Therapists for college students near Boulder, CO

College can be an exciting time, but it can also bring a lot of pressure, uncertainty, and change. Having worked on a college campus for several years, I understand the unique challenges students face as they navigate academics, relationships, independence, career decisions, and what comes next. I work especially well with students who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, or unsure of their direction. My approach is practical, supportive, and collaborative. Together, we’ll slow things down, sort through what’s weighing on you, and help you feel more confident in your decisions and your next steps. You don’t have to have everything figured out before you reach out. If you’re wondering whether we might be a good fit, email or call me to schedule a free 20-minute consultation. We can talk about what you’re looking for and see if working together feels like the right next step.

Peak Serenity Counseling & Nutrition is a therapy practice devoted to meeting the mental health needs of adolescents, families, and adults living in Colorado and Virginia. We believe that challenging and changing unhealthy behaviors will yield overall better mental and physical health. Together with our clients, we explore past experiences and examine how they continue to impact the present and influence behaviors. Our holistic approach looks at the entire person and not just at the symptoms they are experiencing. Our goal at Peak Serenity is to help clients find their full potential and well-being through self-exploration, understanding, and acceptance of their true, authentic self. Through learning to value themselves and understand their wants and needs, clients explore and discover what brings them to their own sense of peak serenity.

As a graduate counseling intern, I help you navigate questions of identity, meaning, and purpose, especially if you're facing stress, relational conflict, or a life transition that has left you feeling stuck, disconnected, or uncertain about your direction. I believe in the power of authentically showing up fully for another person, which allows me to be a steady, nonjudgmental partner to you as you navigate whatever brought you to counseling in the first place. I am eager to work with people who want to be genuinely heard rather than fixed, who are ready to slow down and explore their thoughts and experiences without judgment, and who are open to examining the values and beliefs that shape their choices. Many of my patients are navigating unhelpful thought patterns or a sense that they have lost touch with what matters most to them. You may want practical tools, but you may also want room to ask bigger questions about how you want to live authentically. I see you as capable and resilient, already carrying the expertise on your own life, and my role is to walk alongside you, offer perspective, and support the insight and agency you are working to reclaim. Reaching out for support can sometimes feel vulnerable, particularly if you're unsure whether counseling is "for you." Wherever you're starting from, please know that you don't have to have it all figured out first. My goal is to offer a space where you can be honest, feel heard, and begin to reconnect with your own sense of clarity and direction in life. If any part of this resonates with you, I'd be honored to be part of your story. My approach is integrative, drawing on person-centered, existential, and cognitive-behavioral techniques, and each one serves a purpose: to help you gain clarity, reconnect with your values, and respond differently to life's challenges. Sessions are supportive and nonjudgmental, with a warm and collaborative style rather than directive. I tailor the pace and focus of our work to your goals, your worldview, and how ready you feel to explore, because real healing happens when you feel safe enough to look at your thoughts and experiences at your own pace, with support. You are always the expert on your own life; my role is to ask thoughtful questions and offer perspective as you work toward greater insight and well-being. Growing up in a divorced home taught me early what it means to hold space for people through challenging times, and spending my summers as a camp counselor showed me how much I love guiding others through personal growth. After graduating with a degree in finance, I spent years building professional success that looked good from the outside but left me feeling disconnected from what mattered most. That disconnection eventually transformed into clarity, with the realization that I wanted work that let me integrate my relational instincts, my desire to serve, and the impact I want to have on my community. Counseling became the natural next step, and I saw it as a way to turn what I had always done instinctively into a calling. Today, I bring a grounded, genuine presence to each session, shaped by years of showing up for others and a belief in people's fundamental capacity to heal and change. I enjoy staying active with skiing, hiking, and fly fishing, and I like to slow down with reading, journaling, yoga, and strength training. Stargazing and spending time in nature round things out for me.

I am passionate about helping college students empower themselves in order for them to live their most authentic life. A compassionate environment for individuals is provided to process their thoughts and emotions, while they receive support and guidance. In taking a holistic viewpoint, I consider all aspects of the client's including, social, emotional, and physical wellbeing.

The students we work best with are often the ones who look like they are doing fine. You are getting the work done and showing up, but you are tired in a way sleep does not fix, and there is a low hum of dread that never fully goes away. Many of them were the ones who always did well before, so struggling feels like admitting something. What comes up most: anxiety that was manageable at home and is not manageable here, being far from family and not wanting to worry them, a relationship taking up more room than your classes, and family things that did not stay behind when you left. Our therapists are licensed across eleven states, so if you are at school in one and your family is in another, we can usually keep going over the breaks instead of starting over. In Colorado, sessions are by secure video, so you can meet from anywhere in the state. Evening times are available when they open up. You do not need a diagnosis to come in.

I specialize in supporting teens, women, and LGBTQIA+ individuals navigating depression, anxiety, identity exploration, and trauma. In our first few sessions we will explore how you move through the world and establish goals for therapy together based on your unique experiences and strengths. I offer both online and in-person sessions at West Wind Counseling. I am trained in evidence based counseling practices, trauma-informed mindfulness, DBT, traumatology, and am working toward EMDR certification. I also use somatic based interventions and parts work in sessions. Ask me about climbing therapy, which offers a unique way to explore how we navigate challenges, build resilience, and practice mindfulness!

