; many of our students also see a counselor, and we coordinate with your care team. Every mentor is trained and supervised, with clinical oversight from our Clinical Director, a licensed clinical social worker. In person across Boulder, Denver, and the Front Range, and by video nationwide. Free 40-minute consultation, and you get to choose your mentor.

I am a trauma therapist seeing clients both virtually and in-person in Broomfield, CO. I specialize in eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), which supports not only trauma processing but also helps with symptoms of depression, anxiety, and emotional dysregulation. Transitioning to college and managing that workload along with a social life and sometimes even a job can be extremely challenging. Therapy can help you manage your own emotional processes during this time and what you need in order to be your best self during a really transformative time in your life.

I'm the Clinical Director at Noble Mentors and a licensed clinical social worker. Noble Mentors is a mentoring practice, not a therapy practice; my role is to make sure the mentoring is clinically sound. I provide oversight and consultation on cases, train and supervise the mentor team, and coordinate with students' therapists, counseling centers, and families so support is thoughtful and doesn't work at cross-purposes. If you're a counselor or case manager considering a referral, I'm the person to talk to about fit, risk, and how mentoring can sit alongside treatment. If you're a student, the mentors listed under Noble Mentors are who you'd work with; I'm behind them. Serving Boulder County, Longmont, Berthoud, and north Denver, and by video.

Do things feel off track and overwhelming this semester? Procrastination, imposter syndrome, lack of academic focus, feeling socially awkward, breakups, friend drama, existential fear of what comes after graduation, family conflict, relationship communication breakdown, feeling like everyone else has it together but you, roommate boundary issues, school/work/social out of balance? Yep, that sounds hard. Let's talk. While I do specialize in the treatment of anxiety, ADHD, eating disorders, and life transitions, there may be additional or underlying challenges that cause you to feel frustrated, unmotivated, overwhelmed, ashamed, or sad. Whatever your struggles, together we can help you better understand what’s going on and what may be getting in the way of change and feeling more like yourself. My approach to our therapy will be goal directed, and the strategies and techniques that we will utilize are research based; CBT, ERP, mindfulness, to name a few. You will leave each session with action items, and we will work together as a team. I will bring to our work substantive training, many years of practice, patience, empathy, curiosity, and reliability. ACCEPTING CLIENTS IN: CALIFORNIA, COLORADO, FLORIDA, TEXAS

I am a psychologist in private practice. I work with students to help them cope better with depression, anxiety, academic and family stressors, and relationship issues. I like to work with students over time to sustain lasting and meaningful changes in their lives so that they can successfully work toward their goals. I help students navigate their family and friend relationships as well as work through any old patterns that get in their way of getting along well with others and managing their day to day stressors.

You work so hard doing all the things you’re supposed to do, and yet, it’s never enough. Something feels off. Your mind plays tricks on you with anxious thoughts keeping you up at night- Did I say the wrong thing? Do they think I’m weird? Where am I going with my life? You know that you have a kind heart and the drive to get things done. You just need some help believing in yourself. Sound familiar? I am here to help. My mission as a therapist is to help you feel more confident in your personal, professional, and academic life. I view therapy as a partnership, and together, we will overcome blocks that are preventing you from living the life that you want to be living. My approach is warm, empathetic, and genuine, and I bring clarity, compassion, and guidance to our time together. Everything that you need to succeed already exists within you, and by pursuing therapy you are already on a path towards healing and growth. Therapy is for anyone and everyone, and it allows you to take time for yourself to prioritize your well-being. It is a place to learn how to live more authentically and in alignment with your values. If you are ready to dive deeper into your wonderfully messy, intuitive world, I am here to join you.

