Therapists for college students near Denver, CO

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate (LPPC) specializing in relational and holistic wellness-focused psychotherapy for individuals. As a psychodynamically oriented clinician, I believe that my role is to support patients in recognizing patterns of being that may be causing distress, exploring the roots of these patterns, and finding paths toward freedom from them. I often hold a focus in treatment on exploring many domains of life – relational, cultural, physical, spiritual, and more – as I believe that true healing encompasses all parts of self. Among a wide variety of mental health concerns, I particularly enjoy working with patients navigating relationship issues, chronic nervous system dysregulation, neurodivergence, and systemic-related challenges. I believe that it is truly an act of strength to seek support, particularly amidst chaos throughout the world today. If you find yourself resonating with my approach to therapy, I hope you feel empowered to reach out. Stemming from a background in biochemistry, I focus on caring for the whole person, taking into account the complex and symbiotic relationship between body and mind. My approach is authentic, creative, and integrative, focused on increasing access to affirmative mental health care while creating a space of radical acceptance in the therapy room. Working together, you can expect an intentional and collaborative environment that is tailored to each unique person. Paired with processing of core life events, I use present-oriented techniques such as mindfulness, cognitive restructuring, and individualized coping skill-building to create lasting changes in your daily experience. My path to becoming a therapist began upon experiencing a deep level of change in my own life through therapy. At the same time, I began to foster an interest in human behavior, connection, and meaning making through my education. Altogether, it became incredibly apparent to me that to be human is to be vulnerable, and I'm grateful to share this vulnerability with the patients I work with. This interest, combined with my therapeutic journey, allows me to bring a perspective of resiliency, curiosity, humor, and appreciation for the absurdity of life to each session. In my free time, you can find me perusing a vintage shop, hanging out with my cat, listening to live music, or working on an abstract painting. I also enjoy reading transgressive fiction novels, poetry, and engaging in social justice, advocacy and awareness projects.

Hello, I am Dr. Ana Dodson. I am a licensed psychologist candidate, and I received two masters degrees and my doctorate in psychology at the University of Colorado in Denver. I am EMDR certified for both children and adults and have a certificate in the Neurosequential Model of Education developed by Dr. Bruce Perry, a neurobiological approach to understanding human development. My goal is to provide you with compassionate, personalized therapy services. Together, we'll work together to create goals that feel right for you. With my background as a former teacher and reading specialist, I have a deep understanding of how academic struggles and reading difficulties can impact a college student. I approach every situation with empathy and a focus on solutions. Outside of therapy, I love spending time with my son, reading books, traveling, and taking hikes.

I earned my B.A. in Psychology from Towson University and am currently enrolled at the University of Denver, working toward my M.A. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling Psychology. A little bit about myself, I love pets and the outdoors, and I am a self-proclaimed nerd who loves lots of different kinds of video, card, and board games. I am devoted to nurturing and creating meaningful change within individuals, helping them cultivate resilience, embrace their authentic selves, and live in alignment with their personal values and identity. I believe mental health challenges do not discriminate and can affect anyone, which is why I am committed to creating a space where clients feel empowered to do the work that feels necessary for them. As I continue to grow in my clinical training, I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches, including existential therapy, family systems, psychodynamic theory, and mindfulness, tailoring my support to what best fits each individual client. I am passionate about working with individuals, families, groups, and couples navigating life's transitions and challenges, including anxiety, ADHD, depression, trauma, and the search for meaning. My goal is to foster healthy relationships, authenticity, autonomy, and interconnectedness within each person, supporting them in becoming healthier, more resilient individuals who can succeed in their own life's journey on their own terms, in accordance with their truths and ideal selves.

