Therapists for college students near 80204

I work with individuals and couples (including other relationship styles such as ethical non-monogamy and polyamory) who are wanting to engage in deep exploration of their current and past concerns and understand their impact. This understanding will assist you in feeling empowered to live the life that you want to live.

Self doubt, anxiety, or overwhelm can leave us lacking a sense of belonging, feeling behind where we "should" be, or feeling stuck. You’re not broken; You just haven’t been given the opportunity or skills to connect with your authentic self and develop the systems and self understanding that will allow you to succeed and feel more at ease with yourself. With approximately 20 years of experience, I bring authenticity, warmth, compassion, humor, and honesty into the therapy space. Together we'll work on building a stronger sense of self and work to build more stability and consistency for yourself.

I often work with students who are dealing with anxiety, school stress, family conflict, or feeling overwhelmed by expectations. You might feel like you’re trying to keep everything together while struggling on the inside. In therapy, we’ll slow things down, make sense of what you’re experiencing, and develop skills that help you feel more grounded in yourself and supported in life. I also encourage parent coaching sessions to help caregivers learn tools to better support their child’s emotional growth.

Dr. Kelsey George is a licensed professional counselor, holding licenses both in Pennsylvania and Colorado. She holds a Ph.D. in counselor education from Duquesne University. She is currently an affiliate faculty at Regis University in Denver, Colorado and a certified yoga teacher. My best work is with adults, emerging adults, couples, and families suffering from mood disorders, interpersonal conflict, adjustment, stress, anxiety, and depression. My treatment approach includes mindfulness practices, positive psychology, relational communication, ACT, yoga therapy, ketamine-assisted, Buddhist psychology, and CBT.

Anxiety and depression are so prevalent these days. Coping with difficult transitions such as adjusting to college, being weighed down by existential/career pressures can feel so overwhelming. Romantic struggles are also stressful, including conflict with your beloved related to intimacy, infidelity, etc. Communication with your partner/family member can feel so frustrating at times. "Getting on the same page" with your partner prior to taking the next step would feel great. Coping with a loss can make you feel powerless. These are all really heavy life challenges that many of us face, but you don't have to face them alone. I am here to help. I work with individuals and couples by providing you with the tools you need for healthier relationships, better communication, and more fulfillment. I will help you sort through the various questions that impede love and joy in your life. I also offer Brainspotting, a revolutionary brain-body processing method that heals emotional wounds/traumas which may take longer to heal with traditional talk therapy alone. I look forward to offering you an opportunity for more healing!

Banyan Counseling Collective is comprised of therapists who specialize in trauma, narcissistic abuse, shame, anxiety, depression, and addiction. We strive to assist clients in gaining a deeper understanding of themselves, their needs, and what they want out of the important relationships in their lives.

As an art therapist, I use creativity as a way to help people better understand themselves, manage stress, and work through difficult emotions. Art therapy can be especially helpful for people who may have a hard time putting their feelings or experiences into words. Through creating, connecting, and working together, art therapy can help individuals navigate challenges, explore their identity, and build confidence. I have experience working with individuals who experience anxiety, depression, autism, ADHD, and other mental health concerns. Whether you are dealing with a specific challenge, processing a difficult experience, or simply looking for ways to improve your emotional well-being, art therapy can be a supportive space to explore and grow. Feel free to reach out if you have questions or would like to connect!

We have immediate openings in our Lakewood and Denver offices. We are here to help you work through life stresses, anxiety, depression, as well as other personal challenges.

Center for Resilience Strategies (CRS) is a counseling and coaching center providing accessible, affordable, and effective mental health services to the greater Denver area.

PEERS® Denver offers parent/coach-assisted social skills programs for teens (ages 13-17) as well as young adults (ages 17-29). Developed at UCLA, the PEERS® program is backed by extensive research showing positive and lasting results in the social lives of the teens and young adults who participate. The goal of the program is to teach skills that are essential for making and keeping friends (and in the young adult program, dating skills are also covered). Meetings are held for 90 minutes once per week over a 16-week period. Each week, the teens and young adults will learn a new set of skills in a particular topic area (for example, starting and maintaining conversations, joining group conversations, having get-togethers, etc.), and they will also get a chance to practice those skills through games, role plays, and other activities. Parents/coaches will meet all together in a separate group at the same time as the teens and young adults. Parents/coaches will learn the exact same skills as their teens and young adults, but they will get specific instruction in how to act as social coaches, so they can most effectively support their teen or young adult in practicing and applying the skills. Groups will be offered both virtually and in-person beginning in January of 2022. For a free 15-20 minute phone screen to learn more about whether this program is the right fit for you and your family, please call the Program Director, Dr. Jason Peirce, at 720-645-8827.

