Therapists for college students near Denver, CO

Being in college can be challenging- you're juggling academics, a social life, and are in a transition age where you may be feeling a lot of pressure to have it "all figured out". I'm here to support you in finding balance as you navigate life's inevitable ups and downs. I specialize in working with individuals who are struggling with the transition to college or the many changes that arise during the college experience. I have experience working with individuals who have suffered from life-changing events and are seeking to rediscover themselves in the aftermath. I also have extensive experience assisting clients experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, identity and self-esteem issues, and healing from cancer or other physical illness. In our sessions, we’ll create a safe space to explore what you’re going through and work together to find practical steps forward. I believe that true healing involves the mind, body, and spirit all working together and I take a holistic approach to therapy. I draw from various techniques, including mindfulness and trauma-informed care, to create a space where you can feel safe and understood. My goal is to help you reconnect with yourself, discover your strengths, and learn to relate to adversity in a new way. You have taken the first step and have found this page because you are finally ready to do the work. Now, let's connect for our first session.

Melina’s approach to the counseling process is a blend of psychotherapy, self-exploration, and skill-building through a healing relationship with honesty, genuine care, humor, and compassion. Nontraditional creative outlets she may incorporate, depending on your individual needs, include nature walks, art, music, writing, mindfulness, and more. Her specialties include working through shame/guilt, empowerment and self-worth, anxiety and depression, stress reduction, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills—all through a trauma-informed and multicultural lens. Melina does individual and couples therapy in both English and Spanish. You are free to be YOU. You will find comfort in the shared human experience and create space for the possibilities of growth far beyond the walls you previously built to protect yourself but which are no longer serving you. Melina strives to create a space of non-judgment, radical acceptance, and unconditional positive regard to meet you wherever you are and facilitate your personal journey. Together, you can rewrite the stories you may have been living in, pre-defined by shame, trauma, culture, stigma, and external expectations. You will navigate your internal emotional system in a way that feels safe and is based on self-acceptance. Melina’s primary approach is Internal Family Systems (IFS)-informed to explore the different parts of you that influence your daily life and work towards internal harmony. Mindfulness, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), art therapy, somatic therapy, and narrative therapy are integrated. Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy is available. Her specialties include trauma, shame and guilt, empowerment and self-worth, anxiety and depression, relationship issues and separation mediation, psychedelic integration, and sex therapy support—all approached through a trauma-informed and multicultural lens.

Hi! I am a licensed psychologist providing individual video teletherapy sessions in Colorado. I specialize in working with those coping with trauma recovery (this could be past abuse or processing a recent painful experience), chronic medical conditions, grief and loss, and disordered eating concerns. I have had several years experience working with college students, and I know balancing your life can be really tough at this time. I work with students who have marginalized identities (e.g., BIPOC, female students) navigating the social, systemic, and personal maze of this world. I approach therapy genuinely and compassionately, and work to empower and validate my clients. Therapy is truly all about fit, so if you feel like I may be able to support you, please visit my website or contact me directly!

Welcome to Gray Dove Therapy! I'm Shelby Jacobs. I love working with students on relational issues, life transitions, personal growth/development, stress, and other issues common to the student population! I also offer spiritual counseling from a Christian perspective for those who are interested, and enjoy walking alongside those going through faith deconstruction, or who have left a high-control religious environment.

We are an organization that believes mental health care should be accessible to everyone, regardless of socio-economic status. We do this by providing an Affordable Counseling Program and overseeing a quality training program for graduate students in the mental health field. We also house like-minded holistic and mental health professionals who run their own private practices or conduct workshops and groups in our collaborative community.

As a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with eight years of combined clinical experience, my work is rooted in one simple belief: that quality mental health care should be accessible to everyone, at every stage of life. Specializing in medication management across the lifespan, I bring both clinical expertise and a deeply personal commitment to the patients I serve. Growing up as a first-generation American raised by Spanish parents, I understand firsthand how language and cultural barriers can stand between people and the care they deserve. That lived experience fuels my passion for culturally competent mental health care, and my dedication to ensuring that you feel truly understood and supported throughout your treatment. Evidence-based practice guides everything I do, because you deserve care that is both thoughtful and grounded in what works. You can expect an environment that is open, kind, and collaborative from our first meeting. Using a conversational approach to assessment and treatment planning, my goal is always to meet you where you are, not where anyone else thinks you should be. Rather than focusing solely on symptoms, you are seen as a whole person, with your own story, values, and needs shaping the direction of your care. Every treatment plan we build together reflects that holistic perspective. Finding the right path forward is a partnership, and your voice matters every step of the way. My path to becoming a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner began in an oncology office, where assisting patients receiving chemotherapy became far more than a clinical task. Sitting with people during some of their most vulnerable moments, offering conversation and a bit of warmth in the middle of something so difficult, revealed how profoundly meaningful human connection can be in a care setting. These experiences made it clear that mental health was where my work was meant to go. That early foundation continues to inform the care offered today, reminding me that presence, compassion, and genuine attention are just as important as clinical skill. When not at work, you'll likely find me out on the trails with my dogs, gliding across the ice figure skating, moving through a Pilates session, or discovering new foods while exploring somewhere new. These pursuits keep me grounded and curious, qualities that carry right back into the care I bring to every patient.

