Therapists for college students near Denver, CO

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.

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.

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.

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.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate, I strive to create a safe, supportive space where you feel seen, heard, and valued. My approach is grounded in empathy, authenticity, and a deep respect for your unique experiences and strengths. I believe in the strength of each person's capacity for healing and growth. 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 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.

If school felt like it was built for someone else's brain, I get it. I was the curious, driven kid who struggled with ADHD, anxiety, and the pressure to perform, and traditional classrooms rarely fit. As a Noble Mentors mentor I work with college students on the practical side (executive functioning, routines, follow-through, life skills) and the confidence side (self-trust, anxiety, body image, figuring out what you actually want). A lot of our work happens outside an office: a walk, a trail, a coffee shop, or video if that's easier. I have 10+ years working with young people, a background in eco-psychology and filmmaking, and training in trauma-informed and nature-based mentoring. Mentoring isn't therapy, and it works alongside a counselor if you have one. In person in Boulder and Denver, and by video.

Purpose isn't about getting into the right program or hitting someone else's milestones. It's about knowing who you are and what matters to you, and building a life around that. I mentor college students who are stepping out of treatment, struggling with social anxiety, questioning their identity or faith, or who just feel stuck between what they should be doing and what they can make themselves do. We work on executive function and life skills side by side, in real settings, until the systems are yours. I hold an M.A. in Mindfulness-Based Transpersonal Counseling, have three years with at-risk young adults, and am trained in trauma-informed care and group facilitation. Mentoring is not therapy; many of my mentees also see a counselor. In person across Boulder County and north Denver, and by video.

Some of the most meaningful changes I've seen in people happened when they slowed down enough to hear themselves. I mentor college students working through identity (queerness, gender, who you are away from home), recovery, anxiety, and the feeling of not quite belonging. We might walk, sit outside, do some mindfulness, or just talk through a week that got away from you; the goal is real skills you can use when I'm not there. My background: wilderness therapy field guide, behavioral health tech in substance-use recovery, 200-hour trauma-informed yoga teacher, Wilderness First Responder, and a B.A. from Columbia. Mentoring isn't therapy and works alongside it. In person across Boulder County and north Denver, and by video.

I came up as an athlete, raised by my grandmother, and both taught me the same thing: discipline works better with people in your corner. As a Noble Mentors mentor I help college students build the unglamorous stuff that keeps a semester on track (budgeting, routines, responsibilities, showing up) and work through what gets in the way: social anxiety, old habits, staying accountable in recovery. I have a B.A. in Psychology, am working on a master's in transpersonal counseling, and am trained in motivational interviewing, IFS-informed parts work (non-clinical), and DBT/CBT skills. Sessions happen where life happens: the gym, a trail, campus, or video. Mentoring is not therapy, and I coordinate with your counselor if you have one. In person in Boulder and Denver, and by video.

I grew up in Boulder. School was hard for me, I made up for it by being friends with everyone, and for a big stretch of my adult life I was stuck: numbing out with cannabis, sports, and screens while my ambition sat under the surface. I got out of that, and now I mentor college students who recognize the pattern. We work on the concrete things (getting to class, finishing what you start, routines that hold up under stress) and the honest things (what you're avoiding and why). My strength is connection; people tend to tell me the real version. Mentoring isn't therapy; it's a trained, supervised person walking alongside you, and it pairs well with counseling. In person in Boulder and Longmont, and by video.

I graduated high school with no real plan beyond vague musical ambitions, and it took a lot of good conversations with the right people to find a direction. That's what I try to be for college students now. If you're smart and capable but can't get yourself moving, or the semester is slipping and you don't know how to say so, we start there. I work on the practical side (time, tasks, follow-through) and the bigger questions underneath, and I meet students where they actually are: campus, a coffee shop, a trail, or video. Mentoring is not therapy, and it works alongside a counselor. In person in Boulder and Denver, and by video.

My work comes from lived experience. I know what it's like to lose yourself trying to be who you think you're supposed to be, and what it takes to rebuild from the inside out. I mentor college students who are performing well on the outside and falling apart on the inside, or who have stopped performing altogether: anxiety, perfectionism, identity and faith questions, the failure-to-launch stretch after a hard year. We work on real structure (routines, follow-through, the systems that make a semester survivable) and on honesty with yourself. Mentoring is not therapy; it's a trained, supervised relationship that pairs well with counseling. In person in Boulder, Denver, and Erie, and by video.

Let go of who you think you're supposed to be. I mentor college students who are neurodivergent (ADHD, autism, learning differences), exploring LGBTQ+ identity, or carrying a mental health diagnosis and trying to have a normal semester anyway. We build executive function and self-regulation skills you can actually use (somatic tools, routines, reframing the story you tell about yourself), and we do it in real settings, not just across a desk. I have a B.A. in Psychology with a neuroscience focus, am pursuing a master's in clinical mental health counseling, and have ten years in behavioral health and psychoeducation, including as an addiction-recovery peer specialist. Mentoring is not therapy and doesn't replace it; I coordinate with your care team. In person in Denver and Boulder, and by video.

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.

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.