While certain seasons of life are difficult, they’re oftentimes the catalyst for remarkable self-growth. My goal as your therapist is to help you understand your unique lens and experience, so you can live your life with more intention, enjoyment, self-awareness, and alignment with your highest Self. I specialize in helping you feel unstuck, so you can find the way back to a more connected, content, and embodied life. Whether you’re seeking therapy for anxiety, relationships, or a life transition, my warm, holistic approach provides a non-judgmental space to seek refuge, process, (dare I say, laugh?), and heal. We will work together to mindfully observe your patterns, dysregulation, self-limiting beliefs, and strengths, then find a path forward toward meaningful change. Committing to this transformational inner work is a big step, and it might take a few tries to find a therapist that feels aligned. If you’re curious about working together, let’s jump on a free 15-minute video consultation call. I’m happy to answer any questions you have and provide more insight about how I can best support your therapy goals.

Do you ever feel like you're constantly translating your neurotype, culture, trauma, or identity for a world that wasn't built for you? You don't have to do that here. I provide neurodivergent-affirming therapy in Denver for children, teens, and adults navigating ADHD, autism, trauma, emotional regulation, sensory overwhelm, LGBTQIA+ identity. My therapy space is low-demand and unmasked. No code-switching. No educating your therapist. I work especially well with people navigating masking, people-pleasing, identity shifts, sensory overwhelm, reproductive stress, or feeling like they're "too much" or "not enough." We move at your pace, with curiosity and compassion. My approach blends somatic, experiential, expressive arts, CBT, and strength-based therapy. We build practical tools for emotional regulation, boundaries, relationships, and self-understanding. I offer in-person therapy in Denver and telehealth throughout Colorado. Reach out for a free 15-minute consultation.

We each possess unique strengths and values that shape who we are. As your therapist, my goal is to help you access those strengths to navigate life’s challenges with greater clarity, confidence, and self-compassion. With a background in neuroscience and 8 years of clinical experience, I work with adolescents through older adults and have supported those affected by Alzheimer’s Disease and Functional Neurological Disorder. I also focus on relationships, women’s health, academic distress, and queer mental health. I strive to create a warm, affirming space where clients feel seen and understood in the fullness of their identity. I tailor therapy to each client’s unique story, needs, and goals. Grounded in neuroscience, my approach is eclectic and client-centered. I draw from ACT, Narrative Therapy, DBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, IFS, feminist theory, and trauma-informed somatic practices. Together, we explore values, identity, internal parts, and the mind-body connection. My role is to walk alongside you as a collaborator and supporter. I offer a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore difficult emotions, past experiences, and present-day challenges at your own pace. Together, we’ll reconnect with your inner wisdom and resilience while building greater self-understanding and well-being.

College should be about growth, not just survival. If you're struggling with unpredictable mood swings, overwhelming worry, lots of sadness, or using substances to cope, or climate anxiety, I'm here for you. I work best with students who experience intense emotional ups and downs, find themselves caught in cycles of productivity followed by inability to function, or use alcohol or other substances to manage difficult feelings and thoughts, or those who are preoccupied with climate-related grief or anxiety. I offer a space where you don't need to hide your challenges or pretend to have it all together. We'll focus on getting to know each other, creating a safe space to open up, and increasing coping strategies, such as recognizing early warning signs, building supportive routines, navigating academic pressures, developing genuine connections without relying on substances, and handling the climate crisis with more ease. Whether you're facing mood swings, anxiety, depression, substance use challenges, climate distress, or all of these, there's a path forward. Reach out today to take the first step towards change, growth and stability.

I enjoy the experience of witnessing my clients release traumatic events from their core. I know and understand, as I have been there myself, what it feels like to feel weighted down by events/emotions that are no longer in existence. I help my clients release these combinations of events and emotions that no longer serve them.

Welcome to my page! I love creating safe spaces for people to explore, heal, and navigate the hard dynamics of life. Life is hard, but you don't have to hold it alone. I have worked with College Students for the last 15 years, and currently a Therapist at Colorado School of Mines. I offer a free 15 minute consultation so if you'd like to try out what it would be like to do therapy with me, text, call or email me so we can set up a free 15 minute session!

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.