College can be disruptive and difficult. I am here to support you as you navigate the challenges and opportunities that arise in this season of life. I want to help you live your most meaningful life. I will work with you to deeply explore who you are, what you truly want, and what past beliefs or experiences may be holding you back from your growth. Together, we will uncover the ways in which you may have abandoned parts of yourself over time. Using masks or personas as a means of survival can damage you on a core level, reinforcing the false belief that you are not enough as you are. But the truth is: you are enough. Let’s examine the events, people, and circumstances that have wounded your sense of self, so you can reconnect with the authentic person you are. Therapy is a hero's journey that requires vulnerability, but the honesty you will find is profoundly liberating. If you are ready to begin this transformative work, I would be honored to meet with you for a free consultation to see if we’re a good match. If you have questions or want to learn more, please visit my website at www.theworkshoptherapy.com, or feel free to reach out via phone at (206)920-7168 or email.

Hi, I am Misty. I work with college students, children, teens and adults who feel worn down by anxiety, low mood, stress, or health changes and want to feel steady and present again. You might reach out for support with depression, anxiety, ADHD, burnout, or trouble sleeping, yet what you are really longing for is relief, clarity, and a sense that your mind and body are finally on the same team. Many of my clients are caregivers or helping professionals who show up for everyone else and are ready for a space that is just for them, where they can slow down, be heard, and begin to restore balance. In our work together, I offer warm, collaborative care that helps you feel seen while we untangle what is happening beneath the surface. I provide holistic medication management, CBT and DBT-style therapy, help with ADHD and burnout struggles, and support for major depressive disorder. If you feel tired of carrying so much on your own, you are not alone. You deserve a space where you can slow down, be heard, and feel supported. If this resonates, I would be honored to walk alongside you as you take the next step.

Hi, I’m Michelle. I’m a mindfulness-based therapist who works with college students navigating anxiety, relationships, self-doubt, and the sometimes messy process of figuring yourself out. I offer a warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed space where you can slow down, feel understood, and make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface. Together, we’ll work toward feeling more grounded, confident, and connected to yourself. You don’t need to have everything figured out before you come to therapy. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck in patterns you want to change, struggling in a relationship, or simply wanting to understand yourself more deeply, we can start exactly where you are. My approach may incorporate mindfulness, somatic and nervous-system work, attachment-based therapy, and EMDR when appropriate.

As a sex and relationship therapist, I work with individuals, couples and beyond who are motivated to increase emotional safety, rebuild trust, navigate life transitions (including dating coaching, premarital counseling, break ups and divorces), develop open communication and rebuild emotional and sexual intimacy. If you are trying to understand if you're in the right relationship, wanting to be a better partner, or trying to better understand your sexuality and body, please reach out for a free consultation.

Neurodivergent therapist who works with neurodivergent clients! I help adults of all ages work through trauma and grief, explore their neurodivergence, manage their anxiety and depression, build on their self-esteem, and maintain necessary boundaries in the maze of life. I practice Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients engage with the workability of their problems by developing psychological flexibility. Psychological flexibility develops when you use therapeutic techniques (acceptance, contacting the present moment, values, committed action, self-as-context, and cognitive defusion) to take back control over your actions from any emotions, thoughts, or situations that are pushing you around. If you want a virtual ACT therapist who gets it, offers weekend and evening hours, then schedule a free 15-minute consultation call and see if we're a good fit! Sick of what hasn't been working in a world that isn't built for you? Try something new, try someone new.

I’ve been part of the Harvard Medical School system for over a decade, first as a trainee, now as faculty member. I'm trained primarily in psychodynamic therapy, but principles/interventions from other paradigms also inform my work, and I love working with students. Ultimately, the nature of therapy depends on the patient, what they are up against, and their goals. For this reason, the course of therapy is difficult to describe, but surely only ever works in a context of empathy & respect, not to mention humor (sometimes life can only be laughed at). This is a perspective I lay out in some detail in a recently published, two-volume book, titled, "A Humane Vision of Clinical Psychology." I'm a good fit for someone looking to understand and change established patterns, and to find relief from associated symptoms. Currently, I am contracted with the student insurances at Tufts and Boston College, which make sessions very inexpensive for students. I am licensed in Massachusetts, New York, Colorado, Vermont, and Connecticut. Very happy to arrange telehealth sessions for students in any of those states.
