Therapists for college students near Boulder, CO

I believe in the power of real human connection. Everyone deserves to feel heard, understood, and valued exactly as they are. My style is warm, client-centered, and grounded in curiosity. Alongside open dialogue, I use evidence-based approaches like ACT and DBT to help you manage anxiety, build stronger coping tools, and navigate life’s curveballs. I work with adults (18+) facing big transitions: starting college, figuring out who you are, exploring relationships and sexuality (including LGBTQ+ identities), or feeling stuck between worlds. As a bisexual therapist and someone who’s moved across cultures, I get what it’s like to question where you belong or how to move forward. I also support clients dealing with health challenges, athletic injuries, sexual health, chronic illness, eating disorders, and body image concerns. Outside of therapy, you’ll find me adventuring in the mountains. I see therapy a lot like a tough hike: challenging, sometimes uncomfortable, but deeply rewarding. I’m honored to walk alongside you as you find your own path.

Hi, welcome to my practice! My main goal is to help you rediscover your true self. My approach to psychotherapy is holistic. Healing is most effective if it addresses the full range of the human experience, including body, mind and spirit. This understanding is rooted in my personal journey of healing in different wisdom traditions of the world. I have received training in shamanic traditions of South, Central, and North America. I completed my yoga teacher training in India, studied massage therapy in Thailand and have practiced Chinese martial arts for several years. Additionally, I worked for three years as a wilderness field guide in a wilderness treatment program with and emphasis on addiction. In my practice, I focus on somatic or body-based therapy, as well internal family systems and transpersonal psychotherapy. Some of my areas of expertise are trauma, addiction, sexuality, identity, anxiety and depression. I do talk therapy, as well as ketamine and cannabis-assisted therapy. I am devoted to being an unconditional support to my clients, walking beside them as they heal their deepest wounds and rediscover the wisdom of their body along the way.

Welcome! Do you need a safe place to begin your journey? A place to explore what it feels like to step into your authenticity with someone by your side? Little by little, glimmers of a more free and less inhibited self emerges for you. In therapy, there is no rush to get somewhere; instead, I see it as an unfolding...of you. My name is Julie Wallace and I hold my licensed professional counselor candidate (LPCC) credential. I offer: 1. Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy 2. Nature-Based Therapy 3. Traditional Counseling

I believe that seeking out therapy is a courageous step in working towards overall wellness and positive mental health. I hope to provide a space for individuals to present their thoughts and needs in a validating and understanding environment. I specialize with working with "emerging adults" those transitioning into college, their first job, trade school or maybe just graduated! Transitions can be hard and scary and I hope to provide a space that cultivates acceptance, empathy, and empowerment. I utilize different techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, strength-based therapy, and solution focused therapy in supporting clients. I would love to speak further with you about what brought you to seek out counseling. If you have any questions at all, please feel free to reach out through email to set up a free phone consultation. I would love to support you through this process!

Hi there, First and foremost, I'm glad that you're getting support for yourself. Life can be challenging and I think therapy benefits everyone. I work best with clients who are open to a collaborative style as I'm most interested in supporting you, in the way that works for you. I'm happy to answer any questions you may have, whether this is your first time in therapy or your 10th.

Are you curious about psychedelic therapy? Have you heard about ketamine therapy? Do you want to do more than "just talk?" Hi, my name is Erin Carpenter. I provide ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) for depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction and other issues. If you have tried traditional talk therapy and/or medications and still feel stuck, KAP may be a good fit for you. I have over 15 years of experience in private practice, focusing on trauma, mood disorders and eating disorders. I am warm, approachable, knowledgable and real.

I work with anxiety, depression, trauma, anger issues, relationships and broader questions of meaning and purpose. I offer one on one sessions, EMDR and couples therapy. I'd love to offer you a consultation to hear about what challenges you're facing, and share a little about how I can help!

Many people come to therapy feeling anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected from themselves, or like they’re “stuck” in patterns they understand but can’t seem to change. You may notice yourself pushing through stress, overthinking, shutting down, avoiding conflict, or feeling out of touch with how you actually feel. Many of us were never taught how to understand our emotions, regulate anxiety, or listen to what our bodies are trying to communicate. We learn to push through stress, become disconnected from ourselves, or rely on coping patterns that once helped us survive but no longer serve us. While traditional talk therapy focuses on changing thoughts or understanding patterns, somatic therapy includes working with emotions, nervous system responses, and physical sensations in the body. Together, we slow down and begin building a more compassionate and curious relationship with your internal experience rather than fighting against it. I integrate Somatic Experiencing®, Brainspotting, and Internal Family Systems (IFS)–informed approaches, with attention to how past relationships and nervous system patterns show up in the present. Sessions are paced to help you notice what’s happening internally, build capacity for difficult emotions, and unwind long-held stress and tension. With over 17 years of clinical experience, I help clients feel more ease, aliveness, and connection to themselves and others—especially those who continue to feel “stuck” even after years of therapy.

