Therapists for college students near University of Colorado Boulder
Life can feel overwhelming and hard. Trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, chronic pain, relationship difficulties, identity questions, and major life transitions can leave you feeling disconnected from yourself and uncertain about how to move forward. At Evolve in Nature, we believe therapy should provide a safe, compassionate, judgment-free, and shame-free space where you can speak openly, explore what you are experiencing, and feel supported as you work toward meaningful change. Our approach goes beyond traditional talk therapy. We recognize that difficult experiences can affect the mind, body, nervous system, relationships, and the way you experience the world. Our clinicians use individualized, trauma-informed, and evidence-based approaches that may include EMDR, somatic and body-centered therapy, mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, psychodynamic therapy, attachment-based work, psychological education, and nature-based interventions. Rather than simply addressing symptoms, we help clients better understand the patterns and experiences beneath them while developing practical skills for emotional regulation, resilience, healthier relationships, and lasting growth. Evolve in Nature offers individual, couples, and group therapy for adults and young adults facing a wide range of emotional, relational, and life challenges. Areas of support include trauma and PTSD, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, chronic illness and pain, relationship concerns, emotional regulation, identity exploration, LGBTQ+ concerns, adult children of alcoholics, and other experiences that may interfere with feeling connected, grounded, and fulfilled. Psychiatric medication management is also available for individuals who may benefit from medication as part of a thoughtful and collaborative treatment plan. Therapy may take place in our welcoming Boulder office, virtually, or outdoors when nature-based work is appropriate and meaningful to the client. Outdoor therapy may involve walking, sitting in a natural environment, or intentionally using nature to support grounding, reflection, nervous-system regulation, and connection. Nature does not replace the therapeutic relationship; it offers another setting and resource through which healing and personal growth can occur. Beginning therapy can feel vulnerable or intimidating. You do not need to have everything figured out before reaching out, and you do not need to carry everything alone. At Evolve in Nature, we meet you where you are, take time to understand your experiences and goals, and work collaboratively to determine the support that is right for you. Healing is possible. Growth is possible. You are capable of evolving into a more connected, resilient, and authentic version of yourself.

I'm Dr. Caroline Mazzer, a licensed psychologist working with college-age clients using CBT (Cognitive Behavior Therapy) and DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy). I help clients who are struggling with anxiety, difficulty managing intense emotions, self-injury, suicidal thoughts, and mood disorders. College brings a lot of emotional intensity: new independence, new pressures, and often new or worsening struggles with mood and self-regulation. In our work together, you'll build concrete DBT skills for tolerating distress, regulating emotion, and staying safe, alongside a therapeutic relationship where you feel genuinely supported.
I'm Dr. Olivia Shaffer, a psychologist candidate working with teens and adults, including college students. I specialize in treating OCD, trauma, eating disorders, depression, and anxiety. I know how disruptive intrusive thoughts, difficult past experiences, or a complicated relationship with food and body image can be, especially while you're also trying to keep up with classes, relationships, and everything else college throws at you. I take an evidence-based, collaborative approach and want therapy to feel like a place where you're genuinely understood, not just diagnosed.
I'm Dr. Elizabeth Slivjak, a psychologist candidate (supervised by Dr. Samantha Monk Grigsby) with extensive training in CBT and ACT. I work with clients experiencing depression and anxiety disorders, and I also have experience supporting clients through insomnia and health related stress and the emotional impact of medical conditions like cancer treatment. I bring current, evidence-based training and experience, and a lot of compassion and care to my work. If you're looking for someone to really dig in with you on practical strategies for feeling better, I'd love to talk.
I'm Dr. Sarah Thilzey Franklin, a licensed psychologist working with teens, college students, and adults. I work with people navigating suicidal thoughts, self-injury, relationship struggles, depression, anxiety, and trauma, and I have specialized training in treating borderline personality disorder. My background is in CBT and DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy), which means we'll focus on practical, evidence-based skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships, alongside a genuinely warm, collaborative therapeutic relationship. If you're feeling overwhelmed by your emotions, stuck in unhealthy relationship patterns, or struggling with thoughts of hurting yourself, I'd be glad to work with you.
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.
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.
I work with trauma-survivors to provide a loving, healing, safe space where you can process your experiences, be seen & supported around what happened, gain important knowledge or insight around how this experience may be affecting you, and learn new ways to cope with the losses you incurred. As a client-led therapist, you are always in control of the work we are doing together in therapy. I have an array of interventions and tools that we can work with, from working with the mind (ie. CBT), the body (ie. Brainspotting), or through looking at the macro (society) and micro (internal family systems) systems that are affecting you or preventing you from living your best life. My goal is to make the therapy room safe, loving, and open so you can have the space to self-reflect and make conscious choices of how to move towards healthier living. I offer FREE consultations to make sure we are a good fit and you'd like to work with me. Please sign up on my website for an immediate appointment.
The journey I embark on with clients and my perspective is informed by an alchemical Mind/Body/Soul model, which uses Jungian-based and Embodied Psycho-dynamic principles, combined with other modalities that recognize the multiple aspects of psyche and dynamics within the human experience. My perspective holds that unresolved issues from the past create thought, belief, behavior, and life patterns that negatively impact the present. I believe all people are beautiful divine souls. Our suffering and pain on this earth-walk takes nothing away from our divinity, it births our compassion and spiritual consciousness. This perspective has been the guiding light of my life's path.

I work with diverse students who are struggling with the impact of an overwhelming life event or transition.

Hi, I am Misty. I work with college students, children, teens and adults who feel worn down by anxiety, low mood, stress, or health changes and want to feel steady and present again. You might reach out for support with depression, anxiety, ADHD, burnout, or trouble sleeping, yet what you are really longing for is relief, clarity, and a sense that your mind and body are finally on the same team. Many of my clients are caregivers or helping professionals who show up for everyone else and are ready for a space that is just for them, where they can slow down, be heard, and begin to restore balance. In our work together, I offer warm, collaborative care that helps you feel seen while we untangle what is happening beneath the surface. I provide holistic medication management, CBT and DBT-style therapy, help with ADHD and burnout struggles, and support for major depressive disorder. If you feel tired of carrying so much on your own, you are not alone. You deserve a space where you can slow down, be heard, and feel supported. If this resonates, I would be honored to walk alongside you as you take the next step.
Hi, I’m Michelle. I’m a mindfulness-based therapist who works with college students navigating anxiety, relationships, self-doubt, and the sometimes messy process of figuring yourself out. I offer a warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed space where you can slow down, feel understood, and make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface. Together, we’ll work toward feeling more grounded, confident, and connected to yourself. You don’t need to have everything figured out before you come to therapy. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck in patterns you want to change, struggling in a relationship, or simply wanting to understand yourself more deeply, we can start exactly where you are. My approach may incorporate mindfulness, somatic and nervous-system work, attachment-based therapy, and EMDR when appropriate.
