Therapists for college students near Boulder, CO

I help college students with anxiety, ADHD and family conflict. I specialize in helping with the uncertainty of being on your own, the pressure of pleasing family, and working through relationship stressors to graduate.

Life is difficult under the best of circumstances. You may be suffering with anxiety or depression. Perhaps you’re managing a life transition (or two or three), searching for identity and purpose, or looking for ways forward after stepping into sobriety. Maybe you’re struggling in relationships. Or maybe you’re just generally trying to figure yourself out. You may be seeking therapy in order to realize vital goals in your relationships or career. These struggles may be the result of using ways of coping that once were vital in dealing with important people and problems from earlier in life, but which now get in the way of a healthy emotional life and positive relationships. Therapy is a great way of using a healing relationship to identify these coping styles, and ultimately to develop more effective ways of relating to yourself and to others in order to maximize your potential and life satisfaction. I know the struggles of growing through therapy over years of treatment, the difficulty of getting into therapy and staying with it long term. Let’s work together to address the ways in which you suffer so you can experience more freedom in life, get more of what you want and less of what you don’t want. I have been fortunate to have the privilege of providing support and services to a wide range of individuals which includes children, adolescents, adults and families. I enjoy providing a range of therapeutic services including individual, couples and family therapy. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, relationship issues and trauma. As a proud member of the counseling profession, I am passionate about my mission to help others gain the insight and clarity they seek to overcome the inevitable challenges that life offers. I realize that reaching out for help is deeply personal and I am grateful to have the opportunity to assist those who are interested in my services.

My focus as an integrative psychotherapist is on holistic well-being rather than illness. We are generally born in a state of inner harmony, wholeness and health, and as we experience life’s ups and downs, our emotional state can become unbalanced. While validating challenges and offering guidance, my primary goal is to support clients in rediscovering their own inner resources to successfully move forward in a meaningful way. My approach includes an emphasis on creative potential; finding purpose and joy; growth and change; trust and respect. With empathy, warmth and practical tools, I support clients as they increase their understanding and confidence to make progress dealing with depression and isolation, anxiety and stress, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, communication challenges, boundary issues, self-esteem, life transitions, and family conflicts. I enjoy working with diverse populations of all ages and backgrounds as they gain wisdom and insight into their own lives and move toward personal empowerment and resilience. I’m particularly interested in parenting, healthy communications, life adjustments, self-awareness, and supporting caregivers whose loved ones have dementia. As a registered art therapist, I am also trained to provide a creative way for clients to express what may be hard to talk about, especially during times of crisis or difficulty. Art is universal and promotes playfulness, self-expression, and imagination. Art therapy can be a helpful addition to traditional talk therapy. It’s important that my clients feel comfortable and safe in the therapy room: seen, heard, validated, and understood. I look forward to joining you on your unique journey of self-discovery and personal growth.

Hi there, I’m Jessica, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker dedicated to helping individuals and families navigate life’s challenges at every stage. I have been lucky enough to work with a wide variety of people across the U.S.–and beyond! Before graduate school, I volunteered as a social worker in Edinburgh, Scotland, where I assisted at-risk teens, isolated families, and adults diagnosed with schizophrenia. Learning about their life experiences, identifying hopes and dreams, and helping them regain independence was an experience that I will never forget. For over 20 years, I have worked extensively with families that are coping with parenting challenges, communication breakdowns, defiance, and life transitions. I am committed to supporting caregivers, children, and teens by providing strategic tools for managing complex behaviors and improving family interactions. Whether it’s navigating a divorce, supporting a child struggling with anxiety, or exploring emotion regulation techniques, together we will find the solutions needed to move forward with confidence. Having worked in diverse settings (including schools, community mental health centers, rural towns, and assisted living facilities), I understand the unique challenges that come with aging, life transitions, grief, anxiety, and depression. My goal is to provide a supportive and nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts and emotions at their own pace and work towards long-term positive change. My approach is warm, empathetic, and strength-based. Drawing from a combination of evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), family systems work, and person-centered therapy, I help people learn new strategies to use when faced with difficult emotions and behaviors. Although I utilize a wide variety of therapeutic techniques, I believe that a respectful, trusting relationship is essential for positive outcomes. I continually ask for feedback from my clients, as I want to ensure that our sessions are improving their quality of life. Therapy is a space for growth, healing, and discovery—and I’m here to walk alongside you every step of the way. Whether you’re facing a current crisis, struggling with family dynamics, or simply looking for support in everyday life, I’m here to help. If you’re ready to take the next step towards healing, let’s connect and see how we can work together to bring positive change to your life.

