Therapists for college students near Boulder, CO

I have a hard time saying no to people...I feel constantly overwhelmed, like I can’t handle my own emotions...Why do I keep making the same mistakes when it comes to relationships? If these thoughts resonate with you, you’re not alone. These struggles can make you feel stuck, questioning yourself and your worth, wondering if you’ll ever feel better. The truth is, you are not broken, and you don’t need to be "fixed." Therapy isn’t about becoming someone else; it’s about reconnecting with your authentic self, learning to navigate your emotions, and finding ways to feel grounded and confident again. Let me help you help yourself! I believe true change comes from within, and my role is to empower you on that journey. I use a personalized approach because I know therapy is not a "one size fits all" experience. Together, we’ll explore how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are interconnected to help you understand yourself better. Above all else, I want you to feel safe, heard and supported so that you can comfortably explore your feelings and experiences without fear or judgment. If any of this sounds helpful, let’s talk. Call me or send me a message to schedule a complimentary session, and let’s take that first step toward creating the life you want to be living.

I am glad you found me. I’m here to help you. I might be the therapist for you if: you're struggling after experiencing traumatic events or loss, professional burnout or compassion fatigue are getting in the way at home and work, or if you find yourself struggling to get through the day because of low energy and little interest or too much anxiety. I specialize in treating first responders, military veterans, foreign-aid workers, nurses, and other caregivers experiencing PTSD, compassion fatigue and burnout, complex grief, and men’s mental health including depression and anxiety. Everyone’s journey is unique. For that reason, I am trained in client-centered therapies non-judgementally helping clients wherever they be on their journey. I also use several evidence based therapies including acceptance commitment therapy (ACT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), grief therapy, trauma therapy and mindfulness based interventions. I help people work toward their goals of finding understanding, stability, and direction. I can help reduce the intensity of painful memories and difficulty emotions. Therapy can improve relationships and improve the overall quality of life. I help transform grief and trauma and other life circumstances into inspiration to open a new chapter of life.

You might feel stuck in patterns that are hard to shift, in how you relate to yourself, communicate with others, or navigate relationships. On the outside, it may seem like you have it together, but inside there’s self-doubt or disconnection. I resonate with clients who are curious about their inner world and ready to understand the “why” beneath old habits. Together, we build self-trust, deepen connection, and create space for clarity, care, and ease, within yourself and in your relationships. I offer a warm, presence-centered approach that honors your lived experience. I support clients navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, life transitions, body image, self-esteem, and relationship issues. My work is rooted in mindfulness and self-compassion, always shaped by your unique needs and goals. Therapy is a brave space to come home to yourself. If you’re seeking relief, clarity, or a deeper sense of connection, I’d be honored to walk alongside you. I’m a counseling intern under clinical supervision and drawn to clients ready to show up more fully. There’s no perfect place to start, just a willingness to begin.

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.

Seeking support can feel vulnerable, and I believe therapy works best when you feel genuinely seen, heard, and understood. From the moment we begin working together, my goal is to create a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you can safely explore life's challenges, build self-awareness, and move toward meaningful change at your own pace. With nearly a decade of experience in the mental health field, I work with adults of all ages navigating anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, self-esteem challenges, and the impacts of addiction. There is a particular place in my heart for emerging adults as they find their footing through identity development, relationships, career pressures, and the significant changes that come with early adulthood. Therapy is not one-size-fits-all, and I approach every person I work with as exactly that: an individual. Drawing from a range of evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectal Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness, and narrative therapy, I meet you where you are and build a holistic, individualized therapeutic experience that feels supportive, collaborative, and tailored to your unique needs, strengths, and goals. Recognizing that each person's experiences, challenges, and healing process are different shapes everything about how I show up for you. My aim, as a person-centered and trauma-informed therapist, is for you to leave each session feeling empowered, supported, and more connected to yourself as you navigate life's complexities. Graduating with my Master's Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Adams State University in 2023 marked the beginning of a career rooted in purpose. Upon earning my LPC credential, I began providing outpatient therapy in the Boulder area, offering individual counseling to adults seeking support in managing their mental health and building a fulfilling life. At the heart of this work is a deep belief in the strength and resilience of the human spirit. Whatever you are navigating, I am here to walk alongside you with care and understanding.

Our practice provides evaluation services, psychiatric services, and individual therapy. At Boulder Neuro, we believe that everyone deserves access to mental health support. While college can often be fun, new, and exciting, it can also be a stressful and confusing time. We're here to help you with any part of that process that we can. Even if all you're looking for is someone you can talk to, please don't hesitate to give us a call or send us a message.

