Therapists for college students near 80204

Being authentic matters to me. I show up as a real person in the therapy room, and I want you to feel like you can do the same. My goal is to create a space where you can be yourself, open up, and unpack everything you’ve been carrying: the stress, the thoughts you keep to yourself, the experiences you’ve been through, and all the stuff life has handed you. When people feel safe enough to be honest and real, that’s when therapy really helps. I’m informal, down-to-earth, and easy to talk to. I believe that the relationship between us is far more important than any technique or theory. When you feel comfortable, understood, and really seen, you’re more likely to take risks, speak your truth, and make real changes. That said, I do bring strong clinical training when it’s useful. I have advanced training in Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy from the Albert Ellis Institute in New York. REBT is one tool in my toolbox and something we can use to help you understand and challenge your thoughts, shift unhelpful patterns, and create new ways of responding to stress, relationships, and life in general. But therapy with me isn’t rigid or overly structured. It’s a conversation. It’s two humans sitting down, figuring things out together. If you’re motivated to change, to feel better, to understand yourself more deeply, or to get clearer about where you want your life to go, I can help you.

Hi! We are a group therapy practice with a location in Denver and the ability to meet virtually throughout Colorado. We support students as they navigate life through and after college. Our team of kind, compassionate, knowledgeable, and light-hearted clinicians have a wide range of specialties. We get the broad range of college life - challenges of academics, social navigation, deciding whether college is right for you, what to do next, family conflict that may arise, supporting learning differences, finding clarity on what you want and how you want to live your life.

I earned my B.A. in Psychology from Towson University and am currently enrolled at the University of Denver, working toward my M.A. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling Psychology. A little bit about myself, I love pets and the outdoors, and I am a self-proclaimed nerd who loves lots of different kinds of video, card, and board games. I am devoted to nurturing and creating meaningful change within individuals, helping them cultivate resilience, embrace their authentic selves, and live in alignment with their personal values and identity. I believe mental health challenges do not discriminate and can affect anyone, which is why I am committed to creating a space where clients feel empowered to do the work that feels necessary for them. As I continue to grow in my clinical training, I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches, including existential therapy, family systems, psychodynamic theory, and mindfulness, tailoring my support to what best fits each individual client. I am passionate about working with individuals, families, groups, and couples navigating life's transitions and challenges, including anxiety, ADHD, depression, trauma, and the search for meaning. My goal is to foster healthy relationships, authenticity, autonomy, and interconnectedness within each person, supporting them in becoming healthier, more resilient individuals who can succeed in their own life's journey on their own terms, in accordance with their truths and ideal selves.

I earned my B.A. in psychology from Winthrop University and an M.A. in Clinical Psychology from Columbia University, and I am currently pursuing a PhD in Counseling Psychology from the University of Denver. As a clinical intern, I take a deeply relational approach to therapy, grounded in cultural awareness, developmental understanding, and a commitment to meeting clients exactly where they are. I believe that people grow through connections, and I work collaboratively to build a therapeutic relationship that feels safe, authentic, and genuinely supportive. I enjoy working with children, teens, and adults as they navigate identity development, relationship concerns, and major life transitions. I strive to create a warm, attuned space where clients can explore their experiences, make meaning of their stories, and move toward greater clarity and self-understanding. Outside of my clinical work, I enjoy watching movies, playing outdoor club soccer, and practicing the clarinet to help me stay grounded, creative, and balanced.

I specialize in therapy for late teens (16+) and adults with OCD, complex trauma, anxiety, depression, challenging family dynamics, athletes and those who love and support athletes, those wanting to work on relationship difficulties. Using an integrative approach, I draw from evidence-based techniques including exposure and response prevention (ERP), person-centered, attachment-relational, trauma-informed, EMDR therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). I have additional training in ERP for OCD and phobias.

My approach is systemic, meaning that I take all factors into consideration – past, present and future. I focus on supporting issues related to anxiety, depression, ADD/ADHD, substance use, body image issues, trauma and relationship struggles. I obtained my Bachelor’s Degree in Family Studies, Master’s in Social Work and a post-graduate certificate in Marriage and Family Therapy. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Addictions Counselor. I have completed training as an Intuitive Eating Counselor through The Original Intuitive Eating Pros and Eye-movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy, and IFS foundational training.

As a therapist, I aim to help individuals navigate the sometimes messy, uncomfortable parts of growth so they can move toward a life that feels more authentic. I create a space for clients to be with and feel their emotions fully so that they stop controlling their behaviors. I believe that we must be intentional with what we spend our time and energy on. When we decide what matters most to us and channel our energy into those things, rather than the things that drain us, this is when we can create real, lasting change. Therapy with me is about learning how to shift your focus to the here and now; towards what strengthens you, rather than what drains you. I am a trauma-informed, relational, collaborative provider and when working with me, clients can expect a combination of compassionate challenging, emotional attunement and a warm, supportive presence. I am passionate about my work with teens, young adults and adults facing challenges like anxiety, depression, ADHD, life transitions, relationship struggles, self-esteem issues and trauma. I also specialize in EMDR, Brainspotting and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy and often incorporate a blend of modalities in treatment, depending on each client’s unique needs. If you’re ready to step into the next version of yourself, I’d love to be part of your journey. Let’s get started.