Many folks who sit with me share the weight of being a human in a world that does not seem to honor, value, or support them. It can feel exhausting to continue carrying our wounded selves through a sea of ongoing oppression and late stage capitalism. All the while, we continue to feel the pain of our childhood wounding and challenges with relationship and connection. It can feel overwhelming and hopeless. How do we find our way in all of this? Sometimes when I sit with others, I imagine we are sitting at a table where you can lay out all the many wounds, fears, disappointments, losses, and challenges of being a human. Together, we can look at each challenge and honor it. We honor what it has to say, what teaching it has, what pain it carries. Somehow, in the process of holding this space, we often find the tightness of the pain loosens. In this process, we develop a greater capacity for holding and processing emotion, paving the way for a richer life. As we move forward, we often discover a greater capacity for joy, connection, fulfillment, and love! After all, this is another hallmark of being human, finding joy and love alongside the pain and challenge. If you're interested in sitting at the table with me, please reach out for a free consultation. I look forward to hearing from you!

“I get nervous and suddenly feel like I cannot speak.” “My emotions and thoughts feel out of my control.” “I feel disconnected and stuck.” You are not alone. I aim to support you in reconnecting with your authenticity. We will work at your pace to strengthen your mind-body connection so you can identify your needs and choices. Sessions will often include emotional regulation tools, time to process what is arising for you, and interventions to support new habits and thought patterns. This is a space for you. I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, and women’s issues, including Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder. As a somatic psychotherapist and Registered Dance/Movement Therapist (R-D/MT), I offer an integrative, body-centered approach to therapy that supports healing, self-discovery, and meaningful change. I firmly believe that you are the expert on your experiences. I strive to bring cultural humility, curiosity, and respect to each therapeutic relationship. Asking for support can be scary and overwhelming! I invite you to take a deep breath and trust that inner voice that got you this far. If you feel we would be a good fit, or you would like to connect further before deciding, please do not hesitate to reach out via phone or email. You can also text 970-829-8780.

Our mission is to provide the highest quality behavioral health services with excellent ethical standards and high success rates. We provide innovative, evidence-based outpatient behavioral health services incorporating the expressive arts. Our name says Kids, but we work with teens and adults too! KidStuff Counseling, P.C. strives to provide our clients with a safe, accepting and welcoming environment in which our clients learn new skills to help navigate life’s challenges. We recognize the privilege it is to share in our clients’ private experience, challenges and successes. Through openness, safe personal expression and therapeutic relationship, we guide clients through processing past emotional pain and moving forward to emotional wellness.