As a Licensed Master Social Worker and Clinical Candidate with more than a decade of experience, I offer adolescents and adults a warm, safe space where patients feel truly seen and supported. I specialize in trauma and mood disorders, helping individuals develop coping skills and understand how their mind and body respond to stress and life transitions. My approach is grounded in building a collaborative, compassionate, and authentic relationship where you are empowered to regulate, heal from anxiety, depression, and trauma, and move toward a more balanced and peaceful way of living. I deeply believe that no one has to navigate their pain alone and that everyone deserves the opportunity to heal. I believe in practicing radical empathy and acceptance, which helps me be a therapist who believes in hope and healing – because I have experienced it. Working together, you are assured a welcoming and judgement-free environment that incorporates a strengths-based approach, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and polyvagal-informed techniques to help you understand your reactions, reduce stress, and feel more balanced. My style is supportive and authentic, with a touch of humor when appropriate, and adapted to your hopes and goals. I look forward to being part of your mental health journey to help build resilience, regulate the mind and body, and cultivate a more peaceful, balanced life. My path to becoming a therapist began with my own mental health journey in my 20s. Having survived a traumatic upbringing, I knew I needed serious healing in order to build the life I wanted for myself. This personal experience in overcoming obstacles raised by trauma deepened my commitment to pursuing a career in mental health, and fueled my commitment to providing a holistic and deeply empathic approach to helping others heal. That’s why, in my practice now, I bring a humble and nonjudgmental perspective to each session, knowing that we all need help on our life journeys. When I’m not in the office, I love taking photos in nature, hiking, skiing, attending live music concerts (especially at outdoor venues), traveling, and learning about plants and animals. I’m also a big fan of mental health and wellness podcasts as well as card and board games (Catan is super fun, even if I don't often win!). Most of all, I love dogs, especially my senior dog (Frenchie/pug/beagle mix).

The journey I embark on with clients and my perspective is informed by an alchemical Mind/Body/Soul model, which uses Jungian-based and Embodied Psycho-dynamic principles, combined with other modalities that recognize the multiple aspects of psyche and dynamics within the human experience. My perspective holds that unresolved issues from the past create thought, belief, behavior, and life patterns that negatively impact the present. I believe all people are beautiful divine souls. Our suffering and pain on this earth-walk takes nothing away from our divinity, it births our compassion and spiritual consciousness. This perspective has been the guiding light of my life's path.

Together, we will work on finding meaning and purpose in your life, managing anxiety and ruminating thoughts, and overcoming trauma.

“With adversity comes opportunity” from the I Ching- Or Book of Changes The decision to seek therapy can be due to times of stress or the desire to seek change. We know that change is not always a straight path. To take a “road less traveled” can be filled with a beautiful river that flows and leads to clarity or it be a be a river filled with large boulders that need to be traversed with help and support. Therapy can be a tool that facilitates resilience and transformation. My approach in therapy is to first engage in a process of discovery. As your therapist, we will work together to discover what events, situations, and relationships in your life or your past do not work for you now. It is really important to understand how your life works in order to set goals and create change. Most importantly, it is important to remember that change affects all the people in your life.

Hi, I'm Salvia! I’m a licensed psychologist with extensive experience supporting college students as they navigate academic stress, relationships, past trauma, and personal growth. Some Areas I Specialize In: High-Stress Academic Programs Ph.D. programs, Law School, and other demanding fields can be overwhelming. I help students manage the stress that comes with them, including burnout, imposter syndrome, perfectionism, self-criticism, and challenging relationships with research mentors and peers.

Relationship Challenges Whether it’s friendships, family dynamics, or romantic relationships (monogamous and non-monogamous), I support students in navigating complex interpersonal dynamics. Climate Emotions The reality of climate change can bring up grief, anxiety, anger, and despair. I help students process these feelings and explore ways to stay engaged. My Approach to Therapy: I am committed to providing trauma-informed, multicultural-oriented, LGBTQ+ affirmative, and climate-aware therapy. My approach is holistic and evidence-based, exploring each client's concerns through a sociocultural and systemic lens. Education: I completed my Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology at the University of Utah, my doctoral internship at Duke University, where I worked with students in high-stress academic programs, and a postdoctoral fellowship at UC Santa Cruz, specializing in supporting students who have experienced interpersonal trauma.
