Therapists for college students near University of Colorado Boulder

Are you struggling with life changes? Do events from your past impact your daily life? Therapy can be a great start in overcoming these challenges. I provide relief in the short-term and develop skills to prepare you for the obstacles ahead. I am a skilled trauma clinician experienced in working with different populations, settings, and various traumas. I help those who struggle in their present lives with past or current trauma, which may include issues of self-harm, suicide, substance abuse, and more. I also am trained in EMDR Therapy as a vital tool in helping with symptoms of trauma. I would love to help you during these life transitions. I am currently taking clients in person or virtually. I look forward to meeting you and helping you along this journey!

Trying to keep it all together, and make sense of life? Feeling worried, confused, trapped and stuck trying to fix "it" alone or hoping things will get better? I suspect these feelings have been with you for a while. You're not alone. Usually, people don't seek help right away; many of us attempt to tackle our problems ourselves. We often conceal our emotions and thoughts, worried about others' judgements. Life doesn't have to look this way or be so challenging. You have the power to create change, and I can help you. My counseling is rooted in connection and understanding, creating a safe, authentic space for clients to explore their past, and future aspirations. Together, we'll embrace your uniqueness and work towards a more fulfilling life by fostering autonomy; building self-confidence; connecting with your emotions; and finding lasting solutions. I have an honest, empathetic, and direct style. I incorporate reality and cognitive behavioral therapy into my practice to encourage growth and change. I have experience in relationships, life transitions, anxiety, and low self-esteem. Your courage to get to this point is admirable, don't stop here. Call me or send me a message. Let's talk.

Welcome! I am a former lawyer, turned second career psychotherapist, practicing as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California, Colorado and Utah. In the meantime, I raised three adult kids, all with ADHD and LD’s. I specialize in navigating complicated relationships, managing anxiety and depression, exploring more recent and childhood traumas, and honestly, navigating life as a student. Want to talk about law school; I’m your girl. Want to blame everything on a parent? Happy to do it. Want to make real progress and laugh along the way? Let’s go!

Revolving thoughts of sadness, fear, trauma, or even grief can make it extremely difficult to have hope. Day to day activities start to feel meaningless. I would like to guide you out of the darkness and towards growth. You are not meant to live in the shadows. I am here to help you cultivate a mental environment capable of prosperity. My specialties include: Addiction & Substance Use, Anxiety & Depression, Autism Creative Arts Techniques, Grief Counseling, Identity Formation, Purpose and Meaning, Spirituality, Trauma/PTSD, Military Veterans and Family Members. As a counselor, I find it powerful to help my clients find emotional independence. I am here to guide your discovery, what your potential is and how you can get there. There is beauty in your vulnerability and openness to change, change that can redirect the projection of your life.

Have you ever thought to yourself— “I need someone to talk to, but struggle to open up”... “I just can’t seem to snap out of this sadness”... “I feel like I have no sense of direction”... “I feel overwhelmed”... Feeling lost, overwhelmed, or stuck can make life a constant struggle. Sometimes, our subconscious thoughts lead us to repeat the same actions even when we want to change, creating a cycle that feels difficult to break. If you're struggling with anxiety, depression, or a past trauma, you don't have to do it alone. It takes great courage to open up to someone and ask for help. If you’re ready to take that step, I’m here to support and empower you to learn, grow and process whatever is on your mind. I provide counseling to children and adults and utilize a solutions-focused, strengths-based approach. Please call or send a message if you think we might be a good fit.

I am a psychologist in private practice. I work with students to help them cope better with depression, anxiety, academic and family stressors, and relationship issues. I like to work with students over time to sustain lasting and meaningful changes in their lives so that they can successfully work toward their goals. I help students navigate their family and friend relationships as well as work through any old patterns that get in their way of getting along well with others and managing their day to day stressors.

Are the constant stressors of life wearing down on you? Have you lost motivation to do the things that once brought you joy? Do you find yourself isolating from your support system? You are not broken. You have so much magic inside of you waiting to come back to the surface! Are the constant stressors of life wearing down on you?

I aim to provide a space where problem-solving, strengths, and motivations can be explored together. Life is full of stressors that are out of our control, which may make you feel stuck. While life might not always be a constant, there are ways to practice self-love. If you feel I can help you alongside your journey of healing, give me a call today and we can create a plan together.

Dr. Jason Turret is a licensed psychologist who provides psychological testing services including ADHD testing, learning disability evaluations, IQ/giftedness testing, adoption evaluations, and personality testing. He is committed to providing high quality evaluations in a timely manner.

I have over 10 years of experience working with hundreds of college-age clients from all walks of life. With my background as both a special education teacher and college and career counselor, I enjoy helping clients explore their identity, increase self-confidence and autonomy, and overcome fears (or whatever else is blocking them from living well). As a therapist, most of the clients I see experience OCD, anxiety, and neurodivergence. I tailor treatment to my clients’ individual needs and create a warm, supportive environment in sessions where they can truly be themselves without judgment.

My journey into the world of mental health services has come through my own struggles with adoption trauma, addiction, and long-term depression. Such conditions have made me an avid researcher of the human mind and heart, and a passionate experimenter of the means by which we transform both. This research and experimentation has (thankfully) fine-tuned my relationship skills and made me fluent in many languages of internal exploration.​ The most impactful of all of these have been the practices of meditation and somatic psychotherapy. I have spent nearly twenty years exploring them in depth and I would love to share them with you.

I partner with clients to navigate life transitions, addressing challenges such as grief, loss, and anxiety. As an adept practitioner of EMDR therapy, I employ an eclectic and mindful approach to help individuals overcome trauma and align their lives with their values. Specializing as a relationship expert, I offer guidance to individuals and couples, focusing on enhancing communication skills and nurturing secure functioning relationships. Committed to LGBTQIA+ support, I maintain a sex-positive and body-positive stance, recognizing the transformative and healing potential inherent in each individual.