I earned my B.A. in psychology from Winthrop University and an M.A. in Clinical Psychology from Columbia University, and I am currently pursuing a PhD in Counseling Psychology from the University of Denver. As a clinical intern, I take a deeply relational approach to therapy, grounded in cultural awareness, developmental understanding, and a commitment to meeting clients exactly where they are. I believe that people grow through connections, and I work collaboratively to build a therapeutic relationship that feels safe, authentic, and genuinely supportive. I enjoy working with children, teens, and adults as they navigate identity development, relationship concerns, and major life transitions. I strive to create a warm, attuned space where clients can explore their experiences, make meaning of their stories, and move toward greater clarity and self-understanding. Outside of my clinical work, I enjoy watching movies, playing outdoor club soccer, and practicing the clarinet to help me stay grounded, creative, and balanced.

Finding Acceptance, Moving Towards Change Book a Free Consultation Are you struggling with aligning your life activities with your values and goals? Do you find yourself feeling stuck in unfulfilling relationships? It’s vital to acknowledge and face your current situation and the feelings you have about it in order to make change happen, and psychotherapy provides space for this. We'll begin by talking about your goals for therapy, and we'll collaborate on a plan for our work together. You can expect to develop more perspective and self-compassion, find a new capacity to navigate difficult feelings, and uncover and work towards freedom from habitual thought patterns. I am curious by nature, and I’d love to help you explore your particular individuality and its connection with your life history and desires. Through our work together, you’ll gain new insight and appreciation for who you are as you grow in expressing previously unspoken parts of yourself. I’ll ask a lot of questions in our conversations, but also hold space for you to discover your own thoughts and speak them. It can be difficult to begin a journey of self-discovery. But with the right support, the work finds its rhythm, and improvements can come surprisingly quickly. Please contact me for a free telephone consultation, and we can discuss where we might start our work together.

Threshold Counseling and Coaching is a safe space to share your story and begin crossing the THRESHOLD to healing. You’ll find a place that has been created so that you immediately feel supported, encouraged, and heard. At the end of your first appointment, you’ll feel relief from being deeply heard and understood. You may even begin to understand your story from a new perspective. You’ll leave each session with goals to meet and tools to use throughout the week. Throughout our time working together, you’ll know you’re taking steps in the right direction.

The most important part of building a therapeutic relationship is to know that I am not the expert of your life. I use empathy and create a non-judgmental environment, allowing humor and the collaborative effort to work towards realistic goals. I want you to feel comfortable and at ease to tell your story and work on the current challenges taking place in your life. I want this to be a team effort and establish the goals you are wanting. My role is to provide comfort and support, as you develop and discover through the therapeutic process.

Welcome to Gray Dove Therapy! I'm Shelby Jacobs. I love working with students on relational issues, life transitions, personal growth/development, stress, and other issues common to the student population! I also offer spiritual counseling from a Christian perspective for those who are interested, and enjoy walking alongside those going through faith deconstruction, or who have left a high-control religious environment.

Are you feeling like you do not recognize yourself or are disconnected from relationships? Do you find yourself entrapped by negative cycles of thought or addiction? Do you feel broken or lost? Do you find yourself overwhelmed or struggling to motivate yourself? Do you want an intentional touchpoint to be able to be candid and vulnerable without fear of judgment or consequences? Do you want to explore the root of the issues? Any of these important questions are worth exploring with someone you trust! I would be honored to partner with you as you explore this healing work. It is my goal as a therapist to provide a safe environment to help in the exploration, processing, and solution-finding process. I believe each person is unique with their own background, beliefs, understandings, and lived experience. I hope to provide a nonjudgmental space to explore feelings and thoughts. One of the bravest things a person can do is ask for help. Needing help does not make you weak, it makes you human. If you see yourself in any of the descriptions above, reach out by phone or email.

“Who am I?” “What is my purpose?” “I can’t move on.” If you experience or have experienced trauma, depression, anxiety, or grief, you are not alone. I understand how hard it can be to ask for help. I believe that having someone in your corner to both validate and challenge you is essential to personal growth. Self-discovery is possible—piecing together the mosaic of your life to serve as a window to your past and a guide to your future. “Who am I?” “What is my purpose?” “I can’t move on.” If you experience or have experienced trauma, depression, anxiety, or grief, you are not alone.