As a somatic therapist, I help teens and adults connect to themselves through body-centered techniques that bring awareness of inner sensations and release pent-up trauma, stress, and emotions. My work centers on some of life's most profound challenges: identity, grief, life transitions, crisis, and trauma. I believe that one of the greatest threats to humanity is disconnection – from our bodies, our intuition, one another, and the world around us – and the body is where true healing beings. That’s why my work is rooted in guiding others through the process of reconnection, supporting the holistic well-being of the mind, body and spirit. Whether you're navigating a difficult season or searching for greater clarity and resilience, I'm here to guide you. In our work together, you can expect a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you are met exactly as you are. I draw on somatic and contemplative therapy techniques to help you move beyond intellectualizing your emotions and into a more embodied, authentic experience of them. My approach is patient-centered, meaning I tailor every aspect of our work to your unique experiences, needs, and goals. I bring genuine warmth and honesty to each session, grounded in a deep belief in self-compassion. It is truly a privilege to witness patients step into their potential, and I look forward to supporting you on that journey. My path to becoming a therapist is rooted in lived experience. Following a Bipolar I diagnosis, I navigated my own journey through crisis and, in doing so, discovered firsthand how transformative somatic therapy can be. That experience didn't just shape my healing; it shaped my calling. Having walked through darkness and found my way toward the light through therapy, I understand on a deeply personal level what it means to feel lost and what it takes to begin feeling whole again. That understanding is at the heart of everything I do. It drives my commitment to offering you care that is not only clinically informed, but also genuinely compassionate and free of judgment. Outside of the therapy room, I find joy and restoration in many of the same practices I bring to my work. I love dancing, painting, and yoga, as well as more active pursuits like skiing, hiking, swimming, and exercise. Cooking and spending time in nature also keep me grounded and inspired. These passions fuel my belief in the healing power of movement, creativity, and connection.

Finding clarity, confidence, and direction is possible, and you don't have to figure it out alone. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I help adults and older teens navigate anxiety, stress, life transitions, and self-esteem challenges. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, caught in cycles of overthinking, or unsure of your next steps, this is a space where you can feel genuinely heard, supported, and understood while seeking greater clarity, confidence, and direction. My commitment is to be a steady partner in your care, helping you build insight and move toward a values-driven life that feels more aligned and manageable. My approach is person-centered, strengths-based, and collaborative by design. Drawing on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectal Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills, we work together to build practical strategies while developing a deeper, more compassionate understanding of yourself. Sessions are nonjudgmental and shaped around your unique needs, experiences, and goals, in a supportive and flexible environment. Whether the focus is on strengthening emotional awareness, developing coping skills, or moving through a difficult season of life, the direction of our work is always guided by what matters most to you. The goal is to support you in ways that feel meaningful and genuine, even when difficult thoughts and emotions arise. My path to becoming a therapist is rooted in personal experience. At a younger age, navigating anxiety led me to therapy, where I discovered how powerful it can be to feel truly understood while also gaining tools that make a real difference. That experience shaped everything about how I provide care that is both compassionate and actionable. This foundation also drives my commitment to bringing a real, relatable presence to every session while helping patients build skills that lead to meaningful, lasting change. Outside of the therapy room, creativity and movement keep me grounded. Reading, drawing, and working on creative projects are some of my favorite ways to recharge. Movies, time spent with dogs, and quiet walks also bring me a lot of joy.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I specialize in helping adults navigate the challenges that contribute to anxiety, depression, attention and concentration difficulties, codependency, grief, trauma, generational trauma, and PTSD. Compassion, rapport, and curiosity are at the heart of how I work with each person. Every session is designed to be a place of safety where you can explore your emotions honestly and begin creating the kind of meaningful change that lasts. Whether you're carrying the weight of past experiences or managing the demands of everyday life, I'm here to help you find your way through it. Our work together takes place in a compassionate, supportive therapeutic environment where you are seen, heard, and respected. Drawing on person-centered, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectal Behavior Therapy (DBT), and trauma-informed approaches, we'll explore the impact of past experiences and build the healthy coping skills and resilience you need to thrive. Self-compassion, mindfulness, and breathwork are integral to my practice, because how you relate to yourself matters just as much as the strategies we develop together. The goal is always the same: to help you become the best version of yourself while navigating whatever life brings your way. My path to becoming a therapist began in social work, serving underserved individuals and communities. That experience revealed just how urgent the need for accessible, quality mental health care for all individuals truly is. Witnessing the power of genuine connection and the difference it makes in people's lives deepened my commitment to providing evidence-based therapeutic interventions that not only manage symptoms but also overcome challenges faced. Today, I bring that same compassion and empathy to every session, while also gently challenging you to explore your internal dialogue, your values, and your most authentic self. Family, friends, and time spent outdoors are central to my sense of well-being, as I believe that joy and play are essential. I also love learning new things, and lately that's meant exploring the world of arts and crafts.

