Therapists for college students near 80204

I am originally from California, but have called Colorado (Denver) my home for the last thirteen years. While I do miss the ocean, I love being in the mountains and all they have to offer. When I am not working, I am often playing in my garden, doing something in the kitchen, spending time with friends and family, or traveling. I am the same person during session as I am outside of session; laid back, a little goofy, genuinely curious about others’ lives, and compassionate. I use she/her pronouns. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Licensed Addiction Counselor (LAC) and am licensed to see clients in Colorado, Indiana, Florida and Nevada. I have been practicing therapy since 2013 and truly enjoy working with my clients. I love learning about how trauma and stress can impact our minds, bodies and nervous systems and the ways we can heal and start to feel better. I am a Certified Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapist as well as a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP). I often use a mixture of EMDR, Somatic Experiencing (SE), attachment, parts focused, and mindfulness techniques to help clients begin to unpack stressful or traumatic events and begin to integrate a sense of healing back into their minds and bodies. These techniques can be helpful for clients struggling with anxiety and depression symptoms, who have experienced one or more traumatic events, substance use, emotion regulation, or uncomfortable body sensations.

Have you grown bored with life? Have you lost that spark? Do you ask yourself, "Why is this happening?" or "Why is this happening to me?" Does it feel like the universe is against you? If you feel you are ready to explore these questions then I invite you to contact me. If you do not choose me please keep searching. Do not give up. Help is out there! I am a Veteran of the United States Navy and was a 1st responder. I believe this and being a therapist have prepared me to work with my fellow Veterans and 1st responders. I also believe I can offer a unique perspective that can help Veterans and 1st responders better adapt and cope. I have worked with different Veterans with different backgrounds for years.

We do this through connection, gaining understanding of your somatic experiences, and exploring the stories you tell yourself about who you are. I am committed to continued professional growth to ensure the clients I work with are receiving high quality care. I aim to empower people to grow while processing emotions and finding connection with their inner voice. Reach out to see if it feels like I might be the right fit for you!

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Certified Perinatal Mental Health Specialist (PMH-C) providing therapy for adults throughout Colorado. I specialize in anxiety, perfectionism, people pleasing, relationship challenges, childhood wounds, and the transitions that come with pregnancy, postpartum, and parenthood. My approach is warm, collaborative, and attachment-focused, integrating evidence-based and somatic therapies to help clients better understand themselves, strengthen relationships, and create lasting change.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by classes, relationships, family dynamics, or just life in general? College can be a time of huge transition — emotionally, socially, and academically. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, or stress around identity and relationships, I offer a safe, inclusive space where you don’t have to figure it all out alone. I work with college students from all walks of life and am passionate about creating a space rooted in empathy, curiosity, and genuine connection. My approach is always tailored to you, because no two people experience things the same way. Therapy can feel intimidating, but I’ll make sure you feel seen, heard, and supported every step of the way. I specialize in a trauma-informed and systemic approach, incorporating modalities like Internal Family Systems (IFS), Narrative Therapy, and Attachment Theory to help you explore your inner world with compassion and clarity. My work is experiential and empowering — designed to help you better understand yourself and move toward the life you want to live. Finding the right therapist can be tough, and I want this to be a space that feels not only safe but also meaningful and real. Whether you're working through personal challenges or navigating complicated relationships, I’m here to support you.

My approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and somatic therapy, always grounded in empathy, validation, and trauma-informed care. I believe your struggles are rarely just one stand-alone issue — they reflect a combination of your history, your lived experience, and how the world has affected you. Together, we create a collaborative and compassionate environment where you remain in charge, and I'm here to support your journey of healing. My path to becoming a therapist began with my own experience of loss and trauma during a major life transition, when I struggled to access the mental health support I needed. I bring this perspective into my care with you, focusing on your needs and experiences to achieve your healing goals. My hobbies include reading, gardening and spending time outside with my family.

Hi, I’m Megan (she/her)! I’m a therapist with a PhD and an LCSW, and I bring together clinical practice, creativity, and research to help people feel more connected to themselves and their lives. I primarily offer in-person therapy sessions and typically work with children, adolescents, and young adults (ages 8-30). My work is grounded in the belief that healing doesn’t happen in isolation; it’s shaped by our relationships, identities, and the environments we move through. I offer a warm, collaborative space where you can explore your experiences at your own pace. I often support clients navigating anxiety, depression, self-harm, low self-esteem, trauma, and related challenges, while also recognizing that diagnoses are only one small part of a much larger story. Rather than focusing solely on labels, I center your lived experience and what feels most meaningful and helpful to you. I draw on approaches such as nature-based, arts-based, and play-based therapies, as well as client-centered practices. As a queer-identified therapist, I am especially passionate about working with LGBTQIA+ clients and providing affirming, thoughtful care that honors the complexity and joy of your identities.

Hi there! My name is Lizzy, and I’m so glad you’re here. As a Highly Sensitive Person, I’m passionate about working with individuals who feel things deeply—those who are attuned to their environments, sensitive to others’ emotions, and sometimes struggle to regulate their own big feelings. I also support people who experience anxiety, including situational anxiety. Maybe you don’t feel anxious all the time, but you notice it spiking in certain situations—like when meeting new people, navigating your romantic life, or worrying about failing or disappointing others. I have extensive experience working with individuals whose brains are still developing their emotional regulation skills, and I truly love what I do. This work not only helps me continue to grow as a professional, but also supports others in building resilience, self-awareness, and authenticity.

