Therapists for college students near Denver, CO

As a sex and relationship therapist, I work with individuals, couples and beyond who are motivated to increase emotional safety, rebuild trust, navigate life transitions (including dating coaching, premarital counseling, break ups and divorces), develop open communication and rebuild emotional and sexual intimacy. If you are trying to understand if you're in the right relationship, wanting to be a better partner, or trying to better understand your sexuality and body, please reach out for a free consultation.

I’ve been part of the Harvard Medical School system for over a decade, first as a trainee, now as faculty member. I'm trained primarily in psychodynamic therapy, but principles/interventions from other paradigms also inform my work, and I love working with students. Ultimately, the nature of therapy depends on the patient, what they are up against, and their goals. For this reason, the course of therapy is difficult to describe, but surely only ever works in a context of empathy & respect, not to mention humor (sometimes life can only be laughed at). This is a perspective I lay out in some detail in a recently published, two-volume book, titled, "A Humane Vision of Clinical Psychology." I'm a good fit for someone looking to understand and change established patterns, and to find relief from associated symptoms. Currently, I am contracted with the student insurances at Tufts and Boston College, which make sessions very inexpensive for students. I am licensed in Massachusetts, New York, Colorado, Vermont, and Connecticut. Very happy to arrange telehealth sessions for students in any of those states.

I primarily work with college students, adults and couples with a variety of concerns, including anxiety, depression, grief and loss, parenting, relational and emotional issues, infidelity, childhood abuse, gender and sexual identity, and religious and spiritual issues. I also work with people who feel stuck, aimless, or desire to possess more purpose and meaning in their lives. In addition to psychotherapy, I offer psychological assessment services for such issues as ADHD Evaluation, diagnostic clarification, and learning disorders.

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 am dedicated to working with people who want to get at the roots of their emotional distress and personal suffering. A collaborative therapeutic relationship is the single most important factor in therapeutic success. This relationship will be the keystone for facilitating your personal growth and understanding of yourself not just intellectually, but also emotionally. Over time, an internalized healing space will form where you can recover access to parts of your true self. Speaking freely without unnecessary self-censorship may be simple, but it is not easy. I encourage you to try. Through experiencing the freedom of talking in an atmosphere of radical acceptance, we liberate powerful emotional states that help us make deep and lasting changes. When fully understood, painful psychological symptoms dissolve over time. This increases your ability to live creatively. I offer psychoanalytic psychotherapy for people seeking freedom from their painful thoughts, feelings and behaviors. Please do not hesitate to email me to schedule a free consultation to learn more about how this process works and to see if we are a good fit in working together. I wish you all the best in your search.

Thank you reaching out! It would be my privilege to partner with you, so you don’t have to go it alone. Whether you’re dealing with friends, intimate relationships, family, or school, I provide a safe space to get support, insight, and ideas for action. I have a passion for working with students. This precious time in your life deserves self reflection to become more comfortable in your own skin, confident, at peace and inspired. Students who’ve worked with me have found solace in being supported with common college stressors. My specialty areas are relationships, dealing with the nature of your mind, self-advocacy and self-sabotage, emotional regulation, and passion for life. Having my career in Boulder for 40+ years has provided me with opportunities to learn a myriad of approaches to assist you most effectively. Please call or text me for a free initial consultation, or if you’d prefer, we can do a free virtual consultation.

Moving towards independence in young adulthood can have a set of challenges that aren't always specifically addressed or acknowledged by those around you. Through personal experience and a research informed, I treat each young person as unique. I focus on challenges related to anxiety, ADHD, substance use/abuse and trauma. I look at the bigger picture, striving to best understand from your particular worldview and set of circumstances. With this foundation, I provide supportive & strength-based care to give you new skills and a sense of safety in order for you to achieve your desired goals. Our work together may be process oriented, skills-based or a mix of both. In session, you can expect me to show up with warmth, authenticity, humor, and adaptability, with a unique understanding of this particular period in your life.

The challenges facing young adults in college are complex and numerous. I've developed a broad understanding of these kinds of issues throughout my years in private practice. Struggles with stress, anxiety, social issues, body image, issues around family and simply adulting are real and sometimes feel immense. However, I do believe the college years are a transformative time and these years can be an opportunity to become more self aware as well as an opportunity to be the person you want to be. I look forward to working with people who are wanting to take the next steps in their personal growth. While the path to growth and wellness can be difficult, it is a crucial endeavor and I would be honored to help you along your journey.

Foothills CBT Psychology Group is a team of doctoral-level psychologists based in Boulder, just minutes from CU Boulder's campus. We know the specific pressures of college life: academic stress, homesickness, roommate and relationship conflict, identity and life-transition questions, anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma, and the burnout that comes with trying to do it all. Our therapists are trained in evidence-based approaches including CBT, ACT, DBT, and exposure-based treatment (ERP), and we tailor our approach to each client rather than using a one-size-fits-all model. We see clients in our Boulder office and also offer telehealth throughout Colorado through PSYPACT, so you can keep your same therapist even if you head home for breaks or move within the state after graduation. Our clinicians work together as an integrated team, so you're matched with the provider whose training and approach genuinely fit what you're looking for. Because we're a group practice, you're not limited to one option. We have several qualified, licensed psychologists on our team, each with their own areas of focus and their own way of working with clients, so if the first fit doesn't feel quite right, there's likely someone else on our team who will. Personality and rapport matter as much as credentials, and we want you to find a therapist you actually want to keep seeing. We are a private-pay practice (we do not bill insurance directly, though we can provide superbills for out-of-network reimbursement).