Hi there! My name is Hannah and I am a therapist with my MSW from MSU Denver. I approach therapy through a client-centered, trauma-informed lens. I aim to provide a compassionate and supportive space where clients can explore their emotions, experiences, and challenges at their own pace. I am passionate about working with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. I draw from an integrative approach using evidence-based modalities including CBT, ACT, and Person-Centered therapy to support clients in building resilience, insight, and meaningful change.

Hi, I’m Emily, a licensed professional counselor, licensed in California, Colorado, and Wisconsin, with a passion for supporting neurodivergent individuals of all ages. I earned my counseling degree from the University of Northern Colorado and completed my undergraduate studies at The Ohio State University. My experience spans private practice, school counseling, and working with military families, giving me a deep understanding of the unique challenges people face at different stages of life. Advocacy and inclusivity are at the heart of my work, and I take a neurodivergent affirming, client-centered approach, which integrates social-emotional learning and evidence-based interventions to foster resilience and personal growth. I believe that healing happens through connection, and my goal is to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel empowered to explore, grow, and thrive. Whether you’re beginning therapy for the first time or looking for a new therapeutic connection, I’m here to walk alongside you with curiosity, compassion, and a collaborative spirit. If you’re ready to take the next step, I’d be honored to connect with you.

Hi there! I'm a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) and I'm passionate about helping people break free from the cycles of anxiety, OCD, panic attacks, and phobias. My style is warm, collaborative, and empowering. In our work together you can expect me to share concrete tools and skills that help you build confidence and move towards your goals, while also encouraging deeper self-understanding and self-compassion. I pull from ERP (the gold standard treatment for OCD), as well as IFS/ Parts Work and DBT, and I tailor our work to what feels supportive and effective for you. If any of this resonates with you, please don't hesitate to reach out. I would be honored to connect with you!

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, my work is rooted in helping teens and adults navigate complex trauma, late-diagnosed or suspected neurodivergent experiences, and the deeper questions of identity, relationships, and purpose. Whether you're processing a difficult life transition, untangling a late diagnosis of autism or ADHD, or beginning to understand how past experiences have shaped who you are today, I'm here to help you find clarity, connection, and a path forward. I believe in the power of connection and the idea that every part of you has value, which helps me be a genuine partner in building something that actually works for you. There’s no clipboard here, no one-size-fits-all plan handed down without context. Together, we'll explore who you are, tinker with the pieces, and discover the purpose you came here to find. You can expect warmth, honesty, and a comfortable space that feels both safe and genuine throughout our time together. Drawing on humanistic, neuroscience-based, attachment theory, and solution-focused approaches, we'll explore your relationships, emotions, identity, and purpose in a way that's collaborative from the start. Your plan is built with you, not for you, because your needs, experiences, and goals are the compass for everything we do together. Authentic and curious by nature, I believe that all parts of a person are worth examining and none of them are broken. That conviction shows up in every session. My path to becoming a therapist began in grief counseling and restorative justice intervention, where I witnessed firsthand how much a genuine human connection could change someone's trajectory. That experience deepened my commitment to relationship-centered care, where the therapeutic connection itself is part of the healing process. More than 10 years of advanced training from CU Boulder and Northwestern University ground my clinical practice, but what I bring to the work goes beyond a résumé: vulnerable humanity, genuine curiosity, and the occasional well-timed laugh. Outside of sessions, you'll find me in the boxing gym, tending to my aquariums, or playing percussion in bluegrass and folk music. These pursuits keep me grounded, present, and endlessly curious, qualities I carry into every session with you.

I provide meaning-centered counseling for individuals navigating trauma, chronic pain, and long-standing stress. My practice is grounded in the belief that experiences are held not only as memories or thoughts, but also within the nervous system as patterns shaped over time. When appropriate, I integrate body-based tools and insight-oriented approaches, supporting students who may understand their experiences intellectually yet continue to feel trapped in how their body responds. Work is paced, collaborative, and attentive to context, readiness, and lived experience rather than quick symptom fixes. My services are offered through in-person sessions in Frisco, Texas, and via secure telehealth across the state. My private practice is self-pay. For those wanting to use insurance, I also see clients through Legacy Trails Therapy, where select plans are accepted under supervisory billing. This can be discussed during consultation.

I am a believer that we are all interconnected. Our relationships matter most to our wellbeing. And while we are living in a time where we are easily able to connect with one another, we have also never been so isolated and alone. The messages we receive from our greater systems often are at odds with what I know contribute to our wellbeing. Because of that we can often feel stuck, less than, or constantly hustling for “that thing.” We can end up chasing the wrong thing and find ourselves perpetually behind or inadequate. Our culture often places so much emphasis on outcomes, appearance, and external or material things. I sincerely believe that they are often at the root of our unhappiness. We often are doing the thing we think will help us but it ultimately harms us! We are doing it wrong. Together we will explore the often painful and uncomfortable spaces within and work from an Inside-Out approach. In doing so, we find that the storms tend to be more universal, we see our common humanity, we develop more self compassion and compassion and empathy for others. When we are our authentic selves, we become more free and our sessions will include plenty of laughing even as we dive into the parts that feel hard. We were never meant to do this life alone. And yet – so many of us are often sold on false narratives that “it’s just you” or have been invalidated, shamed, or traumatized by oppressive systems on the larger scale or within our own homes. My pride in the work is to help you become your best self, the one who is not merely living, but the one who is truly alive. Feeling it all, skin in the game, open to heartbreak, receptive to joy. Facing our pain is not easy (I know this well!). But I know deeply that when we do the right kind of hard, our efforts are fruitful beyond measure. Let’s face this together.
