Therapists for college students near 80204

You’re not broken—you’re worn out from living in survival mode. Many of my clients are insightful, capable people who have spent years managing anxiety, emotional overwhelm, or shutdown by staying strong and self-reliant. These patterns didn’t appear by accident—they developed to protect you. In our work together, we slow things down and listen to what your nervous system has been holding. I work with adults navigating anxiety, trauma, grief, and life transitions through a trauma- and nervous-system-informed approach. Drawing from parts work (IFS), Polyvagal theory, somatic awareness, and feminist therapy, therapy becomes a process of restoring safety, emotional regulation, and self-trust—rather than pushing yourself to “fix” what isn’t broken. I offer a grounded, compassionate space where sensitivity is understood as intelligence shaped by experience. Healing here is not about becoming someone new, but about softening survival patterns so you can feel more at ease, connected, and fully yourself.

“I feel like my past still affects who I am today.” “I worry constantly and don’t know how to turn my mind off.” “I don’t really know who I am or what I want anymore.” You are not alone. I am here to provide support as you take the first steps toward therapy. It can feel overwhelming to begin, but you don’t have to face it alone. Therapy can be a space to slow down, make sense of what you’re carrying, and start learning how to show up for yourself with more clarity and compassion. No matter where you are in life, you have a place here to be heard and understood. My approach to therapy is collaborative, supportive, and rooted in compassion. I strive to create a nonjudgmental space where you feel safe to be honest about your experiences as you navigate your unique healing journey. Together, we’ll explore what works best for you. Therapy should feel collaborative, affirming, and tailored to your needs, and I’m here to support you as you take the next steps in your journey. If you feel we may be a good fit, don't hesitate to reach out for a consultation.

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.

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.

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.

By considering all aspects of your life, we can work together to develop strategies that promote overall health and happiness.

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 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.

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.

I work best with students who are high-achieving, thoughtful, and often putting a lot of pressure on themselves to succeed. Many of the students I support feel anxious, overwhelmed, or burned out, even when things look “fine” on the outside. I also work closely with students from multicultural backgrounds who are navigating identity, family expectations, or a sense of not fully belonging. I have extensive experience supporting students who have been impacted by trauma, including sexual assault, relationship violence, and other difficult life experiences. I spent four years working at the Office of Victim Assistance at CU Boulder, and I bring a steady, compassionate approach to creating a space where students feel safe, supported, and in control of their healing process.

Whether navigating stress, mood concerns, sleep issues, or more complex challenges, Dr. McCort offers experienced, accessible psychiatric care in a convenient and welcoming Boulder setting and through secure telehealth.

I primarily work with college students, adults and couples with a variety of concerns, including anxiety, depression, grief and loss, parenting, relational and emotional issues, infidelity, childhood abuse, gender and sexual identity, and religious and spiritual issues. I also work with people who feel stuck, aimless, or desire to possess more purpose and meaning in their lives. In addition to psychotherapy, I offer psychological assessment services for such issues as ADHD Evaluation, diagnostic clarification, and learning disorders.

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.