Life has a way of piling up. When it does, the weight of anxiety, stress, or an unexpected change can leave you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself. As a mental health therapist specializing in anxiety, stress, depression, self-esteem, relationship challenges, life transitions, and emotional regulation, I work with young adults and adults who are ready to make sense of what they're carrying and find their way back to a life that feels meaningful. Whatever brought you here, whether it's daily anxiety, a relationship that's wearing on you, or a constant sense of being off-balance, you deserve a space where you can finally slow down, sort through it, and build real inner strength. Together, we'll move at a pace that feels completely right for you, leaving room for clarity, self-discovery, and growth. It would be a true privilege to walk alongside you on that path. My approach is driven by a genuine belief that every person is capable of meaningful, lasting change, and that the right space makes all the difference. Creating an environment where you feel truly heard, understood, and free to be honest is something I care deeply about, and it shapes everything about how sessions are structured. You can expect warmth, curiosity, and zero judgment in our time together, in a warm and validating environment entirely centered on you. Every session is tailored to your unique story, your needs, and your goals. Using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I help you build practical coping strategies and develop emotional flexibility — tools that don't just work in session, but travel with you into everyday life. My path to becoming a therapist grew from a deep curiosity about human behavior and how mental health shapes the texture of daily life. Before this work, I spent years as a university professor, and my own migration journey gave me a firsthand understanding of what it really takes to adapt, rebuild, and grow through difficult transitions. These experiences inform how I show up in the room with you. They taught me how to offer a grounded, trustworthy, and steady presence that allows you the space to look inward and rediscover your own strengths. When I'm not working, I'm usually somewhere outdoors: hiking with my dog, riding my bike, or lacing up my roller skates with friends. Crafting rounds out the mix, and whatever the project, there's always something new in progress.

With more than a decade of experience as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP), I work with adults navigating a broad range of challenges, from depression and anxiety to PTSD, OCD, life transitions, and Bipolar Disorder. I’m especially passionate about perinatal health and the transition to parenthood. No matter your struggles, I provide compassionate, high-quality mental health care that is individualized and patient-centered. My goal is to hear and understand your story so you leave our visits feeling heard and hold a clear understanding of what your path to feeling better will look like. Our lives are busy, but that doesn't mean your mental health should suffer. My priority as a psychiatric nurse practitioner is to get to know you as an individual, use shared decision making, and develop an evidence-based treatment plan that fits your specific needs. This approach ensures high-quality mental health care that is accessible, personalized, and easy to fit into your life, so you can focus on feeling your best. My approach to mental health care has been shaped by more than 15 years in healthcare, beginning with inpatient work as a medical/surgical nurse. Working with individuals during vulnerable times, I recognized the links between physical health and mental health, while through my graduate work I gained experience in integrated care and was able to provide care to diverse individuals in a community mental health setting. Education has been a thread through my clinical work, including being an Associate Teaching Professor at the University of Washington. As an educator, I actively keep up to date on the latest research, which I apply to my clinical work. I expanded my practice to the private practice setting in Washington State, and a move to Colorado brought me to SOL Mental Health. Outside of work, you can find me spending time with my husband and son. I also love cooking, being outside, and sneaking in a hike or Pilates session.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with seven years of experience, dedicated to helping you reclaim your life when you're feeling stuck and unhappy. At all times, I believe in openness and showing up authentically with you in the room, and look forward to learning more about you as we work together. Holistic, tailored, and integrative is how I show up for you in our work, as I'm passionate about helping you reclaim your joy and zest for life. Together, we'll create a non-judgmental, authentic space where you feel free to be yourself. I use Mindfulness within this approach to help you rediscover who you are and what you want in life, with a direct and compassionate style tailored to your unique needs. My path to becoming a therapist began with a psychology course that piqued my interest in understanding people on a deeper level. That experience deepened my commitment to providing you with an authentic space to feel comfortable and heard. I love to travel, paint, and spend time exploring nature. Some of my favorite moments are spent with family and friends.

