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.
Ryan O'Millian, LPC, LAC
I am dedicated to working with people who want to get at the roots of their emotional distress and personal suffering. A collaborative therapeutic relationship is the single most important factor in therapeutic success. This relationship will be the keystone for facilitating your personal growth and understanding of yourself not just intellectually, but also emotionally. Over time, an internalized healing space will form where you can recover access to parts of your true self. Speaking freely without unnecessary self-censorship may be simple, but it is not easy. I encourage you to try. Through experiencing the freedom of talking in an atmosphere of radical acceptance, we liberate powerful emotional states that help us make deep and lasting changes. When fully understood, painful psychological symptoms dissolve over time. This increases your ability to live creatively. I offer psychoanalytic psychotherapy for people seeking freedom from their painful thoughts, feelings and behaviors. Please do not hesitate to email me to schedule a free consultation to learn more about how this process works and to see if we are a good fit in working together. I wish you all the best in your search.

Are stress, overwhelm and anxiety interfering with school, friends and life in general? Do you want to better understand and work through complicated emotions and unhelpful thought patterns? Maybe you’re ready to build new skills for handling life transitions, stressful situations or past experiences that still feel heavy. You don’t have to figure it out on your own. Together we’ll strengthen what’s working and create a practical, personalized therapeutic plan that helps you move forward.. We begin with a complimentary, no obligation, 15 minute video consultation. This gives me a chance to understand what you’re going through and allows you to decide if we’re a good fit. After the consultation, if you decide to move forward and have Blue Cross/Blue Shield or Anthem, I’ll verify your coverage and any copay so you know what to expect, and then we can schedule your first session. I offer both in-person and virtual appointments.

Dr. Jodie Benabe
I work with people who feel overwhelmed, stuck in their own heads, or worn down by anxiety, obsessive or intrusive thoughts, depression, food or body concerns, perfectionism, relationship stress or breakups, or the lasting impact of past experiences—and who are looking for thoughtful, effective support to move forward. I’m a licensed psychologist with over 20 years of experience, with advanced training as a Certified Eating Disorder Specialist–Consultant (CEDS-C) and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP-II). I take a steady, collaborative approach that’s grounded in research but tailored to you. I’m thoughtful about pacing, and we’ll spend time understanding what’s been keeping you stuck, building practical tools you can actually use day to day, and working toward meaningful change in a way that feels manageable and safe. My office is located in Boulder, and I offer in-person therapy there as well as telehealth services throughout Colorado. I also offer a free video consultation so you can ask questions, get a sense of my approach, and decide whether working together feels like a good fit.

Talie Lamolinara
Moving towards independence in young adulthood can have a set of challenges that aren't always specifically addressed or acknowledged by those around you. Through personal experience and a research informed, I treat each young person as unique. I focus on challenges related to anxiety, ADHD, substance use/abuse and trauma. I look at the bigger picture, striving to best understand from your particular worldview and set of circumstances. With this foundation, I provide supportive & strength-based care to give you new skills and a sense of safety in order for you to achieve your desired goals. Our work together may be process oriented, skills-based or a mix of both. In session, you can expect me to show up with warmth, authenticity, humor, and adaptability, with a unique understanding of this particular period in your life.
Denise Detrick
The challenges facing young adults in college are complex and numerous. I've developed a broad understanding of these kinds of issues throughout my years in private practice. Struggles with stress, anxiety, social issues, body image, issues around family and simply adulting are real and sometimes feel immense. However, I do believe the college years are a transformative time and these years can be an opportunity to become more self aware as well as an opportunity to be the person you want to be. I look forward to working with people who are wanting to take the next steps in their personal growth. While the path to growth and wellness can be difficult, it is a crucial endeavor and I would be honored to help you along your journey.
Salvia Artman
Hi, I'm Salvia! I’m a licensed psychologist with extensive experience supporting college students as they navigate academic stress, relationships, past trauma, and personal growth. Some Areas I Specialize In: High-Stress Academic Programs Ph.D. programs, Law School, and other demanding fields can be overwhelming. I help students manage the stress that comes with them, including burnout, imposter syndrome, perfectionism, self-criticism, and challenging relationships with research mentors and peers. Trauma I help students explore how past experiences continue to affect them and work toward healing in a way that feels safe and empowering. Relationship Challenges Whether it’s friendships, family dynamics, or romantic relationships (monogamous and non-monogamous), I support students in navigating complex interpersonal dynamics. Climate Emotions The reality of climate change can bring up grief, anxiety, anger, and despair. I help students process these feelings and explore ways to stay engaged. My Approach to Therapy: I am committed to providing trauma-informed, multicultural-oriented, LGBTQ+ affirmative, and climate-aware therapy. My approach is holistic and evidence-based, exploring each client's concerns through a sociocultural and systemic lens. Education: I completed my Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology at the University of Utah, my doctoral internship at Duke University, where I worked with students in high-stress academic programs, and a postdoctoral fellowship at UC Santa Cruz, specializing in supporting students who have experienced interpersonal trauma.

Aviva Bannerman
Growing into yourself is not an easy process. This is the time you’re figuring out where you fit into the world – which career path to choose, which friends circle to keep, where to live, how to transform yourself into an independent adult… You’re making bigger decisions that have greater consequences and learning how to handle the repercussions of your actions. It makes sense for this time to be fraught with anxiety, depression, fear, and loneliness. Maybe you know that your partner isn’t treating you well, but you’re unsure of what a healthy relationship feels like. Or you’re aware that your friendships aren’t fulfilling, but you’re unsure of your own boundaries and how to voice them in relationship. It can be confusing to stand up for yourself when you don’t quite know how things can be better. But you do know that things just don’t feel right – that something is missing. I will help you explore your feelings of confusion and get clear on what’s not working for you. I will lead you toward the feelings under the confusion: the sadness, fear, anxiety… so that you can better understand your experience. We can clarify your relationship values and help you learn ways to ask for what you want by setting healthy boundaries and communicating your needs effectively. We can explore your passions and interests and help you identify the right path forward. Together, we can help you transform into the person you wish to be.

My approach is collaborative and structured, and we'll set clear goals together and track progress along the way.
Foothills CBT
Foothills CBT Psychology Group is a team of doctoral-level psychologists based in Boulder, just minutes from CU Boulder's campus. We know the specific pressures of college life: academic stress, homesickness, roommate and relationship conflict, identity and life-transition questions, anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma, and the burnout that comes with trying to do it all. Our therapists are trained in evidence-based approaches including CBT, ACT, DBT, and exposure-based treatment (ERP), and we tailor our approach to each client rather than using a one-size-fits-all model. We see clients in our Boulder office and also offer telehealth throughout Colorado through PSYPACT, so you can keep your same therapist even if you head home for breaks or move within the state after graduation. Our clinicians work together as an integrated team, so you're matched with the provider whose training and approach genuinely fit what you're looking for. Because we're a group practice, you're not limited to one option. We have several qualified, licensed psychologists on our team, each with their own areas of focus and their own way of working with clients, so if the first fit doesn't feel quite right, there's likely someone else on our team who will. Personality and rapport matter as much as credentials, and we want you to find a therapist you actually want to keep seeing. We are a private-pay practice (we do not bill insurance directly, though we can provide superbills for out-of-network reimbursement).
