Therapists for college students near Boulder, CO

Welcome! Whether you are beginning your therapeutic journey for the first time or returning to continue your progress, I am so glad you’re here. Starting therapy is a significant step towards self-discovery and healing, and I commend you for taking it! I have a profound commitment to assisting individuals, especially young adults, who are dealing with trauma and anxiety. These experiences can be challenging and often overwhelming, affecting various aspects of life. My specialization in trauma therapy provides you with a safe, supportive space to explore and heal from past experiences. Similarly, my experience in anxiety management can support you in understanding and overcoming the symptoms that may be impacting your daily life. I have worked in Community Mental Health for over three years where meeting with clients in some of their darkest times has influenced me to take specified approaches to therapy. I create a relaxed atmosphere with an informal, friendly communication style, allowing you to express yourself freely. I work alongside you, guiding and supporting your journey with an approach tailored to your needs, and your feedback is invaluable for productive sessions.

Hello! I'm Haley. I specialize in working with young adults navigating anxiety, trauma (including intergenerational trauma), identity, life transitions, academic stress, and relationship challenges. I especially support those who feel sensitive, overwhelmed, creatively blocked, or unsure where they belong. My holistic, trauma-informed approach weaves together EMDR, mindfulness, somatic practices, family systems, attachment theory, and the Four Shields of Human Nature framework. Sessions are warm, collaborative, and tailored to your pace—often including nature-based or creative tools to support healing and self-discovery. *I can offer flexible meeting times to accommodate your unique scheduling needs! <script src="https://thrivingcampus.com/verified.js?pid=42667"></script>

When will I stop feeling like I’m always in survival mode? How do you figure out the unspoken rules of a world that never handed you the instruction manual? Do I fully understand myself and my needs in the ways that I would like? Is my relationship feeling healthy, stable, and connected? I offer empowering, trauma-informed therapy in Colorado, providing affirming care for Queer & Neurodivergent folks alongside support for a range of mental health and life experiences for individuals and couples. My approach honors your unique story, creating a safe space for processing, understanding, and growth. I commend you for seeking support and looking out for you and your needs. I aim to be a therapist that 'gets it,' one that shows up, listens, hears you and can understand. I encourage sharing about your current obsessions, interests, passions, and experiences, as I believe these are all valuable parts of yourself. This is your space to be your true, authentic self, and I work to create an environment that feels safe and easy to settle into. As a queer and neurodivergent therapist, I bring lived experience and am especially passionate about working with these communities. I specialize in working with folks with Trauma & PTSD, Relationships, Autism/Neurodivergence, Self Esteem and Body Image, Anxiety, Depression, Anger Management, and Identity. I am also kink aware and polyamorous/non-monogamous informed and aligned. I work with a variety of other support areas as well and I'm committed to meeting you exactly where you're at. The types of treatment I utilize greatly depend on the person or persons served and their support areas, what feels most aligned with their values, and how structured clients would like their sessions to be-many times an eclectic approach works best- with a little humor sprinkled in too, if it's helpful. I have openings for new clients! Let's chat and see if it's a good fit. I'm currently scheduling virtual sessions. I take insurance as well as private pay, and have a sliding scale if needed. I also offer other insurances not listed, so feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

Life can sometimes feel overwhelming, leaving us feeling lost and isolated by persistent grief or conflicting expectations. My goal is to create a welcoming environment where you feel truly understood and valued. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado, and I have worked in the counseling field for over 30 years, beginning my career as a wilderness counselor. I earned my master's degree in 1989 and my doctorate in 2016. If you are seeking support to navigate life's challenges and want a counselor who will listen with empathy and help you feel seen, I invite you to connect with my practice. Together, we can find your path forward.

I’m a licensed psychotherapist who works with young people to understand and disrupt unhelpful patterns, better cope with challenging situations and discover greater ease, self-acceptance and healthy expression. I am committed to serving students in all content areas to navigate pressure, the pursuit of excellence and transition to career. It is important to me that LGBTQ+ people feel safe in the therapeutic space.

My clinical practice is informed and enriched by my career as a professor, director, and administrator in the performing arts. I have directed or taught theatre courses at some of the most well-regarded theatre programs in the country, including Juilliard, Yale School of Drama, and NYU TISCH School of the Arts. As a therapist, I create a space for you to bring your whole self, feel safe, respected and understood as well as learn new skills and take on new perspectives. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all therapy, instead I tailor therapy to your individual needs. I draw from cognitive-behavioral, relational, and trauma-informed strategies, while also integrating expressive arts and movement or somatic lenses when useful. And I always offer a steady and reliable presence. Clients who work with me gain a more accurate understanding of what is really going on for them, and make positive changes in their thoughts, assessments and actions, resulting in greater satisfaction and functioning in their lives. I’m honored to support you in your therapeutic journey!