With five years of experience as a compassionate therapist, I help teens and adults navigate identity exploration, the impact of trauma, relationships, and emotional regulation. I believe in the power of vulnerability, and it's this belief that allows me to be a strong ally and a source of support and empowerment for you. If you're looking to gain a deeper understanding of yourself and how your life experiences and the systems you exist within have shaped you, I'd love to work with you. I look forward to creating a deeper sense of understanding and self-compassion in our work. I’m passionate about helping folks lead fulfilling and authentic lives by feeling seen and creating space for self-compassion. Working together, you can expect a warm and affirming environment that incorporates a variety of interventions, including humanistic, somatic, and parts work to help you explore your identity and navigate life’s challenges. At all times, I ensure a dynamic, eclectic, collaborative, and creative approach tailored to your unique mosaic of life experiences and needs. My path to becoming a therapist began with the adversity I experienced during childhood. This time deepened my commitment to providing empathetic care to those who also face personal and systemic challenges. I bring this wide array of lived experience, along with deep understanding and empathy, to each session. I love to juggle and stay active with flow arts, movement, and dance. I also enjoy writing poetry, sewing, traveling, drawing, listening to music, playing video games, and spending time with my cats.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate (LPCC), my focus is on helping patients navigate anxiety, depression, grief, and ADHD. Together, we work on effectively coping with these issues and managing their impact on other areas of life, such as difficulty communicating, feeling connected within relationships, or feeling overwhelmed while managing stress. For those who have experienced loss, I offer support in working through the grief process at their own pace. No matter the struggle, I’m here to provide a space where you can process and accept the areas of life and the pieces of yourself that feel challenging to face. Starting with a new therapist comes with a lot of unknowns, and I invite you to reach out with any questions you have. I'm excited to assist you in the process of building a life that is aligned with the most authentic version of yourself. I view therapy as a collaborative relationship between counselor and patient as we move toward your goals. My approach primarily draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), focused on helping you identify your values in order to work toward a meaningful life. Living in alignment with what matters most to you is, I believe, how you become the most authentic version of yourself. Sessions are direct and Mindfulness-based, designed to promote presence in the here and now while engaging in lasting transformation and healing. My goal is for you to feel safe and heard as you create change through your therapeutic journey. Early in my life, I struggled with my experience of neurodivergence. My first therapist had a huge impact on my life, helping me understand and accept that I am a whole person made up of many characteristics aside from my diagnosis. Since that first experience with therapy, my journey has involved figuring out who I am and what is important to me in my life. I want to offer others that same opportunity for self-exploration and discovery by creating a space where you can be open, authentic, and feel a little less alone in your experience. In my free time I enjoy outdoor activities like hiking and camping, spending time with my cat, painting and drawing, attending concerts, and caring for my plants.