Many of us move through life carrying stories that were never fully processed — experiences of loss, trauma, disconnection, or relationships that left us feeling unseen. I aim to create an inviting space where we can gently explore and honor these stories together. My approach to healing is integrative, spiritual, and deeply relational. I draw from somatic practices, attachment theory, and evidence-based psychotherapy to help clients explore the convergence between mind, body, and soul. I believe that meaningful change often happens through compassionate awareness of our emotions, patterned behavior, and our lived experiences. I am a trauma-informed psychotherapist-in-training passionate about helping people reconnect with themselves, their bodies, and their capacity to heal. My work centers around assisting the collective with processing trauma, overcoming obstacles, and rewiring unhelpful patterns primarily through movement and directive psychotherapy.

You may be someone who has spent years holding things together—building a career, caring for others, navigating difficult relationships, or simply doing what needed to be done—only to find yourself feeling anxious, overwhelmed, burned out, stuck, or uncertain about what comes next. Life transitions, grief, trauma, relationship difficulties, family dynamics, and changes in identity can leave even highly capable people struggling to feel like themselves. My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that meaningful change comes from both feeling deeply understood and developing practical ways to move forward. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, burnout, substance use concerns, relationship and family challenges, existential crises, and major life transitions. I draw from evidence-based approaches including DBT and CBT while tailoring therapeutic work to the individual rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach. Before becoming a therapist, I practiced law, and I understand the pressures that can accompany demanding careers, major professional transitions, and the experience of reconsidering the life you thought you were supposed to have. I bring both compassion and curiosity to therapy, along with respect for the complexity of each person’s story. Therapy can be a place to understand the patterns that keep you stuck, make sense of painful experiences, explore questions of meaning and purpose, and begin building a life that feels more connected, meaningful, and genuinely your own. I would be honored to work alongside you in that process.

Healing starts when we feel seen, heard, and accepted. My goal is to create a safe, caring, and holding space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Therapy is a team effort, and I want to build a trusting relationship that helps clients as we work together toward real, lasting change. Before I became a therapist, I spent more than 24 years as a Buddhist nun. During that time, I learned mindfulness, compassion, patience, and how to listen attentively. These experiences shape how I work with clients today. My practice is based on proven therapy methods, but I also believe that real healing comes from genuine connection, curiosity, and self-kindness. I earned my master’s in clinical Mental Health Counseling from Naropa University, with a focus on Contemplative Psychotherapy and Buddhist Psychology. As a pre-licensed therapist, I have helped teens and adults facing trauma, anxiety, depression, PTSD, grief, relationship issues, stress, self-esteem struggles, and big life changes. I have also worked closely with survivors of domestic violence and abuse, supporting them as they rebuild safety, confidence, and hope. My approach is trauma-informed, client-centered, and respectful of the client’s background. I use mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and compassion-based techniques to meet each client’s needs. I believe everyone can grow and heal, and I feel honored to help clients reconnect with their strengths and make meaningful changes. If you are going through a life change, healing from trauma, or just want a place where you can be yourself without judgment, I would love to support you on your healing journey.

At Denver Wellness Counseling, we help individuals recover from trauma, dysfunctional family systems, PTSD, relationship struggles, depression, anxiety, stressful life transitions, and grief and loss. We specialize in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) Therapy, and offer an individualized approach to meet your personal goals for counseling. Therapy at Denver Wellness Counseling focuses on 3 Pillars of Treatment where the healing process often involves the following: building tools to handle the present moment, healing past trauma(s), and building secure attachment to self & others.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate, I strive to create a safe, supportive space where you feel seen, heard, and valued. My approach is grounded in empathy, authenticity, and a deep respect for your unique experiences and strengths. I believe in the strength of each person's capacity for healing and growth. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, processing past experiences, or navigating a major life change, you don't have to face it by yourself.

I am a trauma therapist seeing clients both virtually and in-person in Broomfield, CO. I specialize in eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), which supports not only trauma processing but also helps with symptoms of depression, anxiety, and emotional dysregulation. Transitioning to college and managing that workload along with a social life and sometimes even a job can be extremely challenging. Therapy can help you manage your own emotional processes during this time and what you need in order to be your best self during a really transformative time in your life.

Welcome! I support individuals navigating complex family dynamics, relational trauma, anxiety and depression. More than that, I work with anyone feeling stuck within their life with hopes of creating meaningful change. People who see me may need help making sense of their life experiences or developing strategies to move through them. I'm particularly passionate to work with women and queer individuals. Clients seeing me may be impacted by people pleasing, big feelings, perfectionism, or chronic numbness. If any of this resonates or you just have that feeling, I'd love to connect.

Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure about what comes next? You don’t have to have your life figured out before starting therapy. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, career and school stress, identity, relationships, & major life transitions. Together, we can explore what’s underneath these experiences, better understand yourself, and find a direction that feels authentic to you.

Hi, I’m Dr. Alyssa Nadolny DNP, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I believe mental health care should feel like a conversation with someone who genuinely listens—not a place where you feel judged, rushed, or like you have to have everything figured out. College can be an exciting time, but it can also come with a lot of pressure. Between academics, relationships, friendships, family, identity, career decisions, and simply figuring out who you are, it’s completely normal to feel overwhelmed sometimes. My goal is to create a comfortable, supportive space where you can be honest about what you’re experiencing and work together to figure out what might help. I work with students experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, OCD, mood concerns, and other mental health challenges. I provide psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and individualized treatment planning, with an emphasis on education and shared decision-making. I want you to understand the “why” behind your treatment and feel like an active participant in your care. I take a collaborative, compassionate approach and meet each person where they are. There is no expectation that you have the right words or know exactly what you need when you come in. We can figure that out together. Most importantly, I want my patients to feel heard, respected, and comfortable being themselves. My hope is to help you feel more grounded, confident, and equipped to navigate both college and everything that comes after it.