As an Asian American female with immigrant parents, navigating being a minority, assimilating into society and finding my cultural identity was a difficult time in my life. Unresolved childhood trauma and attachment issues are root causes that make us who we are - but that doesn’t mean we can’t work to change those maladaptive patterns you learned growing up… Do you also experience generational and childhood trauma, cultural expectations that don’t always align with societal norms, low self-worth and people pleasing behaviors? Do you want to change the way you react when your feelings get the best of you? Do you want to figure out the root cause of your anxiety or depression and heal your hurt inner child? Stop the cycle and be the first one in your family to start this healing journey. I’ll challenge and support you to help identify triggers, behaviors and feelings connected to past relationships or experiences in order to change the patterns that hinder you from being your best self. Being here is the first step in this journey - sign up for a free consultation today!

I work with young adults struggling with anxiety, depression, grief/loss, life adjustments, academic/career stress, body image, identity/self-esteem, LGBTQIA+ issues, and sleep issues. I am trained through an eclectic array of therapeutic modalities but often work through a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) lens. When working with sleep issues and insomnia, I am trained in CBT-I (CBT for insomnia). I prioritize meeting every client and family where they are in order to formulate an individualized treatment plan that works best for you. I enjoy genuinely connecting with my clients and their families by leaning on client strengths, values, and the authenticity of the therapeutic relationship. I find it beneficial to bring our personalities and humanness into the therapeutic process to facilitate a safe space for my clients. Life can be really messy and I'm honored to join you in that vulnerability. If it sounds like l might be a good fit for you, please reach out for a consultation! I'd be happy to connect with you.

Ultimately, I want to help you create a life where you are truly thriving.

I help young adults build confidence, feel more at ease in their bodies, make authentic decisions, and connect more deeply with themselves and others in this chaotic, heavy, and overwhelming world. This is a space to let go of perfection and get curious about what you're experiencing, so you can feel grounded, whole, and fully alive. I offer walk-and-talk and virtual therapy for young adults; many of my clients come to me for support with anxiety, low self esteem, relationship issues, life transitions, stress, and eating disorder recovery. We can talk, create art, play games, or connect with nature while we explore your emotions, find your voice, and move through challenges at your own pace. Together, we can uncover patterns and past experiences that may be keeping you stuck, helping you untangle the threads, release societal pressures, and create lasting change.

Looking for a therapist can feel overwhelming and uncertain, especially when trauma, identity, or religious experiences have made it hard to feel safe in your own life. I support adults navigating trauma, anxiety, identity, and suicidal ideation, with a focus on LGBTQIA+ and neurodiverse clients. I provide collaborative, trauma-informed care that builds coping skills, increases insight, and supports lasting change. I support clients in building strong coping skills, stability, and a sense of safety before moving into deeper trauma work. Using CAMS, DBT, IFS, trauma-informed and trauma-focused approaches, I offer collaborative, affirming care for LGBTQIA+ clients navigating trauma, identity, and suicidal thoughts. Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, especially if you’ve been carrying a lot on your own. You don’t have to do it alone. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to start, I welcome you to reach out when you’re ready.

Hi there! I’m Alex Boyce, a Licensed Professional Counselor—and I’m a firm believer that therapy doesn’t have to feel intimidating or overly serious. I received my Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from CU Denver in 2015, and I specialize in helping college students and young adults work through the challenges that come with this stage of life—things like anxiety (including that relentless “what if” spiral), stress, perfectionism, OCD, trauma, burnout, emotional ups and downs, and feeling lost or stuck. If your brain ever feels like it’s constantly running in the background or your emotions are all over the place, you’re not alone—and you’re in the right place. I’m trained in EMDR Therapy for trauma, as well as Exposure and Response Prevention and Inference-Based CBT for OCD and anxiety. Those terms might sound complicated, but I’ll break them down into real, understandable steps that actually help you make sense of what’s going on. My approach is collaborative, goal-oriented, and grounded in trust—with plenty of psychoeducation so you can understand why your mind reacts the way it does. Our first sessions are about connection and understanding what’s really going on beneath the surface. Together, we’ll make a plan that fits your goals—without judgment or pressure. What makes my practice a little different? I mix evidence-based therapy with genuine humor, empathy, and real talk. I’ve spent over a decade helping people move from survival mode to self-acceptance and confidence, and I’ll be there with you through it all—whether that means sitting in the hard stuff, celebrating wins, or laughing about the weird tricks anxiety plays on us. Outside of work, I recharge by doing yoga, hiking Colorado’s trails, paddleboarding, and catching live music when I can. If you’re ready to start feeling more like yourself—or figure out who that is—I’d be honored to walk alongside you.

Life sometimes leaves us feeling broken, damaged, and disconnected from our true selves. Maybe you’re in survival mode, fighting just to stay above water. Maybe things feel so overwhelming that you don’t even know what you feel half the time. But you’re ready to make a change. You’re ready to better manage difficult emotions, thoughts, and experiences. You’re ready for growth. Most of all, you’re ready to reconnect…with others, the world around you, and yourself. I want to help you get there. I work with adults struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, and major life transitions like the journey to parenthood or a new career. Therapy sessions with me are a mix of talking, reflection, and practical exercises. We’ll spend time exploring potential roots of your patterns while also focusing on how to create meaningful change in the present. Together, we'll create a nonjudgmental space for you to explore your emotions, develop healthier coping strategies, and work towards meaningful personal growth. I would be honored to help you explore how therapy can support you on your journey.