As a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner with more than 20 years in direct patient care, I help adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, and other mental health concerns find greater clarity, stability, and confidence in their lives. Many of the patients I work with are looking for more than symptom management: they want to understand what they're experiencing, feel heard and supported, and build a treatment plan suited to their individual needs and goals. My goal is to provide a compassionate, collaborative space where you feel comfortable discussing your concerns and take meaningful steps toward improved mental and emotional well-being. I believe respect, kindness, compassion, and genuine listening are the foundation of meaningful mental health care, and strive to be a supportive, understanding, and nonjudgmental clinician who takes the time to understand your experiences, concerns, and goals. You deserve to feel heard, respected, and cared for throughout your mental health journey, and I look forward to building a trusting relationship with you, working collaboratively to find an approach that feels right for you and supporting you as you move toward greater well-being and a life that feels more fulfilling. My approach to care is compassionate, collaborative, and evidence-based, with an emphasis on understanding each person as an individual. This approach is grounded in my experience in inpatient mental health, which has given me the comfort and experience to treat a wide range of mental health concerns. I believe effective care begins with feeling heard, respected, and supported, and I'm passionate about helping you find the right balance of treatment and practical strategies so you feel more like yourself and move toward the life you want. In our work together, I draw on evidence-based psychiatric care, medication management, and therapeutic approaches to help you better understand your mental health, manage symptoms, and move toward greater stability and well-being. Your care is always individualized and tailored to your unique needs, circumstances, and goals. My path to becoming a nurse practitioner began with my work as a psychiatric technician. It was during that time I fell in love with supporting people through their mental health journeys, and I witnessed firsthand the power of a strong, collaborative team. I learned early on that compassion, empathy, and a deeper understanding of each person's unique mental health needs can make a meaningful difference in their care. Throughout my career, I've had the opportunity to work across a variety of settings and patient populations, including addiction medicine, developmental disabilities, inpatient mental health, and rehabilitation nursing. These experiences have shaped my commitment to providing high-quality, compassionate, individualized care. I bring a broad clinical perspective, genuine empathy, and a commitment to making sure every patient feels heard, respected, and valued at every visit. I enjoy staying active and spending time outdoors, especially anything that gets me into the mountains – soccer, trail running, climbing, mountaineering, and backpacking are among my favorites. Spending time with family and friends, exploring the fine arts, and attending live theatre round out my time. More recently, I've been developing my skills in landscape photography, which has given me another way to slow down, explore, and appreciate the beauty of the outdoors.

As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP), I help adults navigate a wide range of mental health concerns and life challenges, specializing in the treatment of anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, PTSD, and other concerns. Whether you’re seeking greater stability, improved daily functioning, or a better understanding of your mental health, I work with you to identify your needs, develop realistic treatment goals, and find an individualized approach that helps you feel and function your best. I believe in meeting you where you are and creating a partnership built on trust, respect, and open communication. My goal is to help you feel supported and empowered to make informed decisions about your mental health, and look forward to working together toward these meaningful, realistic goals that help you feel your best. I specialize in psychiatric evaluations and medication management for adults facing a wide range of mental health concerns. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and evidence-based, built on the belief that treatment should be individualized to each person. That means taking the time to listen, understand you as a whole person, and work together to find a plan that feels both comfortable and achievable. You can expect a welcoming, supportive, and judgment-free environment where you feel heard and involved in your own care. My style is approachable, and I encourage open communication and shared decision-making, tailoring treatment to your unique needs, preferences, and goals so you can build practical strategies for improving your mental health and overall quality of life. My path to becoming a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner grew from caring for patients in a variety of healthcare settings as a former COVID ICU nurse, outpatient oncology nurse, and contract nurse on various Native American reservations. Through that work, I was able to directly observe how deeply mental health impacts overall well-being. I bring a warm, nonjudgmental approach to my work now, striving to help you feel comfortable, heard, and involved in your care. Outside of work, I enjoy reading, singing, playing cozy games, and watercolor painting. These hobbies give me a chance to relax, be creative, and recharge.

I'm a Somatic Therapist in Longmont, CO, working with tech professionals and multicultural clients, in person and virtually across the state. I spent years as a computer programmer before becoming a therapist and know "always on" work culture from the inside. I also immigrated to the U.S. from Japan as a child. My sessions work with the body directly, through sensation, breath, and movement, alongside talk therapy. I'm also Board-Certified Dance/Movement Therapist and draw on years of Aikido and improvisational theater in my work. My clients include BIPOC, immigrant, and diaspora students balancing multiple cultures, students managing a health or medical diagnosis alongside school, and people early in a tech-track career already burned out.

I specialize in helping individuals cut through the layers of cultural conditioning, anxiety, depression, trauma, and stress so that they can be their true selves, and live the life they want to live! If you are ready to take a deep, honest dive inward, I look forward to working with you!