Welcome! I work with teens and young adults ages 16+ who are in all phases of the college/university process. My specialty is transition and the process of discovering who you are now that you are in college. This includes how to manage all the ups and downs of relationships, academics, family, and work. I use humor and a direct, warm approach along with evidence based techniques such as CBT, DBT, and Internal Family Systems to help you feel genuinely understood while you gain the tools you need to thrive. I see clients in person in Boulder, CO as well as via secure video sessions. I’m excited to meet you.

I strongly value creating a compassionate and non-judgmental setting where we can work together to address your challenges and build a more enjoyable and meaningful life. I use evidence-based treatments to address a wide range of problems including anxiety disorders and stress management, obsessive-compulsive and related disorders (ex: OCD, skin picking, hair pulling), PTSD, mood disorders (ex: depression, bipolar disorder), and insomnia. My treatment approach explores the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and incorporates mindfulness and acceptance techniques to help make lasting changes in your everyday life. I find that this approach adds to my clients’ understanding of themselves and helps them develop greater self-compassion and empowerment in the face of their difficulties. Give me a call so we can discuss what you're looking for and whether we might be a good fit!

I work best with students and young adults seeking therapy that is real, human, and grounded — not scripted or sanitized. Many of the people I work with are dealing with grief, loss, or a major shift in their lives. That loss might be the death of someone important, the end of a relationship, or a quieter kind of grief — losing a sense of direction, identity, or meaning. You don’t have to be in crisis to reach out. Many clients I work with are functioning on the outside while feeling disconnected, restless, or overwhelmed underneath. I grew up in the Bronx and came to this work through a mix of lived experience, creative work, and clinical training. I listen closely, speak honestly, and work with you at a pace that actually feels human.

We work primarily with folks experiencing difficulty with ADHD or attention struggles, anxiety, PTSD, and depression. We use a brain map (qEEG) to measure baseline electrical activity, and then design an individualized protocol to then habituate more adaptive, efficient, and flexible brainwave patterns. Training occurs twice weekly for around 30-50 sessions.

Hi, I'm Dr. Franks! When I see students, I conduct an initial session where I provide a diagnosis (if present) and can recommend and provide medications and/or therapy for treatment. I enjoy working with students because their task to start living on their own and develop their own identity is uniquely challenging and exciting. I can help with the diagnosis and treatment of things like depression, anxiety, OCD, bipolar disorder, psychosis, etc. Symptoms that my patients commonly struggle with include worry, sadness, suicidal thinking, stress, insomnia, and trouble concentrating. I am passionate about working with motivated students to help them thrive during their time in college. I completed my undergraduate education at the University of Denver, earning degrees in Biology, Chemistry, and French. I completed my medical and residency training at the University of Colorado, where I had the privilege of serving as Chief Resident. I have since worked in private practice. I look forward to working with you!

I very much enjoy working with students are struggle with anxiety, depression, relationship problems and sexual orientation issues. I can help you identify what is standing in the way of finding your way to a happier, calmer life. Your needs will guide our work but I consider therapy to be a collaboration and I'm a very active participant in that partnership.

Larson Mental Health is a mental health private practice offering psychotherapy and medication management to patients ages 6 and up. We have a diverse group of providers, both male and female, with varied specialities.

Who I work with: - People who are fired up and ready to do this - “Refugees” from conventional eating disorder treatment who are ready to finally get to the root of the issue - Folks with some sass, fire, and rebelliousness (with a soft and sensitive core) - Quirky go-getters, nerds and misfits, and outsiders with undercover witchy tendencies - People who want better relationships, emotional resiliency skills, and a healthier relationship with food and their body - People who’ve tried talk therapy and have an inkling there’s something more: a deeper, more soulful connection to themselves and all their inner parts. *I welcome folks of all identities and sizes How I work: Is it frustrating for you when people tell you to “just let it go” or “be kinder to yourself”? As if there were some switch you could flip…if you just weren’t so stubborn / clueless / goofy. First up: there is no such switch. (If there were, someone would have patented it by now). Second up: suggestions like this, no matter how well-intentioned, almost never work. They can also leave us feeling frustrated and like failures. Self-compassion and emotional healing are trickier than most people (or cutesy magnets) would have you believe. Myth: Just talk through why you feel this way and you problem will vanish. Truth: Real healing takes more than head-knowing. It’s a whole-bodied affair. This is why typical talk therapy - where you come in, sit on a couch, share how you feel - often falls short. You leave feeling like "ok, I feel a little better, but now what?" So I work a little differently. Still talk, still insight, but more connection to body, intuition, and emotions. We get beyond the "why" and get to the actual "how" of real change. You can read more about my approach at www.stephaniesmallhealth.com. I’m a licensed clinical social worker and nutritionist. I received my BA from Yale University, my MSW from Smith College for Social work, and certificates in Holistic Nutrition Education and Mental Health Nutrition from Bauman College and the Academy for Addiction and Mental Health Nutrition. I ran the nutrition program at a substance abuse recovery center in Denver for two years and have trained in trauma therapy, internal parts work, somatic therapies, and more. I currently maintain a private practice online and in Boulder and Denver, CO, write for national and local publications, consult for mental health agencies and substance abuse recovery centers, and speak at live events.