College can be an exciting time of growth and discovery, but it can also bring stress, uncertainty, and questions about who you are and where you’re headed. I believe therapy should be a warm, affirming, and judgment-free space where you can be yourself, make sense of what you’re experiencing, and figure out what you need to thrive. I work with college students navigating anxiety, stress management, ADHD, relationship issues, queer and racial identity, and executive functioning. Together, we’ll build self-awareness and practical strategies that fit the way you think, learn, and live—while helping you develop healthier habits, stronger boundaries, and more meaningful connections. My approach is grounded in equity, inclusion, and cultural humility. I’m committed to understanding you within the context of your identities, experiences, culture, and relationships. Whether you’re struggling to stay organized, figuring out who you are, navigating relationships, or simply feeling stuck, you don’t have to figure it all out alone. I’m here to help you better understand yourself and build the skills and confidence to create a life that feels like your own.

My path to becoming a therapist began with previous work in public policy and advocacy. This insightful experience deepened my commitment to providing holistic, systems-informed care, where I bring an understanding of the many systems and circumstances that impact patient lives to each session.

I strive to meet you where you are and walk alongside you as a grounded, empathetic partner in your healing process. No matter what you’re facing, my aim is for you to feel heard, respected, and supported every step of the way. My journey into mental health care grew from a deep desire to help others, combined with an interest in research surrounding Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) in former athletes. This background strengthened my commitment to holistic, trauma‑informed, and compassionate care. Today, I bring openness, empathy, and a nonjudgmental perspective into every session, creating a space where healing, reflection, and growth can truly take place. When I’m not working with clients, I enjoy playing guitar and spending time outdoors in beautiful Colorado. I’m also a big sports fan and enjoy supporting local teams and collecting memorabilia—interests that often help build natural connection and rapport with clients.

Hi there! I’m Alex Boyce, a Licensed Professional Counselor—and I’m a firm believer that therapy doesn’t have to feel intimidating or overly serious. I received my Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from CU Denver in 2015, and I specialize in helping college students and young adults work through the challenges that come with this stage of life—things like anxiety (including that relentless “what if” spiral), stress, perfectionism, OCD, trauma, burnout, emotional ups and downs, and feeling lost or stuck. If your brain ever feels like it’s constantly running in the background or your emotions are all over the place, you’re not alone—and you’re in the right place. I’m trained in EMDR Therapy for trauma, as well as Exposure and Response Prevention and Inference-Based CBT for OCD and anxiety. Those terms might sound complicated, but I’ll break them down into real, understandable steps that actually help you make sense of what’s going on. My approach is collaborative, goal-oriented, and grounded in trust—with plenty of psychoeducation so you can understand why your mind reacts the way it does. Our first sessions are about connection and understanding what’s really going on beneath the surface. Together, we’ll make a plan that fits your goals—without judgment or pressure. What makes my practice a little different? I mix evidence-based therapy with genuine humor, empathy, and real talk. I’ve spent over a decade helping people move from survival mode to self-acceptance and confidence, and I’ll be there with you through it all—whether that means sitting in the hard stuff, celebrating wins, or laughing about the weird tricks anxiety plays on us. Outside of work, I recharge by doing yoga, hiking Colorado’s trails, paddleboarding, and catching live music when I can. If you’re ready to start feeling more like yourself—or figure out who that is—I’d be honored to walk alongside you.

“I feel like I’m trying so hard to hold everything together, but inside I’m barely holding on.” “I feel burned out, like I’m surviving instead of thriving.” “I’m surrounded by people, yet I can’t shake the feeling that no one truly sees me.” If any of these feel familiar, you’re not alone. College and young adulthood can bring a mix of pressure, uncertainty, and self-doubt. The fact that you’ve made it this far shows real strength. Love and joy have always been your birthright, and I’m here to help you find your way back to them. Together, we’ll explore what’s been holding you back, uncover your strengths, and build healthier ways of coping, all while honoring your unique lived experiences. I take a trauma-informed, holistic approach that draws from CBT and mindfulness to help you better understand your thoughts, emotions, and patterns. My hope is to provide a space that feels safe enough for honesty and soft enough for healing—a place where you can finally exhale and begin to feel like yourself again. If you’re ready to take the next step, I’d love to support you on your path toward greater well-being. Reach out by phone or email today to set up your free consultation. I look forward to meeting you.