Know Yourself. Trust Yourself. Be Yourself. At Balanced Mental Wellness, we address the root cause of mental health conditions, rather that treating surface symptoms. Our practice operates from the belief that all individuals are created whole. We combine personalized holistic modalities with innovative medical treatments to promote healing and connection to self. Come Home to Yourself™ We also offer Ketamine assisted psychotherapy and treatment for psychosis through med management.

Do you ever feel like you just need to cry, scream, break down, or maybe do all three? Sometimes, life can feel like a lot to carry on your own, especially these days. I aim to provide a space where you can slow down, feel heard, and work through the things that feel difficult to put into words. I believe therapy should be collaborative, supportive, and tailored to you. My approach draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and creative approaches such as art, music, and play. I strive to create an affirming, judgment-free space for people of diverse identities, relationships, and lived experiences. I am LGBTQ+ and kink-friendly, and I believe every client deserves to feel safe, respected, understood, and supported. Together, we can work toward meaningful change while building on your strengths, values, and goals.

I work with older teens and adults who experience trauma symptoms, anxiety, depression, self-esteem and identity issues, LGBTQIA2S+ concerns, or other life transitions. I believe a strong therapeutic relationship prompts fuller connections in other areas of life - to oneself, to others, and to the environment. We will work to discover your personal values, explore and process patterned behaviors and relationships, and uncover and utilize your own strengths to take steps towards achieving personal goals. My approach is trauma-focused and person-centered, including a background in psychodynamic therapy, somatic attachment theory, parts work, TF-CBT, and holistic wellness.

Hi, I’m Katrina Bassett, a therapist dedicated to helping college students navigate the pressures of school life, mental health challenges, and personal growth. Whether you're dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma, or adjusting to major life transitions, I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can process and heal at your own pace. Using evidence-based techniques like Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Somatic Experiencing Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, I aim to help you build resilience, manage overwhelming emotions, and find a sense of balance in your life. College can be tough, but you don’t have to go through it alone. I’m here to help you thrive, not just survive, and work together to set the foundation for long-term mental wellness.

I am a Marriage and Family Therapist Candidate with experience supporting couples and individuals as they navigate the issues that matter most to them. My passion for this field began in the rural South, where I became fascinated by the relationships that sustain us and the ways we communicate with ourselves and each other, especially in the face of trauma. I believe that every person has the capacity for growth and change, and my role is to walk alongside you, offering support and tools that can help you move toward the life and relationships you want. In my practice, I specialize in working with couples from diverse relationship and family structures wanting to strengthen communication, deepen connection, and develop healthier ways to manage conflict. I am Gottman Level 2 certified, an approach to couples therapy that focuses on building strong, healthy relationships. I am also informed by the Psychobiological Approach to Couples Therapy (PACT) that draws from attachment theory and cognitive neuroscience to help couples move toward secure functioning as they learn to regulate emotion together. We will work together to create a strong foundation upon which a secure relationship can be built. I also specialize in working with individuals of all ages navigating LGBT issues such as gender identity, which is deeply linked to how we are perceived and show up in the world. My approach utilizes a trauma-informed lens to identify the impacts on everyday life and guide where the client would most like to explore. I am informed by the Neuroaffective Relational Model (NARM) that uses both somatic and psychodynamic techniques to identify survival patterns that are no longer useful to us and works on bringing the mind and body into alignment. I also incorporate Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), which focuses on how we experience and express emotion, supporting healthier regulation and deeper self-understanding. We will work together to create a space to process and explore as you move toward personal growth. It is a privilege to work with my clients as they gain the courage to take steps toward personal growth and build meaningful relationships with themselves and others.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), I work with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, emotion regulation, substance use recovery, and life transitions. Many of the patients I see feel overwhelmed by these struggles and find themselves caught in unhealthy coping patterns, difficult relationships, or people-pleasing. Together, we focus on building healthier ways to cope. Lasting change, in my experience, happens when patients feel both supported and equipped with practical tools, and that belief shapes how I show up as a collaborative, goal-oriented partner in your growth. I look forward to helping you gain greater insight, develop healthier coping strategies, and create a life that feels more balanced and fulfilling. In our work together, you can expect a warm and supportive environment where I'm passionate about empowering you with the knowledge and tools you need to navigate life's challenges with greater confidence and resilience. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing, and solution-focused therapy to help you build practical coping skills, improve emotion regulation, and create meaningful, lasting change. This approach is collaborative, practical, and evidence-based while being tailored to your unique needs and goals. My path to becoming a therapist began with working in inpatient and outpatient addiction treatment, helping patients navigate co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders. This experience deepened my commitment to providing compassionate, patient-centered care that balances validation with practical skill-building. Now, I bring warmth, curiosity, and a collaborative, goal-oriented perspective to each session, empowering patients to better understand themselves and develop the tools they need to thrive. Outside of work, I love spending time outdoors and staying active. Some of my favorite hobbies include skiing, mountain biking, rafting, wake surfing, water skiing, and golfing. These activities help me recharge and appreciate the time I spend in nature. I also enjoy watercolor painting and reading. Painting provides a creative outlet and a chance to slow down, while reading allows me to keep learning and unwind. My favorite books are on psychology, personal development, and fiction.

I’m excited to work with you to build resources, develop skills, and assist you in taking any necessary steps toward achieving your goals. My style is relational, holistic, empathic, and collaborative; I believe that you are the expert of your experience. I enjoy working to understand where you’re coming from so that we can explore your roadblocks in life together. I use a combination of approaches that will be catered to your individual needs. Give me a call to see if we’re a good fit! I believe compassion, understanding, and the therapeutic relationship are valuable as the framework for change. Much of my experience includes working with teens and adults to treat problems with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, substance abuse, codependency, women’s issues, obsessive-compulsive disorders, personality disorders, eating disorders, and trauma.
